If that's your logic, is Tracy McGrady a candidate for your list?

Yeah, I love this game.

One of the nerd candidates I'll throw at you is Larry Sanders.

Oh, that's a great one.

When we were starting to do some of the first player tracking studies in the NBA, this guy started to pop on all these rim protection metrics that we'd never had access to before.

And I wrote his paper for Sloan.

I was like, this guy is going to be the best rim protector in the league for the next five or 10 years.

And he was out of the league by 26 or something.

And, but he was, I was like, this guy, I'm going to put my flag in here.

And this guy's going to be, you know, the face of the defensive analytics revolution.

He never showed up.

I can't go against the sports guy on Koozie, but that's the one I heard you and Zach talking about it, the generational stuff.

Everybody's going to read that differently.

I'll take it as listed.

Tony Parker.

The guy who won four NBA championships, the finals MVP, led the league in paint scoring as a 6'2 point guard.

And, you know, you could say he's a system player or what, but man, he was the best player on that team for a lot of big games.

And, you know, I'm biased to the silver and black, but Tony...

Tony's getting lost for the same reason Tim gets lost.

He doesn't talk about himself.
