The 30 Greatest Players of All Time (UPDATED)

Which player on the list is too high or too low??

"He was drafted higher than Jordan, but no one in Houston even regrets it." awesome quote

Turnovers wasn’t Karl Maloney only nasty habit

Damn. That Karl Malone vs MJ comparison puts things into perspective. It's not weak competition so much as complete and utter dominance to the point where the competition looks weak. Bananas.

3:14 Kevin McHale was incredible. He was the perfect second option and great dual threat alongside Larry Bird in 80s Celtics.

My only issue with with ranking Bill Russel so high is that you penalized guys like Curry and Magic for lacking on the defensive end, which is fair, but you don’t penalize a guy who never averaged above 20PPG and shot 45% as a center. He also never played with less than 3 other HOF’ers and at one point he had 7 HOF teammates. So the context of those rings is important. Not to take away from how impressive 11 rings is though.

Man these lists become so hard for me I find it almost impossible not to separate players pre and post 3pt line

I love watching Jonny being objective and appreciating greatness rather than tearing any great down. I adore the recognition of nuances and small details in the ranking as much as I like seeing unappreciated legends such as Moses getting rewarded. Once again, I also like not having to discredit LeBron in the GOAT debate, since you just value higher Jordan's strength rather than LeBron's in the debate. You also admitted that LeBron is better at certain aspects while Jordan is at others, which is the truth. I personally respect and agree with the opinion that Jordan is the GOAT even though LeBron is starting to become a kinda popular and respected answer in the GOAT debate which can be supported. Finally, love the respect to older players and including context in the way you ranked them, especially Wilt, Bill and Baylor. Great job man😊

I think Kawhi deserves to be on this list, somewhere between Kevin McHale and Giannis. Man has 2FMVPs, yeah he didn't won a regular season MVP, but he was very close in 2016 and 2017 (finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, in 2017 fully deserved it), has two DPOYs, several all-defensive teams obviously, add 3 first all-nba and 2 second all-nba teams - all that accolades look very solid. He literally puts up a top 10 player stats in play-offs since 2016, averaging 28.4+8+4 on 56% eFG and 2 steals for 70 play-off games in these last 8 years. Man is overlooked, suprised nobody even mentioned him in the comments

after the opening i was ready to hear " number 30, Lebum James" lmao

No matter who's ranked where, it's always a joy for me to watch these compilations of pure greatness.

Great listen/watch. Tons of thought were put into this upload. Thx for sharing your rankins

Good solid list, with great description. I like it, would have a few adjustments on my own list, but as u said it's your list. Great list!

My only real issue with this list is having Barkley so far above Dirk. They both struggled defensively, but I think Dirk's offensive strengths as a shooter and his legendary championship run should put him above Barkley

I’d like more explanation on the take “Jokic’s defense leaves much to be desired” the placement makes sense and it’s cool if we’re splitting hairs since this is an all time great players list, but this finals should be enough evidence that he can play excellent defense using his quick hands, positioning, height, and bball iq.

I always like and respect your takes. I don't always agree 100% with you, but you are as unbiased as one can be.

I wasn’t mad at any placement u had. That says a lot because I have watched a lot of basketball in my life, and ur arguments were solid and definitely valid. Good video.

1:44 - #30 2:50 - #29 3:53 - #28 4:55 - #27 5:42 - #26 6:36 - #25 7:24 - #24 8:13 - #23 9:05 - #22 9:47 - #21 10:33 - #20 11:25 - #19 12:17 - #18 12:53 - #17 13:45 - #16 14:47 - #15 15:34 - #14 16:19 - #13 17:20 - #12 18:23 - #11 19:13 - #10 20:10 - #9 20:50 - #8 21:55 - #7 22:52 - #6 23:50 - #5 24:50 - #4 25:40 - #3 26:36 - #2 27:38 - #1

The fact that Russell is that high without an offensive game, just tells you how incredible he was

Great video! You should turn this into a series by ranking your Top 10 players at every position, PG through Center. Just a video/series idea
