This is definitely a list worth revisiting every 3-5 years
Yearly
@@jamalrobinson8321 Yearly is too often
Now, this is spitting. Every 10 years there should be around 3 remakes of this.
for real 3 years is perfect
3 is crazy every 4 minimum tho
The way he said "The gap between LeBron and Jordan is smaller than the gap between LeBron and everyone else." really puts it into perspective how great they both are.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@jbailey690 what’s funny about that?
Kobe is in that convo with Jordan and LeBron
@Sween Majority of players say Kareem was better?? 🤷
AI, TMac, Timmy, Shaq, Hakeem, Vince, MJ, Bird, Magic, Steph, KD, Dirk, Barkley, KG, Ray, Wade etc all take Kobe over Bron??
What ISN'T funny about that nonsense??
@@flightjam jordan and mj 😭
Jokic will definitely be added here in the next pyramid update.
I would say he’s tier 4 for now after his championship run
Giannis and jokic will be in tier 3 in the next one or two updates
@@Anzarranzanot tier 3 yet tier 4
@@traytyler9951 definitely tier 3 at this point, if the next update is in 2 years from now, tier 3 isn't even a hot take
That was a month a few months ago before all this happens not present day remember that
Might have to add Jokic to the list after this last playoff run and recent Championship 🏆 dude was unreal
i think jokic over kawhi. 2 mvps, and his playoff run was more impressive than toronto. Also he had no all stars like kawhi did with the spurs.
We'll see what else he can do in the next couple of years...But Jokic definitely deserves to be in the pyramid.
@@sonny4978that’s wild tbh. maybe after another ring and if he stays as consistent as he is, he prob will overtake kawhi, but for now he just doesn’t have as much longevity as kawhi.
Cut the jokes man. Joker getting catapult to the upper echelon of all time great is based off what. One year. The dude took 4 years to make a real impact in his career. He only became all star caliber for the last 5 years.
Let wait for the next 3 to 5 years to unfold before we have this discussion. Not given the soft rules, handcuffing defense, analytics basketball era. Give great assistance to good offensive players today. He not only need to match Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem,Bird resume but blow them out the waters. Considerig the advantages he has
Jokic is top 20 already
Honestly, I didn't realize how high I was on Giannis until you showed me the stats in retrospect. Giannis having this much offensive and defensive pressure and efficiency in this era is insane to think about. Rightfully deserved!
His defense is overrated
@@l9ikjam ur one of those people who love to argue because you like disagreement😂😂😂. He is a great defender, because he is hard to shoot over and is a great help defender
@@user-lt1zz3zi4m Lol.. He's not wrong. Top tier defensive player would've tried to guard Kd especially when he's the only star left on the opponent team. Giannis let Tucker to guard him even on the last possession that would've cost his team a series against an injury-depleted Nets team. Glad that the Lady Luck was upon him that night that Kd happened not to hit a 3 or else it would be a downright embarrassment for Giannis to lose that series.
@@judyclarkson5887 everyone keeps saying that if Kd had kyrie and healthy harden he would beat giannis …. If you switched teams and gave Gianni’s a healthy harden and Kyrie he would’ve won as well. Also Giannis didn’t want to tire out offensively, that’s why he didn’t guard Kd. This worked obviously because he dropped 40 points in a game 7
@@judyclarkson5887 you wanted Giannis to guard one of the most offensively talented player of all time while also running the entire offense at the same time? Brother, not even MJ did that
luka definitely going to be on this in a few years. dude is a monster
nah he will have a james harden esque career if he doesnt fix that ego
@@swake0312 lol wtf? yall just hating lol. luka is going to be an all time great.
@@swake0312 if you saw how bad his team is… you would know that he’s too generous to them
@@ajako19 Lol everybody has just seen that stupid Harden comparison and goes around parroting it. Don’t worry about people speaking this nonsense, Luka is a bonafide superstar and will win multiple rings.
@@izzy031096 Mavs better get their shit together then or Luka will leave to a better team. Top 30 is already crowded as we can all see. Only 9 guys up there won 1 ring or none at all so Luka will definitely need at least 2 to even be considered.
I respect this pyramid. The only player I have issues with being too low is Tim Duncan.
Completely agree. Seriously putting him in tier 3 is crazy. Tier 2 is more correct
I swear his career accolades and accomplishments are nearly identical to Kobe
Eh, I feel like Hakeem and Shaq are better tbh and when you actually look at it him and KG did similar stuff at similar levels on the court for a long time so having them 2 tiers apart is just criminal.
@@samcremin1486 Timmy has 5 rings 😂 Hakeem only won cause Jordan retired for 2 years if we’re being honest . Shaq never won shit without another superstar on his team
@@dro2drippy781Hakeem had worse teammates and Duncan never won in a year he had to deal with a dynasty either, in the 94 and 95 seasons he didn’t have a teammate selected for the all star game.
If we actually break down their games Hakeem is a comparable if not better rim protector, much better perimeter defender, is a better post scorer and a similar passer. Duncan’s only advantage is his pretty significantly better longevity so if you value that highly then he has a decent argument but he’s not a full tier above Hakeem.
Shaq was the better player during the three peat and he undoubtedly peaked higher, in my eyes it just didn’t work out for him in other years but he was probably the best in the world for most of his career.
Watching this during the Finals where Jokic has 10 triple doubles in the playoffs and just went 32 21 and 10 💪
You make some of the most well written, researched, and edited content on TH-cam. Consistently Top-Tier content, I look forward to every video you drop

