Prime only, how would you rank them from 1-4?

Re: D-Rob vs Giannis vs KG vs Magic
Sort of unfair to throw Giannis in here when he's only 29 and still contending for mvps.

Re: D-Rob vs Giannis vs KG vs Magic
I believe Robinson and Garnett are both better players than Giannis. Rule/playstyle changes and relative position depth, in my opinion, create an illusion that Giannis is superior. I have Robinson slightly ahead of Garnett.
Magic doesn't really fit with the other three. I'm inclined to put him first, despite my preference for two-way players.

Magic is a phenomenal offensive player, so it seems weird to compare him to these two way big men who derive most of their value from defense. I honestly think that the only knocks against Magic's career are about his subpar longevity, the historically weak conference he played in, and his defense. The first doesn't apply to this conversation, the second doesn't bug me much because it's outside his control, and the third is what keeps him from being the Goat. Despite his superior longevity, I rank KG one place behind Magic on my list, and think that the other big men are comparable enough to him that I don't see a good enough reason to put them over Magic

With a few more years at his current level Giannis has a good argument over KG/Robinson

I have it the same. Giannis has volume on Garnett. I don’t rate his playmaking/shooting like some others do. All 3 are fantastic defenders obviously.
