Well poo poo I'm convinced. He was always number 1 in my heart, felt pretty homerish to say top 50 all time over guys like Pete Maravich, James Worthy and Bill Walton.

Now let me tell you all about 2018 MVP Paul George...

Pete Maravich is a prime example of style over substance. He has a good reputation because he had some elite scoring games and flashy passing. But a look at his stats shows him as a gigantic chucker. Some seasons he did 20 2PAs per game shooting less than 42% which is horrendous even for mediocre 1970s shooting.

James Worthy was good but he wouldn't be remembered nearly as much if he didn't play alongside Magic and Kareem. Bill Walton was injured so often and only reached 13,000 minutes played. He basically played ~3 Wilt seasons over his whole career.


Chicago media used this exact strategy with Derrick Rose over the course of a few seasons.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Problem: the Suns GM is so bad that I actually think he can hire a worse coach than Earl Watson if given an opportunity.

If NBA teams employ the "uhhh . . . let's just get out of the way and let him slowly dribble to the basket" strategy of the Suns tonight, then definitely.