i love seeing dirk being moved up. definitely an extremely underated player
Yeah he’s underrated but wade is definitely better
I feel like Wade is definitely better but he does value peak alot
Especially when you factor in his loyalty and not chasing superteams like almost everybody else.
Dirk is a top 3 PF of all time
@@kofiowusu1273 nah lmao he’s not
I'd love to see a G.O.A.T Pyramid for those who never won a chip. Would make for some interesting debates. I think peak McGrady is highly underrated from that perspective.
For me based on eye test and pure skill, prime D Rose was the greatest player to not win a chip.
John Stockton
Steve Nash babyyyy let’s goooo
@@Zach-eb6zknah harden, malone, iverson, hell even barkley had an better peak than drose (not to mention that a 4 year prime is pathetically sort)
Teams win “a chip”; not a player!
You might want to keep that in mind!
Mad respect for kawhi being in it. If u look at numbers he has no case. But if u watched kawhi play u would know he was the only guy in the Lebron era that genuinely felt comparable in terms of changing an entire teams hope
Luka and Jokic definitely making this list next time it's looked at. How can they not
Yup
Accolades
Just give Luka time, he has a decade to perform
@@KurinKato1 2021 mvp, 2022mvp? what are these if not accolades
I feel like all time russ is better than Jokic all time
I swear you're one of very few people that can make a tier list without being attacked on where you put them.
Cuz he's very rational
Naw bro. This list was garbage as soon as I didn't see the real G.O.A.T on it.... Austin Reaves
Durant on tier 3 is insane, he won rings with the greatest team ever, that won without him. Durant is on a tier with Malone and Stockton, very good player, defo top 30 of all time, but won no legit rings as far as legit rings go unfortunately.
Idk man I wouldn’t put kawhi in the pyramid at all and like the guy said above KD is way too high as well
Also Duncan not being on tier 2 is basketball blasphemy...
Duncan not in tier two is wild lmao
Honestly its more like Kobe shouldn't be over Duncan, whatever tier. It's so odd, and the first thing I notice. People seem to be waking up to this recently..... not getting taken well by the LAL Fans and the casuals understandably.
him and b russ should be switched
Kobe is the single most overrated player of all time
@@froyocrew Kobe is an all time great player, there is no doubt about that. But that said, Kobe is insanely overrated, he is easily the most overrated player of all time.
@@jacoblee5796Go cry about it
Man Tim Duncan…underrated by the masses. Has a near identical resume to Kobe yet constantly ranks multiple spots lower. There aren’t 9 players “GREATER” than him all time.
So true, and I think that's because he wasn't as marketable as the other dudes. Spurs were the most consistent winning team in the league throughout Duncan's career.
Agreed, he should definitely be in tier 2
@@jan279 yup exactly. Flash and self promotion influence people’s opinions on the production for some reason.
@@KFire facts
KG even more underrated, comparable to Duncan in nearly every aspect but he had terrible teammates and bad injury luck so he doesn’t even make top 10 on most lists and top 20 on some.
So glad to see Jxmmy give Dr. J his flowers. He gets overlooked a lot because he played in the 70’s and early 80’s.
someone will always get overlooked.
Also, ABA records are not valued enough in the majority of these lists. Jxmy does a great job getting it put in perspective
Giannis is all time great. No one can take that finals performance away from him. The best of the best.
In a couple years he will be best PF of all time, but so far Tim Duncan is the GOAT of the PFs imo.
@@mikeoath9541 LUIS SCOLA >>> DUNCAN. FACTS ARE FACTS. U CANT SPEAK HERE TILL DUNCAN WIN AGAINST SCOLA
@@mikeoath9541 for sure timmy d is the goat rn
hell end up tier 2 at least when its all said and done
@@MichaelM-yf5or maybe. I’d say more likely he’ll end up top 10
Ain't no way Durant in the same tier as Shaq and Timmy 😂
It should be Dr J in that tier, not Durant
There are some high quality content videos comparing Lebron and Jordan for the GOAT and they clearly show MJ is by far. I recommend them.
can’t wait to see luka cracking this list from the ground up
Well, he has a lot of road to travel lol
At the end of this season
Doncic:
4x NBA All Star
4x NBA First Team
