I feel like current and ex-players downplay some players who don’t have a bag like Giannis and then blow smoke up Kyrie’s or even DeRozan’s ass. I was reading a similar thing regarding footballers, how many of them rate Neymar a lot because of a similar reason (he can do things they cannot do).
I think basketball players do overrate a bag a bit too much but the reddit doesn’t give it enough respect. Too stat driven with lack of context in these parts, while actual players ignore stats a bit too much when someone has a bag
Usually to me its just semantics. When NBA players say words like “better” “skilled”, they’re just meaning different things than redditors.
