HoopsHype has released an updated version of its ranking of the 80 greatest NBA players ever, continuing a yearly project focused on the league's all-time elite. The feature revisits where basketball's biggest names stand in the historical debate and refreshes the list for another season.

According to the outlet, this is the sixth straight year it has updated its all-time NBA player rankings. HoopsHype says the project began in 2021, when it published its own list shortly before the league unveiled an official all-time group of stars.

The annual update keeps the conversation going around how players from different eras should be compared. Rankings like this often draw attention because they put legends, retired icons and more recent superstars into a single all-time order.

While the trimmed preview does not include the full placements or changes, the latest HoopsHype list adds another chapter to the long-running argument over who truly belongs at the top of the greatest NBA players ever discussion.
