We are going to pick every single NBA goat that is in the league right now. What I mean by that is, every single player that is a goat at something. It can be a skill, it can be a trait, it can be anything you want, someone who's the best to ever do it

in the NBA that is currently in the league. Donovan, you go first. We all have a list of potential goats. Donovan, who's up first on your list? First on my list, Kauai Leonard is the greatest scammer in NBA history. I wrote, I wrote Kauai Leonard is the greatest employee of all times.

Because he gets mad PTO, doesn't provide shareholder value, sticks it to the man, takes advantage of corporations and policies. I want to be him. He is the greatest gamer of all time. Wow. He shows up to work whenever he wants. He gets a raise anytime he asks for it. He lives in one of the two biggest cities in the country.

He's at home, at the crew. He works from home. It's crazy. You be working from home. If you work in corporate America, you should strive every day when you wake up, you look at the sky, you see the stars. I mean, you see the sun out, think about how can I be more like Kauai Leonard? Been put on mad, mad of performance, performance evaluation plans does not matter.

Does not matter. He's the greatest gamer in NBA history. Okay. Naturally, shooter. We got Steph Curry. Is there anything better? How can we specify that? He's also the most audacious shooter of all time.

He's the biggest jackass of all time in my mind. Because when he, like, let it rip, he's going to go ahead and or a farm. And on top of that, too, he's going to disrespect you while also, like, not looking at the room sometimes when he shoots as well. Also, Steph Curry is undoubtedly the greatest orer farmer of all time. If there's a game being played, he's on a court, it's on TV. He knows exactly where that camera is. And he knows exactly which emote to pull out at the right time.

The same time, now, I had, I had LeBron as the greatest clip farmer of all time. I think Seth Curry, I think Seth Perry's got him beat. I don't know. Steph Curry screams strategically. Once LeBron put on Wendell Carter, he's like, why don't I do that, though?

He's the greatest millennial humor of all time. Oh, I can't see. Such a millennial. Like, that was the exact same as Kelsey Plum eating popcorn on the stand. Yep, yep, yep.

You said, Steph, let's stay and go to state. I got Dremont Green as the greatest LeBron Glazer of all time. Oh, he's got Jubey. We're having conversations. conversations about...

He doesn't got you beat. Bro, he talked... I would never do this. He was in a press conference talking about how sad he had to miss the birth of his daughter. Yes, to play a game. To play a game.

Last year or two years ago, he missed a whole game to watch LeBron James beat the scoring record. That is unparamount levels of glaze. Hold on you cooking. What do you mean you miss the birth of your child

to watch something that's rewatchable across all services? You miss the birth of your child but not LeBron scoring against... Who do you mean? play again? Okay, see. He didn't he didn't miss it, but he said he

would have missed a game. So he, so theoretically, yeah, theoretically he would have, he would have missed his, his child's birth, but not LeBron's breaking up. Okay. The judge still stands. You should have never said in your entire life. He still has that thought. That should have never happened.

You know what? He is the greatest glazer. And you don't even got to enact all glaze. Just a thought of that much glaze is worthy. Like, I just, I also were down on the series. No, Jeremy on Green is the greatest small ball center of all time. Very true. Best small ball defender. I don't think anybody across history besides maybe if Robin played today, he'd be a better

small ball center. Or I don't know if you consider Ben Wallace small ball. He's kind of like, bam. He's a center. But in terms of power forwards, I can play center, he's the greatest small ball defender of all time. Gotcha. Try to balance out some serious ones. Okay. I think Kahn-Antie Towns is one of, is not one of.

I think he is the best fake passer in NBA history. Fake? Yeah. Yes. Also, the best facial expression. all time by far yes when you talk about staring down before the no look that's car ante towns his bag when it talks about doing random like making a pass look harder than it actually

is that is his bag i think that is that is his lane and he has owned it and he has that title may not be the best shooting big of all time i'm still going to give that to dirk he can have the best fake passer surprise surprise the alana hawks are the greatest and bid team of all time bray they have a 49% win percentage in the history of their organization, bro. Over the last six years, they have a record of 215 wins and 210 losses. That should change up and balance out within the next two weeks, bro. Greatest mid of all time. That's fair.

It is fair. I have two to pair together because we're getting to behavioral science. Chris Paul, the greatest rage baiter of all time. Yo, that is facts. No one's better at rage baiting getting under someone's skin than Chris Paul. He knows exactly which buttons to push. it might make him a terror to be around because it probably bleeds into other parts of his life

but on the court greatest rage bed here to pair with that Janus is the greatest gaslighter of all time the PR spend he's trying to do right now trying to convince people that he doesn't want to trade that he's all for the team while clearly leaking that he wants to trade and setting up calls between the bucks and the Knicks

and making stuff happen behind the scenes he wants his cake and he wants to eat it too he's the worst kind of star that wants to have the best case scenario doesn't want to be the villain but wants to do some villainous shit I've been saying this man Yeah, but it's clear now. This year he's earned that title.

