How much should the era you played in matter when comparing NBA players? In this episode, we break down the idea of an “Era Tax” — adjusting how we evaluate players based on the competition, style of play, rules, pace, spacing, and overall talent of their era.
Can you really compare a superstar from the ’80s or ’90s directly to a superstar today? Or are fans giving certain generations too much — or too little — credit?
Then we jump into our 2026 NBA Player Rankings, breaking down the best players at each position and debating who deserves to be at the top, who’s overrated, who’s underrated, and which rankings might have the basketball world coming for us. 👀🔥
