Sidney Moncrief I No. 44 I Nick Wright's Top 50 NBA Players of the Last 50 Years I What's Wright?

Two-time Defensive Player of the Year and four-time First Team All-Defense, former Milwaukee Bucks star Sidney Moncrief is No. 44 on Nick Wright's Top 50 NBA Players of the Last 50 Years. Moncrief led the Bucks to the third-best record of any team during the 1980s. Like Dominique Wilkins, Moncrief never won a championship, but Nick doesn't slight him for it because of the dominance of other teams like the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons.

Defensive Player Ladder: Q&A with Sidney Moncrief, the NBA's first Defensive Player of the Year

The NBA began its honorary All-Defensive Team selections back in 1969, which enabled folks to recognize such defensive stalwarts as Bill Russell, Dave DeBusschere, Jerry Sloan, Gus Johnson, Nate Thurmond, Paul Silas, Norm Van Lier and others while they still were active.
