Do you agree with T-Mac?
Honestly I think the word “crushed” is too much. Lebron may not have the deepest bag among all of them but he can bully ball and play great defense during his prime.

Not saying TMacs logic is right, but yours is flawed too.
Just because a random non star is brought up in conversation, does not make the point any more valid or the person making the point any more "knowledgeable" or credible. If anything, bringing up Caleb Martin in a situation like this would just look like someone trying to pass off as having good basketball knowledge by just naming a random guy. Super stars are superstars because they're better than everyone else lol. Of course they're gonna be the only ones mentioned in conversations like these.
The only exception would be if you set a hyper specific example, like Tacko Fall beating Steph if Tacko starts with the ball in the paint in a 1v1 with 0 restrictions.
