NBA 35th Anniversary Team

The NBA 35th Anniversary Team were chosen on October 30, 1980, to honor the 35th anniversary of the founding of the National Basketball Association (NBA) as the Basketball Association of America (BAA) in 1946.[1][2][3] It was the second anniversary team in the NBA.[4] Unlike its predecessor, the NBA 25th Anniversary Team, that followed the concept of an All-NBA Team, this team was more like an NBA All-Star team that contains the eleven best players in the NBA's 35 years existence regardless of their position, and also had a coach.[3] In addition, this team did not require a player to have completed his career to be eligible for this Team.
