Late response a bit, but I do feel like he takes a bit of a backseat when Andrew Nembhard plays. I think he still has the potential to be an elite scorer, but it’s hard to see a window with the Pacers current roster construction unless they change their gameplan
@kai1x_9 күн бұрын
@hoophierarchy no worries at all. And yeah i completely agree. They've been playing him at SF too and Nembhard at SG.. Nembhard almost outshines him every game. I hope they just play him off the bench and actually let Mathurin play his true position

Watching this now, it amazes me how elite of a defensive force Amen became in only his 2nd year. His length, IQ, effort, and anticipation pairs alongside his 99th percentile athleticism made him one of the best and most versatile defender in the NBA. His outside shooting was nonexistent in his rookie year. But for him to make such drastic improvement on his 3pt percentage, improving from 14% to 30% really raised his overall ceiling.

Nope. This is about recency bias. Kobe is not the greatest Laker, either. Kareem and/or Magic own that. The value of all time greats gets discounted over time. No different young fans discount Bill Russell for Larry Bird even though Russell is not just the best Celtic but arguably the NBA's greatest player. His only true rivals being Kareem and Jordan. Why championships and MVPS. They are the three players who dominate those categories!!

Do note that being the best Buck of all time does not mean Giannis is a better player than Kareem. Kareem is clearly a top 5 if not top 3 player ever. It’s about legacy with a single team, and Giannis’ accolades with the Bucks are arguably more impressive than Kareem’s, even though as a whole Kareem has clearly had a better career

Your points are interesting and valid. However, I believe your prediction of his production on NBA might have underestimated Oscar’s potential. In 1992 Olympics, Oscar scored 24 points against the USA Dream Team being guarded by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Clyde Drexler, and to your point his team mates we’re not comparable to NBA players.

Reminds of Luka and Dirk, but might even have shot the ball better than Dirk, next look at Sabonis before the NBA, maybe the most dominant player of all time, 7 foot 4 and about 280 when young, older he was larger than Shaq and more skilled with destroyed knees and feet.

The reason I added the college accolades was it is considered if your stats are more than avg to get in. If you don't believe it... Ralph Sampson is in the hall, and Bill Walton...as is some European players who never had his numbers who got in the Hall. As a player in that hard Western conference, nobody could do anything with him... And if you want to look up Magic Johnson's comments about him and a lot of other players, they'll tell you" Mark Auguire was a problem" ...

100%. You can’t just take a player and teleport him to today without any of the modern advancements. You take Havlicek and have him be born 25 years ago in the modern day with all the modern training but the same talent and work ethic and yes, he’d still be an elite player at the NBA level. Same as you can’t take LeBron and put him back in the 60s. You’d have to have him be born in the 40s and grow up with that training and equipment. He’s a great talent so he’d still be great then too, but he wouldn’t do any of the things he did throughout his career because most of them wouldn’t have been invented yet. The era by era comparisons are unfair because that’s not how things work
