Yeah, everyone defines what it means to be "transcendent" differently. The working definition I'm using is the players who's skillsets best allowed...
It's the unromantic "how much value did this player produce on the floor with his mixture of skills" versus the quality of the story that can be told...
It's fair in terms of "legend" or other narrative-based judgements. I don't think it's fair in terms of judging his quality as a player.
I think Curry has an argument as the best offensive player ever, considering both his insane scoring efficiency despite the number of shots he takes...
It's definitely the knock on him. I don't think it's fair, personally, but I get the negative perception of it.
I'm not saying Brand wasn't a really good player--but I don't think he was a Hall of Fame caliber talent. While Brand was a competent passer, Webber...
I think that's a pretty tough thing to judge--you have to have enough talent around you to make winning a title possible, but not "too much." Magic...

I think they're a lot worse. With Durant (and no Paul George, obviously), they were on the cusp of knocking out the 73-win Warriors and would have...
Well, I think Webber was a lot better than Brand. Either level would be "disappointing" relative to his expectations, but Webber would still be a...
There's no particular reason that they need to put it back together. I mean, it would be great if they could be friends--the more people who are...
There's certainly a risk. There's also a reward too. If that "sure-fire" prospect pans out (and of the ones I can recall since Olajuwon, the only one...
How so? Bowie was the guy the team that lost the coin flip took. I said the coin flip was basically considered for the right to select...
Well, I mean, with full hindsight, I'd rather he just drafted Kevin Durant.
So, you mean players who proved to be generational over their NBA careers (as opposed to who were generational prospects entering the league)? My...
I think he can play the 3, certainly. But I agree that his skillset plays up the further up on the defensive spectrum he goes. As the league goes...
Jordan wasn't considered the no-doubt top prospect. Probably, he should have been, but the league still considered big men more important. Olajuwon...
Guess it depends on who's correct.
4-1, 3 seed. If they go 3-2, though, I think they'll get the 4 seed. I think the Rockets go 4-1.
Nope. Not on the level of Anthony Davis, Greg Oden/Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, etc. Not even close. Beyond just...
Separate names with a comma.