Now he just needs MVPs, FMVPs, Defensive Team appearances
Only misfortune can detract Luka from his path to basketball greatness. The man is a potential top 10 player all time.
@@kylemathis1562 chips
@@kylemathis1562 atleast 6 all nba and all star selections, atleast 1 chip, then we can consider it.
At first I was confused when DWade was demoted, trying desperately to remember any shooting guards better, as I always had Jordan 1, Kobe 2, and Wade 3, then I saw that there were only three shooting guards on the list and it all made sense.
Still though wade shouldn't be demoted, other than longevity which he just said he appreciated peek more, there no reason to have dirk Over wade.
If the majority of people really believe dirk is better than wade, dirk is officially overrated
@@randomperson2540 I mean dirk lead his team to better post season success than wade did as a first option. Remember wade never came out of the first round after the 2006 finals.
Add on to the fact that the 2000's western conf. Is probably the hardest conf. In nba history and that's why you'd pick dirk over wade
Theres AI as well so 4, but the rest I absolutely agree with
@@nbassasin8092 AI didn't make it he was just a mention
@@xenonite2172 but dirk had a way better team than wade, after 06 Shaq would suffer an injury and after that would leave.
There was nobody on that roster other than wade he honestly had one the worse rosters in the league.
People don't talk about how dirk won 67 games and got swept jn the first round and played horrible and would never make a western finals until 2011.
Dirk was saved by his 2011, which even in that finals wade out performed him
Duncan is tier 2 , him and Kobe had similar careers and he’s on 3 while Kobe stays in 2 . They definitely both left their mark . Duncan deserves a little more love . Magic could be a little lower too imo
Agree. Kobe definitely overrated compared to Duncan and others. Kobe benefited more from great teammates (Shaq in particular) than a lot of the guys in the pyramid.
Swap Kobe and Timmy
Agree that Kobe is overrated but then when you hear the respect that other NBA players have for him even before he died makes me think I’m wrong…. Would have Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan over Kobe….
Putting KD in the same tier as Curry is wild
Agreed
Is it? Steph is considered bottom end of the top 10 all time, KD is just outside the top 10, normally between 12th and 15th so there's really not a lot of players between them
True. Simply because KD has shown he's not a winner and a leader. He had to join an already winning franchise to get his chips. 2023 playoffs confirm.
@@amosstarkey485 Ok . . . so KD 12-15 let's revisit that. So in no order the top 11 should be: MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Wilt, Shaq, Larry Bird, and Steph. Ok so number 12 has to be KD right . . . well no cuz I'm not putting KD over Hakeem, ok so 13 right??? wrong again if you actually look at tier 4 there are a couple of guys there most if not all people should have over KD. Dr. J, D-Wade, and Zeke Isiah Thomas was also better than KD. Which by my math means he should be at best 16th best player and I'm not about to let you disrespect the Logo Jerry West like that. Soooooo in reality KD's about the 17th best player of all time (as of us typing about this). Because Giannis isn't done, Luka's career's just starting, and who knows if Jayson Tatum/Jimmy Butler/Nikola Jokic win this year's title maybe they'll have a valid case over KD. Jokic's case in particular would be very interesting 1 title vs KD's 2 expired ring pops, Jokic's 2 MVP's vs KD's 1 MVP. But that's all conjecture so as of right now KD's the 17th best player of all time (at best).
I agree. KD's career could've easily ended the same as Harden's if he didn't join the already best team in the league.
Glad you showed Moses some love. That tier 5 placement was really sticking out
Freal he’s top 10 on score board
Most underrated in history.
Torallt agree
One of the best rebounder and he got small hands i think his hand size are just as big as a 5'9 man and he's 6'10. Truly one of the greatest bigman!
#10 all time in scoring
#5 all time in rebounding
3 MVPs
Finals MVP
How was he only in tier 5 until now.
There is always one or two content creators in every category on TH-cam that release infrequent but high quality videos and you are definitely one of those.

