After the announcement of the list, it caused a quarrel among various names. In particular, Lillard's selection and Howard's loss made many people unable to understand. There is no doubt about Lillard's strength, but he has not yet obtained a decent honor. This is quite different from other selected players. Not to mention the championship, he did not even enter the finals. This is because the outside world believes that he is not qualified to be selected. Important reason. American journalist Sean Yang said: "It's totally unreasonable for Lillard to overpower Howard." Yang shared the data comparison between the two. Howard won 8 All-Stars, 5 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, and 2020. NBA championship, 8 best team, 5 best defensive team, 2004-05 season best rookie team, 3 best defensive player, Lillard has only 6 All-Stars, 6 best team, 2012- Rookie of the 13 season, the best rookie of the 2012-13 season. Obviously Lillard's book of honor is far less rich than Howard. A more direct comparison is that Howard led the team to the NBA Finals at his peak. At his peak, he was the leading center in the league. He was also an NBA champion. The best result of Lillard's peak was the Western Conference Finals.

An NBA trainer commented in related news: "No one can stop Howard at the peak, really shaking his head!" Howard replied: "Disrespect people." Howard expressed his dissatisfaction with this.

Yao Ming, who has received much attention from Chinese fans, did not appear on the 75th anniversary list. Former NBA star Kenny Smith held an injustice for Yao Ming on live TV. "What I want to express is that even if he is not among the 76 stars, he should at least be connected to this list."
