I was thinking today, I’ve seen talks about people entering their prime at really old ages, like Karl Malone for example. But that made wonder, who hit the peak of their career at the younger ages? For example, micheal carter Williams practically peaked in his rookie year.

He got a ring in those 12 years. And he‘ll still be a first ballot Hall of Famer

I understand the respect factor but rankings like this change over time. They really should have done it properly and removed some of the top 50 guys from 1996 who objectively wouldn't be top 75 in 2022. So instead of Dame or AD it should have been one of the old timers who aren't objective good enough.

Since they just kept the top 50 from 1996 out of respect and added 25 new players.
