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.

[@garretnarjes782]

@@88lob I don't think he has the killer instinct either. He definitely has the work ethic, but it doesn't feel like he takes other teams winning as a personal insult. 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.

[@88lob]

​@@garretnarjes782 Hm not sure about that, he's very quiet, pure introvert never know what he really thinks, but he showed a power move by bringing PG to LA, and with that commercial my city from New Balance when he arrived there.

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]

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.

[@jamesbillingsley7]

During the Raptors playoff run in 2019 I was convinced he was the closest thing I’ve ever seen to MJ

[@corruptkid8081]

You’ve obviously never seen Kobe then because they’re the same player

[@yungpaul9344]

Corrupt Kid Bruh no shit Kobe is close to Jordan. I mean Kobe basically copied Jordan’s moves and Jordan even said himself that if one player could beat him it’d be “Kobe Bryant only because he stole all of my moves”. But Kobe retired and also he had similar moves on offense but he was also an active 3 pt shooter and Jordan wasn’t really. But in today’s era, when looking at play style and stuff THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO SO WATCH IT, Kawhi is very similar to Jordan.

[@Zenigundam]

Players who play like Jordan would be physical SGs like Jimmy Butler or Victor Oladipo. They play the same way he did, they're just not as good. Kawhi doesn't play like MJ, his game is soft and even his personality is soft.

[@starrplayaentertainmenttm1053]

@@Zenigundam Kawhi has the best mid range game in the NBA right now thats what makes him similar.

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.

[@Janon743]

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
