Os melhores na história da NBA

O site americano Bleacher Report teve a coragem de publicar os 12 melhores jogadores das trinta equipes da NBA. Além dos cinco titulares, o site completou a lista de cada equipe com sete reservas.

Após montar os times, foi feito um ranking dos melhores elencos. Confira a lista.

Mas primeiro, algumas regras básicas.

1. Se um jogador jogou por várias equipes em sua carreira, ele só é elegível na equipe com a qual ele jogou mais temporadas.

2. Os jogadores são elegíveis para os cargos que desempenharam. Larry Bird, por exemplo, pode ter sido um small forward, mas ele se destacou mais como power forward. O que eu quero dizer? O jogador será listado na posição que melhor atuou.

Bom, vamos à lista? Aproveite!
