Does anybody know where a guy could watch, for example, every Warriors game of the 14-15 season?

I think nba.com has archived games but it would cost a monthly sub, or if you're a dirty pirate russian torrent sites are usually the best for old games (ru tracker is good)

Jokic and mbappe are a lot less dominant than sinner/alcaraz

Mostly because you can argue other 2-3 people over them in their own sport and it would make sense

They're last because they cancel each other out/there is the smallest gap between 1 and 2.

You could probably argue the same about ohtani and judge cancelling each other (but they are both atg dominant themselves so it wouldnt make much sense)

Yeah I guess I should've considered Judge more when putting Ohtani 1st, though the latter has been consistently dominant for four years while I wouldn't be surprised if this and two years ago are Judge's outlier best seasons, Ohtani would've won 4 straight MVPs if Judge didn't also have an amazing season a few years ago. Mahomes, McDavid and Scheffler you're trying too hard if you don't rate them #1, with the former 2 doing it for longer, so maybe they should be top 2/3. If you went away from the method of just comparing them to 2nd best guy though, Ohtani would once again have a case for the top.

Yeah it’s completely AI generated. It’s sounds really natural here’s another I made just messing around , I actually used it for studying. It’s cool that you can make a podcast about any text

“What if ‘71 Kareem was placed in the 1990 season, where would he rank?” lol.

Ohtani should absolutely not be ahead of Judge in baseball and you don't even have Judge on your list. Had Ohtani pitched this season and been roughly a top 10-15 starting pitcher like he was two seasons ago or if he were a gold glove level outfielder I could see it(he is a dh so doesn't even play on defense) but the 50/50 thing doesn't put him ahead of Judge. People are going crazy over it and placing him too high relative to his peers and other all time greats right now. I think there must be 1-2 Olympians worth mentioning here as well.

Yes, I messed up by underestimating how much of an all time great Judge is becoming after dominant seasons last 2/3 years and another strong season very early in career, crap playoffs 2 years ago but Ohtani can't use that either yet. My new rankings:

Mahomes
McDavid
Scheffler
Jokic
Ohtani
Mbappe
Sinner/Alcarez

Ohtani is still the guy in baseball because he has consistent track record of 4 straight MVP caliber seasons while Judge was ok last year, and the non pitching version of him isn't even his real form. Jokic I guess could be argued as high as 3rd since he also has consistent track record and you have to kind of reach to argue Giannis or whatever over him, Scheffler would've had a prime Tiger level year if he had gotten a 2nd major (though gold medal makes up for it) although PGA is in its NBA/ABA moment and he was only best player by a bit in previous years.

The top 2 have been carrying the flag for their sports for sure. Jokic I guess could be argued as high as 3rd since he also has consistent track record and you have to kind of reach to argue Giannis or whatever over him, Scheffler had best golf season since pre wife scandal Tiger to me although PGA is in its NBA/ABA moment and he was only best player by a bit in previous years.


Well if you are going 3-4 years back for these rankings then the Ohtani one does make more sense. I thought it was more based on the last year or so. There's also that woman who won the 400m hurdles going away. She is insanely dominant in that event going back quite a few years and I think one other event as well she is the best in.

Don't even think Mbappe is no. 1 within his own sport to begin with. He is very high profile and the media loves him but I think his hype supersedes his actual impact. Rodri and secondarily Bellingham are the best players in the world imo.

Rodri is just insane. He's a defensive midfielder who actually matched 50% of Mbappe's production (Mbappe had 34 G+A last year, Rodri has 17 in a much tougher league). Basically involved in every facet of the game and his team would completely fall apart without him.

Allen's likely going to end up having outplayed Mahomes for back-to-back regular seasons. Was arguably overall the best QB in the league last season. Fan opinion probably isn't gonna move past Mahomes without Allen winning a Bowl or two, but the argument is there. Allen's truly been incredible, really looks like he's taken a leap the past two seasons.

He didn't outplay Mahomes last regular season to me when he threw 18 interceptions or the ones previous since 2020, though this year seems like his moment to win MVP. Regular season is also not the best indicator, such as how Jackson outplayed Mahomes in regular season last year but he has flaws that show up in playoffs imo. I don't trust Allen to make decisions in playoffs as much as Mahomes.

Agree with this generally but through three games Allen has not been intercepted and has only been sacked twice. He is setting career highs and leading the league in basically every rate metric so far, and he is doing this with a well-balanced but collectively unremarkable receiving corps. There will be regression, but right now he is not giving critics anything to nitpick.
