Once big men learned to get a shot, they were remotely impossible to defend without having to get fouled or the opposing team to pray that they miss, it’s absolutely hectic
exactly. big men were taught and trained to be physical and use their body in the 90s-10s, since the perimeter game wasn't as prevalent as it is now, they were the best as they were the biggest and strongest people on the court. as 3 points and iso game evolved, big men were left behind, the last 15 years has just been them adjusting their game to catch up, and they finally have. league is in wraps, big men are back.
Jxmy forgot to mention that these are three foreign born players. International development is the main reason that NBA players from the past are not equal to current players.
@@andyotto9159 big men have been like this my g. Look up the father of domantas sabonis, all I gotta say lol. They just haven’t been allowed the same freedoms as gaurds, a couple years ago it was frowned upon to be 7ft and standing at the 3 pt line.

@@philwilson609 yeah true
Another masterpiece of a video! Just 4-5 years ago, people were discussing about the decline of the big men. And now, we have the best big men battling for MVP. What a time to be alive as an NBA fan
Wonder if it was because of chance that they all were mvp candidates right now or did all of them train how to play in todays NBA (3pts, assist…).
It’s so boring to watch tho, all of them are Drama queens. Raise the damn hoop, it’s too easy for them

Not just the nba but in all sports. Things are changing as superstars are becoming more advanced and changing their game. Being a genetic specimen alone or relying only on talent isn't going to work anymore.

Make a video about how big players are getting injured more often and play less as the NBA goes on (for example Wilt averaged 48.5 minutes while playing all games and this year only five players playes all 82)
I feel like he has recently
Teams today play alot faster, more skill so playing is more taxing on the body
I think this year was a little different because they’ve had 2.5 season in like 1.75 years, so every player is playing to hard and getting injured, so they have to miss more games or take games off to rest. This means the non superstars get more minutes, and also make the injury list because they are playing harder than usual. In a few years, they will get healthier, or the NBA will lower the regular season games
@@noapoleon1 not really the old style of play took more of a toll on the body but the main reason is they players had less of a off-season this yest

As a Utah native, I remember going to a game early in his career when Giannis struggled to get 10 points against Gobert. Look at him now. Terrifying.
Now Gobert struggles to get 10 on Giannis
@@mepd3350 i mean gobert is not an offensive player so it’s not that impressive
i remember seeing him in his rookie year and thinking to myself, if this guy bulks up, he could be a mixture of Shaq/KD. Shooting and pulling up like KD but also driving and getting to the basket as quick as KD can but with the power of Shaq (obv not the same power as Shaq, no one will top that). But to see the amount of work and improvement he has put into the game is incredible. Glad he evolved and improved the way he has. I dont think hell be a shooter like KD but it would be an insane kit for him to have.,
Compared to a few years ago bigs weren’t even remotely expected to shoot jump shots and now we have 3 big MVP finalists that can handle the ball well and pull up from range, the game really is evolving. Love the videos Jxmy!

He’s got a bit of too much recency bias and seems to be uneducated on some of history.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson such as?
@@marvaff6878 If you are serious, he seems to often ignore rule changes or not know of rule changes that may have changed the game. He also greatly downplays players of the past -- even from 25 years ago. In this video itself, he suggesting these 3 bigs are perhaps the 3 best of all-time but ignoring that stats are going crazy because the game changed. If 3 of the highest PERs are in on season, it likely means the game has changed that it's easier for players to rack up statistics. He isn't adjusting for how the game is played.
Thinking Basketball and even Clayton (can't remember the whole name) have a much better understanding of stats and know how look at players of the past. Jimmy here is better at just highlights and more 'fun' topics but deeper dives into stats across different eras, Jimmy has extreme recency bias.
@@marvaff6878 I realized I made a comment elsewhere with more details:
This Channel has so much recency bias and seems ignôránt of important details. “15 years ago the teams started going with guards”. There were some major rule changes starting in 2004 that opened the game and made it harder for a post only big man. Then around 2014 the nba figured out the 3 was very important so it gave even more value to small ball. Stats the past decade are so padded because the nba removed hand checking and allowed less contact by defensive players. Offensive plays also no revolve around single players much more - That’s why right now there are 2 players at 30pts 11reb 4ast, another at 27pts 13reb 8 ast and guards and SF at 25-30pts 7-10 ast. Westbrook was averaging a triple double for several years and Harden was a 30pts 10ast 8 reb machine. This is a a reflection of rule changes that made offense easier.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson I agree - it’s far easier in this generation to accumulate stats. The game has certainly changed to the advantage of the offensive player - and that’s even before Steph Curry/Golden State Warriors being the pre-cursor to the 3-intensive offence seen across the league.
If the Bucks and 76ers can make it to the ECF, that'd be an insane series.

