Which players you would like me compare?

Hey everyone -- If I were to do a podcast episode that compares 2 superstars, who would you want to hear me discuss? This would expand or explore on any content I've already produced on these players. The idea here is to juxtapose someone against a specific player instead of viewing him in isolation. 

For example, Nash-Paul is an interesting comparison because of the differences in their styles. (Control vs. aggression.) These could be current or past players -- you tell me.

Thanks,

Ben

PS Nate Duncan and I did "Jordan vs. LeBron" already, so anything other than that pairing. Feel free to mention multiple comps you'd like to hear. 

Comments

KD vs Kawhi

Kyrie and Dame

Wilt and Kareem.

I feel like Stockton is already above him without swapping places and having those rings. Seems like the gap would only get larger in his favor putting him on a team like that Detroit group.

This is my favorite. I feel like ben alludes to it in his all time rankings but if KG was on the spurs instead of the timberwolves we would perceive his career so different.

John Stockton and Isiah Thomas. If both players were to swap places, how would it affect their overall value? Dream Team vindication?

Steph Curry vs Shaq basically dominant offensive presence inside vs outisde. How does this warp defenses? How did the league react? Is one necessarily better?

Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson. Arguably the best stat stuffers in NBA history

Duncan and Olajuwon, best bigs in league in their prime

Ben Wallace vs Draymond. Or really, a list of your best defensive bigs ever (and maybe some who are overrated)

Isiah Thomas vs Mark Price

Bird v Durant would be fun. Barkley v Dirk (feel like there's a belief that the 2011 title elevates Dirk over Chuck and Karl, but if LeBron has even an average playoff series for his standards, that point of separation disappears and in terms of talent and production, it may be tighter than people expect)

Curry vs Giannis. The #1 and #2 players in your ranking, the most impactful players in impact #'s. Two stylisically different forces with similar starts o their respective career arcs. Both radically change defences but do so in opposite manners and while one's offence is hilghly portable, the other's defence is highly impacful. This comparison would be epic.

KG v. Tim Duncan
