In honor of the NBA's 75th Anniversary, the league announced they will be making an updated list of the 75 Greatest Players to have ever played in the NBA. So I will also make my own list and to be fair to all generations and to give a fair and true representation to the history of the game, I will firstly be selecting 10 players from each era (50s/60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s) with the 50s and 60s sharing since there were so many less teams and talent in the early 50s especially. * Note that just because a player is chosen for a particular decade, I will still of course be including his whole Career and have...
Finally here is Part 2 of my Blog for the Greatest 2 Players ever for each Franchise. This week it is all the Eastern Conference Teams and remember this is only what they achieved with that particular Franchise and not how good the players were for their whole Career. Atlantic Division Boston Celtics Larry Bird 13 seasons, 24.3 ppg, 10 rpg, 6.3 apg 3 Titles (5 Finals), 2 x Finals MVP, 3 x MVP 12 x All Star (MVP 1982), 10 x All NBA Team (9 1st Teams) 3 x All Defense 2nd Team, 50/40/90 Club x 2 Bill Russell 13 seasons, 15.1 ppg, 22.5 rpg, 4.3 apg 11 Titles (12 Finals), 5 x MVP 12 x All Star...
With the whole NBA shockingly suspended, we have some time to rank and compare some different players and see which age bracket has the most talent. Anthony Davis, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid recently celebrated birthdays, so let's take an updated look at the best players by age (as of today March 20th, 2020). 19 Years Old Zion Williamson (Born July 6th, 2000) 23.6 pts, 6.8 reb, 2.2 ast, 0.8 stl, 0.5 blk FG 59%, FT 64.5%, 3P 46.2% (0.3 3PM) PER 24.2 One of the only players in the NBA born this century, Zion is easily the best 19 year old in the world. Averaging over 23 pts in under 30 minutes, Zion is scoring the ball at...
The NBA season is back! After a busy summer where multiple All Stars changed teams, let's take a look at the Top 10 starting / finishing lineups for the upcoming season. Since some teams such as the LA Clippers have talented bench players (Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell) that play crunch time minutes, I will be ranking the best 5, as in the 5 that will probably finish most games. So for the Lakers for example even though they are projected to start AD at PF with Kuzma on the bench, I would assume they would finish with a small ball lineup of Davis at the 5 and Kuz at the 4. And since Kuzma is clearly the 3rd best...
After an unexpected Playoffs and a crazy NBA Free Agency where multiple stars switched teams, who are the current Top 50 players in the NBA? As I will be focusing on the upcoming season, I will not rank rookies like Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett as it is impossible to predict a ranking for them before seeing them play one game. I will also not rank Kevin Durant or John Wall as they are both expected to miss most if not all of next season both with a Ruptured Achilles, otherwise KD would be seriously considered for the Number 1 spot. However I WILL be ranking Klay Thompson who also suffered a serious Torn ACL because Klay is...
