Early look at episode 4...Larry Bird. Could have just as easily titled this 1985-87, although his defense starting to slip in 1987 gave me some pause.

Good stuff as always Ben. Volume for the Magic bit at the very end is a little low. IDK if you change some things before it goes out on YT.

Brilliant stuff. Fitting that this comes out on Bird's birthday.

who are the other 4 best offensive player peaks in the top 5 aside from Bird? I'm guessing some combination of MJ/LeBron/Shaq/Magic/Curry/Nash?

Based on his CORP figures I'd guess that Bron, Nash, or Curry would be left out (the former two for port and the latter because his 2016 is docked for injury). Shaq isn't in the convo based on Ben's assessments.

I think his top 5 offensive players are Bird, Curry, Jordan, Magic, and Nash. With Shaq and LeBron just outside of it.

This is my favorite one yet. I've said that every video so far in this series. Absolutely god tier content.

I think Bird/Magic/MJ/LeBron are definitely top 5 with their versatility and creativity. Curry is a historic offensive player with his accurate, long-range bombing off the dribble...but is more limited as an iso player against playoff defenses. I believe Luka will be rounding out the top 5 if he stays healthy.

Damn my dawg larry had some crazy passing ability, knew that from the profile but the video lays it out so well

Marc Gasol has similar fast-twitch passing ability in the modern game, watching this has me excited to see how he's deployed next to someone like LeBron

Bird was just awesome wasn’t he. Classic example of talent that can’t be taught.

i mean nash has led literally the best 4-year playoff offense in NBA history... if i had to guess magic mj curry nash bird are the 5 ben's going with, with lebron ever so slightly behind them cuz of port
