Prospect-Central: Top 100 Hooper's Never to Play in NBA

Prospect-Central: Top 100 Hooper's Never to Play in NBA

Written by: Prospect-Central

According to current estimates, there've been around 108 billion people to live on earth since the beginning of humanity. Of all those people, roughly 50 billion have been men. And of all those men, there have only been around 4,800 NBA players that have ever existed on this planet! As of right now, there are roughly 525 current NBA players give or take, but the number most relevant with this article is 💯.

Are the players listed below the absolute best 100 basketball players of all-time to have never played a single minute in the NBA? I have no idea obviously. But were those same athletes able to play 1 game in the NBA without sticking out like a sore thumb? You're god damn right they were! How good they would have been as NBA players is certainly up for debate, but that's where rankings come into play, so lets give it the old college try shall we.
