This is a very interesting question, because the NBA is the most balanced I can ever remember, with seemingly every team having at least a couple guys worth watching. My favorite to watch, which I know isn’t your question, is Ja, he’s just athletically incredible. A few years ago, when he was still at Murray, they played at EKU when both were still in the OVC. That night my son, who was going to EKU at the time, called me raving about ‘the most incredible athlete he’d ever seen in person,’ which was saying something, because I had taken him to a lot of pro sporting events as he grew up. He was, of course, talking about Ja.

But back on topic, if I had to pick one, and you can make a case for a number of them, I think I’d go with Giannis. The only possible flaw in his game is his ourside shooting, which he has improved. And I just don’t see how you ever, ever stop him from getting to the rim when he really wants to. This can be a golden era for the NBA, I hope they don’t screw it up.
