Who’s a player in todays game or the past 10 years that you think is comparable to James worthy or who could play in a system like the showtime lakers? Imo I can’t think of many but the few that come to mind are Zion, Randle, and maybe Paolo.

are people saying wiggins just based off of numbers? Worthy had so much better touch and focus and skill in his game, totally different athletes too

Shit, I'm fucking old cuz it's obvious no one here saw him play. Quickest first step ever. Could drive by anyone. A good midrange and an insanely strong finisher. Super underrated defender that was responsible for guarding the best perimeter player and that allowed Magic to play weak side box on d. Completely unselfish player that sacrificed completely fir the team. He honestly would hace been the GOAT on some franchises if he had played for them. No one plays like him. Giannis is a bigger, better version that has a similar style of play.. Not comparable in a lot of areas, but both are/were hard to stop once they headed to the paint.
