I consider Magic a game changer too. He’s the guy who started the loosening up of the traditional, rigid basketball position framework.

Of course, I wasn't trying to go that far back but he would definitely be on the Game Changers List.I consider Magic a game changer too. He’s the guy who started the loosening up of the traditional, rigid basketball position framework.
Shaq wasn't generational?? We haven't seen anyone comparable since
D’Antoni changed the way basketball is played, got made fun of for it in real time, and now gets 0 credit![]()
He deserves more respect. But I think he does get credited.
He just wants to say Kobe is allwhy don't u just say whats on ur mind
call out the names papi
Wilt’s an interesting case because the team success he achieved doesn’t seem commensurate with how individually dominant he was.How has nobody named Wilt Chamberlain as generational? He’s the textbook example

in the same breath, how will the warriors defend the pistons, they for sure not getting any points int he paintMy question for any of the hypothetical convos is this.
When and how will the game be played? Would evolved versions of those Pistons players suit up and play GSW?
Or would the GSW players be transported back in time to act/play like players of that era?
Because it they were to meet in present day, AS IS, I just don't understand how Detroit would stand a chance defending the modern playstyle that they have NEVER been exposed to.
I understand your pointI just view generational a little different. I weigh, "How much did they change the landscape, how much did they "evolve" the game. How many (attempted) duplicates of this player have gotten GMs fired for taking chances on."
Game changing ability.
Steph Is more "generational" than
Kobe
Shaq
Tim Duncan
Allen Iverson
A lot of these dudes were amazing talents and celebrities but didn't really change the game outside of coming in and doing damage to the league for an extended time period. (Not belittling that at all)
I won't say KD because he ushered in a new prototype into the game.
LeBron is one in a million. He style is unique and hasn't been duplicated.
Kobe: Best carbon copy of the perfect picture (Not a knock but also not evolving the game; if anything the hero style has hurt the game but that's another convo for another day that Jordan/Kobe fans don't want to face)
To me, the most important players when it comes to changing the landscape of basketball in my OPINION:
Steph
Dirk
KG
KD
*Based on my lifetime only*
(Again, my formula for generational is different than most)

I understand your point
So your definition of generational doesn't make sense
instead you can straight up say he was a game changing player
that doesn't mean curry wasn't generational
curry is generational, and so is duncan, shaq, kobe and AI
i think once you use the current words your point makes sense,
He just wants to say Kobe is all
I think the closest we can get to the 2004 pistons vs the 2017 warriors is a 2k matchWhy wouldn't they get points in the paint with a wide open lane caused by all the shooting/spacing the GSW team would create?
But I never said those other people weren't generational. Never once.
