      @@jasonshin9004 those are all traits I’d attribute to Kyle as well. He was quite literally about to be the official designated coach when almost our entire coaching staff was out. The only reason why he wasn’t is because it would have violated the chargers because it wasn’t designated in his contract as a player coach 🤣 also if you wanna see how good lowry is at being a floor raiser, watch the 30 point comeback vs the mavs where it was Lowry & basically a g-leauge team.
      I respect the hell out of Chris Paul and one area he’s better at than kyle is as an isolation scorer, his craft with his handle can open up any short.

      @@jean-andresassine9917 That's not even the problem. For literally all three of the guys mentioned in this video it was bad luck.
      Stockton had the MJ Bulls. No-damn-body was beating them.
      CP3 largely dealt with the Peak Dynasty Warriors during his peak contending years.
      Nash dealt with the Kobe-led Lakers, the Dependable Juggernaut Spurs, and the Dirk-led Mavs.
      Combine that with freak injuries to these guys AND teammates over their careers? Yeah, it's just plain old bad luck. If CP3 doesn't pull his hammy in a Game 5 WCF win a few years ago and/or if Harden and his other teammates didn't UTTERLY crap the bed in the subsequent games, there is literally no doubt in my mind that both CP3 and Harden would be sitting on rings right now.

      100. The biggest reason for CP3's lack of success is that he gets hurt in the playoffs so much. If you want to tell me how good of a player he's been *when healthy* I'm totally onboard. But when it comes to longevity, there are some serious caveats they left out.

Here's to continued recovery for him as the playoffs roll on and maybe, just maybe, he becomes the first on this list to win an NBA championship.

  • @bookaufman9643
    @bookaufman9643 3 роки тому +2

    I'm just a minute into the video but I can tell you some commonalities between these three players. It's the ability to see the floor very clearly. The ability to slow things down when you need to slow things down and to pick it up when it needs to be picked up. Being able to pass is probably the last skill that you're going to lose. It probably requires the least amount of physical ability to maintain at a high level. Youngsters can score but veterans can always see the floor. If you look at Nash and Stockton you see the same thing that you see in Chris Paul. A smaller floor general who has eyes in the back of his head. That's something that doesn't go away.
