NBA All-Star weekend was a star-studded affair as usual, but this year's installment was especially notable due to the presence of many of the game's icons of yesteryear to mark the 75th Anniversary Team.
While the honorees were announced back in October 2021, a televised event during All-Star festivities brought the interesting concept back into the spotlight.

Among retired players, many users took exception to the absence of Pau Gasol, Tracy McGrady, Alex English, Dikembo Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Webber, Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, and longtime Spurs stars Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
It seemed the top candidates many were willing to remove from their personal lists were Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, and Carmelo Anthony.