He's mediocre
No he won't, easier rules for offensive success.

Jokic, Embiid, and Giannis have been playing at an unreal level this season.
Embiid is not on their level
@@girejaggu4653 Embiid is the one who should and imo will win MVP this year tho
@@chasehansen5397 you’re on crack, he’s clearly 3rd he can’t perform in the second half against good teams. Beating up on Rudy siakam vucevuc and capela by foul baiting means nothing. They won’t beat the heat, on everything I hold sacred
Embiid will end his career as the most skilled player of all time. Hakeems finesse and footwork, Shaqs physical presence and mentality combined with Durants shot creating and shooting. not to mention, such and underrated passer, fast as fuck and can dribble.
@@andyotto9159 Durants shot creating and shooting ? I know he had a bad series but stopppp it and I’m a Celtics fan. You could argue the others tho even tho I disagree.
Jokic is a great example what Arvydas Sabonis could have been if he came to NBA in his prime (at young age)
Arvydas was much more athletic but not a bad comparison
I still remember 95 'when Danilović dunk over Sabonis 😀
No.
Imagine if Sabonis didn't have problems with the Soviet drafting issue. I wouldn't be surprised if MJ or Hakeem have one less championship on their resume.
@@jeus_saaa if he was with the Blazers in 90 and 92, they might have won both Finals
Bro Jimmy got me into the world basketball. In a country and continent where basketball is nothing, I stumbled upon this man's content and now I'm a big NBA fan. Congrats on 2 mil bruh
Back when the NBA didn't have as much various skills the big men dominated because they were big and could rise up and score more easily over the smaller player. But then as the game progressed guards could easily pick up better handling and shooting to put their game far above the rest of the players. Now in today's game the few big men who are capable of adapting and adopting the skills of capable guards, shooters, and all around scoring/defending, the Big men have the clear advantage since they have the skills of elite-level guards with the dominant size of a 7 footer.
I agree with you, but no big man has the skills of an elite-level guard
@@ChrisMuehlberger60 kd?
@@TheLegend-zh9zm he never plays like a big man tho, no one’s scared of him on defense and he barely looks to back down and rebound. He’s the most skilled 7ft player but I wouldn’t call him a big man because he truly is jus a guard
So Karl Malone And Charles Barkley are Big men but Lebron and KD aren’t ? Lebron was 270pounds in his prime, that’s 30pounds heavier than Giannis, Lebron was shooting 56% from the field, doing most of his damage in the paint.
So what’s your definition of a big man ?
@@Anthonydu01630 I'd say "big man" is the role on the team. What he means is you aren't going to see KD driving hard as a roller on a pick and roll, or Lebron sitting on the block while his guard sets up an offense. Lebron will set up an offense like a point guard and Kevin Durant looks to get open off of off ball screens and Isoing on the perimeter.
Jimmy, I’ve been a huge fan for a long time, and I’ve gotta say, your content has continued to improve so much over these past years. Keep killing the game my brother!!!
Hot take: ball possession/touches and area’s where players receive the ball influences PER ratings. Doncic had 10 more touches a game than Embiid and probably farther away from the rim, which makes it more difficult to have a high PER. Also the amount of touches makes it harder to have a high PER.
Would love to see Jimmy’s take on this
Yes, it has an influence, but even then, they didn't just have the highest PER's this season, they had 3 of the top 10 PER's in NBA history. There have been plenty of dominant big men who had a similar amount of touches and shot selections, and none of them have even come close to the PER's of these 3. Regardless of the amount of touches, this feat is revolutionary.
jimmy doesnt know enough basketball to respond lol, he thinks PER is an extremely advanced stat that has meaning. he's a casual
@@avinashanand17 ok avinash
Jokić leads the league in touches per game iirc
@@avinashanand17 Jimmy has too much recency bias and isn’t good at understanding not only the changes in rules over time but also advance stats. PER are through the roof not because these 3 players are 3 or the top 5 or 10 players but because they are great players playing in an era where the rules and officiating have made it a very offensive game and the teams are using individual players far more than before. It’s not just these big 3 but Westbrook was putting up triple doubles seasons for year, Harden was a 30pt 10ast 7 reb machine etc. Luka is a 28pt 8ast 8 reb machine. These are averages not seen for many decades all happening by several different players in the past 8 or so years.
*2:50** One thing to keep in mind is that the NBA didn’t record blocks and steals until the 1973-74 season so Wilt Chamberlain’s PER doesn’t take into account his blocks and steals*
@Wallace1p Bro Wilt was strong but he wasn’t Shaq, Wilt was 290-300 pounds, Shaq was 290 as a rookie and was like 325-350 in his prime, with a much bigger frame, even guys like Lebron, Zion, Dwight Howard, Steven Adams and many more are probably as strong as Wilt, maybe more, Wilt was a freak but you have a lot’of freak in the history of the sports.
@@Anthonydu01630 Adams is different though, his strength isn't how much he can lift, it's how immovable he is.
I'd love to see prime Adams set a pick on prime Shaq
@Wallace1p stop lying. There is literally no way to know that. If he played in this era he would have been born maybe late 90s and would've developped differently, so there is no way to know. He might've not even want to be a basketball player if he was born in the 90s, there are way too many variables
@@Anthonydu01630 Youre wrong dude. Wilt was a fucking FREAK of nature.. U need to show him some respect
@Wallace1p 😂yeah cause strength= good basketball player. no one knows what he would be in todays game. he played bums
Joker’s passing is ridiculous, and his post moves make him so hard to guard
The big man is back. Made a whole video of how good the best big men have been and didn’t even have to mention Kat and Gobert to prove your point. Another Jxmy W vid.
Considering the success of the three 7 footer lineup for my Cavs this year - I couldn't agree more and I'm very happy this channel agrees

