    I think Colin sometimes has some suspect takes, but I’ve been saying the same thing this whole year about Ja, and I always get extreme clap back. He is so electric and exciting to watch, but every time I see him attack and land awkwardly (which is often), I see images of D Rose holding his knee in pain. I hope it’s not the case with Ja, but I am very concerned that he will have a major injury sooner than later.

    If Morant doesn't adapt his playstyle then sustainability is a serious issue. If he does adapt then he does have a chance to be an all-time great. Jordan was under 200 lbs when he entered the league and played a similar style to Morant. He later bulked up and added a mid and post game.
    Morant isn't a horrible shooter and just needs to refine his 3 point shot which wasn't something players focused as much on before. Morant also seems like the type of player that will work on his game throughout his career so barring a catastrophic injury like Rose I'm not too concerned about him.

      You're not even making points. MJ was and is the most famous athlete ever. The NBA made its brand around two things: MJ played in the NBA and that he was the best.
      Those are just facts.
      And you somehow turned that into an anti-Lebron rant.
      If greatness was measured by popularity, MJ will win until the day everyone forgets him.
      Everyone has different criteria for what constitutes "the best," but I have a feeling you define it as the closest player to Micheal Jordan.
      Doesn't that feel reductionist? Obviously the player most like Jordan will be Jordan.
      What about the player that has given the most expected titles to their teams over the course of their career?
      -Lebron James/Kareem Abdul Jabar
      What about the player that was truly transcendant at their peak, without peer in the league?
      -Micheal Jordan/Lebron James/ Kareem/Shaq
      What about the player that created a foundation of success on and off the court and lead to winning cultures?
      -Tim Duncan/Bill Russell/Micheal Jordan
      What about the player who combined unparralleled physical abilities with championship results?
      -Wilt Chamberlain/ Lebron James/ Shaquille O'Neal/ Hakeem Olajawon/Micheal Jordan
      What about the player who could play basketball at all positions and thrive at anything they were assigned to do?
      -Lebron James/ Larry Bird/ Magic Johnson
      What about players who came through in big moments when the game was on the line?
      -Larry Bird/ Micheal Jordan/ Lebron James/ Kobe Bryant
      Every single one of those players can be evaluated on all of the criteria. There is no right answer.
      You could insist that big games and big moments is the only correct answer. Someone could insist on expected titles, and that is by no means an exhaustive list.
      The question of greatness isn't with the actual player. It's more with the person viewing what consititutes a great player.
      I ask you, what is your definition of greatness, diverged from any examples of players that fit it or don't. Simply what do you consider excellence on the basketball court.
      Do not mention losely veiled critisisms of Lebron. Just a definition.

    Being lighter than Rose will help Ja with his longevity. Less weight coming down on his legs and knees every time he jumps and cuts. Also DRose was all torque and cuts in his drives that puts serious stress on your ligaments. He relied on quick side to side movements more. Ja has torque and power as well but is more speedy and agile so that will also help him not put as much stress on his legs. He's more quick first step going by you then going side to side. Our legs like moving in straight lines a lot more than cutting side to side

    My thing w the Ja Morant take:
    Ja uses his athletic ability WAAAAAYYY less recklessly than DRose Westbrook and Wall waaaaayyyy earlier on in his career. These point guards were trying to body bigs in the paint when they were going to attack the rim. Ja’s game pace and when he chooses to use his athletic ability is way more selected than the other point guards listed…..not to mention he’s doing this is his 3rd year.

    Cowherd made valid arguments the stat comparison is real. But one thing that kind of made me think that Ja is not going to be like those guys is the fact that he mentioned that Ja is just 178 lbs. Which translates to less impact when he falls down. I'm not so sure about this though because we believe that the heavier you are the stronger you get. But there must be a reason why, CP3, LBJ, Kobe adjust their eating habits and played at a lighter weight during their mid-to-late 30s. Just my thoughts.

    I always wondered if Jordan didn't exist, how would we view Kobe? Would he be the clear cut number 1? I think he gets slighted because he was such a carbon Kobe of Jordan. But Kobe won 5 titles, and while Shaq dominated the Finals, it was Kobe who dominated the playoff runs because the West had real bigs at the time and the East didn't, gave Shaq inflated numbers in the finals. And if we're talking impact I think Kobe is far and away more respected than Lebron, not LeBron's fault but no one can model their game after a guy that is 6'9 built like a linebacker. Kobe was the artist, it's just weird he gets skipped over to me. Same with Magic sometimes.

Also the reason Kobe is as high in people eyes as he is is because he's a carbon copy of Jordan.

    He’s also taking more shots from the midrange than either Rose, Westbrook or Wall in their third year. A lot of those paint buckets aren’t above the rim, and there are very few true big guys anymore who can actually come back from the perimeter to defend the rim; the only real rim protector left is Gobert. So there’s a difference. With that said, he is a better shooter than any of them at that point. It doesn’t have to be like that….but it could.

    Jas ceiling is based off of physical abilities. He gets all these open shots and easier opportunities to score cause he's probably the fastest guard in the league. I dont think that can sustain like a Chris Paul, John stockton, or other guard who plays well into their 30s. However, I think ja is continuing to get better to a point where his physical traits won't be needed in his 30s.
