56. "For the record, no one here's arguing that Dray is the GOAT defender." In response to In response to 54
Dray's the only one saying it, but why wouldn't he argue for himself? Given what we know about the dude's personality, it makes total sense, lol.
What many people are arguing (including myself) is that he's the most influential defender of his era, which... is pretty unquestionably true imo. The success of Golden State's small ball lineup has shifted the game away from traditional big men entirely. And if you're a three-time title winner who's impacted the entire NBA... I think that merits HOF inclusion.
I also don't think we have to argue Draymond shouldn't be in the Hall because Ben isn't in the Hall. I think you make a compelling case to put Ben in the Hall.
