The NBA 75th Anniversary Team is Here!
Introducing the Most Elite Players in NBA History
David Thompson: A Scorer for the Ages
The NBA has unveiled its long-awaited 75th Anniversary Team, honoring the greatest players to ever grace the hardwood. As the league celebrates its diamond anniversary, the announcement has sent shockwaves through the basketball world. One of the most notable selections is David Thompson, a transcendent scorer who left an indelible mark on the game despite a tragically short career.
Thompson, a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA First Team selection, was a scoring machine unlike any other. He averaged a staggering 22.4 points per game over his nine-year career, leading the league in scoring during the 1977-78 season. His electrifying style of play, combined with his uncanny ability to get to the rim at will, made him one of the most feared and respected players of his era.
Despite his brilliance on the court, Thompson's career was cut short by injuries. He retired at the age of 30, having played just 493 games. Yet, his impact on the game was profound. In 1996, he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, a testament to his extraordinary talent and legacy. Thompson will now join the pantheon of NBA greats as a member of the 75th Anniversary Team, cementing his place as one of the most prolific scorers in league history.
