Tim would be tier #1, IMO... He started playing late in his life and managed to make the game look too easy at times.
Otherwise solid list...
Tier 1:
1- Ginobili
2- Diaw
Tier 2:
3- Duncan
4- West
5- Kawhi
6- LMA
7- Parker
Tier 3:
8- Miller
9- Kyle Anderson
10- Mills
11- Martin
Tier 4:
12- Green
13- Simmons
14- Bonner
15- Boban

Tim is certainly more fundamentally sound than Manu/Diaw, but here I weigh more the craftiness element..

ing ridiculous. Everyone knows Simmons has more talent than Green.
So does Bonner imo.
it was fun while it lasted..somebody point me the last time Simmons didn't get his two-handed dunk rejected and him getting to kiss the floor right after it..
Op is a great poster, but the idea that Duncan and Kawhi playing at a level they played is more of a credit to how they play than talent is silly.
What is talent? As far as i am concrened using your skills the right way is talent..
Also, would you consider somoene like simmons who have minimal talent on every facet game more talented than someone like Danny Green who might be the most talented transition defender in the league but have zero talent in some facet of the game?
In that sense, who really is more talented.
How about Parker ability to get into the basket..probably the most talented in that regard..one of the top 3 penetrators ive ever seen..
Why isn't Simmons a tier 1 for being able to jump out of the gym
Timmy Tony and Kawhi need to be in that first group.
A player in the NBA:
Tier 1 :
Spurs roster
meh..not to take anything away from second group, but Manu/Diaw are simply on different level in terms of what/how they can do with a basketball..it is their lemonade-making ability that distinguishes them from others....
Talent here is understood as an endowed basketball skill/tool that varies in its relation to development/hardwork/age from one player to the other..Kawhi, for example, wouldn't be the player he's become today if he wasn't such gym rat with the right at ude..There is a reason Manu is aging better than Parker..Diaw could still be useful in Warriors series with a protruding pot-belly..
Tier 4:
Ginobili
Green
Bonner
Tbh...
Wow...in every sense, that's en par with the Chyna sextape.
This an April Fool's thread right?
Which begs the question...why isn't Duncan then in your first tier?
play-making factor-- the unorthodox variety-- clinched tier 1..
Top 5 player ever is not talented for tier 1?
Miller is a drastically underrated player in NBA history.
You don't get to the top 10 assists in NBA history without being absurdly talented.
And yes, when Tim Duncan doesn't start playing basketball until he's 13-14, and in the time it takes him to go through high school, he shows up as an unknown freshmen on Wake Forest's campus and starts destroying D1 ACC players before he's even taken a college class, that is the kind of thing that "insanely talented" is still an understatement for.
Let's not forget that rumor has it that at 16 over in the V Islands dude was playing ALONZO MOURNING to a draw...AT SIXTEEN years old which is how his college coach Odom became aware of him!!! Duncan was deemed pro-ready (and not the raw, developmental kind) after his sophmore year at WF. Sorry, him not being in the first tier makes no sense whatsoever. OP needs to change the le question to "Who's the most unorthodox" because that's what's he's basing it on primarily.
How on earth is Kyle 9. Wow. He's dead last. By a mile
