I will always love Scalabrine putting to words what it’s like against to play against “fringe” pro-athletes. “I’m closer to Kobe, than you’re to me.” Playing pick up hockey with nhl goons and “heart” guys and they absolutely crapping on us. Yes never forget Jim Dowd is closer to Wayne Gretzky than I am to him(and he’s 55).
As a Nets fan I hugely appreciate you going with Kidd. People underrated the impact he had on our team, and unlike Dr. J, people know him best for his time on those early 2000s Nets teams
Not exactly. People mostly know him for winning with Dirk in Dallas or for Spilling a Drink to cheat a timeout. Nets Fans know him for his time on the Nets, but he was in Dallas longer and actually won there.
@@justinlast2lastharder749 He wasn't even the main guy on that Dallas team though. He was in his prime with the Nets, was the clear leader and best player, and played by far his best basketball there. I'm telling you, when most basketball fans think of him as a basketball player, his highlights from early 2000s are usually the first to come to mind. He literally retired two years after that Dallas title season. I'm not saying he didn't play any role in winning there, but he was a clear shell of himself then compared to what he was in Jersey
And the advanced metrics backed us making that deal. Demar was never as good without Kyle in TO while “Lowry + bench” lineups are still scary in MIAMI.

Man as Lithuanian growing up watching his highlights and hearing mad story’s about him makes it super sad that he never got to show how talented he truly was
@@jetfan925 Real talk? There isn't much here that a bunch of young Black millionaires want to do. We built new hotels, but this is still a very unsexy place 🤣😂😂
2012-2013 Lebron is probably the most dominant stretch of basketball ever played. He had a six game streak I believe where he shot 70% and also had a streak of 30pt games that year. Crazy efficient and dominant.
If he was selfish that year he could have easily averaged 35 on 50% shooting. Most impressive thing about Lebron that season was he was dominating like that in the flow of the offense. He wasn’t forcing it that regular season and was dominating so easily.
@@1227weaverb in all fairness Lebron was the offense so the offense was specifically made for him to dominate but it is true that his 2013 season was only beat by at most 2 other players, you could argue peak Jordan or Curry
I thought Barry was about to pull a sponsor card in us when he said “Did you see how fucking hairy Bob Petit was? He probably needed manscape, who is the sponsor of this video”
Interesting how Kareem is a top 3 player ever and wasn’t listed as the best player for either of his teams. (Didn’t mean it to be a smart ass I thought that was actually interesting)
Yeah I mean while Giannis will likely overtake him I would still have him as the Bucks GOAT but the Lakers just have so much history it's hard to crack that
Your comment about Duncan not being criticized as much probably comes down to 2 things. Him not being a bombastic player like most other greats, and how his titles were spaced out. Wins early, has a great 5 year stretch, then just as murmurs of him beginning to not be a credible finals threat he wins one more, then retires.
I think you should've went with Bob McAdoo for the Clippers if you're counting their history as the Buffalo Braves. Winning a league MVP while Kareem was such a dominant force speaks volumes regarding how good he was.
The limited advanced stats we have of Bill Russell’s era still point to him being one of the most valuable player the league has ever seen. (His defensive win shares and defensive rating on/off differential are absolutely ludicrous). He might actually underrated by most modern basketball fans.
Bill played with firefighters, Wilt played with plumbers, West played with farmers, Mikan played with milkmen and Oscar played with mailmen. Why is everyone always mixing up those?
@@heavyduty_No, his team wouldn’t have any without him. He may still have 6-7 chips with a completely different roster but the roster he played with, either the Cousy days or late career, couldn’t have made it to a Finals without him, let alone win a title.
@@heavyduty_ and led the league in defensive win shares 11 times, won MVP 5 times, set and re-set single season wins record, has the third highest career APG for a center and the highest in a season by anyone not Wilt or Jokic, is the greatest defensive player of all time, would’ve won 7 Finals MVP’s and at least 8 DPOY’s had the award existed and points isn’t everything
@@cristiandelvillar3121 he won mvp based on his team's record. All his accomplishments were because of his team and coach. His assists were high because the playstyle in the 50-60 was very fast paced. Now about his defense, he might be a top 5 defenders but we dont care about defense cuz if we did, players like pippen, mutombo and rodman would be in the top 10 all time.
Dirk taking the 2014 Spurs to 7 games is considered "coasting by" but LeMickey getting blown out by them in 5 with the largest margin of victory for any finals series ever with another superstar on his team is somehow considered ok.
@@LoganArnold18 and in between these two events, what happened? Lebron and the heat won back to back, twice as many championships as Dirks career. I’m not trying to dog on Dirk but you’re comparisons are outlandish. Dirk absolutely coasted to retirement after his ring and that’s fine. They haven’t made it out of the first round since that ring.
