      @@henny6566 I’d give him a high C+ honestly maybe B-, for a 1st overall pick his career has been pretty mediocre so far. Been in the league for 7-8 years already, only ONE all star selection and has made the playoffs ONCE. He was supposed to be so much better but for the majority of his career has looked like a very good rolpelayee to borderline all star at best.

      Evil Elf Thats fair but at the same time some draft classes are just weak af, and it just happens that way sometimes.
      Maybe if he got drafted in another year, he would have been a 9th or a 15th pick, then the whole narrative would be flipped.

    I think yao could have been A to -A or even B+. He did have a short career, but in that career I feel he established a great reputation as a big man. Plus even though he had such a short career, the fact he has the shortest time between his first game and enshrinement in the HOF is damaging to his longevity but a testament to how impactful he was in such a short stint in the league.

      Zion is probably a right grade at what he gave for Ant and Cade, and that's incomplete. He had one of the best seasons for a 20 year old in the league but it's just very hard to gauge that when he hasn't really played a lot after that. Incomplete even as a prospect in the league is what I'd best consider him for now because he's at a crossroads where he could throw his career away or get it together and dominate

    Jordan is the goat. Better defender, scorer, shooter, and better team leader than Lebron James. That’s not a knock on Lebron I think he is third behind Kareem on the all time list.

    • @rafikz77
      @rafikz77 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jordan a better shooter?
      idk about that , especially from 3
      Also , Jordan wasn’t even the best defender on his team, Pippen always took the toughest assignment, as Lebron has done in his career and James can guard multiple positions .
      Lebron is also a way better passer and has a higher basketball IQ

    • @collinspuckett1726
      @collinspuckett1726 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with most of that. Jordan won a DPOY though which Lebron or Scottie can’t say. But shooting yeah Jordan was better. Better free throws, mid ranger jumpers. Jordan if he played today would have developed a three point shot, and even in the 90’s he was breaking finals three point records. Lebron’s on basketball Mount Rushmore, but Jordan’s dominance of his era is matched only by Bill Russel.
