Basketball has the dumbest discourse of any sport. I'd say it has the stupidest fans, but it's the same people who watch football. They just say fewer stupid words about football.

When I read "The Jordan Rules" and saw all this talk about how in 1990 people thought Jordan was just a selfish scorer who could never win, it shocked me. But we've gotten a lot dumber since then. 

Why is it the nation is capable of watching a football game and analyzing where teams are weak, what teams did wrong, or how coaches made mistakes, but when a basketball game ends, every discussion is who's the GOAT, who's a superstar, and will X ever win?

Welp. I’ve learned over the last couple of days that Luka is in peak physical condition, is one of the best defenders in the league, and doesn’t hunt fouls. Thanks for the education everyone. I think

Also, fuck the Kings and the goddamn Suns for allowing the fucking Mavericks to draft Luka. You stupid fucking assholes. There is a reason why your franchises will suck in perpetuity and this is it, t

yeah i’ve still got jokic and giannis as the top two and embiid next.

I mean, availability matters. This was the first time Giannis has been hampered, but hard for me to put a dude who's never been past the 2nd round in the East as a Top 3 player. #3 sounds about right for Luka.

Jokic and Giannis are very reasonable takes. I can’t imagine there are many GM’s who would have Embiid over Luka given his injury history and annual disappearing act in the playoffs.

i agree with both of y’all. i would take luka over embiid if i were starting a franchise. 

btw you could make a case that the five best players in the nba are from serbia, greece (by way of nigeria), slovenia, cameroon, and canada.

Top 2 is a stretch

I've got him#2. I'd take him over Embiid every day. Who are you taking over Luka? Maybe Giannis, but nobody else.

Jokic and Giannis are the 2 obvious ones, you know 2 guys who have actually won MVP and a championship. Maybe not Embiid but only because of health reasons dudes a 2 way monster when healthy. One could even make the argument for Steph but I won't be the one to do it.

Steph is old. Like LeBron, still very good but not near his peak. I would go Jokic and then Luka. An argument can be made for Giannis, but not anyone else, IMO. Embiid shrinks when it matters most. And he plays like he's a foot shorter than he is.

Embiid shot 23% and 11% from three in the fourth quarter this year’s playoffs. The crazy thing is that isn’t even his worst playoff statistic.

Not sure if it's Mavs hate or Luka hate. Great player, but easy to dislike.

I get people not liking him, but downplaying his ability is just dumb.  If I had to choose between Wemby and Luka today, I'm probably picking Luka.

No one is downplaying his ability we're just calling him a fat lazy toad that no one likes

Nah.  Wemby joker luka

I'm going Jok, Luka, Wemby. But no bad answers there.


Despite him being dead for 25 years, I'm going Wilt, Jokic, Luka, Giannis, Wemby, Embiid.  That's how dominant/great Wilt was.
