Greatest Peaks Series: Larry Bird
Thinking Basketball by Ben Taylor is IMO one of the best channels on YouTube. More people should really watch and listen to his breakdowns of game video. He is a very basketball analytics but also watches a ton of film to make his analyses.
The way he breaks down Larry Legend's passing is really something. Anyways this should back up my claim on previous threads for Larry as the second greatest passer ever after Magic. Seeing plays before they happen was Larry's forte.

Re: Greatest Peaks Series: Larry Bird
His scouting report on past players is the most in depth analysis I've ever seen, dude is a true legend. I believe he has LeBron over Jordan on the GOAT list as well.

He ranked MJ as his #1 peak with Lebron #5 IIRC. And for what it's worth he said that if MJ played several additional seasons and didn't retire he'd be comfortably #1 in CORP as well but that he can't give him credit for something he didn't do. And I agree with that.
His analysis is completely devoid of any accomplishments or awards and only looks at basketball impact. It relies a lot on WOWY. I'm not a huge fan of ON/OFF and Plus-Minus stats anyways but they have their merit. Besides his point with every ranking is with ranges. He refuses to make any definitive statements and would give the highest and lowest ranking for a particular player.

You think 1987_Lakers ever takes the time to dissect anything? His mission, like every other Bran stan, is to diminish from MJ's legacy. Just look at his posts.

I was just stating a fact, why are you so triggered? The guy in the vid has LeBron as the GOAT, deal with it.

HBK's posts are predictable and annoying, but at least he makes a point, however stupid it may be, and he generates content.
Axe's posts are just empty gibberish and emojis.
He's like a neighbors dog that always barking. You don't know what the hell it wants, and why it never stops.

Suddenly brings up baldan out of the blue when it's completely unnecessary, just like many king kong stans in this board lol. And so what's the point if the critic had king kong over a frail goat like baldan? Nobody even asked. I don't understand it anymore.

That sorry ass post came from a shitty propaganda thread made by the biggest insecure dork in this board, wherein i continue to rent free inside his dickhead (despite not following him from thread to thread), just like how baldan does it to you too.
Good job digging that lame shit but i'm still very much alive and kicking atm.

It didn't take much digging to be honest, it was one of the biggest threads of October.

Yeah but for what purpose tho? To get me and the other jizzrag banned/off in this site? Too bad it never happened. So it was an epic failure.
