My list puts him just outside top 10, with an argument at 11th:
- Michael Jordan
- Kobe Bryant
- Dwyane Wade
- George Gervin
- James Harden
- Clyde Drexler
- Tracy McGrady
- Ray Allen
- Reggie Miller
- Vince Carter
Thoughts?
Probably at 11. If we just talk about pure shooting then he’s easily top 5 all time
For pure shooting I’d rate him 2nd behind Curry
After seeing some other comments, I think I’d rate him around 12-13th, behind Dumars and tied with Booker (although I think Booker will finish his career ahead of Klay)
Booker gonna pass klay and like half of the guys on this list when hes done
I’d have to agree He just needs to win a championship to cement his legacy, otherwise he’s just gonna turn into T-Mac
Klay’s a shadow of what he once was. He’s only shooting 42% FG’s & 34% 3-Pt range. At what point does he become a role player? He’s a catch & shoot guy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Klay, but injuries & age have caught up with him. It’s a young man’s game.
If you really value RANGZ than maybe but I’d absolutely have all 10 guys you listed ahead of Klay as individual players
No
wonder if theres a period after he retires where people start to look fondly on harden, maybe he ends his career with good pr
top 15
1 jordan
2 bryant
3 wade
4 harden
5 miller
6 gervin
7 drexler
8 ginobili
9 allen
10 iverson
11 hardaway
11 carter
12 mcgrady
13 booker
14 thompson
15 petrovic
Not a bad list, I’d disagree with Miller and Ginobili’s placement but otherwise I’d agree (McGrady over Carter as well perhaps)
Hardaway was a PG I counted Iverson as a PG as well (arguable)
No Manu?
I’d honestly have to rate Klay over Manu because he scores more, has more defensive accolades, is more efficient, and is just as successful
I think Manu’s argument is that he was a better passer/dribbler
