Elite doesn't mean what you think it does. If it did u wouldn't be 28-29 coming off the lottery. Even in today's NBA bigs hold more value and swing men are a dime a dozen unless their name is Lebron James. Jimmy has completely maxed out what he's gonna be.
I guess this applies to Paul George too then? Or Dwade post Shaq? Or Kobe post Shaq? We could go on and on here
If you think tying a record to one player makes sense, then I don't know what to tell you. We would be bottom feeders without Jimmy right now
Also, Jimmy has legitimately gotten remarkably better every season and still continues to do so. Saying he's maxed out is laughable
And Jimmys skillset is ALOT more relevant right now than Drummonds lmao. He's the dying breed and being passed yearly by more diverse big men
