Ben Taylor is one of the best basketball analysts I've come across. His youtube channel consistently puts out high quality stuff.
It's interesting that you've just posted this as well because I just came here to post a podcast he did with Nate Duncan (who is another one of the very best basketball minds around) regarding the topic of Lebron v Jordan.
It's quite a balanced discussion so prob not for likes of jod
#6: Nate Duncan, Part II - LeBron vs. Jordan
In Part II of our conversation, Nate and I (finally) talk Jordan vs. LeBron, comparing levels of competition, conference disparities, outside shooting, defensive consistency, longevity and the problems with Delorean-free time travel. If you like it, please support at <a...player.fm
Keep in mind also, this podcast was recorded about 2 years ago.
Great discussion. The discussion around the strength of the league in mid late to late 90’s was interesting.
the discussion about Jordan’s jump shot and the high release was interesting too. Kobe is the reference there - similar Shooting form - played in the 3pt era - .329 3pt shooter.
Really highlights that we are splitting hairs - both are great. As is Kareem. And Russell. And probably others.
