Go ahead. No joke, I'd like to see your 100 players. If you don't have Ray Allen on there, though...

#100
[FONT="Garamond"]The 100th spot on the list is reserved for active players, who while not having full resumes yet, are on their way to cracking the list of the 100 greatest before their time is through. This year there are five such players tied for the 100th spot. [/FONT]
[FONT="Book Antiqua"]#100 Dwight Howard[/FONT]
Team(s): Orlando Magic
Years Played: 2004-
Career Numbers: 17.3 ppg 12.5 rpg 2.0 bpg
Howard is one of the game's fastest rising stars and is poised to be the premier center in the league for the foreseeable future. Already three all-star games two slam dunk titles, two rebounding titles, two first team All-NBA selections and a trip to the NBA finals on his resume he is sure to move higher and higher up the list every year.
[FONT="Book Antiqua"]#100 Carmelo Anthony[/FONT]
Team(s): Denver Nuggets
Years Played: 2003-
Career Numbers: 24.6 ppg 6.1 rpg 3.1 apg
Part of that amazing 2003 Draft Class that already features two members inside the top 99, Carmelo is well on his way to making it three. A prolific scorer, his defense and leadership spiked this season and his team surged into the conference final. Expect him to improve on his three consecutive third team All-NBA selections next season with a 1st or 2nd team spot.
[FONT="Book Antiqua"]#100 Chris Paul[/FONT]
Team(s): New Orleans Hornets
Years Played: 2005-
Career Numbers: 18.8 ppg 9.6 apg 4.8 rpg 2.4 spg
Already widely regarded as the games best point guard Paul has already netted two assist and three total steals crowns while putting the Hornets back into the playoffs and NBA relevancy. Coming off a first team All-NBA selection last season Paul has a very bright future ahead of him.
[FONT="Book Antiqua"]#100 Amare Stoudemire[/FONT]
Team(s): Phoenix Suns
Years Played: 2002-
Career Numbers: 21.1 ppg 8.9 rpg 1.5 bpg
Recovering from injuries and regaining as much of the explosiveness that's made him the NBA's most dangerous in the paint scorer of the last five years will be key for Amare and how high he climbs on this list. With a first and two second team All-NBA selections already to his name he's approaching the likes of Alonzo Mourning, Dave Cowens, Bill Walton, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld and Dikembe Mutumbo in terms of personal accolades already.
[FONT="Book Antiqua"]#100 Yao Ming[/FONT]
Team(s): Houston Rockets
Years Played: 2002-
Career Numbers: 19.1 ppg 9.3 rpg 1.6 apg
The world's most popular players still and the most fascinating and frustrating in the NBA. It seems unlikely now that he'll eclipse many more players at his position on this list as he sits in the 100 spot for the third straight year. Injuries are piling up for Yao and postseason success is not. A seven time all-star and with two second and three third team All-NBA selections a fine career but it still feels underwhelming given his unique attributes and skills.

That's a major concern and something Houston has to consider when deciding what to do with T-Mac's expiring contract.
If Yao's career ends today is he a top 25 Center All-time?

Kevin Johnson is ALOT higher than #99. He is Top 50.

No way, watch more of the list unfold and you'll see. I could see you arguing him 10-20 spots higher but top 50 is reserved for guys who were elite in their eras and\or won championships and played big on the biggest stage.
Still if you have some reasons why, I'd love to hear them. Which PG's would you compare him to career wise?

He had limited seasons at a high play level before injuries and decline, still had three 20-10 seasons

Shouldn't had played that game 3. His team was destined to be beaten and he wasn't in great form

IT would be hard to find 25 centers more ttalneted than Yao but better production let me try
Wilt
Jabbar
Russ
THurmond
Reed
Unseld
Cowens
Walton
Hakeem
DROB
Lambieer
Ewing
ALonzo
Mutombo
George Milkin
The Ed guy the celtics traded for Russ
Moses Malone
Robert parrish
this is off the top of my head and no order but cant think of anyone id rank over Yao at this point but D Howard
I put Ralph sampson and Yao in the same boat injuries and Wlaton over yao cause he did have 1 year that he won a title and helped to win another
