 What's the word y'all the NBA offseason is officially here outside of drafting trading summer league Are the offseason the very weird spot for me because I slowly lose my mind day in and day out Three different things are very very normal for every single offseason for the past five years of my life the first one Like I said, I'm going mentally insane because the next meaningful place of NBA basketball is what four months from now Like I that is a very long time So I'm going a little bit insane the second thing is I start to overthink everything I know about basketball Which is never a good thing majority of this video is revolving around me overthinking something that doesn't need to be overthought But I'm doing it welcome to the Kenny for real channel And then the last thing that the offseason brings me is me going to youtube and typing in NBA full game Because I need my fix and I be looking for the most random game. Don't get me game 7 and NBA finals I understand the stakes now give me some random regular season game in January that do not matter And I watched a couple of those one of them being actually a random regular season game in April No, 2011 April it was between the Chicago Bulls because I'll be honest Which I was looking to watch some MVP there grows a high definition So MVP there grows versus Orlando, and I'm like, this is David versus Goliath. You got MVP there grows You got a Dwight power Dwight how she's Dwight Howard who was in his prime at this moment I click on this video and find out Dwight Howard was injured for it So I thought to myself with this game still be worth watching and it was it was only a three-point game And when you go back and watch a game from 11 years ago 10 years ago you forget about some people and forget about how good they really were Ryan Anderson had a little stretch with bro is a Hooper Hooper Um jason richerson dog jamir nosen one time on star dog and then they had people coming off the bench like um Earl Clark whose name I haven't heard in like a couple years So I'm telling you if you need a fix type in NBA full game and just just use the mouse wheel And go towards the bottom and find the game that you want to know existed and you're gonna have a lot of fun All right, so um to the catalyst for today's video. Like I said, it's me overthinking. Um, save father's day and you know People see me and they know what I do. We talk of family. We was talking friends And then the first thing they usually do is talk about basketball. It makes sense That's the one if you don't know anything about Kenny, you know what his job is You know that he talks basketball So let me spark up a conversation about basketball even if I'm not a huge basketball fan and somebody Um asked me stefa curry pretty good, right? I'm like, yeah, this is great You know first finals of vp bro asked me So what does that have him ranked if he knew what he was doing to my brain? If he knew what he was about the he made me overthink for like four hours straight Trying to figure out where does this put stefa curry? This is not anything new Um, we even talked about it for on our podcast for a little bit And it seems like every other podcast and every writer out there is writing about stefa curry And after this this previous championship, where does that put him all time? And you know me if actually if you can go through the history to shop There's probably four different videos from four different seasons four different years While I put my opinion on blasts about ranking players and what I will say is every single season I believe something different at the beginning. I hated the idea of ranking players I'm like, why do we need to compare these all-time greats? Can we just accept that they're both great? And I think you can accept that they're both great Well also saying this player had a better career or this player was a better basketball player And that's kind of where I am right now. I'm I don't mind ranking players As long as the person you are ranking it to or the people you are ranking it to realize that It's your own personal subjective opinion You know that won't go over the top and get too upset about you ranking If you can have a community that doesn't really care and just want to hear you talk hoops beautiful Anyway, um, candidly speaking before this NBA championship I think I had and I don't have my own personal Kenny for reals top 100 players of all time But I believe that I had Steph Curry in the range of like 13 through 20 Let's just say and does this get Steph Curry to a top 10 player of all time is the real question So bro asked me this at the cookout and I think to just kind of get away from it So I can think I said, hey, he's he's top 10 now without even really thinking about it My my initial reaction with Steph Curry is a top 10 player of all time And nobody can argue me you can argue that he's not but you can't say that I'm completely bugging You can't say that that I'm living on Mars or something because the resume speaks for itself We have four championships two of two unanimous MVP's a finals MVP and the all-time greatest shooter in the history of basketball A guy that has changed the way the game has been playing currently and for the future That sounds like somebody that's top 10 It's not that easy to say he is top 10 because well somebody has to fall out And the real question is who do you put Steph Curry against to drop them out if you're putting Steph Curry in And then when I start thinking about that that made me think even more and and this is the number one thing in my list Or not list. I made I made notes ladies and gentlemen. I was at the I was at the cookout I went I went lolly gad you know talking to family and friends anymore I was solely thinking about making this video to talk about who switch off We'll make something like this impossible. Let's let's take two players that That are at least in the realm of top 10 in most people eyes. Let's take Bill Russell Let's take Stephen Curry. It is for me. Can he beat him? Almost impossible To rank one player over the other and here's why if we strictly going on talent undoubtedly It is Stephen Curry I was watching the video by youtuber. His name is hoop vision 68. Shout out to him He doesn't upload a tumble when he does upload its very high quality content So like I said the name of the videos I watched maybe a game from every decade go check it out