That was a wasted year for AD, thrown off by all the agent vs front office shit.

Still doesn't change that one could definitely argue, right today, that AD is the better player. If you prioritize a player's ability to shoot the ball-- which definitely matters in the playoffs-- then I totally get why you'd think AD is the better player.

I'm not saying *I'd* say AD is the better player, necessarily. Giannis's last two seasons, as you noted, have been beastly. But I think AD is the more skilled player. And I think that matters for a lot of people when debating "who's better."
