Greatest Peaks Ep. 7 | David Robinson 1994-96
Added 2020-12-28 14:01:01 +0000 UTCEarly look at episode 7 and one of the more overlooked players of the 3-point era. I think the '92 and '93 are fairly close, although there's a little extra scoring polish and passing in these seasons that brings them to the top.

smh Mohamed plz watch to the end before you comment
2021-01-04 21:24:15 +0000 UTCRobinson is the only player who I believe would be widely considered as the GOAT if he had a #1 option by his side. If he had Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to carry the offensive load next to him, he wins 5 titles easily by scoring 23 PPG, 15 Reb, 5 AST, and DPOY defense.
2021-01-03 18:38:14 +0000 UTCI love the focus on all-time greats who had massive defensive value (defensive #1's) but were offensive hybrids better utilized as #2 options or 1B options on offense. This framework of expanding the notion of #1 options to account for offensive and defensive impact gives much better tools to evaluate overall player impact. I love this. So excited to see the KG episode!!!!!!
2021-01-01 20:46:38 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this!!
2021-01-01 20:12:39 +0000 UTCI would love to do GOAT teams. It wouldn't be my next historical project but it's on my list.
2021-01-01 17:43:36 +0000 UTCWill there possibly be a greatest team peaks in the future? Love all your work btw!
2021-01-01 08:03:55 +0000 UTCmy wild prediction is that KG (03-04) goes before Duncan (02-03) too, for similar anti- popular narrative(?) purposes π€

2020-12-30 05:11:49 +0000 UTCYeah but Ben said it'd be chronological order, just weird he did drob first
2020-12-29 22:09:41 +0000 UTCI may be misremembering, I just read it in the dream team basketball book ill have a look
2020-12-29 22:06:46 +0000 UTCHakeem is '93-95. The videos go in *roughly* chronological order. There will be a bit more jumping around in time after Hakeem.
2020-12-29 22:05:40 +0000 UTCHave you ever seen that confirmed? There was a trade rumor back in '88 or something around MJ IIRC but don't think anything after Phil was real...
2020-12-29 22:04:09 +0000 UTCThe comment was posted before I watched the Robinson video lol
2020-12-29 01:23:46 +0000 UTCHakeem is the next one lol. Yall need to watch til the very end
2020-12-28 23:58:12 +0000 UTCIf you wait until the very end of the video, it implies Hakeem will be the focus of the next video.
2020-12-28 23:35:44 +0000 UTCNo way Hakeem's left out. Definitely strange he was skipped. I guess Ben's got a narrative he wants to tell.
2020-12-28 22:15:42 +0000 UTCI'm curious which years Hakeem's video will cover, or if there will be a Hakeem video at all, since I thought he'd be next after MJ lol
2020-12-28 20:30:04 +0000 UTCHakeem video is next.
2020-12-28 19:05:19 +0000 UTCI read that in 91 or 92 there were rumours the bulls would trade Jordan straight up for Drob
2020-12-28 18:21:13 +0000 UTCI think Russell and the admiral are closer than many would realise, infact thats what many compared him to as a rookie, Pat Riley said he was "the spitting image of Russell" (in terms of playstyle)
2020-12-28 18:20:23 +0000 UTCHakeem should be 93-95. This is an odd omission.
2020-12-28 17:59:04 +0000 UTCThis was super interesting, and the late career Admiral-Bill Russell comparison was fun: superstar bigs with all time level impact without a dominant scoring game. But also, we've reached the era of the 3 point era monster bigs! Admiral, Hakeem, Shaq, Timmy, KG... HYPEEEE
