Lol at Giannis. Ahead of Dirk, Barkley, Karl Malone, AND Kevin Garnett.

Giannis at #14, Luca at #20, Leonard at #32 are absolutely insane. Their careers are much too young.

That’s not even mentioning having Jordan at #3. Just wow. Much clickbait.

He should be higher than them. He has done more than them. Individually he has done more than Garnett and Nowitzki and team wise he has done more than Malone and Barkley

Luka at 20 can’t at all be based on what he’s done so far. He’s an elite scorer and did make the WCF this year, but he’s not won any major awards and isn’t a good defender right now. Shouldn’t sniff a top 50 list

For me it's less about Luka (still an absurd ranking) and more about Jokic not being on there at all.

If you're going to have current guys with somewhat young careers (Luka, Giannis) how do you not have the equally decorated (minus a championship) player in Jokic?

No issue with Giannis or Kawhi. I would have Kawhi even higher honestly.

Luka has not done anything as a pro yet to warrant being that high

Charles Barkley remains criminally underrated as a basketball player.

Nick Wright has gone on record saying that he embellishes his hot takes to drive up ratings.

Anyone that gives him clicks or gets triggered by him is a simp.

How many players in history do you think have 2 mvps and a world championship at age 27?

Was glad he left the Houston radio market, and immediately turn the channel if he is on. Can’t stand that dude, so no surprise with this list of his.

Reggie Miller?
Paul Pierce?
Vince Carter?
Ray Allen?
Pau Gasol?
Tracy McGrady?

All in the HOF or will likely be once eligible.
All in the Top 31 Value Over Replacement Player rankings.

Tough to take others out of the ones he has in. I would start with Tiny, Carmelo, King. All great players but I consider the other 6 better.

You could argue Dirk but the other 3 it's no question.
