34. "Guys with FMVPs are hard to leave off" In response to In response to 32
I mean, you can leave off Iggy given the rest of his resume
But if you have 5+ All Star appearances, any all NBA honors, and a FMVP? It's going to probably put you on this list - both Pierce and Worthy have those.
Kawhi...well, almost nobody has his resume. 2 DPOYs, 2 FMVPs, 5x all star, 3x first team, 3x first all defense, 4x all defense 2nd team...very very hard to leave him off. It's like Giannis - it's just too good of a resume to leave off, even as weird as it feels to include newish players.
That's why so many take issue with AD and Dame I guess. It's LIKELY they'll end up in this pantheon - but it's hard to say they're there now.