Thats to show you how great MJ is,bro played against 9players who are in the GOAT conversation from the same era and dominated all of them and the 90's.

I have a good feeling when we revisit this next time, Giannis will be in tier 2-3 and Doncic will be in tier 4-5

Aside from All NBA 1st team selections he just doesn't have the accolades yet unfortunately. He will probably retire as tier 1 though. Potentially, we never know for sure.

No way KD is on the same Tier as Tim Duncan, thats insane!
Great list. I could quibble with a few placements here and there, but no major complaints. Jokic is 100% going on the list in your next update, that guy is special.

Man russ is just so underrated, yea his individuality was not made for playoffs but his regular season stats in his prime years, man he averaged a freakin tripledouble like for 5 years
I can’t wait until luka is on here. Still a few years out but he has had one of those meteoric starts to a career
@Nathan J Haug this vid was made before Luka’s performance against NYK. I bet he’d at least be in consideration now after that game alone. After all he’s done already, being the only 60-20-10 player in history, and everything he still has to offer, I could see Luka making this list in 3 years.
Contemporary players are vastly superior than those from the past due to three factors: Internationalism, skill advancement and tactical sophistication. My pyramid would have Steph on tier one - he is the greatest player on the greatest dynasty of the most competitive era. On tier two you have LeBron, KD and Kawhi. Luka is on tier three and rising. One can build an epic collection of NBA greats among active players only.
@@philwilson609 kawhi over bill russell wilt kareem nd shaq is INSANE 😭
Luka fanboys are straight up delusional. He's been in the league 5 seasons . no way is he better than any of these players.
@English k
The fact that Giannis accomplished what he did in such a short time is absolutely insane
and he just keeps getting better every year, it's crazy...
One title and 2 MVPs by age 30. Hmmmm. Why don't we check in with Kareem, magic, larry, Jordan, Tim duncan, Moses Malone, I can keep going all day if you'd like. I think there might be a little bit of a recency bias here on this. I am not at all denying the greatness of giannis. I think he is absolutely phenomenal. However I think we're over hyping him a tiny bit and forgetting our NBA history. I think by the time all is said and done, there's a good chance that he'll be in the top 10 of all time. But as it stands right now, one title and two MVPs, defensive player of the year, by age 28 or 29, isn't enough to make him stand out from the rest of that crowd. But at the same time it puts him in some absolutely incredible company. But I don't think we should be gobsmacked at what he's accomplished when tons of other players have done it before him.
@@markbeebe125 he just turned 28 and you checked on age 30😂😂. Just proves how crazy he is. At 27 no one accomplished more than him in the league ever other than maybe magic or Tim, Kareem. Name me players by age 27 that won a ring, fmvp, 2mvps and a DPOY which you seemed to disregard. Keep hating tho casual.
@@xeonbladev18 reading is fundamental buddy, maybe you should learn how to do it. And this writing thing, not exactly a strong suit of yours either. Your first sentence doesn't even make any sense, literally no sense at all. I know we live in the age where children like you have forgotten how to answer telephones and be polite and use grammar and functional life skills like that, you should try it sometime, it will make everything a lot better and a lot easier.
You missed some pretty simple things, that were right there in front of you so you obviously just skipped over them or haven't learned how to read yet: "by age 28 or 29"....."before age 30". These are THINGS THAT ARE TRUE, Alex, for $400.
You asked me to name people, even though I already had. And will again, check in with Bill russell, check in with Tim duncan, check in with kareem, check in with magic, check in with Larry, and yes the dpoy wasn't even a thing when some of these guys were doing it and certainly Larry Bird wasn't the best defensive player in the league, but having won MULTIPLE championships, MVPs, rookie of the Year, finals MVP etc, by the same age is pretty damn close, just because he's got one other award doesn't mean that he's suddenly lapped the field. You have the balls to call me a casual when you can't remember that guys in your own generation, have done this much less the old guys. Go look up Oscar Robertson. So yeah he doesn't have the finals MVP or the championship because he was on a horrific Cincinnati team, but he was averaging a triple double, destroying record books, winning MVPs etc. You won't find an NBA historian that thinks that Oscar isn't on at least the same plane if not above giannis. I'm sorry if I ruffled your feathers, and I'm definitely sorry you took your mouth off his nuts long enough to come down from the high horse that you have no discernible reason to reside on. Just because I pointed out things that are factually true, doesn't mean that you should ignore all reading and reading comprehension and miss the point where I acknowledge his greatness. I'm not bad-mouthing him at all, I'm just pointing out that the original post use a ton of hyperbole went over hyping the guy. He's great!! but it doesn't mean that his greatness makes him suddenly so much greater than other league greats.

