Here's the thing - one of the biggest challenges he faced from day one is being drafted in the same draft class as Bron who is a top three player of all time. 2002 and it's Yao/Jay Will. If it's 2004, it's Dwight and Emeka.

The second thing is he could have, if he really wanted to, joined up on a real super team and likely got a chip. For better or worse, he didn't.

I still contend that if the 2009 WCF are played 10x, I think the Nugs win at least 4x or 5x of those times. They should have def won game 1. That series was close. Nugs would have beaten the Magic. He wins that one and his whole career is looked at differently.

He is a top 10 scorer of all time. He is a top 75 player of all time. He had the greatest one year stop in college of all time. He helped restore US Men's Olympic Team basketball.

He is a first ballot, no question, hall of famer.

The potential that people are looking for are winning a title and being measured against Bron who he was never going to be as good as.

To your other point, outside of basketball, he's a great representative for Syracuse. Awesome to see. I hope he picks JB to do his intro for the HoF.
