The Over and Back Classic NBA podcast continues its offseason series looking at the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players in history, with a look at the career and Top 50 candidacy of Bob Lanier.

Jason Mann, Rich Kraetsch and Adam Criblez (@AdamCriblez) discuss Lanier being one of the worst omissions from the 1996 50 Greatest Players list, comparisons to Patrick Ewing, his incredible athleticism in his youth, battling through eight knee operations, the struggles of his Pistons teams, and his emotional reaction to being traded from Detroit to Milwaukee.
