Those top 3 really aren't very good defenders. I don't think overall there is much difference between those 3 and Leonard/Embid/Giannis. Booker is weak defensively as well so I wouldn't put him in that mix.

If we're talking best offense/defense combinations in the league, it's Giannis/Kawhi/Embiid. |

Actually I'd put Doncic near their level offensively too but he's so bad defensively that he's a tier below them overall.

Two-- I hate this notion of "clutch" in sports. Every time I hear the word I cringe a bit, even when it involves players I like in any sport. It implies these "clutch" guys are built of something differently than others, whether through a buildup of nerve or just because they're born with a "clutch" trait/mindset that other players just don't have. No professional athlete practices being "clutch." There aren't clutch exercises or things in practice. If it seems like you're clutch, it's either you're just that damned good, you're lucky, or a combination of the two. And there certainly isn't any stupid ****ing "clutch gene" out there. Skip Bayless and his horseshit belief in magic needs to die in a fire. I'm not saying BigCatDaddy believes in that stuff either, because "clutch" is just such a common word that can mean more broadly, "Nice, he makes plays under pressure," but that's just quibbling at that point. |

Shaq was the best and most dominating player in the league during his prime and top 10 all time player. Shaq is the reason why Kobe Jeter has 3 rings and Kobe's bitch ass kept it from being more.

Totally agree and I think that's what made basketball so much better in the 80s and 90s.. You can identify with a team and watch the maturation process year after year. Same as with college back before all the 1 or 2 and dones.
