    Best



    Transition scorer Lebron

    White defensive player American- Hinirch; Overall- AK47

    Shooter over 6’5” Dirk

    Ball handler over 6’7” Tmac

    Passing 4(let’s say majority of career at that position) Webber the easy answer but I really only caught the tail end; I'll switch it up and say Pau. or Horford

    Perimeter defender Tony Allen

    Screen game defender any size Maybe recency bias but Jrue

    Eurostep Manu- I feel like he invented it but idk; Wade's was perhaps more effective

    Spot up shooter Korver

    Slasher vs a set defense Wade

    I actually forgot Klay was tall as he is but Klay/KD/Dirk/Bird is a question depending on what one means by “shooter” I suppose.

    That man could really blow up a screen game. He and Noah should have been together at their peaks. They would just erase modern offense.

    Best



    Transition scorer - Lebron

    White defensive player - AK47

    Shooter over 6’5” - Dirk

    Ball handler over 6’7” - Grant Hill

    Passing 4(let’s say majority of career at that position) - Chris Webber

    Perimeter defender - Tony Allen, Gary Payton or Scottie Pippen. Others are close.

    Screen game defender any size - Joakim Noah. Targeting him with PnR actually benefited the Bulls defense. He was that good.

    Eurostep - Manu

    Spot up shooter - Either Kerr, Klay or Korver.

    Slasher vs a set defense - Wade

    Some are pretty obvious to me while there are tons of great perimeter defenders over the years for example.

    Not a fan but PG and kyrie's games are smooth as hell. Fox was just too fast and Giannis powerful.
