Incredible video with some top tier editing and amazing editing to go along with it. I know this channel will have an explosion it just takes time keep putting in hard work though!
Great analysis. However, in your re-adjusted ranking, it's hard to rank KD at #3, because, while incredibly gifted offensively, he is neither an elite-level, nor a very good defender. Passable at best. 6th is appropriate. Given what James means to the Lakers, #5 might be too low. I'd swap James and Kawhi. Gotta see how Leonard does this upcoming season. And, I'd put Steph at #1, then then, the Joker. Jokic'd be #1, if the Nuggets had won a title in the last 4 years. Curry proved in 2021 how valuable he is to the Warriors. He makes them, generally, playoff-elite consistently.
I’m a bit higher on KD because he’s the best and most efficient scorer out of everyone while still being a passable defender who can still be very effective on the help side. I think the discourse around him would be a lot more favorable if they got past the Bucks. However, I can see him as low as 5 because he doesn’t bring the 2-way impact of Kawhi or Giannis or the playmaking of curry and Jokic. I think Lebron meaning so much to the lakers has more to do with the roster being so garbage than him actually impacting games on a higher level then the guys ahead of him, although I get putting him ahead of Kawhi given he’s missed so much time. This is the season I believe jokic will firmly put himself in top 3 talks given how much more solid the roster is around him. I can’t in good faith rank him so high with his lack of playoff success among guys who have all been the best players on a championship team, while still playing at that same level or even above those levels last season. I’m curious on where you have Giannis as well.
I have a high standard for the term superstar. To be a superstar, in my opinion, you need to do all of these things in the same season; 1. Make an All-NBA 1st team/1st-Defense team. 2. Get selected to the All Star team. 3. Win a championship and the MVP/DPoY/or Finals MVP If you did not do those things all in the same season… then you are not a superstar. As of now, the only active superstars are LeBron, Curry, Durant, Giannis, and Kawhi. Nobody else is on their level. If you can accomplish at least 2 of the 3, then you’re the next tier of star player.
Interesting…I think championships are so dependent on the supporting cast that it’s hard to evaluate players by that, but that’s a solid way to categorize players. To be considered the best of the best you gotta win it all as the #1 option at the end of the day
Dont care about super star label, all that matters to me is, he able to be a team player, do his job, and make his team mates into better and engage players
Skills wise though, KD fits much better alongside Lebron. He’s a much better off the catch shooter. I do love Jimmy’s mentality although I’m not sure if he would like having to defer to beon
Trae is my guy man it was hard for me to not include him. Luka was actually pretty good on defense in the 2nd half of the regular season. Him being so much bigger than Trae makes him less of a defensive liability, but he still gets targeted like he did in the warriors series. While I think Trae is a better playmaker and shooter, Luka is a better offensive player and has been so consistently great in the playoffs that he has to be here imo. Trae is right outside this tier to me, I need another year of him playing like he did last year, and a playoff bounce back and he’s up there easily.
Did you know trae young defensive rating is better than ja morant, and they dont even get on morant defense at all.. once again another hate for trae young, not saying you saying it, talking bout the trae haters
@@DFSSPACE1 It’s cuz he had that insane block one time. Availability heuristics, it’s a subconscious thing people do so I wouldn’t really call it hate.
This is how fraud these things are for jokic. I’m taking everyone on this list besides jimmy buckets over jokic. 1. Giannis 2. Steph 3. Embiid 4. Lebron 5. Luka 6. KD(you can switch with Luka) 7. Kawhi 8. Jokic 9. Jimmy
"onyeka okongwu wouldnt but thats a discussion for another day" 😂 this was so great, interesting to see jimmy buckets in the mix i'll have to rethink some of my hate lol
I do personally have Jokic at #1. I just think if you swapped him with Giannis, he would have a ring. When he team was healthy, he made it to the WCF, but lost to the eventual winners, the Lakers. This season he lost to gsw, the best team in the league. I do however at Giannis at a close 2nd. I just don't think Giannis would be able to carry the Nuggets like Jokic does.
yeah Giannis doesn’t have the same passing skills that would allow an offense to be ran through him the same way jokic. I do still think if you swapped them ID be confident Giannis would take that team to the playoffs. Both teams would be so fundamentally different though it’s hard to see how both of them would fare in the playoffs.
No the hell he would not. Giannis generational genetics and raw athleticism helped towards that championship something Jokic does not and will never have. Sure his basketball iq is one of the highest but that gets you but so far clearly. So much cope.
Harden is not a superstar anymore. If you take into account the last 5 years, then yes, but since he's not a superstar as of today there's no point in him being in this list.
that was my thinking it not including him on the list. I’m curious to see how he’ll grade out though, he’ll be in the part 2 when I talk about the players who just missed the list.
thank you for watching! that’s a good idea, the only concern I would have is outlier performances being too highly regarded, im thinking of building an algorithm that takes into account previous years performances to compensate for that
@@dlee4three11 makes sense I would just use like a three year window then because I feel like five year ranks regressing players higher than I think they should be
Paul George is on the fringe, if he would’ve for the clippers to the finals when kawhi went down he’d be a way tougher omission. He’s gonna be in part 2
Where would you rank him? I value postseason success so much I can’t put him any of the 5 guys who have all been the best players on a championship team and are all close to, if not playing at that same level they were when they eon
Curry family truly dominant ! Cool to see Steph and his son Kevin both make the list
Great video! You explained the statistics really well and the analysis was detailed and worded amazingly.
Thank you my guy I appreciate that feedback so much 🫡

Superstars are what most fans in the nba care about.
If I was the Lakers and I could get Jimmy Butler for KD, I’d do that in a heartbeat. He’s a culture driver and I think he’d do great with LBJ.
Skills wise though, KD fits much better alongside Lebron. He’s a much better off the catch shooter. I do love Jimmy’s mentality although I’m not sure if he would like having to defer to beon
@@dlee4three11 ahh meant to say AD not KD. Haha KD would work real well next to LBJ though, I’d do an AD for KD trade as well.
Can’t say luka without mentioning Trae young. Poor defense but superstar offense

What about Jayson Tatum or Damian Lillard
They’re in part 2, just missed the cut
I hope Harden will prove he deserves to be in this conversation still; I think he's gonna be really good this year.
Damn almost a perfect list
damn 😂what would you change?
This is how fraud these things are for jokic. I’m taking everyone on this list besides jimmy buckets over jokic.
1. Giannis
2. Steph
3. Embiid
4. Lebron
5. Luka
6. KD(you can switch with Luka)
7. Kawhi
8. Jokic
9. Jimmy
What has Embiid done to be above Bron and KD? Dude never got past the 2nd round, 0 MVPs, zero first team all nba.
Embiid definitely gotta get past the 2nd round before I put him higher than anyone besides Jimmy and Luka
Curious on your rationale for Embiid being 3rd
Jokic disrespect is nuts.
Yoooo I'm proud of ur progression keep going and also W vid.
Preciate it my guy🙏🏽
crazy underrated yt
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Nice vid but I would have put less emphasis on the past five years and more on this year so maybe like a 2 times multiplier instead, great job!

Great video

love this video man !
Thank you bro

Jokić at # 6 😂
Where do you have him?
LeBron has his own stat?
Nah 😂 it’s an acronym for Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off
@@dlee4three11 I'm going to assume that's good cause tbh I have no idea what you said XD
Bruh you cappin hard
Jokic at 6
Are you insane??