Scary how Luka already had two 45 club seasons in 4 years of carrer in the NBA, and its about to be All NBA First Team for the third time in those 4 year. Imagine his level in his 10th season..... Is gonna be a cheat code
the moment when watching the 3big men mixtapes, the movement and flow, i tip my hat, the effort, work and ideas on the court are as professional or more to say easy and effortless as experiencing art.

Andrew's Spider-Man would break the back board
@UC4MtYGpc7197Hnvejui81VA oh dang
And he'd still miss the part where that's his problem
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction... After the Warriors won the championship using small ball, many teams (Being that the NBA is a copycat league) Either went small or had a small-ball line-up. This has left the door open for talented big men to dominate.
W take
Most consistent non biased looks into basketball. Love it. I would love a look into why Steph is so loved and why, despite having the same type of game as Steph, Trae is becoming the biggest villain in the East. Keep at it High Roller
Tons of people hate curry
Your videos are a love letter to basketball, no where in the world of sports media will you find stories so compelling and well researched. You're the biggest basketball nerd I've ever seen and I fucking LOVE IT!!
On the PER point, it should be noted that before the 80s blocks, steals, and offensive/defensive rebounds were not counted. Given this, Wilt would have a decenetly higher PER.
Still crazy that 3 dudes are havin this crazy a season, just wanted to point this out.
@@gordonlove5121 yeah but he was still dominant though. You've got to be extremely good to average 50pts and 25rbs, even if you ay against nobodies.
@@federicobravi5752 i think Wilt was way ahead of his time
@@gordonlove5121 Gordon to say he played against nobodies is disrespectful. Secondly idk if you realize this Wilt is probably the greatest human specimen to walk the earth in term of athletics! Go look at when he was doing in college in track and field and that not to mention rule changes like the free throw wilt chamberlain in college dunk from the free throw line from the top of the key in three steps since no one else could do or ever seen doing that they changed the rules in college that you had to specifically shoot free throws with out passing the line. No matter the Era Wilt would have been successful cause no one was like him. Final note wilt benched over 500 pounds with out breaking a sweat according to all the body builders and Arnold Schwarzenegger stated wilt picked him up with ease made Arnold feel like a child in his arm.
@@PathtoYahawah tbf wilt was 30 cm taller than arnold. i mean arnie is a big dude by normal standards but its just mindboggling how big some of these bigmen in the nba are/were. you kinda lose the perspective since they are mostly seen next to other nba players but these guys are just gigantic. someone like wilt or embiid are basically a different species just from a physical standpoint. its no wonder he could lift arnie in the air without a problem, for him it was basically like lifting a child would be for an ordinary grown man.
@@peterpan3022 Joel is not on the same level as Wilt man slow it down a bit wilt was a track star in high jump long jump and running and Joel is not lifting over 500 pounds the last NBA player I heard lifting close to that or 500 is Ben Wallace. Yea out of the human species they are on a different lvl 7 footers but in that realm Wilt is the cream of the crop in totality!
Jxmy's videos get me more hyped for NBA than anything the league or mainstream media has ever put out. Keep up the great work.
The big men had to evolve into having the skill set and agility to play like a guard. Then they dominate. Hitting outside shots and making assist and getting rebounds. Not just posting up with their back to the basket but having perimeter game to go with the inside game.
Yes but their post game is still very good especially jokic and embiids
Hakeem Olajuwon is the most complete big man I’ve ever witnessed. He would definitely fit well in this Morden day style of play.

