      facts!!! love it, would make some pretty cool unique centers of today's game too.
      Obvioulsy these aren't 1 to 1 comps cause Im a firm believer in you can't just plug dudes into diff eras but i can at least fathom.
      Cwebb - i think he's a point center in today's game like Sabonis/ Sengun / Bam
      KG - offense and defensive versatility just allows your team to do so much and blends seamless with any player, akin to Chet/Wemby/AD.
      Timmy D - Strange as it is to say.... I see a lot of Jokic with his IQ on both ends. Timmy would be the better defender, Jokic the better offensive guy.
      Dirk - This the toughest one cause Dirk still would be an absolute unicorn, and he's a better defender and athlete than he gets credit for tbh. I wanna give him Markennan or Kristaps, but honestly he might be a little Joker too, less playmaking and more traditional wing scoring moves....

      @@RRRRRRRRR33 raw +/- is fairly worthless because it doesn't account for how good or bad your teammates are. but adjusted +/- and regularized adjusted plus minus are probably the two best stats in basketball. Both favor Kevin Garnett over everyone of his era. He just had the unfortunate luck of being drafted to a bad team of which he was very loyal. Draymond is very underrated though and his very high +/- is tied to playing with Stephen Curry. When those two are on the court together, they are very elite and its not just because of Curry, Draymond is a great passer and probably the best defender of his era.

    KG isnt even close to Dirk. I watched all their battles in the 2000s, and KG got owned so bad. Could not stop Dirk at all. I dont blame him cause dirk is the best scoring big man of all time. KG had to flee to Boston to win.
