the best areas for big men if not the best era depending on who you ask after that or the NUMBER_TOKENs and early NUMBER_TOKENs um but regardless uh michael jordan was like when he first got drafted everybody was like i don't know that you can win a championship but the guard is your best player and then now big men are not nearly as valued as they used to be and it's all guard and perimeter play for the most part so i would argue that that transition is rather transcendent to the level that is comparable to the transition steph brought to how teams view three-pointers and it's worth noting that the the gradual uh increase towards more and more three-pointers was already happening steph just PROFANITY_TOKEN hit the gas and accelerated that PROFANITY_TOKEN to an extreme degree but like teams like the miami heat previous to the breakout of the warriors were utilizing the three-pointer and small ball very very effectively and it's not entirely to be credited to the warriors or steph curry and this is me saying it is the guy who's steph curry the second favorite player of all time over michael jordan even though i'm giving him that credit so yeah uh i don't know whatever he might be it's either him or mj i'm trying to not think you want to say allen iverson for cultural impact but just talking about how basketball is played yeah it's probably stefan jordan lebron gets a little bit of credit for uh versatility being more uh prevalent i would say as well john morant will have a better career than russell westbrook now this is a very bold claim because while i believe john moran is about as good of has about as good of a chance as anybody of actually doing something like what this says to be the case uh and as much as russell westbrook is often criticized um russell westbrook's career peak is insane like i still believe james harden should have won the NUMBER_TOKEN mvp because the difference between their stats was like four points and two rebounds but uh way better efficiency for hardin and a way better record but that said uh his mvp season is ludicrous the fact that he was able to put up those kind of numbers and to to make the thunder a competent team um on top of that just overall his career i think now it's become to the point where it's under appreciated when at the time when i was like NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN i was like criticizing it too much now i feel like for me the script has flipped where it's like okay can we not disrespect russell westbrook so much because we know what he's achieved uh that said for john morant i think he's gonna be an all-star this year an all-star by his third year i believe russell westbrook was an all-star by a third year something close to that so you know similar trajectory i would say uh but to reach those heights you can never really predict that that said i think john morant has a good chance of doing that um and that's to say that john moran has a good chance of becoming a top NUMBER_TOKEN player of all time because i have russell westbrook at like NUMBER_TOKEN