For the Suns I’d put Charles Barkley over Steve Nash because he was a better individual player and was able to take his team to the finals. Nash’s MVPs were more controversial imo and that’s saying something because Chuck won his over the GOAT.
@@SMD1999 If Chuck player during LeBron’s time he would’ve racked up multiple MVPs and if the big three Heat couldn’t beat the Mavs in 2011 they fasho losing to the 93’ Suns.
People love to virtue signal and dunk on Karl Malone as if he's completely ignored his racy past. He's made amends with the girl he got pregnant and has a good relationship with the son they had. What he did was super shitty, but I think we've all heard enough of it
Honorable mention for the Pistons with Chauncey “Mr. Big Shot” Billups and Ben “Big Ben” Wallace. Wallace being in my opinion the greatest undrafted player in NBA history. It’s a crime he’s not in the hall of fame with his ring and 4 DPY’s.
@@TryPuttingItInRice well Booker is still 25 and in his 7th season there so would be tough for CP3 to catch him since they're on the same team but he could def be top 3...
Isiah Thomas really is a hell of a case. The analytics and the eye test are both lying in his case. Players with similar numbers don't erupt with legendary performances the way Zeke did, and players who look that good doing it usually have better numbers. Personally, I prefer guys who are consistently good to guys who are occasionally incredible, but when Zeke did get it going he was as good as it got.
Zeke sacrificed his stats for his team, being a true leader, which has no stat attached to that. Isiah could have had out-of-this-world stats if he wanted to, but he chose 'chips over stats.
@@RicardoAGuitar Probably because their teams asked or required them to do so in order to win. Look at someone like Bill Russell's stats. They are not world-beating stats, yet, he knew what he had to do to win 11 titles. Someone like Jordan had to score tons in order for them to win, so the team built around that.
So Clyde Drexler, Magic Johnson, Gary Peyton, Shawn Kemp, Karl Malone, and John Stockton are “plumbers”. Ok buddy, could you sound more desperate for ammo to justify some weak argument in favor of Lebron? Here’s a couple things to consider: Jordan played against REAL defense. By the time Lebron came along half the guys in the NBA weren’t even trying to D up and there wasn’t even so much as hand-checking allowed. Oh, and no one was joining up with manufactured super teams to win rings like your boy.
Clyde Drexler Gary Payton Shawn Kemp Karl Malone John Stockton Charles Barkley Hakeem Olajuwon Isiah Thomas Patrick Ewing David Robinson Shaquille O’Neal
Appreciate you picking Lowry for the Raptors. American media members love to say that Kawhi or Carter are the best Raptors ever, but the fans know it’s Lowry at the top.
Definitely, he had a stretch where he was the second best player in the NBA after Lebron, injuries curtailed so much of his career. The fact he got left off the NBA 75 during the ASG was laughable
I dont wanna be that guy, but if Goku played in the NBA he would lose to Vegeta for not understanding the rules. Shortly after tho, Vegeta would get evicted
Nice video. I feel you should of seperated the Sonics and Thunder : For the Sonics I feel it should of been Sickma or Peyton. I do respect you and this well done video though.
4:26 Isaiah Thomas traded offensive stats for championships when Detroit transitioned from being an offense-first to a defense-first team. The Piston’s should have one three championships, but could have won four in a row. They were about to beat the Lakers in game six, then Isaiah sprained his ankle. They were also on their way to winning the final the previous year against the Celtics when Bird stole Thomas’s inbound pass in the final seconds of the game. The Pistons were playing against the Bird’s Celtics, Magic+Kareem’s Lakers, and MJ’s Bulls and still managed to win two championships. The 1987-88 Pistons who lost to the Lakers were better than the best of the Chicago Bulls teams.
To me Shaq > Howard for the Magic because he faced much tougher comp. Shaq beat MJ when Dwight couldn’t beat Kobe and Dwight was the only elite center in the late 2010’s other than Tim Duncan while Shaq had to face guys like Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Mourning, Mutombo, Divac, Smits, and the list goes on.
Howard had to play against lebron and make a wish kids in 09 when they barely got past a Garnett less Boston. Should’ve won against the cavs in 4 considering he had a really good team
@@dbabu51 Yes, he did beat LeBron, but that doesn’t take away the difference in the center comp. It was between Dwight and Andrew Bynum in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s and don’t get me wrong, Bynum was good, but he isn’t even in the same universe as at least 5 of the centers Shaq had to face in the mid-late 90’s.
@@dbabu51 Definitely. If Jokic wins another MVP he can get inside the top 10 centers ever and if Embiid wins a ring or gets some MVPs he can get there too.
good morning mr mccockiner. i cant help but notice you saying "now all curry needs is to win a finals mvp against a healthy finals opponent" and seeing how he did just that, what does that mean now?

