Craig ain't here. It's a segment we'll be doing all week and this is part one because Craig ain't here. Look at the Tyrone Johnson show logo right there. For these next few minutes, it's for me. All right. Now, and for you guys too, because I know you want to talk about it, but Craig doesn't allow this. So today we're gonna get right to it and we're gonna do, and, and remember, when Craig makes a list, I'm gonna use the same rule as him because it's his rule. There's no debating this list. This is the definitive list, OK? And we're going to do different things each day that are definitive, and there's no argument, so I don't want to see anything in the comments or complaining. This is definitive, and we're doing the top 5 NBA players in order definitively. And let's get to number 5. Number 5 is Steph Curry. Yes, Stephen Curry, the, the, the, the stud from, from Davidson University that changed the whole NBA. In all seriousness, you see the resume, he's got a couple of MVPs. He's got 4 titles. Steph is 5th in large part because of impact on the game. You now have a whole generation of high school Little League coaches who are furious because all Steph does, all every, all the kids want to shoot. Thres like Steph. He has changed the game. No one expected it. And I also have to say that, um, he's, the fact that he's doing, doing this at 38 years old, at the level that he's doing it, not only he's the greatest shooter to ever live, when they talk about genetic freaks, they talked about Julius Peppers, and they talk about LeBron who might come up in his top 5 list in a little while. I'm gonna say it right now. Steph Curry is as big a genetic freak to still be able to shoot the ball from range at his size at his age as anybody to ever play in that league. The first thing to go when you're playing pro sports are the legs. And when the legs go, that, that, that jump shot gets flat. And you know that just from your YMCA days. Anybody out there right now, you go in there to shoot, you know that you got to do a lot of extra effort to get those shots up. He's the 5 greatest player to ever live, Steph Curry. Number 4, Magic Johnson. 3 MVPs, 5 titles. And you know, people forget, he was in his young 30s when he unfortunately got the HIV virus. Um, I have to, I have to wonder, would he have gotten a 6th ring? Would he have gotten a 7th ring? We know he lost his last full season, um, as a, as a player. He lost to Michael Jordan there. Could that have been a little bit of a a rivalry? Magic was not an old man when that happened. He's probably getting forgotten because of the business and his terrible tweets where he'll go, the person who wins this game will be. Indiana will be in the Super Bowl. Like Magic's tweets are more famous than him right now, but Magic Johnson, underrated with this generation. If kids, if you don't know about him, then check up on him, Google him. You can Google that. Um, but definitively, he is the 3rd, uh, 4th greatest player of all time. Number 3, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who does not get nearly enough credit, and I almost made him number 2, to be honest, 6 MVPs and 6 rings. It's just, when they talk about Jordan with his 6 rings, they talk about that all the time. And the reason, but they never talk about it with Kareem. And the reason he's a front of Magic is Magic is one of his titles. People forget, as a rookie, they talk about he jumped center against my Sixers and I've heard about this literally my whole life. If you're not from Philadelphia, you probably don't have the PTSD of it. He was a rookie. Yeah, Kareem was the MVP of the league that year. He's number 2 all-time in points and because he was understated, I think that's why he doesn't get talked about and I still want to know. I know it doesn't quote-unquote look cool. I'm waiting for some big man to do the sky hook. It's completely unblockable. You have to figure at some point, somebody's gonna try to copy this shot. And this is where, uh, the next one, remember, this is a definitive list, so no notes, and I don't want any comments about this. The number 2 basketball player of all time. Is Michael Jordan, #2 all time. And for people out there to think that's somehow an insult, think about how many people have played basketball. Everybody that's watching, everybody that's listening, everybody's played basketball. Of everyone that's ever walked the earth playing the game, saying that someone's 2nd is not an insult, OK. For me, the reason he's 2nd and not 1st, all right, first of all, the 5 MVPs, the 6 titles, 6 and 0. They talk about load management today and people hate load management. Why do we not count his load management a year and a half? OK, the game, it got to be too much for him for a lot of reasons, and he had a low management year and a half. That right there plus his Wizards game, uh, Wizards time, that counts, that moves him down to 2nd. And the number 1 player of all time, a player who's been maligned on this show more than anyone else. Nay, a man who's been maligned more than any athlete to ever live. LeBron James, the #1 player of all time in the NBA, 4-time MVP, all right. 4 NBA titles. Number 1 all-time in scoring, number 4 all-time in assists. Still averaging over 20 points a game at literally, his, I talked to his mama yesterday. Whatever they have him listed, he's actually 53 years old. OK. This man is 53 years old, OK. Don't listen. When people tell you that he's in his 40s, he's 53 years old, still averaging 20 points a game, the most, the most scrutinized player in his entire life. That is the list. Curry, Magic, Kareem, Michael at number one, because Craig ain't here. LeBron James, the number one player of all time, number one of all time.
