I love chris paul, but i agree based on his criteria, chis shouldn't make the list,
The Paul Pierce/Kobe comparisons on Kobe’s birthday is crazy haha
Ray Allen better be on this list
Im really surprised about Jason's list. For a guy who is awesome at breaking down the game Im shocked he is super reliant on narratives and moments.
Tony P. was great as part of a really tight team. Not like Steph but what a great team player. Tim was the main guy imo throughout, but Manu and Tony were so special together and with Tim. I love team ball, and the Spurs were it.
I definitely don’t understand Gasol on this list. He was great on his team and helped them win, but I never thought of him as a top player in the league.
Has to be Iverson and Nash
my take for the remaining two ringless players on your list: Charles Barkley and A.I.
I dont like the list but Jasons criteria was Championships, Finals Runs, MVPs as the main points. So its understandable on his list. I do think he is rating #2's/3's on championship teams a little too high but they do fit most of his criteria.
Chauncey over Paul pierce is wild!!!!
Nash for sure , I would go for Yao Ming for the 2nd one
Agree with Jason. Cp3 is overrated. Never won a ring with abundant talent around him. Not athletic, not deadly from 3.
Carmelo and AI
D Rose? I'm blanking on ppl who could make list without chips. Dame dolla?
Normally love the content but i will be honest… I cant in good faith watch the list moving forward. Which is sad cuz i need nba content now 😢
Vince Carter wasn’t on his last list right? It’s gotta be VC and Steve Nash as the two non champs still on this list. Either that, or replace one of them with AI
Still haunts me that pau gasol traveled on that double pump that you’re referring to
I bet Steve Nash and Allen Iverson are the 2 non-NBA champions on the list
Bruh Westbrook is NOT better than cp3
AI and Nash
Jimmy butler is the Paul Pierce of this era 23:06 That’s facts. Ugh I despise agreeing with you
I would love to sit down and talk with you bro bro I’m tryna get into this field of work and love how you break the game down
My guess is melo and Steve mash
The two stars you have above people who have won championships but have not won any themselves but instead contribute to deservingness to be on your list structuralized by YOUR CRITERIA are Allen Iverson and Derrick Rose, I would hope.
if Lebron dindn't step on Tony foot during the last second shot in 2013 finals I think Tony can make the shot
Hey Jason, don't even bother reading these comments. These people can't hear straight. You've made the criteria clear like 50 times and they're still in here crying. Great work on this and the last list!
I love your show, Jason, and feel your personality through the screen. You make me love the game so much more, BUT why do you hold the championship with so much pedigree? If you take your favorite player, Lebron, and put him in any of the past or present championship winners, do you not think he can be an asset to that team in any faucet of the game? I ask this question because I do not give a crap about who wins a championship, but I do respect your opinion, and because I do value your opinion, I would love to hear your two cents on this discussion. You put any greats on any of the championship rosters from any year, and they will contribute, so whether or not you win a championship is not up to the individual player. It's up to the team that is surrounded by him, right?
I know we value offense but isn’t Ben Wallace the best player on those Pistons teams? Just a thought…
Wait billups over cp3?!!!! Yo jason i love tou but you are out of control with this list.
My guess is TMac and James Harden
Give CP3 Tim Duncan and pop
I like how he’s not just rewarding regular season players. He’s recognizing players that have performed when it mattered like in the post season and consistently.
To be honest I thought embiid is way to high. Until he gets out of the 2nd round I don’t think he can be better than CP3.
I like how you mentioned CP3 was the best PNR ball handler on his era along with being a top 5 point of attack defender. Go watch game 4 vs OKC in 2014 where he was the primary defender on KEVIN DURANT.
For all the people who are somehow still triggered about cp3 even after listening to Jason's explanation. If jason was doing his list based on talent/ability and not a specific list of achievements then cp3 would be on here
I think Jason’s top 5 is sum like
1. Bron
2. Steph
3. Duncan
4. Shaq
5. Kobe
The what if for Gasol is if the NBA doesn’t veto the Chris Paul trade
"a lot of people dont remember this", bruh I still have PTSD from that year. KG injured his knee vs Utah and was never the same, was so sure they were gonna repeat otherwise.
I'm sorry but I'm not taking Chauncey over TP and I'm definitely not taking him over the truth
Most of the people having problems with your list only care about stats and big games. Cause their favorite players could never win in the important games. Especially with lists like this, rings are the biggest factors. Cause that means those guys rose to the occasion and played big under pressure. THATS WHAT MATTERS AND THAT SEPARATES GUYS
