Colin Cowherd Drops His 'Top 10 Most Important NBA Players Ever' Rankings

Colin Cowherd: “There is a lot of debating on who are the ten best basketball players of all time and I thought what does ‘best’ mean? It’s easier to get my arms around ‘impactful’ and ‘important.’ My wife is the most ‘important’ person in our family, that’s an easy one. ‘Best’? What does that mean? Is it points? Is it MVPs?

I’m going to go in chronological order in terms of eras.” (Full Segment Above)
