How do you incorporate an ArrayList inside a ComboBox (GUI Project Help)?

Question

Basically, I created a project around NBA Greats of Our Past. There is around 76 players so rather than typing all of them up in JCreator, how can you use an Arraylist to make things easier. I already created the spreadsheet on Excel with all the names. But the problem is that I don't know how to use them inside my ComboBox.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ComboBoxDemo extends JFrame {
     private String[] nbaGreats = {"Michael Jordan"};
     private ImageIcon[] nbaImage = {
          new ImageIcon("H:/jordan.jpeg")
     private String[] nbaDescription = new String[1];
     private DescriptionPanel descriptionPanel = new DescriptionPanel();
     private JComboBox jcbo = new JComboBox(nbaGreats);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          ComboBoxDemo frame = new ComboBoxDemo();
          frame.pack();
          frame.setTitle("NBA Greats");
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
     public ComboBoxDemo() {
          nbaDescription[0] = "(Included Yet, Description not Included Yet";
          setDisplay(0);
          add(jcbo, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          add(descriptionPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          jcbo.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
               public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                    setDisplay(jcbo.getSelectedIndex());
     public void setDisplay(int index) {
          descriptionPanel.setTitle(nbaGreats[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setImageIcon(nbaImage[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setDescription(nbaDescription[index]);
               I Included a picture for reference. [http://img442.imageshack.us/i/98328443.png/]

Answer 1

Its a working example. The tutorial examplains the code in steps.
Any code we give you will be no different.
but it doesn't really help me because I don't understand itIf you have a specific question about the code from the demo then maybe we can help you, but "I don't understand it" is not a question.