Out of all these players, maybe only Russell was as good as a leader of men as Tim Duncan while also having dominance unlocked from the first minute he stepped on the league up until the end, only a few other players achieved that, probably only Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, MJ, Lebron, Magic and Robertson.

Luka won’t get on even if he starts averaging 35 simply because this list is so elite with so much hardware to back it up. Luka is great but it’s too premature to try and say he’s an all time great
I just found your channel today and I’m hooked!!! Your videos are goat status.
Glad to see Larry Bird moved up to tier 2. Bird I think had the greatest basketball IQ of all time
As a long time bucks fan it makes me so proud to see Giannis up there with the greats
i'd put him in tier 3
@@gabrieldodds9081 As someone who loves Giannis, not yet. But mark my words, he'll get there by the end of his career, tier 3 at least.
And well deserved! He is knockong on the Next tier as we speak
Dude this video is straight up fire. Jimmy's story telling voice is just built different plus the way he thinks through this stuff makes these videos so interesting to watch. Keep doing what your doing man.
Jokic needs to be on tier 5 easily after the 2023 ring
You re in the running for GOAT 🐐 of NBA statistics!!!! Love your work man!! You re amazing!
R.I.P. to Kobe Bryant and Bill Russell, who have both passed away since Jxmy's first G.O.A.T. pyramid video.
I once was terrible at basketball and basically has known nothing of the game except the goat is MJ and a few players names. About 3 years ago I started watching Jimmy and I know have so much knowledge of the game and have fallen in love with it. I have also become quite good at playing basketball and have even made my school basketball team! Thank you Jimmy so so much for helping me fall into a game I had no idea about! You're one of my favorite youtubers so keep up the Outstanding Work!!!!
Same here. Exactly the same trajectory.
Same here. Except I thought Lebron was the goat…
And he is 👑 but mj is a good answer too yeah
@@thedargon6899 I thought so too but man imagine if MJ played as many seasons as Bron bro would have the most cracked numbers even better more chips etc. if he was in the modern nba he would get way more DPOY because permittee defense is a lot more valuable in this age of basketball. Even without those years he still has a better resume. I wish it was bron but it never will be 💀
@@TheBabyTortI question a lot of you guys basketball knowledge lol. Like obviously dude. That's like saying "if you stand in cold weather too long, you'll get cold". Ofc if he played longer shit would look different. That's what make bron argument unique and significant is that he has been this good for this long

