In this episode of the often pored-over #BallisBae NBA Podcast, we discuss the top 75 players of the NBA by creating a mini-list of our own. We debate the prevalence/importance of persona vs performance, and we make tough choices to break rules to avoid leaving greatness out.

(7:34) - Vineet talks about his favorite era of basketball
