  1. It’s funny that Cunningham’s reveal on the list was prefaced with an implication that it was a contrarian pick when freaking Flagg is at number three 🤦‍♂️

  2. You can say the spurs were to young but they did beat everyone in route to a championship what beat them was coaching from Mike Brown just pressed the right buttons at the right time and also unselfish play on both ends, great coaching is what happened intge finals.

  3. Sorry but Flagg is not better than than anyone 4-10. He's good but highly overrated. Luka took a medicore team to the finals beating the loaded wolves w/ Ant, a loaded OKC w/ Shai. Let's see a winning season from Coop before we put him top 10.

  4. Saying MJ didn't have early playoff success is misleading. MJ scored a record 63 points against arguably the greatest team of all time, a Celtics team with 5 future hall of famers. And he did it after missing most of the season with a broken foot. MJ just didn't have a team around him.

    Wemby on the other hand had two other top three picks and a former all star.

  5. Wemby
    Jokic
    Shai
    Ant
    Luka
    Brunson
    Cade
    Flagg
    Giannis
    Haliburton* pending health/Tatum

    Flagg 3 is crazy. I get he’s young but he’s still so unproven.

    And Ant and Flagg ahead of Shai is just dumb. How the 2x mvp and finals mvp below a rookie and Ant? And I like Ant.

    Cade ahead of Brunson is kinda dumb

  6. They still would have to give away the farm for giannis. In the nba the salaries have to match almost 90%. Giannis making like 50mil per year. The only player making close to that is Bam

    So if your not trading Bam they have no choice but to include herro and the whole roster 😂😂

  7. The NY Knicks/Jalen Brunson has to come to an abrupt end.. SMH. One great rookie season only puts you on the rookie list, unless you pull a magic johnson and go the finals your 1st year and put up 40 and get MVP. Outside of that how do you put a rookie with no playoff run ahead of a vet entering into his prime who has been PROVEN to be top 3 clutch players in the league who just won a ring with a 45pt performance?! 😂 smh.

    And Wemby?? His stock fell as far as I’m concerned. People are playing the long game on what Wemby “may” do on the future but as of right now he wet the bed in these finals and Brunson right now is better than Wemby.
    David beat “Fauxliath”. You can only realistically put SGA Luca, Joker and Giannis above Jalen Brunson at this point.

  8. You guys always leave out the fact the bulls were the wizards of the 80s. It was MJ going against teams with 2 or more all stars until he finally got an all star in pippen. The Celtics teams in 86 and 87 were 2 of the greatest teams of all time. 3 all stars vs 1 dude and a bunch of non shooting scrubs. Come on man.Of course the Celtics swept them in a best of 5.
    The pistons teams were also stacked. They had 3 all star players and don’t forget McGuire was a 25ppg scorer in Dallas. And you had a guy named Rodman coming off the bench for mahorn. If not for pippens migraine they would’ve beat Detroit in 90.
    Y’all make it seem like MJ didn’t know how to win but he was facing super teams alone.
