Who's the most entertaining/exciting basketball player of all-time?

Oh come on, we all know it was Jordan. Probably second for me was peak Magic. Kobe also had a amazing will and determination.

I've been a pro hoops fan for a long time and was a former season ticket holder in the 90's, Golden State.
 
Currently, Jokic is towards the top.

Such a big, slow, flabby, awkward-moving dude putting up the numbers he does is so fun.
 
Seeing Steph go scorched earth on france at the end of the Olympics was pretty cool
 
Rewatching this.. steph smokes 4 3's in a little over 2 minutes, making the entire arena fanboys. Maybe the entire continent. What an American. I've never seen ANT so excited and he was on the bench. Probably the best shooting display EVER. That last 3 was so ridiculous that he even had the french rooting for him.

 
@Croaker I really want to get banned from youtube right now, but please help me not to.

Basically i found a vid of a couple f-words watching that olympic performance and they didn't put up the correct enough of 3's, which only f-words would do. Should I report them or something, like they would probably do to me? Should I do my best to get banned from youtube? I need advice here.

Best,

VOL

Yep, Jason Williams on the Sacramento Kings was absurdly fun to watch.

Doctor J.
Reign Man.
Kevin Johnson.
Magic Johnson.
Michael Jordan.
Orlando-era Shaq.
Early ankle-breaking Tim Hardaway.
Early uninjured Kirilenko.
Early uninjured 4th quarter T-Mac.
Early still quick Ginobli.
Early fast break Jason Kidd.
Richard Jefferson & Kenyon Martin fielding oops from older Jason Kidd.
Vince Carter.
Allen Iverson.
Kobe Bryant.
The entire Nash-led Phoenix Suns.
Pre-Lebron reckless flying squirrel tumbler Dwyane Wade.
Early skylining Blake Griffin.
Uncle Drew.
Tayshaun Prince actually made it fun to watch defense. It was like watching Unibrow in college.

Corery Maggette

Steve Francis was nasty when he was younger.

For people who know the intricacies of basketball and technique, Kyrie Irving is an absolute monster.

With you on that, and being old enough and an ACC fan I remember Maggette (Duke) and Francis (Maryland).

I don't know, man. The question was most entertaining/exciting, not best player.

I think Vince Carter was more entertaining and exciting to watch than Jordan was.

And just personal taste here, but I also think Dennis Rodman was entertaining as hell. Hands down the most entertaining non-scorer ever. Watching him tip the ball to himself 3 or 4 times before grabbing the rebound away from a 7-foot center was amazing. Most unique skill set in NBA history.
 
Sticking your tongue out on a routine dunk takes it to the next level. Jordcan easily wins.

Disagree because Carter didn't have the deep game Jordan had. Carter was good for the breakaway dunk for sure but I don't find that sort of dunk nearly as exciting as the dunk in traffic. Further, Jordan was likely to make a spectacular play on either side of the court. His defense was outstanding.

So I favor Jordan in this comparison because he was probably the best guard I ever saw at dunking in traffic in the half court offense and one of the best defenders ever to play his position. You gotta remember that when Jordan played dunking in traffic often came with an absurdly hard foul further upping the cost benefit/excitement.

Jordan was a hell of a rebounder too. I remember watching Jordan hit the winning shot in the NCAA national championship game for North Carolina as a freshmen. He also led his team in rebounding that game.

Rodman is a legend. Skipping out on NBA Finals practice for rasslin.
