Welcome in to a very special edition of the What's Right with Nick Right

Podcast, YouTube show, subscribe rate, review, all that stuff. But here's why it's

Special Edition. About three years, I started on a project.

The idea was to do the 50 best players of the last 50 years

in the NBA to basically take from Kareem's rookie year to right now and not only

give you a list of 50 but put them in order 1 through 50. It has taken me years

I thought it was going to be a book. It's now via this platform that we're going to do it.

So it's really the 50 best players of kind of the last 52 years, but we're going to call it 50 of the last 50 from green to now.

We'll get into who just missed,

we'll get into who was too old later.

But before we get to number 50, just to set the parameters,

I'm not, what matters, what does matter, what doesn't matter. I'm not what matters what does matter what doesn't matter I'm not worried about

off the court stuff I'm not worried about the Olympics I'm not worried about

international ball I am worried about how many all NBA teams did you make did you ever win an

MVP what did you do in the playoffs what did you do in the biggest moments what were

your biggest accolades and awards those are the things that matter to me. And now, without further ado, let's get right to

number 50, one of the great what ifs in NBA history, the great Bernard King.

Number 50 Bernard King.

He pairs quite nicely like a wine with a steak with number 49.

We'll explain that in a moment.

The accolades are the following.

Two-time first-team all-nba, one-time second team, one-time third team.