I wasn’t aware that Charles Barkley played during lebron’s time
@@SMD1999 If Chuck player during LeBron’s time he would’ve racked up multiple MVPs and if the big three Heat couldn’t beat the Mavs in 2011 they fasho losing to the 93’ Suns.
@@henrypope4225 yeah I don't know about that.
Thank you for doing this for me Barry, you’re the real MVP
To be fair… I think Jordan may have actually been a Demigod. For around a decade, from the late eighties to the late nineties.
barry stay supplying us with goat content
People love to virtue signal and dunk on Karl Malone as if he's completely ignored his racy past. He's made amends with the girl he got pregnant and has a good relationship with the son they had. What he did was super shitty, but I think we've all heard enough of it
Fr though
but was even the best player on his team?
Honorable mention for the Pistons with Chauncey “Mr. Big Shot” Billups and Ben “Big Ben” Wallace. Wallace being in my opinion the greatest undrafted player in NBA history. It’s a crime he’s not in the hall of fame with his ring and 4 DPY’s.
He is in the Hall of Fame
Ben is actually the only undrafted Hall of Famer ever
"Plumbers and Community College students"? Charles Barkley thinks you're a knucklehead Barry
CP3 definitely best Clipper and Pelican/Hornet for sure as of now.
@@TryPuttingItInRice Top 3 is probably CP3, Nash, and then Barkley I guess
Brandon Ingram is doing good, maybe CJ so maybe CP3 will have some competition
@@TryPuttingItInRice well Booker is still 25 and in his 7th season there so would be tough for CP3 to catch him since they're on the same team but he could def be top 3...
AD's tenure was longer and he lead them to the same level of playoff success.
@@benjaminan1183 it's a toss up between the two of them.
Good video. It’d be cool to see an all-star team build video for each conference, team, or decade, etc.
“Now all Steph needs to do is win finals mvp against a healthy opponent without Kevin Durant on his side”
He proceeded to do exactly that
Man, no one ever gives Stockton any love.
Utah and Karl Malone made his legendary career look worthless . If he's teamed up with Barkley or Ewing . They would have won a ring
Isiah Thomas really is a hell of a case. The analytics and the eye test are both lying in his case. Players with similar numbers don't erupt with legendary performances the way Zeke did, and players who look that good doing it usually have better numbers. Personally, I prefer guys who are consistently good to guys who are occasionally incredible, but when Zeke did get it going he was as good as it got.
Zeke sacrificed his stats for his team, being a true leader, which has no stat attached to that. Isiah could have had out-of-this-world stats if he wanted to, but he chose 'chips over stats.
@@HllywoodNova Then why do lots of guys with much better stats have as many or more rings?
@@RicardoAGuitar Probably because their teams asked or required them to do so in order to win. Look at someone like Bill Russell's stats. They are not world-beating stats, yet, he knew what he had to do to win 11 titles. Someone like Jordan had to score tons in order for them to win, so the team built around that.
@@RicardoAGuitar Then you have stat padders who didn't win shit, because they weren't true leaders.
@@HllywoodNova But I didn't bring those guys up; I brought up the guys with stats and rings
I still think Bob McAdoo is better than CP3 for the clippers because he was their only mvp and had less talent around him than cp3.
Barry on that upload grind, love the content barry
Gilbert “Bring a Gun to The” Arenas
As a Grizz fan who watched Gasol growing up it's close. Ja is the most talented player we have ever had, he will overtake Gasol soon
It’s crazy how everyone talks shit about bill because of era but yet they praise wilt
So Clyde Drexler, Magic Johnson, Gary Peyton, Shawn Kemp, Karl Malone, and John Stockton are “plumbers”. Ok buddy, could you sound more desperate for ammo to justify some weak argument in favor of Lebron? Here’s a couple things to consider: Jordan played against REAL defense. By the time Lebron came along half the guys in the NBA weren’t even trying to D up and there wasn’t even so much as hand-checking allowed. Oh, and no one was joining up with manufactured super teams to win rings like your boy.
I hate Lebron James and his fanboys.
Don’t forget Chuck and Hakeem, throw in Robinson, Ewing, and Shaq
Clyde Drexler
Gary Payton
Shawn Kemp
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Charles Barkley
Hakeem Olajuwon
Isiah Thomas
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson
Shaquille O’Neal
Love your vids. Can you try out some nhl videos. I think your style be so much fun to see there
Appreciate you picking Lowry for the Raptors. American media members love to say that Kawhi or Carter are the best Raptors ever, but the fans know it’s Lowry at the top.
Its the reach around comment about the greek freak that had me laughing hard .. you got a new fan here !!
Dude i fucking love your videos your humour makes me crease 😂
*correction the mafia stopped the Suns from making a finals
This man is just amazing
barry actually knows ball it’s crazy.
