These playoffs have been fantastic. Best I can remember in a long time. 2 awesome game 7's tomorrow!
On another note, i saw a thread on a different site talking about bill simmons rankings of single best year of players since 2000 (I think) and where he would rank them. He had Lebron 2018 #1 Then he has Giannis this year at #2. Then Shaq in 00, duncan 00, kobe 06, 2017 durant, steph 2016, 2011 dirk, 07 nash, 09 wade, 02 kidd were the others.
I thought curry was too low. Thought his 16 season should have been #2. But then I looked at some stats. I never think of Giannis as a "scorer" I looked up a bunch of guys stats. (curry, lebron, kobe, shaq, duncan and giannis) and per 36 giannis is the best scorer of everyone. 34.9 ppg and 32.7 ppg per 36 were the highest. And I think he is the youngest guy on the list. Crazy. Against boston he is averaging almost 36 ppg and 14 rebounds. Wow.
Shockingly lebrons highest ppg per 36 was this year at 37 years old (29.3) That is insane.
Curry averaged over 30 ppg in only 34 minutes per game in 2016 which is crazy. Plus he pretty much single handedly turned the league upside down which is nuts.
Couple of guys he missed imo: KG and Kawhi. Kawhi is so hard to rank though. He is such an enigma. One of the weirdest and most unique players imo.
Fun discussion anyway