I love how great the competition and skills are in the NBA today. It makes the games so fun to watch
Wish they could do some kind of co-MVP thing, because they're all equally as deserving imo. You can disagree, but that's just my two cents
Jokic is clear MVP. Worst supporting cast and leading every category except PPG
I don’t want Embiid to win but apart from that Jokic deserves it! He’s having one of the best seasons EVER
co-MVPs would ruin history. Jokic is the clear better MVP here.
@@wolfof Im not actually saying this should happen. It's just another way of saying they all deserve it damn near equally. It's also not CLEARLY Jokic. Id probably favor him just narrowly over the other two, but it's so extremely close that it's really hard to get mad at any of them winning it. There's no CLEAR winner. They all bring something different to the table
@@wolfof he is leading in everything Because his team sucks not in spite of it. Its easier to get stats if every single play of your team is going over you.
Can we just give them all a mutual MVP. An embiid fan, but all these guys are insane. Giannis wins in pure physicality and the ability to dominate, embiid puts up insane scoring numbers and can put the team on his back, and jokics advanced stats and impact are unprecedented. Give them all a trophy...
personally i want embiid to win, i believe jokic will cos meat riders but embiid has been the most unguardable player since shaq, and possibly the most skillful weve ever seen. hes a combination of hakeem, shaq and durant

Wasn’t he 6’5?
This is what the 90's were like...the big man was everything and you built around them...the game was inside out and rim protection made it difficult to score inside...Just watching this video makes me appreciate MJ even more than I already did and that's in no way me diminishing any of today's players or today's game...Just a thought

