Ruined the pic and legitimacy of the mamba academy with that pic of Aaron Gordon

nigga is the most talented role player of all time

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Lol Mitchell an afterthought in this discussion

That’s good though that means he’s not overrated

 

[Mafuzzychef]

CJ has had some real nice moments in the playoffs and that would be my case for him, dudes game really translates well into the postseason

I disagree with you though when you say they are all in the same boat

Booker is an extremely efficient player, dude had a 62% true shooting with almost 30% usage.....those almost Harden levels of efficiency.

He gets to the freethow line and puts pressure on the defense.....CJ takes like 2-3 freethrows a game while Booker is at like 7-8

Booker also a very good pick and roll ball handler......CJ cant do that

Booker in that role though

take Dame off the floor and give CJ that freedom..CJ played Point, he knows how to navigate pnr

i pointed out Booker efficiency as the difference but CJ can do more, he has to, he’s smaller. More creative ball handler/finisher

Booker does all that and still don’t raise the level of his teammates. I watched them play better w/o him last year when Oubre got there. That’s what I mean by they all in the same boat. None of them are Leading a team anywhere as the leader. They all gifted scorers, none of them set the tone when it comes to competition. They just get theirs

No disputing that...only thing I I could really say is Booker is like 5-6 years younger than CJ but I agree with your post

For me Bron got eliminated from the GOAT convo after the 17 Finals. GSW had KD...yada yada but Bron had a healthy Kyrie and Love and they still got his ass up outta there in 5 games. Cavs had to shoot like 20 something 3s it felt like in the first quarter in game 4 just not to get swept.

Well if KD is getting cut for Dr J maybe homie has a case

 

[DMorgan]

I apply ifs when I’m not FULLY serious

but you can’t say somebody wasn’t gonna have big moments lol

Didn't mean no big moments ever just not all-time classic moments like Reggie had. Granger was good though.

 

[southsil4lil]

Booker also a much better playmaker and the only player to rival him in that aspect among these players is beal

If I didn’t see beal last season I woulda picked booker over him because of that but beal can too just as well

Beal is playing in some real weird circumstances right now so kind of hard to see whats really going on.....his 3pt shooting has been declining for the past 3-4 years and hes defense has fallen off but he's also had a lot more on his plate.....his usage rate and his free throw rate has gone up ine each of those years too

Judge beal after his first season in Miami

Watching Kobe work that mid-range game was one of my favorite all-time things to watch. His footwork and kind of cerebral decision making was a thing of art. I was too young to appreciate Jordan during his time.

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Stop playing with KD. Mentally weak?




And then In his first Finals nigga avgeraged 30 on 54% on "The King"

What we talking about??

KD didn't owe them no explanation, he sure as hell didn't owe Draymond anything after being called a bitch by him

 

[King Freeman]

Start curry
Bench rose
Cut russ

I'm not starting russ over rose and russ would never accept a bench role and just end up being a overall negative.

Start Bench or Cut

Dr J
Larry Bird
Kevin Durant

Start kd
Bench larry bird
Cut dr j

 

[King Freeman]

He may have got that if not for all that huffing and puffing like few months into the season. We'll never know if KD's mind was already made up but Draymond gave him a easy out.

 

[King Freeman]

I want to see something real quick

Put these players in order from best to worst

Mitchell
Beal
CJ
Booker

Mitchell
Beal
Booker
Cj
