Update on LeBron video & voting
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 15:58:47 +0000 UTCHey everyone -- Unfortunately I had some computer issues last week that has impacted the release dates of these final few videos.
- I'm hoping to have LeBron out tomorrow (Wednesday) for Top Tier subscribers, and the final two profiles will be released whenever they are available.
- Next week is still looking like a Tuesday or Wednesday early release for Episode 14, but Episode 15 has been impacted the most by this since it was already going to be tight.
I'll release 15 whenever it's available, and then open the voting for your top-10 multi-year peaks (after 1977).
That voting will be included in the series Finale, so the plan is to keep voting open for about a week and then close it so I can bake the data into the final video. I'll share a link to your ballot and you'll submit responses there. (Yes, you'll be able to choose players who weren't profiled in the series if you want.)
Thanks for the understanding and support.
-Ben

I could see Giannis getting an honorable mention in the series finale.
I would put Duncan on the same category as Hakeem and Durant on the same as MJ/Kobe.
I would bet good money the last 2 are kd and steph tbh. Id be surprised if giannis was in it. If this was made 5 years from now I would guess giannis would be #16 though
I think this is most likely. Ben has Curry's peak higher than Durant's, but I imagine Durant's scoring will be touched on a lot
Have a feeling it's going to be Giannis. Can't see KD on this list
I feel like the list has to be split in separate categories. The big men include: - Shaq and Kareem are beasts down low who can provide good rim protection. - Hakeem is a GOAT level rim protector with elite, inelastic scoring in the playoffs. - Duncan/Walton/Admiral/KG are great two-way big men with immense 5 on 5 value. The perimeter players include: - LeBron/Bird/Magic are triple double playmaking wizards with bodies of power forwards. - MJ & Kobe are GOAT level iso scorers at SG who have complete all-around games. - KD is a 6'11", portable, GOAT-level iso scorer at SF. - Curry is the most disruptive offensive player in NBA history with his long range bombing/handle/finishing/play-making combination of skills. I'm going to need a pot of coffee for this...
Steph was already counted in that as the 14th player. There will be one more and if I had to guess it will be KD because he is more portable than Giannis.
Like 90% sure it’s Steph
14: KD 15: Steph

> you'll submit responses there I think what Ben's saying by responses is our lists. I don't think he's particularly asking for reasons.
I guess the 15th episode will be the wrap it up type of episode with honourable mentions (Dirk, Nash, Wade, KD, etc.) and without a new player for consideration.
I don't know if I'm more excited for the LeBron peak video or finding out who the 15th player is going to be! My hope is 08-09 Wade, although I could see KD, Giannis, or even Harden as well.
Damn, I want to force his hand now. AI it is.
I'll have to answer questions??? This makes the voting 5 times more stressful! You trying to give me an heart attack!
I wasn't, but now I feel like a have no choice
I have a feeling there will be a lot of people choosing AI as having a top 10 peak just to get on your nerves...
