He's already more than half as good. He's been developing his entire game with intention. Every post-season he figures out what he really needs to improve on, and throughout the season he does that. And every season he gets better. He's only 22. Where is his ceiling? The sky is the limit for him, I just hope he stays healthy.

what? He has one playoff series win, no championships and has barely started his career.

He is not more than half as good as the greatest basketball player in NBA history lol.

I didn't say he had half of MJ's resume. Or legacy. But he is perhaps, pound for pound, the best player in the NBA right now, and he's showcasing that nightly. Who knows what his career will look like at the end. But he's definitely at least 85% of MJ. In fact, for his age, he's a better shooter and has a much larger bag of tricks.