you missed one of the biggest things that happened, the nba quite literally nerfed the big man over the years, the shot clock, 3 second in the paint, allowing harder fouls on big men, 3 point line, back to the basket. Everything has been done in order to please basic fans so we can enjoy guards like curry and harden over people like Hakeem and Russell
Every thing you said existed before the players you used as an example.
Also, I won't consider it as a nerf to the bigs. They just balanced the game. Which IMO is completely fair to prevent the game being dominated by just size and athleticism. Don't blame it on "basic" fans
Tf are you talking about? Shot clock was created in 1954. 3 point line was added in 1979. Nice try but those things existed well before Duncan and Shaq.
Why do we want to spend an hour watching 8 foot tall guys drop balls into a basket without even jumping? These rules exist to keep the game enjoyable and entertaining to watch.
I'd rather watch Curry shoot 3s all day than watch Jokic shuffle backwards into the paint, turn around and toss the ball in from 3 feet away, over and over.
@@nomayo909 This is why I was hesitant to to use them, they were exceptions, not the rule but I was hoping you would see past that. There is no balance, the average height in the nba is 6'7, the average man is 5'9 lol. The nba wanted guards as the stars, as they are more exciting to the casual fans
@@Konitama we already do watch that, teh average height is 6'7 in the nba, 5'9 is the average height of a man, they are already freakishly tall. Yes exactly, the game was changed to please fans like you instead of letting the best players shine
Banger as usual, keep it up Jimmy
I’m not even a basketball fan and I love your videos so much. The pacing, the narration, the editing. You are able to construct a truly engaging short film for fans and non-fans alike. Great work!
And NBA finals is presented by two teams doesn't give a shit by big men 🤣🤣🤣
The scariest part is that Giannis, embid and Jokic arnt even at there peek yet, nor do they have the best team. Bro when that happens shit gonna go crazy…
Steph was so good, he even inspired the big men to play like him. It took a decade, but now the super big man is here.
Big men used to rely mostly on their height and lacked technical skill. They were still good of course but their natural advantages often caused many of them to get lazy. Now big men are trying just as hard as the "shorter" guys in all areas of play.
Jimmy makes our day better whenever he uploads 👏🏾