Uh, hopefully I'll remember to put the link in the description He decided to talk about this narrative that is in the in the 60s Nobody can dribble the ball So we decided to sit there and count every single ball that was dribbled in the first quarter in the 1963 NBA finals There was 180 dribbles of the ball Only 22 of them was with the left hand 22 22 percent of dribbles were at the left hand y'all So obviously the skill level is on a whole other level in today's game Because we have players that can dribble With more than one hand and if you want to see the comparison, this is what it looks like in 2022 It's almost a 50-50 split because people understand that I need to be able to dribble both hands in order to be successful in today's game We're also we're also talking about an error that the jump shot basically wasn't even invented yet So how can I compare bill russell versus Stephen curry now you might look at that and say oh stefa curry is there to be over him just off that alone But I don't think that's necessarily true because the impact that bill russell had in the time Was legendary and this is my this is my alternative to just ranking NBA players And this is what kenny beachham is going to do I am going to be ranking NBA players based on the error that they performed in so bill I don't have the errors labeled out just yet. You know what I'm saying? Like I said, I want to be thinking about this a couple hours and yes, this is way more work But you know who I am where I uploaded over 50 youtube videos a month work is what I do But like putting NBA players versus the people in their own era because That's where their competition was so undoubtedly bill russell is like the greatest player of the 1960s as he should be He dominated this era, but I can't just say all of he played in 2022 He wouldn't be able to dominate when in reality when we're talking about the upper echelon of athlete I'm a firm believer that majority of these athletes can dominate at any different error Because they'd be able to adapt their game adapt their game to whatever was working at the time It's unfair to step to compare him and bill russell's rings But it's unfair to build to compare him and step curry's talent. It was just completely two different things The only thing that's similar between 1963 and 2022 basketball is the objective is to put the ball in the circle and prevent the other team from doing the same Everything else about the game is completely different also realized that it's probably not us. Is it a cylinder? Is it a circle? You understand what i'm saying scored the ball prevent the other team from scoring Everything else is completely different from the way it's officiated to the way the game is played The hook shot was the greatest thing of all time How many hook shots do you see in NBA basketball today? It's less than one percent of shots and back then it was like 70 percent of shots You know, this is a different game So it's hard for me to compare these different players But if somebody asks me on the street is Steph Curry top 10, I'll probably say yes And then if they ask me the next question, who's your near top 10? That's why I draw the line because are we being serious right now? Are you being serious? Um, either way, that's that's just the only thing that's been on my mind right now Um, and I guess the the next part of this is trying to figure out what errors are How do we determine an error our error errors? Damn, that's gonna be so hard to say because we have errors errors our errors Decided by the style of play. I think style of play Might be the easiest way to determine an error You got the jump shot error is what we would currently be in with Steph Curry dominating the previous era Can't even say the mid-range area error because 90s kind of see that as well or should it be labeled by who is dominated in that era? You know I'm saying should it be the Bill Russell era? Should it be the Michael Jordan era? You know I'm saying should it just be named after whoever the top dog was of that that time? How do we didn't what do we cut it off when that player is no longer number one? I don't know again. I'm overthinking all of these things and yes one thing that did come into my mind Can a person rank across multiple eras? Absolutely a person can rank across multiple errors because I would I would argue that we are currently in an error shift We're we're leaving the last error and we're going into this next one where players are coming in at 19 years Oh regularly and immediately jumping into keys keys to the team and turning into dominant NBA players earlier than they've ever been So we'll have a guy like LeBron James who absolutely dominated whatever his error was But he's still ranking his current error because even though he's 37 years old He's still one of the best players in the league. So I do believe I think that can show the longevity of NBA player And the all-time greatness if you can rank across multiple errors. I don't know. I'm just again I'm just thinking of loud and it's just fun. So is Steph Curry top 10 of all time? Sure. Yeah So be it, you know, I'll go with a yes on that who you're knocking out. Don't ask me my boy You ask me my top 10. I'm giving you 15 different names because that's my pool Um, but I do believe that ranking across errors would be super fun even just for a project for me I I'm not trying to convince you to do the same thing again. This is just me talking Um, but I think that's something I might do If I won't go all the way back to the 60s though I'm gonna take someone else's word on who was dominating the 60s and say you did it But like once we get to I don't know mid 80s until now I think I could do that research. I could do that research But let me let me know what you think about all these things man Where do you personally rank Steph Curry if it is that easy for you? How do you compare him to Bill Russell? What if you do have one list and you're confident and in your list How did you compare Bill to Steph Curry or Steph Curry to Will Chamberlain? That's another player that was dominating and that was way early on and actually will chamberlain got better counting stats Than Bill even though he ain't got the same amount of rings. So how did you compare? How do you personally compare the current era NBA players versus the previous eras and is it that easy and why is it so easy? I'll see tomorrow
