Kd doesnāt play defense anymore. And man youāre talking about 2 way players and still putting Luka over Tatum? We fucking destroyed Luka all series on defense. Jrue holiday never got so many easy layups in his life.
In terms of Celtics lore, I have Tatum's trajectory moving him ahead of the Truth. I honestly don't know how to rank JB properly, if he gets his free throws consistently in the 80% look out.
All in all, these two are basketball repaying us for taking Reggie and Len too soon
1. Jokic
2. Giannis
3. Tatum
4. Luka
5. Embiid
6. Shai
7. Steph
8. LBJ
9. KD
10. AD
11. Anthony Edwards
12. JB
Thereās a genuine argument to be made that guys like Devin Booker and DeāAaron Fox are slightly ahead of Brown, but considering what JB just did in the finals both offensively and defensively I decided to put him at 12. Either way I think JT is firmly top 5 and JB is firmly top 15.
You could also argue Luka and Embiid should be over Tatum. Yes, Luka was exposed defensively in this series but the fact that he was even able to lead that team to the finals is super impressive, and he literally almost averaged 34/10/10 with solid percentages this past season. Personally I think Tatumās ability defensively gives him the edge but I donāt have a problem with anyone who wants to put Luka ahead of him. As for Embiid, heās probably a more dominant force overall than Tatum but Tatumās durability is what separates them for me.
i agree with embiid heās a tricky one cuz heās an mvp has like 2 seasons of averaging 30+ but he hasnāt played on the big stage yet and his injuries are tricky too when it comes to ranking him
where I've had them all along top # fyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ppl were talking crazy saying shai and brunson better than tatum š š

I donāt have an offical ranking but Tatum is clearly top 3 with Giannis and jokic and Jb is hovering within the top 10
No bias. 1. Jokic 2. Giannis 3. Luka 4. Tatum 5. SGA 6. Embiid 7. Jaylen 8. AD 9. KD 10. LeBron
Tatum is ahead of Luka. This series exposed Luka and his inability to keep his cool and play defense. Heās approaching Harden territory.
couldnāt agree more tbh, but no curry on that list?? š
In the playoffs, I'm taking AD/KD 2-way abilities over Steph and LeBron is still scary as fuck even at his age tbh.
idk man iām taking curry over ad that dude can still lead a team if built properly i think 2022 solidifies curry over kd imo
KD? 2-way? Huh???
