MPJ kept bricking threes

He has the potential to be the greatest defender of all time while being the best offensive player in the league.

1. LeBron 2016

2. Jordan 1998

3. Shaq 2001

4. Tim Duncan 2003

5. Dirk 2011

Shout out Allen Iverson’s game 1 win vs the Lakers and KD’s gigantic toe on the line

Criteria - The athletes who could best use their physical abilities to win basketball games.

Here first names that come to mind for GOAT race:

Wilt Chamberlain

LeBron James

Michael Jordan

Shaquille O’Neil

Bill Russell

Zion Williamson

Vince Carter

Allen Iverson

Russell Westbrook

Julius Irving

I’ll make an example of Jericho Sims to show what I don’t want. He can touch the top of the back board but can’t get playing time. Why? Because he has no ability to apply that insane athleticism.

Some amount of skill is also indexed in this. If you are a hyper athletic guard, you need to be able to dribble the ball. It ranges from balance (lots of overlap) to hand-eye coordination (medium overlap) to a set jumper (no overlap).

“Third best player in the League” Tier —

Embiid, Steph, Luka, Durant

Next Tier —

Tatum, AD, LeBron, Butler

Offense : MJ, LeBron, Shaq

Defense : Draymond, KG, Bill Russell

Superstars - Nash, Stockton

The rest were just solid all stars or fell of due to injury too quickly.

JJJ, Giannis, or Mobley

This is why we will never get a team in Mexico City or Hawaii

Nuggets - Celtics - Mavericks - Spurs

Giannis is top a 10 athlete to ever play basketball

I want a healthy Lonzo Ball
