    The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
    My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

    Giannis and Jokic are definitely at the top. They’re talent is unmatched. Durant would be much higher if it weren’t for all the games missed due to injuries. He’s still a top 5 player in the game. 29 PPG on 56% shooting is deadly. Durant is one of the best. I agree on the Tatum assessment. Until the Celtics actually get over that playoff hurdle, Tatum will always be ranked in the second tier of players.

    I love Dame. We went to the same college (Weber State) and I've followed his career since he was a sophomore. However, I think I'd put Jimmy Butler ahead of him. Jimmy is a far superior defender and is a better scorer than his stats would indicate. He also a dang good facilitator. Maybe it is recency bias, but the Heat have made it to the finals 2 times in the last 4 years on the back of Butler.

    • @QuestionEverything562
      @QuestionEverything562 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Assists have become very inflated for the last 8-9 seasons now. Simply because of spacing and three point shooting, those are easy junk assists to kick out to dudes that are snipers. Ball dominant players can easily inflate their assists with kick out bail out passing. No offense to Westbrook, Harden, Dame, and some other high assists guys, but they are not truly great passers. I think Westbrook is a very good passer and Harden is a very good passer, but I don't think they are anywhere near a Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Steve Nash, or a Jason Kidd. A lot of Harden's and Westbrook's assists are cheap and really not that impressive. And Dame never makes any spectacular assists, just mostly kick outs to three point shooters.

    • @777Samiboy
      @777Samiboy Před 9 měsíci +2

      Also I remember back in 2000s unless it was a pass to a layup or a straight jump shot you probably weren’t getting the assist. If a jab step was used or even a quick spin off from the post then that counted as a basketball move and didn’t allow an assist. Now it seems you can pass pump fake side step then shoot and still get an assist for that.

    • @JimBrave-ri1oc
      @JimBrave-ri1oc Před 9 měsíci +2

      Jokic blocks a lot of shots and changes alot of opponents shots. He also gets alot of Rebounds which stop the other teams possession and is a great form of defense. Without him denver would give up so many of put backs. He Clears the Back Board better than anyone in the NBA by far and that is a major part of defense. Cause the miss and get the rebound, try to get 25 a game. He's even made Gordon and Porter better at defense He's a top 5 Defender in the NBA. He might be the best defender in the NBA.

      @jaketerpening3284 Před 9 měsíci +3

      ​@@jonnyarnett So the big issue I have is the way he got injured is not the way AD gets injured. Like this year, Jimmy Butler just fell onto his leg in a pretty brutal fashion. That's gonna take even the most durable player out. It's not like AD who just lands a little funny and is out for 2 weeks. His injuries strike me more as bad luck than necessarily a trend. At the beginning of the year he was carrying a Nets squad that sucked without him (even after picking up Bridges who has been balling out) and playing some of the best defense of his career. If not for the injury and then the team falling apart and him being traded, I think he would have been in MVP talks.
      The big red flag I have in the rating is that Lebron and AD are ahead of KD and Booker, but did worse against the nuggets, and had a worse regular season record. That should imply that the Suns had better role players (seeing as CP3 was hurt for pretty much the whole series) but that is obviously not true. The Suns had probably the worst depth in the league, where the lakers role players were performing quite well. You can't base your opinion 100% on results, but results can be an indicator that you are not giving guys their due props.

      If you are going to say that AD is made of paper, then KD is off the list completely. KD is the most paper player in the league right now and he doesn't play defense while AD is top tier on both ends of the floor. Yes, AD is delicate. But Kevin Delicate is a one way player and shouldn't even have been on the list due to his inability to stay on the court. Last year the guy hurt himself jumping in a pre game warm up and missed a dozen games.

    I think that Jonny needs to do a video on "Load Management", or whatever is going on because when he talked about Availability, I noticed that - aside from Jokic & Tatum - NOBODY in the Top 10 is averaging close to 70 games a season, #s 7-10 are averaging in the low to mid 50s, and 2-5 are averaging in the low to mid 60s.....it's crazy!!! With KD I get it, and Embiid seems to have chronic body issues, but nobody else on this list has had close to a career threatening injury...besides age, what gives?
