All time #NBA player ranking truths people don’t wanna admit because they’re clinging to the past: Giannis & Jokic>Shaq; Shaq isn’t top 10 Harden & CP3 are top 25 & >BigO & Wade AD is top 50 at worst Jimmy & Draymond are top 65 at worst Paul Pierce & Paul George are pretty close

It’s been 4 years and everyone still misses it dearly, when is ESPN gonna realize people aren’t gonna grow into their new theme like they envisioned

@cantguardjp4 @paulsen_smw

@paulsen_smw what if it wasn’t a mistake?

ESPN using its old NBA theme on its Game 5 promos just now ... I know it was just a mistake, but man I have no idea why they don't just go back to it.

@getnickwright If you’re blaming harden for that game you’re obviously just pushing a narrative

Imagine hearing this in 2021: Giannis, Steph, Kawhi, AD, Jimmy, Bam, Trae, Ja, Zion, & LaMelo missed the playoffs. Dame, Kyrie, & Haliburton missed the season. Luka, Embiid, KD, & Ant are compromised. Lonzo & Ben Simmons aren’t in the league. Bron & Harden are gonna move on.

@KlNGOFSPADES @ZachLowe_NBA @BillSimmons Maybe, and if they do, they’re right. I hope they do. He is. If they say SGA’s taken the spot, it’d be disappointing prisoner of the moment stuff. Giannis is my favorite player so I was resistant to calling Jokic BITW until later than most (the 24 playoffs), I’m not a Denver fan.

@ZachLowe_NBA @BillSimmons will you two crackers continue to tell me that jokic is the BITW?

Gonna have much to discuss tomorrow @BillSimmons

@johnathanwojcik @rBillSimmonsPod It made sense he did. Jokic was a more valuable player this regular season than SGA and Wemby. Doncic was the most valuable but no one voted for him, he had no chance.

@rBillSimmonsPod And Simmons just flipped his MVP vote, very publicly, to Jokic a couple weeks ago. A real "sliding doors moment" for the Sports Guy.

@homefan2 @TuckFitter3 @BillSimmons @DJJEWELSLIVE Charles yes, Melo no. Melo was never the best player on a finals team or MVP. He’s a level below the best ringless players- Barkley, Karl Malone, CP3, Harden.

@aaron_j_fc @TuckFitter3 @BillSimmons @DJJEWELSLIVE He’d be like Charles, Melo. Great but not good enough to win a ring

I still don’t understand why KD wasn’t with his team for Game 3. He’s won 2 playoff series since 2019 and his team was down 0-2 in a must-win game… he’s just MIA? What’s the actual story here?

@JohnDavids46868 @MProcesss @NBAHistory My cover pic is from when I was a teenager I should probably update it haha. It’s just hard to because that was such a fun time. I’ve been “studying the history of the game” for over a decade.

@aaron_j_fc @MProcesss @NBAHistory Given you seem like you’ve just grown your first lot of pubes, maybe study the history of the game and understand that not everyone wants to dickride LBJ and think he’s top five of all time. Doesn’t mean I’m a hater it just means he’s not in my top five.

Join us in wishing a Happy 50th Birthday to 15x NBA All-Star, 5x NBA Champion, 3x NBA Finals MVP and 75th Anniversary Team member, Tim Duncan!

@NBAHistory Happy birthday 4th best player ever

@JohnDavids46868 @MProcesss @NBAHistory You are a hater if you don’t have LeBron in your top 5. Or you just simply have no clue about ranking basketball players.

@MProcesss @NBAHistory Thanks for the good discussion tho, I’m not a hater just trying to evaluate the greatest and that’s what makes it interesting.

@So1oAce @VanLathan “Made with AI”

@VanLathan Fixed it

What the fuck is this

@homefan2 @TuckFitter3 @BillSimmons @DJJEWELSLIVE Irrelevant to what? Genuinely don’t know what you’re referring to. Do you think he wouldn’t be great at 37 if he hadn’t joined them?

@TuckFitter3 @BillSimmons @DJJEWELSLIVE He’d literally be irrelevant if he never joined the super 73-9 team

@rBillSimmonsPod The Lowe hate is weird.

Ryen Russillo to Zach Lowe on BS Pod NBA Sunday Nights

@McCadeP8 @NBAisBest4 That’s low. What’s the argument for Robinson over him?

@aaron_j_fc @NBAisBest4 I now have him 16th behind Harden, Durant, Curry, DRob and SGA* *I haven't formally placed SGA in my ranking yet

Kobe so overrated on all-time rankings. Hes a top 25 player, ain’t one of the great greats. After that? Steph and KD are top 15 guys. Duncan a top 10 guy. Kareem top 5. Magic, MJ, Bron Top 3

@soulpowerpaul @rBillSimmonsPod The Mismatch.

@rBillSimmonsPod What are some good nba pods people listen to besides Bill? Have grown progressively disappointed but it doesn’t seem like there are many options

Reviews are in for today’s BS Pod

@McCadeP8 @NBAisBest4 Which is… where? I have him 9th.

@NBAisBest4 Hakeem is probably the person I have unique opinions on. I hate him a lot more than most, I like him a lot more than most, which means I have him ranked the same place as most--just for crazy different reasons.

Jalen Duren is not an All NBA player. Yet I’m almost certain he’ll make it, even though they don’t each need to have a center anymore!

What if I told you in 2021 that through the first 2 games of the playoffs 5 years from now, NONE of Giannis, Embiid, Luka, Steph, Kawhi, KD, AD, Jimmy, Dame, Kyrie, Trae, Zion, LaMelo, Ja, or DBook will have won a game while LeBron will have won 2, & been his team’s best player?

@getnickwright Conveniently ignoring a certain 36 year old top 25 player of all time because he hasn’t played to the narrative about him in the playoffs. Not surprising.

Checking in on the NBA’s old timers… Durant’s flirting with 10 turnovers in his first playoff game as a Rocket. Steph’s at Coachella. Kawhi’s planting trees. LeBron is averaging 39 MPG & 24-8-10 to go up 2-0 without his team’s 2 leading scorers. 🐐🐐🐐

@TheRoseCompany @Fullcourtpass @MarcJSpears @WillardAndDibs @CurryForGame Gun violence isn’t detrimental to America?

@Fullcourtpass @MarcJSpears @WillardAndDibs @CurryForGame Because he’s a partisan hack who only speaks on to benefit the left. He’s not speaking on issues detrimental to America, just ones he sees in his lense.

“He speaks out on social justice issues, he speaks out on racism issues, he speaks out on gun violence and I've heard a little bit that maybe he's being stifled a little bit in that regard.” - @MarcJSpears on why Steve Kerr could leave (Via @WillardAndDibs, h/t @CurryForGame)