Very, very true. Thank you. Very, very true. All right. You want to go? Devin Booker is also on my list, on my, on my list, spiritually, best franchise player of all time. Okay, just down for the causal. Just down for whatever, won't say anything.

It's just going to show up. I'm going to play these games in this uniform. I'm down for rebuilds. I'm down for retools. I'm down for wins. I'm down for losses. Whatever it is, I'm here And I'm not going to say anything

But just know we're locked in He might be the greatest Phoenix fan of all time Because clearly he just rocks with the city He doesn't want to move Yeah That is true bro But hey, you pay me $70 million I'm gonna rock with whatever city too

You see those commercials Like the Knicks have the visit Abu Dhabi on their jersey They're representing like a nation Yeah He could do that he can do commercials for Phoenix You can be on the tourism Tourism board

He really get Come visit Devin Booker My next one I got Paulo Bencaro He is the greatest sweater of all time, bro. You guys remember, like, a couple of years ago? I think it was, this article came out

when he was in Duke or whatever. He would drop, like, seven pounds a game, and he would have to be given this specifically special-made fluid to help preserve some of that weight and sweat and water that his body just naturally gives up. You never see that. I never hear about that. Apparently LeBronles is losing, like, 30 pounds a game

on the Miami Heat. That's 30 pounds is OD. He might be the real greatest sweater. I don't know, but in the modern NBA right now, so far, Paul got you. Speaking of LeBron, he's the greatest player of all time. We know that. We buried the lead.

Greatest player of all time is in the league right now. I got a few other categories for LeBron James. Okay. Greatest father of all time, LeBron James. First NBA father to play with the son. He has to be the greatest NBA father of all time. You're not lying. Not even close.

Greatest influence to young men of all time. Got to be LeBron James. Okay. And on that note. You're right. Greatest face of the NBA of all time, LeBron James. Nobody else has ever been this positive while be in the face. Do you think Jordan was this positive?

You think Jordan was as good for the league? No, he had his ups and his downs. LeBron, no controversies. Greatest face in the league history. Been carrying water for every sports media company for 20 years. Greatest billionaire in NBA history, LeBron James. He has bags everywhere. The best moral billionaire, LeBron James in the league.

Greatest podcaster in NBA history, LeBron James. He did. He's been cooking up some heat with JJ Redigo, or at least he did a couple years ago. Now he's carrying Steve Nash in a podcasting game. Yeah, yeah, you're right. His greatest carry jobs in 2018. all up I can keep going I got I don't have any more for the run actually you took he took the fucking cake god damn I want for Kevin Durant though Kevin Durant is the greatest liar in the history

of the sport why because he told pre-drafts for some reason he told everyone yeah bro I'm like I'm 610 I'm 610 6 10 I'm 6 10 6 9 thought the entirety of his career up until like people got good with the cameras and when people actually started like locking in and seeing how he matched up against guys in Team USA back in 2016. He was like, yo, this motherfucker's biggest Deodont of Jordan. Holy shit, he's the same height as DeMarcus cousins. He is not 6'10.

He's seven foot. Photography, advancements, exposed. Kevin Naran is a liar. You are a big man, accept it. Yeah, exactly, buddy. I also wrote down Kevin Durant is the greatest three-level score of all time. Easily. Rim, mid-range, three-point combined.

Probably easily the greatest three-level score until Shay comes for that title in a couple years. Okay. Fair. I Amin Thompson is the best

MMA fighter in the league Okay James Johnson is no longer But of all time Mm-hmm Hey, Metterworld peace You better take this back

to the drum board My I might stand on that On the On the short list Mm-hmm Greatest jumper Shading Sharp is up there

For just jumping Okay Shaden Sharp Mapproclung Oh okay okay Okay No I think Shaden Sharper is

is a better jumper than him. Not Dunker. Just jumper? Yeah, just jumper. I think that Shady Sharp is on the short list of of best jumpers up there. Does Anthony Edwards have a claim

for goat posterizer? Not just yet. I need to see a little bit more. He's past his prime now. It's done. The resume's stamped. It's over. But for what he has now,

those like six or seven crazy posters, can he compete with Vince Carter? No. If we have a versus top 10 for top 10, I don't know if Anthony Edwards might be able to push anybody. Nah, Vince. Vince is kind of different.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Vince is where we have to start going towards Vince. I think if we had a top five, his top five can go up against anybody's top five. Okay. But once you start extending it out, Vince has 10 and 15. And the top of the ones is like, Vince is jumping over somebody.

Anthony Edwards literally concussed him. So you have those two things going as like band for band with each other. That's where the, that's what the argument would be. I don't yeah I don't know but 10 10 is a lot I got one more I think I'm speaking ahead of myself right now but give it maybe a year and a half

two years from now I'm saying it early I think Nicole Yoked is going to be the greatest foreign of all time he already is better than Hakeem like all time right now oh yeah

that's what makes it dicey but I think he will you know what he already is how about now how about that how about that he already is I think he's going to get to that he already is See?

