Most of these rankings won’t get super controversial will we get into the top 20…. The only people who get salty over the bottom 30 of the list is if that player was your fav player or something and he was ranked lower than some other dude….
Nick, I've not even watched the episode yet, and even if we end up disagreeing I know what I'm about to watch is gold. You are a savant. I watch all of your work and though we disagree somewhat on your goat stance, you always have a great an exceedingly intelligent take on everything you do, and for that you have a lifetime fan. Keep up the amazing work good sir.
Guys you can enjoy content and not agree with everything. And LeBron not goat. Not getting into this with another internet warrior, but he's definitely in my top 3.
Ewings stats are impressive and Barry’s are crazy. He’s rarely talked about though, shows you how much the “likeable” plays into peoples perceptions of athletes.
yeah, I've known about Barry for decades but didn't know he was so dominant in the NBA playoffs. I can tell you, I saw his son Brent SHUT DOWN a Magic Johnson All-Star game slam dunk contest dunking and C-walking, lol, in Inglewood back in the 90s. That kid was a helluva athlete in his early years. It didn't come from nowhere... My feeling is that if people are going to give Dr. J credit for his ABA career, you've gotta do the same for Barry.
Have to admit it Nick's job definitely takes more than just watching a basketball game and then reciting what you saw. Nick obviously has done a tremendous amount of research over the years on this sport and that takes hard work and dedication...but the players still will call people like Nick,Stephen A,Skip and Broussard who never played at a high level "dweebs" Being a sports analyst clearly isnt as easy as it looks.
I just can't wait and hope that I'm still around to watch another New York Knicks championship! It was some of the best basketball that I ever watched as a youngster because that's exactly what I was at that time. I saw when Willis came out after not being sure if he was going to play again. That has to be the, or at least one of the most exciting, thrilling, unique moments in NBA history hands down. This is a very well researched and thoughtful list. Great work Nick. What would be a very special treat is a list comparing say, Jordan's, Magic, Bird's, Barkley's era, to say Lebron's, Mellow, KD, Harden, Westbrook era, up until today. See if in fact today's guys are just as or better, regardless of the rule changes. That would be a really awesome take or list. Thanks. It's a tough call with many players. Ewing ahead of Frazier? Might have to adjust that one.
as a Bulls/Olajuwon fan, Ewings run of losing in game 7 in '92 v Bulls, going up 2-0 v '93 Bulls, and going to game #7 in '94 finals v Rockets, is one of the greatest 3-year runs without winning a championship... fax!!!
Jason Kidd deserves the love. Up there with the best of them with pg around his size like Stockton IT and Nash and also one of the smartest minds in basketball
Love the show and the dynamic between you all, love that each player gets a breakdown of both stats and story within context. But if D disrespects Clyde Frazier like that again I'm going to create multiple burner accounts on Twitter and convince Aaron Gordon to keep making music and spam this channels inbox with the links. On God.
Knick fan since Bernard king...thanks for the love for Clyde Frazier...one finger roll doomed Patrick's all time standing him....he carried the Knicks on his back for over a decade...they were always tough and competitive with patrick...he was rocksteady
I'm glad to see Nick giving Jason Kidd his props. Some lists have him outside the top 40 all time which is crazy bc he is a no doubt top 30 player ever and I'd actually put him top 25. Clearly the best player on those two Nets finalists teams and won a chip later in his career. I have him 5th best PG ever behind Magic, Steph, Oscar, and IT. He's ahead of CP3, Stockton, and Nash bc those guys never won a ring
Kidd was better than Stockton by a mile. Stockton was second fiddle on a loser. If kidd had someone in the top 20 scoring in their primes he would have multiple rings.
