My list puts him just outside top 10, with an argument at 11th:

  1. Michael Jordan
  2. Kobe Bryant
  3. Dwyane Wade
  4. George Gervin
  5. James Harden
  6. Clyde Drexler
  7. Tracy McGrady
  8. Ray Allen
  9. Reggie Miller
  10. Vince Carter

Thoughts?

Klay isn't a role player. He's a 5x all-star. This is a guy who can give you 60 points, the same career high as Larry Bird. Name a role player who can score like that. This is a guy who has put up 40 or more points in over 15 games. He's not Kyle Korver or something.

On a nightly basis, he puts up 20 points, next to Steph Curry, who's scoring like 30. He's clearly a sidekick, but one who's a star in his own right. It's quite a lot like Scottie Pippen scoring next to MJ or like CJ McCollum scoring next to Dame.
