10th guy on my pyramid list, Steph Curry.
Was there ever a point in Steph Curry's career where everybody agreed he was the best player in the league?
The 2015 NBA.
LeBron's there though.
Nobody thought he was.
Because it was so early for them.
He was the MVP, but nobody thought LeBron was better than Steph Curry.
Yeah, it was so early.
Wow.
That's amazing.
So you could say 2022, when he single-handedly basically brings Golden State to the title, I think he gets it for that year.
I think we left 22 and we're like, that's the best player in the league.
Okay.
Maybe.
That was the first one I had doubts on.
So that's the first one.
So I'd have him Jerry West, who was incredible, who I still have in my top 12, but Russell was there and then immediately praised by wilt.
And then Russell again, then Kareem, he was never, he was the best non-center, but he was never the best player.
Never had the belt.