Yeah, the jazz system did to Stockton’s assist numbers what the D’Antoni system did to James harden’s scoring numbers. If you go back and watch Utah jazz games, the overwhelming majority of Stockton’s assists aren’t really impressive passing displays or crazy high IQ plays. Just tons of pocket passes, and dribbling up and throwing it to a PF who happens to be possibly the best mid range shooter ever who just did turn around post shots the second he caught the ball. I don’t remember the exact stats, but another pg before Stockton took over in the jazz system was a pure scoring pg who averaged something like 3 apg in college, got dropped into the jazz system and started averaging something like 9 apg. He’s still a great player, but his assist stats are really bloated from the jazz system
“There’s only been 2 active players on my list…actually 3 active players so far…oh Russell Westbrook I forgot, so 4 active players…actually it’s 5 active players” 😂
The Gary Payton comments showed nicks age. Gary Payton literally never lost to Hakeem. Now, he lost to the suns a bunch of times. The sonics were notorious for beating the rockets. As a rockets fan, I hated the sonics.
I know what Jason Kidd represents and he is definitely underrated (Most of us younger guys only remember his last dallas run and his coaching )... but him over Nash? I'm not sure about this chief.
@Ta-Kuan Fuan the biggest reason being that those other 3 pgs you lined up next to him are 3 of the greatest defensive pgs ever on top of being nice offensively too. Nash was all offense.
"second is almost like first place". - nick wright. Essentially summarizes nicks sport's ideology. Which explains why he loves LeBron. The greatest second place finisher of all time.
Thank you for understanding how great Isiah Thomas was compared to guys like Iverson, I know he’s probably ranked somewhere in the top 20- can’t wait to see where u ranked him pal.
If we rate championships so high, then how is Ewing ahead of Walt Frazier? Ewing couldn't win anything even when Jordan was gone, and how many times did he choke? He missed a layup once.
Trying to figure out who the top 25 must be at this point. Here’s my prediction (not thinking super hard about the exact order but roughly speaking): 1. LeBron 2. Kareem 3. Jordan (lol) 4. Magic 5. Duncan 6. Bird 7. Kobe 8. Shaq 9. Hakeem 10. Dr. J 11. Moses Malone 12. Steph 13. Giannis 14. Isaiah 15. KD 16. Dirk 17. KG 18. Karl Malone 19. Barkley 20. Robinson 21. CP3 22. Stockton 23. Wade 24. Luka?? 25. Harden Am I forgetting anyone obvious? Seems high for Harden and Wade but I can’t think who else it would be, and having Luka on the list at all seems wild to me but I think he hinted at it earlier.
Does Nick not count Payton’s championship (or even that finals appearance itself) with the Heat? Just a little confused here but maybe I’m missing something
Gary Payton got to the finals 3 times … 1 as an alpha on Seattle .. 1 on the lakers failed super team .. and 1 with Wade and Shaq in Miami where they won.
I would say the last 50 years of basketball have beeen the most important so to speak…. Definitely since the merger in 76…. Which would be last 46 years.. so round up to 50 starting at 72 which is right around the time Kareem came into the league… before then every star player was putting up ridiculous stats like wilt Oscar and Elgin… how hard is it to rank bill russel with his 11 chips but never averaged more than 19 ppg in a season and never shot close to 50% in any season either as a center….
Yea gp got a title with the heat but who remembers what he did all we remember is d wade shaq was on the team as well but I don’t remember what he did either lol
I'm gonna need to see why Stockton is above Kidd. And Kidd leading 2 teams to the finals and being a world better defensively than A.I. clearly puts him above A.I.
Stockton longevity plus his insane career stats are the reason thats he is higher than JKidd, people under-rate Stockton like he got everyone of his assist from Karl Malone 🙄, you dont end up with that many assist from giving the ball to 1 guy plus he is far and away the all time steals leader give him the respect he deserves
Can't remember where Chris Paul appears on this list, but Jason is obviously a better player. More dominant, a better leader. I just don't get the "point god" baloney. Two guards in this sedtion who were better -- Walt night in night out and same for Jason. And Rick was awesome period. Really better than anybody gives him credit for.
Giannis is above the 20s. The guy will end up a top 10 player all time. His playoffs this year convinced me that he has a Lebron type longevity in him. The 2020s is his, if injury doesn't derail his career.