Bradys back
“All Steph curry needs now is to win finals mvp without kevin durant”
Lol
Z-bo the greatest Grizzly of all time. So underrated his whole career
You are correct sir
16:25 “plus he has a really thick ass…wow” 🤣 too funny
I still can’t believe the hornets traded Alonzo
Is Dwight Howard the most disrespected HOF player ever?
Definitely, he had a stretch where he was the second best player in the NBA after Lebron, injuries curtailed so much of his career. The fact he got left off the NBA 75 during the ASG was laughable
Nah that's definitely Russell Westbrook, but he deserves the disrespect.
Dwight, Russ, Nash and probably Mailman.
@@eeeee4686 To be fair Malone has a reason
@@kanone_69 a reason completely outside of basketball
it feels weird yet satisfying to hear barry complement players
So uhhh about that Brady situation
Yo Barry, I know you hate running backs but can you make a top 15 running backs of all time video?
The blazers are possibly the most unluckily franchise
Warriors is Wilt Chamberlain but it’s close
Not anymore though 🙃
Imagine is Jason Kidd had been a better scorer. Would’ve been terrifying.
Don't ever tell an OKC fan that kd was their best player they'll swear by Russ until death
I dont wanna be that guy, but if Goku played in the NBA he would lose to Vegeta for not understanding the rules. Shortly after tho, Vegeta would get evicted
Evicted...
@@poly_g6068 is that not what u call being executed with a sledgehammer
"Now all he has to do is win a finals mvp against a healthy finals opponent without Kevin Durant on his team"
i am so happy i found out about this channel
I fucking lost it at "Manboobs Harden" 🤣
The warriors comment aged so well
5:39 He just did now...
Ur the goat Barry love ya
Nice video. I feel you should of seperated the Sonics and Thunder : For the Sonics I feel it should of been Sickma or Peyton. I do respect you and this well done video though.
Lebron would have 7 rings if Kyrie and Kevin didn’t get hurt, and Kd didn’t join the warriors like a pus
he’d be 7-3 in the finals, not a stan but I just noticed how that would of changed the goat convo forever
I think Wilt was the best player of Golden State history
Yes
Statistically he was. It’s hard to argue with three championships and five finals appearances though.
W for putting Lowry
4:26 Isaiah Thomas traded offensive stats for championships when Detroit transitioned from being an offense-first to a defense-first team.
The Piston’s should have one three championships, but could have won four in a row. They were about to beat the Lakers in game six, then Isaiah sprained his ankle. They were also on their way to winning the final the previous year against the Celtics when Bird stole Thomas’s inbound pass in the final seconds of the game.
The Pistons were playing against the Bird’s Celtics, Magic+Kareem’s Lakers, and MJ’s Bulls and still managed to win two championships. The 1987-88 Pistons who lost to the Lakers were better than the best of the Chicago Bulls teams.
Came to this video as a nuggets fan just waiting, good call
Based on my observations, it seems like most people hate Lebron because of his activism.
Thunder Fan: ALL I FEEL IS PAIN
You will be aright y’all got all of them picks.
@@DCJ9 Yeah, and Shai is fucking amazing.
Was a painful pill to swallow though.
Barry you should do "Is he a Hall of Famer" but for NBA players‼️
@@MikeBNumba6 exactly
@@MikeBNumba6 I THINK HE SHOULD DO THE VIDEO BUT BY A HIGHER LEVEL
To me Shaq > Howard for the Magic because he faced much tougher comp. Shaq beat MJ when Dwight couldn’t beat Kobe and Dwight was the only elite center in the late 2010’s other than Tim Duncan while Shaq had to face guys like Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Mourning, Mutombo, Divac, Smits, and the list goes on.
Howard had to play against lebron and make a wish kids in 09 when they barely got past a Garnett less Boston. Should’ve won against the cavs in 4 considering he had a really good team
@@dbabu51 Yes, he did beat LeBron, but that doesn’t take away the difference in the center comp. It was between Dwight and Andrew Bynum in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s and don’t get me wrong, Bynum was good, but he isn’t even in the same universe as at least 5 of the centers Shaq had to face in the mid-late 90’s.
@@henrypope4225 yeah I know the centers sucked from then to now but centers are making a resurgence
@@dbabu51 Definitely. If Jokic wins another MVP he can get inside the top 10 centers ever and if Embiid wins a ring or gets some MVPs he can get there too.
@@henrypope4225 he won’t win a ring with this shitty Philly team, and he’s kind of a choker so not hopeful.
Barry... I'm sorry, our collective sacrifices to the football gods for Brady's retirement weren't enough
Solid list. Would have Kobe above magic, but still understandible
Kevin Durant best nets player
He has more trade requests then playoff seasons series wins
BRADY BACK LOL
Subbed for the memes, stayed for the great analysis
good morning mr mccockiner. i cant help but notice you saying "now all curry needs is to win a finals mvp against a healthy finals opponent" and seeing how he did just that, what does that mean now?
