You might as well have said Deandre Jordan and you would've been more correct

Who am I? (the most skilled player ever)

Jordan's work ethic was very well-documented. He perfected his craft. Definitely in the elite tier of "skill", ever.

But... I think we have to realize his staggering advantages have even more to do with his supreme talent. Imho he is the most talented ball player I have ever seen. His improvisational body control, raw athletic specs, strength, quickness, hops, balance... his giant hands... he had so many natural advantages. Great skill, better/more effective player than Kobe, but imho less skilled.

[Prometheus]

Curry is high up there for sure but basketball is much more than just shooting you have to factor in everything.

Yeah, definitely.

He's arguably the GOAT moving without the ball.

He's mentioned in the same breath as Kyrie Irving as a ball-handler, and deservedly so.

He's a tremendous passer and playmaker, perhaps not elite but very good.

And... he isn't just a great shooter. He's the best shooter ever by A LOT. His shooting ability is transformative. People look at the game differently, play the game differently because of Steph Curry. His 35-foot shot is respected. Have you become numb to that?

The guy is the size of an average lean, athletic adult. And he had - perhaps - the greatest offensive season ever.

If you don't think he deserves a nomination as the most skilled player in history, I would love to hear your argument.

His skills don’t translate as the stakes get higher


Being skilled means being able to dominate in all levels of the NBA, not just the regular season


He can shoot from 35 feet in the regular season but can’t make a behind the back pass in the Finals??

No Kareem???
Talk about big man, Yao has one of the best skills also

Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton?

No Scottie Pippen?

Sorry, your list has no credibility at all.
Don't just list out the players you "remember", this is crap job.

[Round Mound]

[B]No Charles Barkley? At 6

The fact you forgot T-Mac makes this list void. T-Mac may be the most pure skilled player of all time.

[DaHeezy]

If you list off all basic basketball skills T-Mac may be the only person all-time that checks off every single box.

Which shows OP doesn't know his shit and made an obvious attempt to make yet another MJ slurpfest thread

[Mr.GOAT2408]

It's not the worst list, I'd put Kobe at #1 (only skillz MJ was obviously better) but Bird should be higher and LeBron should barely crack the top 25. Come on bruh

[Phenith]

The fact you forgot T-Mac makes this list void.

I was going to say the same thing about Grant Hill, that guy was all skill, barely looked like he was trying when he played.
Hill is one of those guy I really wish never got injured, we as fans missed out there.
