I'm gonna disagree with everyone saying he was a Famer before this season. I think it was likely but he wouldn't have been 1st or 2nd ballot...
This postseason is locking him in as first ballot without a doubt...
As far as his All-Time standing. He didn't register on 99% of heads Top 75 before this season. He's on there now, so his historical place is rising. How high is up to him and how he is able to steer the remainder of his career. He isn't rising to no damn Top 20 in one season after not even being in Top 75 conversation beforehand
...
But he's getting in somewhere in that bottom 20 off this season. The bottom 20 of the Top 75 generally consists of some order of the following:
Unseld, McGrady, McAdoo, Melo, Vince
Rodman, Chief, Cowens, English, Dame
Maravich, Dwight, Schayes, Pearl, Arizin
Tiny, Pau, Parker, Greer, King
So its more about where is he gonna fit within this group. He's in there...
The other two guys who have gone from not in the conversation the last two years (because of their youth, though), to firmly within it now, are Embiid and Jokic. And Jimmy hasn't risen quicker or higher than Jokic. Embiid is more debatable, but those two guys have also put themselves on the All-Time boards...