Steph in tier three is crazy. Might be an defensive hole, but he's inarguably the greatest offensive weapon in the history of the game and singlehandedly popularized the three point shot in the NBA. He carried his bumass 2022 team to the NBA finals singlehandedly with the second best player on the team being Andrew "can't do shit in the 4th quarter" Wiggins. The game is called basketball because the only thing that matters is how to put your ball in their basket and Steph is the best to ever do it. Should be in the 2nd tier, literally third all time.
Ain't no way Ive been watching this man for 3 years, WHERE TF DID THE TIME GO 🤧🤯
We wasted it watchin videos
Thank you for recognizing Nikola Jokic once again! If he was on a different, more ambitious team he would definitely be climbing this pyramid more quickly
Joker overrated

9:15 crazy how this 3.5 year span is a guaranteed Hall of Fame spot for any NBA player.
To be fair olajuwon 1994 season is a guaranteed hof. Champ, FMvp, Mvp, Dpoy, All NBA teams.
The fact that Jokic missed out on the top NBA 75 list and is now about to join a few guys in being a back to back to back MVP is WILD.
At the time when they selected the top 75, Jokic only had one regular season MVP and one appearance in Conference finals. So it was kind of a correct decision.
I expect AD to be ejected from that 75
@@georgiosyiannakou5537 i mean, mvp is kind of a big thing. There werent that many players who got it 🤷🏽♂️

@@batopopadic1071 if it’s like that then D rose would be there or Westbrook, winning fmvp gives you a bigger boost than winning a regular season mvp
@@batopopadic1071 MVP is a joke, more like a popularity contest by writers and commentators, than what it was truly supposed to represent. How else do we explain why MJ had only 6, and Lebron only 4.
Jordan & Kobe are the real goats it’s so sad ppl just forget about Kobe.
Jimmy has to be kicking himself for not including the Joker in this one. Dude looks like he will up in tier 3 or above once his career is over.
Kevin Garnett is the most underrated player in the league in my opinion. So happy to see Dirk and Him moved up to tier 4. Drik's success is granted. KG's not so much. Great to see him getting some shine here.
As a Mavs fan, I agree wholeheartedly. Especially now that Dirk is a tier above D Wade lol.
I actually believe Garnett should be in the same tier as d wade, I would pick wade anytime
Kg belongs in the pyramid, but not higher than IT or Stockton, and possibly Wade. That's muy opinion
KG underachieved, like that one Celtics title with Allen and pierce saved all their careers and is the reason doc is still coaching. How tf can u only win one title with that roster.
Advanced stats and tracking show Garnett as one of the most elite players on both ends of the floor. He was a one man army and had a huge impact in the games he played. Too bad his career was cut short by injuries. I think he should be one tier higher on the pyramid, maybe even two.
I agree, good changes! Wonderful list! Will be fun in a few years with Jokic, Giannis and Luka!
Jokic and Luka will surely make the list and not as tier 5 😶
Lukas gonna be on tier 1

