Like round numbers, like we're being precise here because it matters.
Yeah.
And I get very upset.
when the our mutual dear friend the legend zach lowe i sent him like four years ago a text because he just said almost flippantly like kevin durant you know one of the 10 greatest players of all time and i texted him i'm like i'm like zach if you put pencil to paper you would not you would not agree with yourself there like there's the problem with top 10 did you only have 10.
And so I think top like SGA, I find so interesting because I can't think of another domestic player that you that ended up being an all time legend that through the first two years of his career, no one thought all time legend was possible.
Do you understand what I mean?
I mean, we hoped...
That's a fair point on Kobe.
And maybe I'm grading the high school kids on a curve.
And maybe I shouldn't.
But it feels to me like most of the guys who now are swimming the waters that you're talking about SGA potentially getting to.
Yes, or even like guys that aren't in that pantheon, but are Dwayne Wade and hell, like Carl Malone, Charles Barkley, like in that 20s range.
Those guys, the date, like during their rookie year, people were like, this guy is supposed to be an MVP.
This guy and the guys who pop on us,
yannis and yokich the excuse is ah they were international guys we you know it was kind of a black box i've never and i know sga's canadian there's high school guys same thing where it's correct all right oh year two year three huh right a guy getting this much better like year three to four four to five five to six to where i it's like wait if you would have asked me three years ago it's not that long ago
will SGA ever be the best player in the league?
I would have said, fuck at it.
No.
It was like, he might be like seventh, which is like amazing, but for the consistent improvement and to your point,
And about if that team wins 70 plus and it's like, do they have another top consensus top 20 guy like J Dub?
