      @@m.1iano having everything in arsenal doesn't make you the the top 2 player. We can argue that every NBA player has, to a certain degree, everything in their arsenal. Shaq may shot a 3 pointer at some point in his career. To be top 2, yiu need to way more than just "having a full arsenal". There are many ways on doing it - you could be elite level in all skills or you could have unstoppable offense and poor defense, or you could have elite offense and elite defense, etc etc.

      @D2Kprime 5 лет назад +11

      So this conversation should be if Giannis leads the Bucks to the Finals then he surpasses Kevin Durant in the pecking-order. Pound-for-pound, until or unless Giannis develops a jump-shot I cannot put him over LeBron James. He has PUH-LENTY of time to develop one. Even his teammate Brook Lopez didn't start shooting 3s until two years ago. Now look at him. Droppin' vapor from damned-near half-court.
      LeBron obviously has a lot of Ls in the Finals so if LeBron doesn't win another one and Giannis wins three, even without the jump-shot adaptation we might have to revisit this conversation.

    PUT KD ON THE CAVS LAST YR I GUARANTEE YOU THEY DONT MAKE IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND! In the games Steph hasn’t played, the Warriors are barely .500. I’m sick of this narrative that just because Durant gets 2 Finals MVPs suddenly erases all his shortcomings in multiple playoff moments.

Marginally, but what player wouldnt when they join a much better team? The only real difference between then and now is that he joined an ALL-TIME record setting team! He hasnt really done anything different! So while he is still one of the best, he shouldnt be in the conversation as the best. If you didn't think he was the best then dont claim that sh1t now when hes NO DIFFERENT! He has a considerably amount of less pressure on him in comparison to other stars in the league. And to top it off....he isnt even the best on his team! Its Curry.

      tigera6 or maybe because SAS understand that opinions are fluid and memory is short. Max doesn’t have the time in air to think of every word he has said, and he definitely doesn’t have the time correct himself every time. Bottom line is this: if you can’t realize he is changing his opinion and admiring defeat without saying “I was wrong” you’re trying too hard to dislike the guy. His job is to be entertaining and to give his opinion. As for the basketball end of this. AD has missed many games this year and is on a team that doesn’t like him anymore and the feeling is mutual. Giannis has been having a crazy year and rightfully so is in the conversation for best in the league. Somethings you can’t predict. And KD has been a top 5 player and within the next year or so he’ll be back again, if only for a year or so. Just because he’s not exactly in the top 5 doesn’t mean moving to a stacked team as the 6th best player doesn’t make it more stacked. When he moved to GS they had 3 of the top 15 players in the league, 2 of the top 3 or 4 (at the time it was clearly lebron curry KD, maybe Kawhi). Clearly that makes it more stacked.

    1. KD is getting extra credit for joining a team where he cannot be double teamed.
    -This ignores the fact that KDs game was basically identical in the playoffs for the Thunder and he was giving teams basically the same kind of work
    2. KD cannot lead a team when Steph's not there.
    -Excuse me! Did we just forget about KD's whole MVP season, where he lead the team without Westbrook and his help running the offence came from a very young and inexperienced backcourt of Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb.

      King Phil even if it was the old team playing the Cavs they would’ve still won some rings it just would’ve been harder without KD. But the same would apply to KD if curry were the one to join the warriors after losing. Any team would go from going 7 games to sweeping the Cavs after adding another superstar. This is actually an awful stance your comment is probably best deleted. Your comment literally helped prove him right. KD gets too much credit. Fat L.
