Im actually surprised wade is so high up.
I don't see a aingle reason why he should be above dirk, gainnis, or jokic but that's just me.
D wade was the reason I started watching basketball. Loved the era against the bulls, knicks, Celtics and pacers. Good times!!
Can we break down KD's career in the next episode.
I think a lot of younger nba fans are ignorant to his unfortunate luck and some didn't pay attention so they think he's had tons of opportunities to win chips but he really had only 2-3 years outside of Golden state
From harden leaving OKC, Westbrooks injury, KD's injury, ibaka's injury.
Kf getting injured in the 2019 playoffs.
Missing a year after that.
Then 2021 he had some issues and his two co stars had issues.
Then 2022 he had more injury issues. On top of kyrie's vax situation, harden bailing, Harrison injured ealry in the season, horrible coaching, playing 4 players under 6'2 in because simmons and harris were not available in the playoffs.
Even this year Cp3 went down, Ayton didn't play that last game, not much chemistry.
Im predicting the top 6 will be as such
1. Lebron
2. Duncan
3. Steph
4. Kobe
5. Shaq
6. Durant
Thats not my top 6 but thats how i think it will go knowing how the media views basketball
My top 6 is
1. Lebron
2. Kobe
3. Duncan
4. Shaq
5. Steph
6. Durant
Hey Jason huge fan I’ve always wondered how you felt about older players like Charles Barkley calling todays NBA ‘soft’ and nobody plays real defense anymore, I’m also curious about your thoughts on players from the 60s and 70s guys like Wilt Chamberlain and Pete Maravich ?
You can argue kG & the Celtics made Lebron quit too that’s how he got to Miami
KG was the best defensive player in the league. Period.
I’m from Milwaukee so Wade was the guy for me at Marquette that got me into basketball as a kid, he was so good and he doesn’t get enough respect from fans cause he fell off a cliff at the end of his career. Wade was the man, just a shame what he’s turned into
Anyone attached to Lebron gonna be top 10 with Jason.
Curry only player in NBA history to win 2 rings without another top 75 player. A unanimous MVP and won 3 of his rings against the self and media proclaimed King or GOAT.
That should easily place him number 1 or 2. Behind Kobe.
By far my favourite player. I am not even a Miami Heat fan, but his style was so smooth.
Jason can’t even say that Steph was the second best player on a championship team which he was. Your bias! 😭😭😭😭
Where does Klay Thompson fall on the all time SG list? In my opinion he’s the 1st or 2nd hardest player to rank all time (Him or Pippen imo)
If you want to know what feel for the game is watch nikola jokic, Larry Byrd, magic johnson, and lebron James play basketball
Loved your take on basketball being an art. There’s a beauty in the eye test that you just can’t explain, as it’s an intuition developed over years of playing and studying the game.
Do you think that it’s more difficult for a singular player in the modern NBA to amass as many accolades as players in the past (80’s/90’s) due to an increase in parity and league-wide talent?
If so, should that be factored into all-time debates (ie. Magic vs Steph)
People don't realize D Wade was battling through injuries most of his career. He still ended up arguably a top 5 shooting guard of all time.
As a heat fan I personally was expecting wade at 6 behind lebron, kobe, shaq, duncan and steph. I would put Wade above KD still but i'm not too mad.
With respect J. Vince is the most athletic player ever. It was more than just dunks. The guy was just unreal.
Dirk over KG is insane. You might has well have titled this list the best 25 supporting casts in NBA history. Dirk had many seasons where his supporting cast was much better than KGs and never won it all. KG only got a real shot at a title 2 times in his prime because of a scandal which lost them 3 first round picks, career ending injuries suffered by his supported cast, and 2 unexpected deaths. This winning bias that you continue to display is insane to me.
I hate how you also always refer to one player beating another. THIS ISNT GOLF OR TENNIS.
People can’t diminish what Dirk did in 2011. Competition wise that was one of the greatest championship runs ever
hmmm, i can only think of maybe 4 other players that could be better than DWade in the past 25 years. So i'm really interested to hear the last 6. For me he's top in the top 5. Lebron, Kobe, KD and Curry are the only players i can think of that could be better.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T INJURE HIS SHOULDER IN '07! that's one of the biggest what if for me! he was amazing that year! i think even better than '06!
If the remaining top five doesn’t go
1 Lebron
2 Duncan
3 Shaq
4 Curry
5 Kobe
I’ll be pretty disappointed. I’ll accept Curry over Shaq but imo it’s as I stated.
going through the comments these videos have pissed ALOT of people off 😂😂 the first video in this series started off with 20k views.. then the next batch 17-15k views.. then 12-14k views.. then down again to 10-12k views. i don’t hate the list i hate the bias.
i mean it’s the Top 25 over the last 25 years and there’s guys on here that HAVENT won, but because they are in the Finals they are on the list ? Jimmy Buckets (one of my favorite players) is on here because of 2 seasons. Where he didn’t win, didn’t win an MVP, wasn’t an All Star, but because of the Heat system, Boston choking and Giannis being hurt he’s on here ? Not to mention his Finals numbers. Look at them before you argue, he arguably choked away a Chip. He was not great at all against Denver. It’s clear bias. It’s his list i get it.. But when you post things like this you are subject to criticism 🤷🏾♂️
I’m sure he doesn’t care but i’m done with this, catch y’all during football ✌🏾
D rose was a great athlete as well before the injuries
All that wade has done pails in comparison to him chemically castrating his son. He is a sick individual.
