    Career-wise, LeBron will always make sense. But as far as the eye test goes, it's definitely Kawhi. Jimmy and DeMar have similar traits to their game and especially DeMar since joining the Bulls. But MJ's absolute dominance on both ends of the court is and will always be mind boggling.

      Same. Even more in 2023. The playing style and the attitude are the biggest factors imho. Also have to agree with Jxmi that DeMar DeRozan, in terms of his size, footwork, style, and skillset, reminds me of Jordan the most - especially now seeing him on the court in a Bulls uniform.

      MJ would lose. You girly Generation Z boys want to talk about "positionless" basketball, but you'd be the same ones complaining about how Bron is a SF and Jordan is a SG when the King murked him in a one on one. MJ can never lose in your eyes and most of you never saw him play in the NBA.

As a contrast, Kobe learned that playing angry was a valuable tool. MJ also knew that, and whether by choice or fault, MJ got insulted easily while taking it out on his opponents at the hoop. Kobe and MJ took it as an insult if someone thought they could be win. I don't get that sense from Leonard.

    Fantastic work! Although not currently active, I'd say that Kobe was the next iteration of Jordan. That being said, I completely agree with your assessment. Although Kawhi started out as a "Lebron killer" and defensive specialist, he quickly turned his offense on just like Butler and became the best 2hway player since Kobe, who was the best 2-way player since MJ. So, good analysis. More please...do Magic, Bird, Wilt.

      Jxmy you should do a video ranking the best NBA players today in tiers using the pyramid system like you did before. ESPN is ranking them now but they're doing it 1 by 1 which doesn't make sense because you could make so many arguments who's better than who. So I guess the pyramid would be top 30 players today and use the same formula you used before which is a fair way to rank athletes.

  • @andrewhart9310
    @andrewhart9310 Před 2 lety +2

    Although obviously it would be way too much work, I'd really loved to have seen the same formula applied to retired players, in particular Kobe and Wade - even Iverson. Obviously Kobe patterned his game after MJ, and there are some differences to be sure, but I don't know if any current players (especially forwards) compare quite as well as some of those who have gone before.

    I've said this to my friends since 2014 with a lot of them dismissing the idea. I live in SA and they thought I only said it because I was a spurs fan. Thanks for making me think I'm not crazy.

    This guy's amazing at what he does. Quality over quantity. Everytime I watch his video it's entertaining and more importantly makes me think about the content that was presented. Truly amazing.
    PS: would have liked to know how Kobe would fair in this comparison though he's not among the current players.

    You totally nailed this one. Kawhi Leonard is the closest thing to Michael Jordan in play style.
    However, were you ranking all time similarities for everyone that played since Jordan, I think you would find Kobe Bryant the most similar.

      The similarities between MJ and Kobe are so dramatic that not only looking at their overall trends in their game is possible, even watching footage of them side by side the similarity is uncanny. Not to say they aren’t their own players but it’s fascinating
