I don’t think you’re giving the shai argument enough attention tbh. He is on the same level scoring wise and his playmaking is improved to be at least on Steph’s level the shooting gravity is there but that isn’t the separator anymore especially when Shai is reaching borderline all defense levels on the other side of the ball.

Most improved player is a weird award because sometimes players always been good or showed potential for good but are on bad teams that nobody watches. When SGA won and now people are saying he’s becoming a star it’s like they never heard of this dude before last year, he always been killing it. Same with that cam Thomas argument, he seemed really good last year but got benched for dinwiddie for some reason but now that he’s gotten the minutes he’s just reaffirming what we all saw

3:24 I gotta agree with the take, honestly. There's probably a lot of guys who were in the league who were a quirk of history away from being the GOAT. Just look at linsanity, the stars aligned and a nobody took over the league. I'm sure there are guys in that top ~30 who, had things broken a little differently, could have been at the top with/instead of jordan and lebron

@za5528 7 ай бұрын

not a GOAT contender because he still wouldn't have touched MJ or LeBron, but if Kawhi had managed to stay 100% healthy I think he would have 1-2 more championships and Finals MVPs after 2019 and would have won at least one MVP between 2017 and the end of his career which would have had him be a top-10 all time ish player

@vaudou_ 7 ай бұрын

A perfect example is Hakeem. Won DPOY, MVP, Finals MVP all in the same season and won 2 titles without another allstar. With similar coaching and teammates as Jordan he probably has a similar career or even better. Got to the finals his second season after beating the Lakers and took Boston 6. There are plenty of players that have goat skill level but weren't as lucky and didn't have the marketing hype of Jordan and Lebron

what would the argument for Kareem to be the goat be? I genuinely don’t see it unless you just say “back in my day, we played real basketball, pure fundamentals… now they just jack up 3s every possession”. But even then, MJ played in a very similar era and was just better than Kareem

Sga has just as much if not more gravity than Steph, getting to the basket is one of the best ways to have gravity that’s why coaches teach you to drive and kick. Okc currently leads the league in open 3’s and a lot of it has to do with sga. Also he playing at an elite level on defense which should be the the deciding factor because the gap on defense is far larger than the gravity gap you’re trying to give curry the edge with.

Trae Young is shooting 38% from the field and 34% from 3 this season and yet he's taking 18 shots a game. He is a very inefficient player and a far worse shooter than he was years ago. The Hawks play better with Dejounte Murray and Bogdan Bogdanovic in the backcourt. They'd be better off unloading Trae's contract to the highest bidder.

LeBron is the most unskilled player to make it in the top 5, it's crazy to me. He's not elite at anything but being a physical freak (also steroids) . He can't score outside of 3feet from the basket, he's not a great rebounder for someone that big , his assists are mad overrated since half of them are turnovers (5K turnovers #1 in NBA history) . Defense isn't elite outside of a couple highlights of chase down blocks on dudes that were slowed down and/or smaller than LeBron. He doesn't block shots or steal the ball at an elite level either.