I started and you finish it. Go ahead and glaze. So Yokish is the greatest offensive big man of all time. He's the greatest passer of all time for his center. He might be the greatest offensive player of all time.

He, what else could I say? He's the best Eastern European player of all time as goes without saying. He's the best, I say this would love, fat player of all time. He's the best wide NBA player

of all time. I don't think that's close. He smokes Barclay. No, Shaq. I think he's fatter than Shaq. When Shaq got fat, he wasn't good. Yokic is at his peak when he's fat. I think the fact that Shaq was in his prime and they were saying you're coming into camp out of shape.

He had a lot more muscle, though. He wasn't spiritually as fat as Yokic. Yeah, Yokch is more like, he has no muscle density. He really has no muscle. But I don't think that that's, that's not, that's different than fat though. No, it's not. Yes, it is. I think having more muscle makes you inversely less fat, spiritually, like, you know, for what a fat player is.

I know, I know what you're saying. Like, just physics. Like, if you gain that much weight, like, he's not 500 pounds. Who would have more body fat if they were to do like a Dexas guy? Yoakins, duh. It would be yokeet. So I guess by that definition, he's fat. Listen, I have no idea what the number.

I have no idea with the numbers. The number six would be. He has like, I mean, Shaq was like 600 pounds. Day of him six. What else that we're done? Are we going to say this? What?

Is Victim Woman Yama the greatest shot blocker of all time? We're on that path. It's early and I'm ready to say it. Like, not defensive player. anything like obviously like akim duncan have like the post defense they're more mature better IQ just blocking shots getting your hand on the ball adjusting for error

if he played in the 90s and everybody was packing the paint trying to do contested layups he'd average 9 a game adjusting for era and because this is just based off of any type of like history that you he probably has bill russell beat but like we have to see like because they weren't like keeping that stat but that's probably

like one and two yeah it's him and bill russell players pre-20 had so much easier of a job blocking shots, especially pre-2000, they were just feeding you block opportunities non-stop. Yeah. Nineties basketball was four guys in the paint, everybody trying to shoot over them.

Like, it truly was for the pickings. Mark Eden had the easiest block through his life comparatively. Not you're saying he's a fraud? No, I'm saying if Wemby was there, he would double Mark Eden. Oh, speaking of frauds, I got the greatest, literally,

greatest fraud, felony, convict of all time. Glenn, Big Baby, Davis. There's no one who's in the NBA history who's ever had the most successful career. he hasn't he been indicted just yet and also i think glenn davis has like a more respectable career too okay this is a different conversation i want to get into because some other guys are gone indicted as a wait that we're not going to talk about that that's fair jerry mccain obviously greatest ticotker of all time oh without a doubt getting the belt yeah he got it oh yeah yeah yeah uh cp3 greatest lop thrower of all time

oh that's luca might be up there i think that's fair i think that's fair i'm thinking about james hardin as Well, yeah, I'm fine with that. I think he, for what he started and how he popularized that, yeah, he got it. I'll go one further. My last one, Luca Donchich, greatest pick and roll ball handler of all time. Okay. All right. You know what?

Better than Hardin? Yep. He has a mid-range game. That is true. He does have more counters than Hardin. he has more versatile passing too he jumps over people he gets double team jumps over them and throws us get past to the corner

so I'm starting to think that his passes are a little bit overrated because he literally just to like the game plan is for you just always be there I'm gonna throw in the exact same spot every time this is a new thing where these teams now are trying to do this whole thing let him score don't let the Twitter people convince you don't let the okayc fans convince you that he's overrated as a passer I think he is a little bit overrated no it's just teams just don't let him do it now because he's that great

it's like rudigableness and black shots anymore stuff like that. They didn't even try. I think how he gets to the passes, he's the greatest at. Like those angles that he hits and how we contorts his body and whatnot and he genuinely has like no idea where he's at.

He's just so good of the pastures. They don't even let him. They don't even let him run drop coverage because it'll be a lob every time. All right. I have a question because I had a category that I knew that it's somebody from this era but I just couldn't nail down somebody.

Greatest player of all time Highlights only And I'm thinking I'm thinking role player right Because obviously like great players can do whatever But it It has to be in this era Because the role players

Just have so much more leeway And they are like they have more skills And can do more things So That is that's that's the category Like I know Payton Pritcher highlight tape Disgust

Yeah right Because he's taking He's taking shots from half court And it's like multiple heaves If you put his half court heaves and the three-point shots that he's been getting on, it looks like 2016 Steph Curry. Yeah.

I don't know about that one. I haven't thought about that. That's hard. I would say there's a moment in time, and if you watch a montage, somewhere over there on YouTube, you would see five minutes of Cam Reddish, some of his Laker practice highlights specifically,

not on the court, not no official game, but practice highlights. And also some highlights of him when he was on a Hawks, you'd be like, whoa, like this guy's easily like top 15 in his position, bare minimum. not even close i will say uh highlights only how yeah highlights only mitcher robinson is the greatest shot blocker of all time okay okay the best versions of him yes okay those 17 minutes

that he can play before before he runs out of breath yeah he got that okay
