How many of those guys you just listed will ever make a 1st team all NBA or ever finish even top 3 in MVP voting though? Maybe 2 on that list max. Some of those guys are honestly supporting players. We will always have depth and talent, but the cream at the top is not us. None of those guys are Bron, Curry, or KD level

Speaking of Jalen, finally got around to watching this. Well done. But yall talk about Haliburton's code switching,- Jalen is up there too.

Dawg…Jayson Tatum is averaging like 29/8/5, and he’s been to the conference finals like 4x already (about to be 5) and has been to the finals 2 years ago
He’s the guy. You overthinking it

Ant, Brunson, and Tatum will be first team all NBA. Like I said, we’re in a space where we don’t have a generational (Zion is but he has to be healthy. Ant is close) guy but we on spots like 4-50. AJ dybantsa is coming.

Get your kids playing soccer early guys.
Even if you don’t like the sport - It’ll help.

If SGA reps team USA then ill count him until then he's international. We lack size. Its all good though, like posters above have said, we have help on the way. Flagg, Boozer, and AJ Dybantsa will all be studs from the U.S. and they are all actually 6'9 and up. We produce mainly guards right now.

Is Jokic THAT much better than Wemby? Don’t think the gap is that big at all

And Knowing certain histories, we can't even trust that.

Why I find it crazy when folks make it seem like he's so far high and above his peers right now
He's already been crowned as the MVP and consensus best in the world right now, doesn't mean nobody else is near that level.
The combustible situation this season may have been partly his doing but let's not get it twisted, healthy Giannis has shown he's still 1B or 1C when on the floor
His team sucking and being umbalanced as hell doesnt mean he fell off play wise suddenly.

It’s interesting to me that, while a lot of people paint the basketball development pipeline as being better in some countries they than the US, a lot of the great international players that have come along have credited some of their all-around skills to playing sports other than basketball when they were young.
Like Joker’s water polo history impacting his passing and guys who played soccer like Nash saying it helped with basketball footwork.
There’s a lot that goes into someone becoming a great NBA player and, IMO, the system they come up in is much less important than innate talent and work ethic.

Much like dudes that call good looking women average if they were to take strolls in Manhattan ignore the weak women that live/work in that city, yall really forget/ignore the International ball players that DON'T make the cut.
Do we really need to make a list of the "garbage" that has crossed these waters over the last 15 years?

I agree with you as far as timing. Thats why 3 years ago I really thought Giannis was going to take over. Jokic and Giannis being 29 puts them in a rare spot right now. They the only elite players in they primes. All the other cats are younger and the Kobe's/Lebrons/Stephs of the world. are out they primes right now. They have a great combo of youth and experience. And most important size.

I wish kids had the time to play other sports but it's hard to convince a parent NOT to go full 24/7 in one sport with all this money out here that can be made from specialization.

They were never close to Bron.
From 2011-2018 undisputed best player in the world by far.
