Seeing the descent of a good man into a villain is extremely entertaining because of how relatable it is. But seeing everything from his perspective you could see yourself following the same path. People don't want to think that they would do the same but anyone could really do it if pushed enough, it's a deep dive into how a "villain" could see himself as good because they are doing what they do for the "right reasons".

I have Giannis 5th right now because of longevity (or lack thereof), but honestly, I wouldn't be mad if someone puts him at 2. He has the best peak (and potentially the best prime) by any power forward ever, he's the most complete player at the position outside of Tim and KG, and his resume is already better than everyone except for probably Tim. What would be a hot take is saying that he is (or is at least on pace to be) the GOAT PF. Tim is basically untouchable with that title.

It pains me to say because KG is my favorite player ever, put Giannis is absolutely the 2nd best PF of all time. KG has 1 ring, an MVP, and a DPOY. Dirk has a ring, and MVP, and a finals MVP. Charles Barkley has an MVP. Karl Malone (fuck Karl Malone btw) has two MVPs. Giannis already has a ring, 2 MVPs, a DPOY, and a finals MVP. The only PF with a better resume than Giannis right now is Tim Duncan, and the only thing the other all time great PF's have on Giannis is all time stats, which I don't think make their resumes significantly more impressive than Giannis's.

@@disthymia6929 yeah individual play matters, rings matter as well. The gap between all the points you made for KG are arguably and are not much of a difference from Giannis. It’s so little of a difference where you’d have to debate accolades at this point and Giannis has better accolades than KG. Not to mention better stats, better team records(though KG did have bad rosters), and one of the greatest(arguably the greatest) finals series and performance ever. All this at a much younger age than KG as well. The only thing that KG has over Giannis is longevity(which I believe shouldn’t be held in this standard when Giannis has such a resume already) and Giannis is sure to pass that, but peak wise Giannis is arguably better(I personally think so) and with a better resume. KG is great, but I believe Giannis has surpassed him.

Duncan is currently 1 on the PF list but 2 is basically peak vs longevity. Peak is Giannis, in 3 years he has as many MVPs as Dirk and KG combined and 1 ring to match both of them, including 1 DPOY to match KG. Longevity isn't there yet but the peak is so high it really depends on what you prefer. Regardless it's impossible to keep him out of the top 5 of his position. Personally I'm a peak guy so I would have it as Duncan, Giannis, KG, Dirk, Barkley

What you said about Walter White and characters like him is so true, I came to realize that characters like that are incredibly intriguing but they should not be viewed as heroes. A perfect example that I’m sure you’d agree with is Joel from the Last of Us. When Joel was killed unceremoniously in Pt 2 I was kinda pissed but then the more I thought about it I realized that characters like him don’t deserve ceremonies or celebration. He is our main character and we like him cuz that’s where we get our insight but he truly got what he deserved when you take everything into consideration. Same goes with Walter White. Breaking Bad and The Last of Us are incredibly goated because of them tho.

10:35 Imma add to your point using my dummy ADHD brain but I think they admire not only the attributes but the rise to power. Seeing a character that has been "forgotten by society" finally snap and take what they want no matter the cost is very appealing, primarily if written well. Look at the popularity of characters like Rick Sanchez or Erin Jaeger. I think many young men identify with these characters especially when the program shows their most vulnerable states. So once they show their rise to power by breaking all the barriers they previously thought were impossible to break, it really hits the viewer. Some of them being young men like myself will even try to adopt these same traits to change up our broken lives. But it's a slippery slope, after all these shows demonstrate that the road to hell is filled with "good" intentions. Unfortunately, some of us are so desperate for change that we don't see that, we glorify them without really thinking about how their actions are effecting others and sometimes that bleeds into real life. Idk... just long drawn out thought.

Kevin Garnett is my favorite player ever and Giannis is my second so to me they are 1 and 2 in either order. Objectively though neither of them are the best PF ever but I do think Giannis will be someday. That said I kind of hate how basketball fans have this incessant need to rate every player instead of just enjoying their greatness for what it is. Other sports fans do it but not even close to the degree basketball fans do it to. Giannis is great and KG was great as well, they are both going to be hall of fame players. That should be enough

bro the entire sport of basketball is about seeing whos better, whos the better team thats gonna win this game? Whos the better star player on each team? Why are you complaining that fans of something thats all about seeing who or whats better, are now comparing to see who are the better players lmao, we enjoy these guy's greatness and we wanna see how this guy's greatness matches up with another guy's greatness lmao

@@hatim289 no, its actually insanely close lmao. Giannis is a clear better scorer KG is a better defender and rebounder even though giannis is insanely good at both Theyre true shooting% is basically the same but kg has the advantage of being a better shooter, his game had a lot of decently long ranged midgame shots and he isnt easily punishable by a hack-a-shaq like giannis, kg at his best had alot of 80% free throw seasons, giannis could only dream of getting close to that. and we cant just ignore how giannis is playing in a way faster pace game compared to kg so that means he has more opportunity to get more stats

I mean Duncan was only listed as a PF but the man was a Center by all means. But if we're counting him as PF of course he's easily number one on that position. For the 2nd place, I don't know. It's between Dirk and KG for me. Giannis is on the way to pass them both but it's still too early. I mean come on, if Giannis was to retire today, would you rank him over Dirk and KG? I think a player needs to be at least in their 30's to be considered in rankings.

I said this about the Joker movie. People end up cheering for him and I'm like, HE'S LITERALLY THE BAD GUY. Yet because the movie is told through his perspective, people cheer for him. And the thing is, the movie makes no qualms about Joker being a bad person. It doesn't try to fool anyone in what it is. It tells a Hitler style origin story. Yet people still look at me like I'm the one who didn't get it every time I bring up how horrible Joker is in that movie and how we shouldn't cheer for him.

@@Sqeaky6969 You can say a bunch of stuff, it doesn’t make it true Duncan Chips (best teams)
 ’99 - Lockout season, with David Robinson even though declining was still the freakin admiral a top 50 All Time player and deep spurs team. That team tanked the year before they drafted Duncan because Robinson missed the 96-97 season only playing 6 games. The season before that, the last full Robinson season before drafting Duncan, that Spurs team went 59-23 and finished 2nd in the Wester conference. So Duncan began his career with a high caliber team.

 ’03’05’07 - Parker and Ginobili and deep spurs squad. Don’t let the low scoring output fool you, Parker was clutch and was cooking fools in his day.

 ’14 Ginobli Parker and Emerging Kawhi and another deep Spurs squad. KGs best pre Boston team the 03 Wolves featured the corpse of Sam Cassell, Latrell “choke my coach/not enough money to feed my family” Sprewell, and Wally Szerbiak. 

 Then there’s the Spurs got THE COACH (HOF), proven system, and history of developing players and finding talent with late picks making the playoffs 22 straight seasons. 

 The wolves on the other hand are notoriously one of the worst franchises (passed on Steph Curry TWICE for two other PGs, loads of other poor draft choices) making the playoffs a whopping 10 times in their 33 years history, 8 of which were carried on the back of KG. 

 So yea, that’s not just a bunch of stuff, those are facts.

Giannis is only the only one out of those other PFs who has multiple mvps and a championship. So the counting stats shouldn't actually matter. Clears dirk on everything but shooting, same with malone. Barkley never had close to the same level of success, also defense. KG is the only one with an argument but any gap KG can be perceived to have on defense, Giannis has a larger one offensively.