@@danielabraham5901 he said current player though, and the only current players in the top 25 are giannis, kd, curry, lebron. Giannis is the lowest on the list of those four. Unless I'm missing a fifth?
@@LoganArnold18 one was against a broken golden state team and the other was basically gifted to him for no reason. Andre Igoudala has a finals mvp. Don't put too much stock into that award.
Maybe if you were doing peak to peak but most accept that “greatest of all time” lists have a significant longevity/accomplishment factor and Kawhi simply doesn’t measure up there
I better not see KD in the top 25. The dude had elite all stars all his career, no one ever double teamed him. He choked the first time he had an even playing field.
Rick Barry was a genius you say you shouldnt show the pic of him shooting underhand. Hes the all time lesder in fees throw percentage. Everyone who shoots like that shoots better but everyone hates how it looks he doesnt care.
He's honestly in a good spot. His peak has been very short. As a top 10 player he has only been that for about 5-6 years. That alone shouldn't put him above guys like melo, paul gasol, pierce, bosh. Fortunately for him he won a chip with san Antonio and the raptors. At his peak Kawhi has been a top 5 player and probably top 4 for a year or two. Once again I honestly find it hard to put him top 30 with that resume.
I was enjoying nicks list until he made the comment Ewing was not as impactful as Stockton.. many of these tv analyst really do not study the game unfortunately..Some of them have this narrative of trying to elevate Stockton’s career even said he’s better then Isaiah Tomas..it’s becoming ridiculous.. Ewing never played with another HOF player yet carried his team to the finals and lost in 7. He didn’t join a big 3 or rode the coattails of a HOF power forward..CONTEXT is desperately needed in these convos
Dmozeh, learn basketball history before you start running your mouth, payton has a ring with the heat. #2, walt played a WAY bigger role in those chip runs that the glove did in his.
I'm not sure if you understand this Nick, so I'm going to put it in Lebron perspective for you. All time stat leaders matter most. It's the reason people will still look at Lebron as the GOAT in 100 years. Kidd at #27? Theoretically #1 in steals and #1 in assists, being that Stocktons are out of reach. #27???? If Stockton isn't #26 I won't understand. A steal is the most beneficial in-game achievement there is. Championships are TEAM achievements and shouldn't be mentioned or taken into consideration. Top 50 players not teams. (Best player on a championship team )doesn't matter much either when Scottie Pippin is the second best player in the league, and you also have 3 of the 5 best defenders in the league, the best coach, the best team, and COINCIDENTALLY the best record EVER. What does Lebron's passing of Kareem's record mean for his GOAT argument? Judging by your standards, nothing.
Do you agree with this episode's rankings?
We shall see
no
kidd not better than Dominique Wilkins, gervin, ai, or Ewing lol
Kidd better than Kwawi. Naw cant see it
Most of these rankings won’t get super controversial will we get into the top 20…. The only people who get salty over the bottom 30 of the list is if that player was your fav player or something and he was ranked lower than some other dude….

At first I thought Ewing was a few spots too high, but you talked me into it.
Rick effing Barry top 30 all time. Nick Wright knows exactly what he’s doing! LFG!!!!
There’s so much ABA slander out there. Glad to see Nick reaching back
The ABA made the league special. It’s horrendous that people don’t value it more.
Wow Rick Barry def way more gangster than I ever imagined... Jerry West too they were legit badasses lol
Love this series
How is walt Frazier behind kidd and Ewing with two chips??

Ewing was not James harden. He was a top 5 player in the nba 6 times. More than Robinson more than Barkley he was amazing
This was the best one yet. Ewing and Barry are such interesting cases. Kidd and Frazier too, but Ewing and Barry are so interesting. Great list.

Top 50 players not teams. (Best player on a championship team )doesn't matter much either when Scottie Pippin is the second best player in the league, and you also have 3 of the 5 best defenders in the league, the best coach, the best team, and COINCIDENTALLY the best record EVER. What does Lebron's passing of Kareem's record mean for his GOAT argument? Judging by your standards, nothing.
Absolute guarantee that lebron is nicks no1
