He’s somewhat flabby and slow, more closely resembling Big Country (Bryant Reeves) and Greg Ostertag than Shaq, Olajuwon, and David Robinson. Not a physical specimen by any means. “Freakish” does not explain him at all. He’s not freakishly athletic or physical by any stretch of the imagination. Shaq was freakish. MJ and LBJ are freakish. Zion Williams is definitely freakish. Joker is way more flabby than freakish.

But why is he so good? Beating the “GOAT” Lebron and the clear year after year MVP of the past 4 years.

1. He has a winner mentality, a lot of players don’t.

2. He has a court vision that places him at the top 1% of all NBA players (Stockton, Bird, Magic, Jackson, Kidd level vision)

3. He’s 6’11” and can shoot. He shoot’s a career 55% and 35% from 3.

4. He can rebound at a best in the league level ( 11-13 rebounds).

5. His teammates love him. He’s a leader.

He’s more Larry Bird than freakish athlete. A pure natural talent, without much physical prowess.