finally it's here.
Man I loved this! Thank you Jimmy for giving props to these players! Certain talking heads don't want to give all of them their props, but you're unbiased and make the content digestable :)
Thank you for rounding up Gianni’s’ points seeing 29.9 hurts so bad
Giannis has averaged 27 PPG 11.5 RPG and 4 APG on 3 seperate occasions.
completely unique way is so cool. Like these dudes didn’t “break basketball” they are all just really damn good at the game.
Also, Giannis is what Kobe wanted Shaq to be. Had Shaq had worked as hard as Giannis, he would have been the equivalent of Wilt Chamberlain in the 00's. Shaq is actually bigger the Giannis too. The sad part is, back then Shaq didn't need to, so he didn't.
i would love to hear your take on why none of them big boys are getting a ring this year
You know his videos too good when you schedule to watch em certain times 😂
As a kid I watched NBA in 90's and every team had the same formation ( C, PF, SF, SG, PG ). I love and kind of miss 90's basketball. But now I'm getting used to this kind of gameplay. The game evolve so much in those 20 years while I haven't been watching NBA that it was stunning to me. In 90's playmakers never had more rebounds than Centers or PF , now this is normal. Now you have teams who play with players who are almost at the same size, all 5 of them around 6'6 to 6'9. In 90's Centers had to be over 6'11 , PF mostly 6'8 - 6'11 and so on. I'm getting used to the new game styles now and love the game again tho it is very different.
Giannis is already a top 20 player of all time as far as I’m concerned.
I’d say he’s also the second greatest PF of all time
No serious injury, 2-3 title, 2-3 mvp. He will be in the goat debate
Your tweaking lol. You gotta have minimum 2-3 chips for that.
100%. Already matched Tim Duncan on MVP's, already has more DPOY's than him, already has a chip, multiple all-stars, a finals MVP and he's only 26. Right now he's the second best PF of all time, will be first when he retires imo.
@@Fiverr7890 no you don't lol. Name your top 20, doesn't have to be in order, just the best 20 players ever.
That’s the thing with these players and these stats. Everyone of these big men have gotten their teams to the playoffs. That’s saying a lot.
The Dream finger roll @00:17 and @5:41 is a true work of art. Literally watched that 10 times before I finished the vid.
Joel needs to get more aggressive.
Giannis is still growing and has an amazing future ahead.
Jokic is doing some incredible heavy lifting with the Nuggets and in my eyes he's already this season's MVP.
Joel may be big and strong but he is soft, instead of powering through fouls and hitting the layups or dunks, he flops on the ground
I was telling my boys in 2018 that it was the beginning of the big man era. That 2018 draft did it for me. Ayton, Bagley, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Mo Bamba all in the top 6 with crazy skillsets. Not the classic one dimensional Deandre Jordan type. This video validates what I’ve been saying for years now. And with Giannis winning the chip last year, it’s really solidified.
Jxmy with bangers after I make food I swear he comes in clutch
I wish we'd see an emergence of defensive minded players, as players from all positions get more skilled I hope a new breed of players that specialize on defense to counter them will emerge as well.Imagine a taller more agile Ben Wallace or Rodman,Mutombo with Giannis physique
Herb Jones
It’s already starting….U got gaurds winning defensive player of the year award….It’s up from here🤦🏿♂️😭
@@j3nnytool yup that block on a 3 point shot was fkn insane
1 year later jokic has a finals mvp ...... this video aged fine
And even the MVP was also Joel Embiid. Kinda happy to see bigs taking over again
“And long gone were the days of menacing, game changing seven footers, but all of that is about to change.”
It’s about time.
If Giannis continues to dominate like this and wins like 5-7 rings, he could probably go down as the GOAT
Just gotta win a light 5-7 rings
My favourite part about these 3 bigs having huge seasons is that none of them are Americans.
This is possibly the most stacked NBA era of all time, we are so lucky to be able to watch it week in, week out
beautiful breakdown of the state of the NBA right now. Jimmy also could have mentioned the rise of defensive anchors like Robert Williams, Bam, and rudy gobert
Mans forgot who jaren Jackson jr was
@@alexanderhill8126 true true
Well the fans are enjoying this new era of basketball. Was watching with my friends during some of the round 1 games and man.
I’ve been saying Giannis is the new wilt
I know stats say wilt was waaaaay better but if wilt played now he would be averaging just as much if not less than Giannis
Wilt played in a time were people couldn’t dribble or shoot the blocks were easy bc no one was good the rebounds were easy bc no one tried to get a rebound over him the points were easy bc everyone sucked at defense
There is no way someone could change my mind on this I truly do believe Giannis is our new wilt
Bro if you put current Giannis in the 1960s he would look even more dominant than Wilt, I've never seen anyone with his combination of strength and speed at his size except for LeBron. He wouldn't even look human back then.
@@davidepoian9758 Giannis is probably more skilled but Wilt was faster, stronger amd taller.
@@vladirackpubama6785 that’s because of modern training and film. Technically basketball players today are more skilled and better then previous generations. A more fare comparison would be if Wilt, Hakeem, or Kareem were drafted in today’s league but with modern medicine and training
@@davidepoian9758 my other comment☝️
@@vladirackpubama6785 I can agree with stronger and taller but no one in NBA history uses every inch of their height and wingspan as well as Giannis does. Also please watch Giannis play lmfao he'd run circles around Wilt, he was NOT faster than Giannis lol.
As far as i know, Luka Doncic got a +45 club season in 2019-2020 .... and he have done it again this season (28.4 pts + 9.1 reb + 8.7 assist = 46,2) and doesnt appears in this video graph
He is there
I mean, he appears once (season 19-20) but not again this season
The disrespect is real
I'm not the world's biggest NBA fan, but man, your videos are so good, I have to subscribe.
Great analysis. I definitely agree the league is in GREAT hands with Embiid Giannis and Jokic playing at their peaks
I listen to these while I’m at work and lemme tell you I’ve learn so much random facts from this man
Although what these 3 are doing is amazing...you have to compare it to their eras instead of across eras. In statistics there is something called a z-score. It tells you how well you did relative to your year, class, or whatever demographic you wish to compare. Although what Wilt did was insane, he wouldn't have averaged 50ppg and 26rpg in the 80s and 90s (though I still think he would've been dominant). Efficiency today is easier to achieve because of the rules. The league is less physical with defenses more restrictive than in decades past.
Yea should really mention that factor otherwise context gets lost.
Bro Why era comparisons it’s impossible for a player to go to another era so why compare I just don’t really understand those arguments
There are guys who had the skill sets who could translate across eras. A lot of those names - Wilt, Hakeem, young Shaq, Ewing could all shoot mid-range and could develop into players with similar skill sets to Giannis and Embiid. Joker's a bit of unicorn -He doesn't have the speed and defense, but his playmaking helps make up for some of it.
@@iliketurtles7782 Okay, who's greater, Steph Curry or Kenny Smith? If you managed to pick of these options, then how did you come to the conclusion? By comparison, yes? But both of them are in different area, so by your logic, it is not possible to gauge the greatness or skills of both players I have listed because both are in different time period./
Your logic is even more flawed.
