Intro

This is a list ranking the top 25 players since the year 2000. Just to qualify, the list is not limited to players drafted in 2000 or later. It is a list ranking the players who had the biggest impact in this century so far. So players like Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Shaq, Kevin Garnett, and others that were drafted in the 90s but had a huge impact in the 2000s are definitely eligible on this list. To make the list I combined my own personal list with the list of 11 other panelists to create a more inclusive and less biased list. I wanted a list that would reflect multiple opinions and not just that of my own. At the end of the overall list, I will have the individual list of everyone who contributed also posted below so that you can see how each panelist voted. I’ll also list their twitter handle so that you can @ them if you want to respond to anyone’s list specifically because there were definitely some list I found questionable. However, it is not my place to criticism anyone’s list. I will leave that to you guys. I cannot stress enough that I am only responsible for my list, which will be listed under the heading “@The_Coach_Buck” and I would ask that you do not ask me any questions about any other list not under that heading as I didn’t create the other list. Now with all of that out of the way let’s get to the list.
