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).
The last portion of your comment reminds me of Steph Curry talking about the ball being a grenade: you have a half-second to make a decision with it or it blows up.
