The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

atlsfinest Greek the Freak is my dude but there is nothing he can realistically do to ever be a CONSENSUS Top 5 player of all time. Culturally, he isn't important enough for anyone to even put him in that group. No chance.

Culturally, I 100% agree with you but I think he can continue to awards, accolades and titles. Like Gill said in the video though, it's a tough group to break into. Although I'm not super big into comparing players from different eras (different rules, different positions, different circumstances, etc) , here is my top five:

LeBron
Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Bird

When you look at this group, the minimum barrier of entry is three championships and three MVPs.

Paul George has a podcast? Good lord.

atlsfinest Yea, I got you. I understand what you are saying. I think many would agree if we were able to just look at blind accomplishments with no names attached to them.

1. I think Giannis has potential to be a top five player if he continues on his current trajectory and his body holds up.

2. Even being a Lakers fan and Kobe Bryant literally being the reason that I watch basketball in the first place, I believe that he's slightly overrated. I have him in the 8-10 range, not the top 5. It is interesting that former and current players seem to have Kobe ranked very highly though.

that's gunna depend a ton on how Gannis skillset ages.

Given his reliance on athleticism, offense might be a problem as he gets older.


We've already seen a big drop in his efficiency in his age 28 season.
could be a blip, but gotta wait and see.



also, he got extremely lucky in that championship run.
they got the perfect draw, and still had problems.

His resume is top 5ish for sure

And the impact he had on a generation and his peers is significant.

Not surprising at all tbh.

Will still never understand the Lonzo over Fox camp in that draft.

What if I told you strawberry pancakes decided the fate of a young man’s career?

Lavar’s pancakes he made for Magic and Rob that morning sealed the deal

 

[Mister Meaner]

Yannis not gonna get the proper shine spending his whole career in podunk market.

Yea, we waiting on you, king.

Become a legend and do what Bron and KD never had the cajones to; put on that heavy jersey and defend the Mecca.

 

[NickFolarin]

Is Wiggins shut down for the rest of the season? Doesn’t feel like he’s gonna be back.

 

[Lizakers]

a while ago, this guy was hyped to be it......

Can’t lie. That summer league was lit and he dropped like 30 on Phoenix in the first week of the season. I thought he was the one

Then he proceeded to average 2 air ball layups per game and 3.1 side of the backboard threes

Some people make a living off gambling. Kinda wack of Kyrie to talk down on people making an honest living.
