Equivalent talent in their sport, hyped from a young age, top 5 players but feels like haven't fulfilled their full potential, a bit injury prone, overshadowed by GOATs but have also won big, didn't dominate their own gen (Giannis, Embiid, Hazard, Debruyne etc) might soon get eclipsed by the next gen (Zion, Luka, Haaland, Mbappe)

Nah Kyrie is

put some respect on neymar's name

Neymar is top 5 in the world at his sport.

Everyone listed AD in their top 5 last season.

you cant even compare.. 1 player's impact in soccer/football is much less compared to basketball..

if AD was truly top 5, pelicans would've had more success..

you cant stick messi or neymar into a team destined for relegation and expect them to be a top 4 team in any football league.

Last POST season.

Any top 20 player who pulls off a magnificent post season run, people will react quick and rate them top 5.

Now, we are calling him Neymar...

Neymar is known for being a flopper. I don't think AD is that. Maybe CP3?

A big reason is that there's more players compared to basketball playing at once. Football is arguably more of a team sport than basketball.

Yeah, this was mostly a post-season thing for AD. Although there have been times he's been argued in the top 5.

But to be fair, Neymar has never been considered a top-2 player in the world, and I would not have him as top 5 in the world (or the best player on his team).

Lewandowski/Messi/Ronaldo/De Bruyne/MBappe imo.

After I finished reading all the previous posts in this thread Neymar fell down to his knees 918 times.

Your first 3 are concrete. Kawhi and Giannis not so much. I’d take Harden, Luka & Jokic over Kawhi. Probably Embiid too.

Neymar is easily better than hazard and solidly above debruyne at their peak. Curry/harden is a better comp in terms of talent and league standings. They all have a massive amount of haters too

AD won a ring. He's fulfilled his potential.

Neymar is far greater at his sport than AD is at his.

Neymar is among the few queens on the sport's chessboard. He's a brilliant playmaker, who was only overshadowed by arguably two of the five greatest players ever sharing his timeline.

AD isn't a dominant NBA player. He couldn't lead a team anywhere. He's arguably the greatest #2 option however. He's more Benzema than Neymar tbh.

A lot of people thought AD was the 2nd best playe in the NBA last year, so he's quite a bit more highly rated than what you think. He's certainly a "queen of the chessboard".