The list is a joke wilt is in tier 3
the greatest of all time is whoever is the most valuable in my opinion
some people don't have as much talent or good stats but can influence games in a direction where their team wins
As others mentioned, i think this should be revisited every so often. I think every 3-4 years is a good choice. -I mean just look at how Giannis, and Jokic broke out to become two Great players.
Kawhi had a legacy defining run a year after he made this list. Not much besides a potential break out star really happens each year. -but in 3-4 years maybe a new dynasty was formed after one fell, a new dominant player has come out and started putting up amazing numbers. So yeah I think every 3-4 years is perfect. 10 years is way too long. A whole dynasty will have come up and fallen in that time, maybe even 2 dynasties.
D-wade and Isaiah Thomas both have a strong argument to be above Kevin Garnet.
I know tier two is already looking crowded but it feels weird not having Timmy up there.
Man, I never get tired of the nba GOATs conversation.
Timmy should be in tier 2 instead of bird
@@BravestOfTheBrave they both should be there
I agree. Bird and Magic should always be same tier, but Kobe, Shaq and Duncan I think should always be paired together as well.
@@BravestOfTheBrave definitely!
I think Duncan would have been tier 2 if they hadn't lost to Miami during 2013 or 2014. He would have been 6-0 in the finals
if i put everything into consideration, skillset, accomplishments, stats, sustained excellence, and influence/impact, it would be hard for me to decide who's the #1 GOAT, but if we used conventional ways, i could make a case for duncan being the #1 GOAT
Giannis 2 tiers above Jokic? LMAO.
Jokic is going to keep working his way higher up this list.🎉
I can’t be the only one just waiting the whole video for this man to add Giannis to the pyramid
Fr I knew he couldn’t leave him off
Giannis will slowly climb this ladder and if he continues this dominance for the rest of his career then he’ll be right there in tier one with the goats
Tier 1 - The GOAT: Michael Jordan
Tier 2 - Leaders of the Record Books: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell
Tier 3 - Best of their Era: Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, and Stephen Curry
Tier 4 - Decade Defining Players: Hakeem Olajuwon, Oscar Robertson, Kevin Durant, Julius Erving, Nikola Jokic, Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Dirk Nowitzki
Tier 5 - All Time Greats: Jerry West, Isiah Thomas, Dwayne Wade, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Elgin Baylor, Charles Barkley, John Havlicek, Kawhi Leonard, and Scottie Pippen
John havlicek is really underrated these days he was a beast a perpetual steam roller..never tired with mad skills
I think Tim Duncan could possibly be a tier higher but overall pretty spot on I would say
Duncan always get disrespected because his game was boring. he's top 5 all time imo.
@@hirokeo facts
I love the content you put out bro, Bron and MJ fan at heart and I can’t hardly ever dispute your opinion. I just have to point out that Magic and Bird were drafted in the 70s but that portion of eras was wild when you consider the depth of skill in the 80s. Love the channel
I've never thought I see a day in the internet that a certain person are both MJ and LeBron fan. Thanksl you for this, breathe of fresh air lol

Giannis to me is the 2nd best PF of all time…
Not to discredit Dirk, KG, and Karl-but what Giannis has done at such a young age is incredible

@@freaknature1774 Tim Duncan literally exists
As great as Giannis is, the magnitude of just how good he sometimes is lost because 1. he doesnt have multiple rings and 2. Talent parity among teams is the greatest ive seen in all my life. But when you bring up those accomplishments, it's impossible to forget anymore.
Considering that LeBron has a 17.8 ppg, being the third best scorer in the Heat roster against the Mavs while shooting miserable 60% from the ft line, it felt very delusional to put him in the same tier that Jordan is in...
Nice work, Jxmy. Even though it will be a few years, I am heavily intrigued to see the next edition of this GOAT pyramid. Will Jokic win a ring and make it? How far does Giannis ascend after the next few years? Could a fifth ring for Steph put him in tier 2?
Great video!
I agree can’t wait but honestly a 5th ring for Steph puts him in tier 1
@@JAYJ_17 Nah mate,, tier 2. He'll get to that tier 1 if somehow he manages to win 2 or 3 more rings (which is crazy to even think about considering he'll postpone so many young and upcoming players their maiden title if that really happens in the future).
Good list except for Tim Duncan not being tier 2. 5 chips and 2 mvps 3 FMVPs and 13 all nba and all defensive appearances is crazy. Especially since you have Kobe in tier 2 when Duncan has more everything except all star game appearances while they both played in the same era.
He also played with three HoF players and a GOAT coach.
this list is beautiful
Kidd, Yao Ming and Doncic have a special place in my heart but I like your ranking. Great job!

So glad kawhi got added. his 2019 run with the raptors was one of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen, aswell as his overall defensive ability throughout his career. A quiet killer
I agree with his addition now, but with his injury history I expect him to be surpassed and drop off in the next pyramid in 5 years.

Especially when you know he played the finals and part of the playoffs injured

Just imagining what Kawhi's legacy could've been if he hadn't wasted his talent going to the Clipper is going to be one of the biggest 'what ifs' ever.
why is everyone forgetting how good prime westbrook was, an honorable mention for him was deserved, check his stats if you disagree. i think iverson was good and well-ranked in tier 5 and also luka, jokic and harden will deserve a place in the next update in my opinion
This pyramid just feels right. It passes the eye test. If we take this pyramid as fact there is just something that seems so on point with it.
