Yeah Jimmy butler is better than Luka doncic, be fucking fr
Excellent episode, great explanations all around for YOUR CHOICES.
People seem to forget that part. 😅
Also, he got injured, which can explain the drop off… Because the reason why we will justify someone like Embiid’s performances is the injury
Jimmy and Luka are just flat out better than AD and Lebron right now
That Lebron vs James Harden playoff stat was INSANEEEEE 🤯🤯🤯
I honestly though you'd have Jimmy over KD and Bron after the Heat were in the finals and his defensive impact, especially compared to KD. My prediction for #8 tomorrow is once again KD.
Forgot this video was about Jimmy Butler 💀
You already know the views boutta go crazy when he ranks lebron lol
I think Jimmy is overrated. The way he plays is extremely cheap
Tatum has to be above Embid. Tatum scored the most total points in the league last year. Tatum in my opinion is also above bron and AD
Lebron better be #8
Disrespect. What does this man have to do?
Hated the tangent talk about the 9th best player. Came for Jimmy, not some true shooting tangent.
i’m def prob the only 16 year old that’s watches this. u taught me sm about basketball that i didn’t even know!!!
Personally I disagree with Luka at 10 but I’m not going to say anything about it because I’m not really surprised by Jason’s ranking. It seems like those who are outraged with the luka pick are either massive Luka fans or newer listeners of the show because all of us who have watched and listened to Jason for 2+ seasons understand how his breakdowns of the best players each year are ranked and his Luka take is in accordance with his previous ranking and his consistency.
I can’t be upset about Jason remaining consistent from season to season because that’s what makes his videos real and his opinion valuable. We know Jason‘s favorite player is LeBron James but the same consistency that applies to these player rankings was evident many times during this season when Jason pointed out and criticized his favorite player harshly when it was deserved. LeBron is getting much older and he’s still an elite player in the league but I can remember multiple different times just this past season where LeBron was getting lazy in defense and Jason came right out and called him out on it. This is the consistency and unbiased analysis I look for when I listen to sport talk shows which is of course why hoops tonight is my favorite sports media show
Dude couldn’t help himself HAD TO GLAZE LEBRON LMAOOOOO
Buttler is top 5
Jimmy is special definition of a dog on the basketball court
Your logic makes absolute sense to me. I think it’s time for everybody to just enjoy the analysis. How many damn caveats do you have to shove in every episode? Apparently a lot.
Is LeBron currently better than Luka just because his TEAM made the conference finals?? 🫢😊
As a fellow Lakers fan.. you have Lebron and AD overrated
Jimmy should be higher but I understand your reasoning. I just would take Jimmy over Embiid AD Lebron. PPG isn’t everything.
Also it sucks half of this episode was not about Jimmy
Awesome breakdown of the technicalities
Huh!?
LeBron over Jimmy Butler right now is insane. I love you, JT, but some of these rankings are headscratchers
Luka is easily top 5. Any GM would tell you that. All of the technical breakdowns and extra verbiage doesn't beat the eye test. JUST WOW!! And I'm not a Mavs fan.
I’m actually gonna have a hard time watching the rest of this list knowing you think Jimmy butler is even close to the player Luka is
You never told us Hardens playoff effective fg% and true shooting %
James harden catching strays today 😅
calling it now, steph at 3rd
jason, thanks for breaking down your thought process on when and where to find value for certain stats/metrics. Pretty insightful and one of your better videos overall to understand the utility of how to apply different statistics in a meaningful way.
AD or Bron should not be higher than Jimmy. How do Lakers have two top 8 players on their team and get swept? They rotated their roster about 3 times if you count the off season from last yr.
jimmy butler's one handed shot with under 1 second to tie the game was probably the greatest shot i've ever seen in basketball.
Thank you for adding that other side of the ball that many people seem to forget jimmy is monster on defense… for all of harden or even dbook and the offense jimmy can do all that plus lock up jimmy fuckin butler he’s a winner
I like it, winning matters and should be rewarded 20 out of 30 teams make the playoffs other than injuries there’s no excuse get it done.
I respect the low Luka rating. Reward winning not stat stuffing
