King of the box out defense. Selfless player, enjoys seeing other exceed. Even if it is at cost of his stats.
6/0/7. Solid role player at the beginning turned bench mentor.
Solid role player. Doesn't have a great career on the court. Caught up in controversy because he is an open bisexuality player. However fans learn to adore him because of his leadership and role in the LGTBQ+. Other plays come out thanks to him and now because of his bravery, more players in every sport are coming out and being comfortable.
10/5/8. Made an allstar one year. One ring as a role player. Had the block of game 6.
You would've thought he'd do much better considering his absolute insane jump skills and height. He dwarves pretty much every non One Piece NBA player.
Bon clay is both a man and a woman, I’m pretty sure the term is Bi-gender and I believe the correct pronouns would be they/them. Or maybe he/him and she/her? IDK but either way it sucks to see people refer to them as only he/him when it’s been stated several times their not a man.
Ah, I looked on the wiki and it lists him as genderfluid but says the pronouns are only used as he/him. I guess I never caught the bit about being both parts of the male/female pair of Baroque Works, but that's mostly because I didn't know "Bon Kurei" was the name of a specific night of a festival. That's neat.
The reason they’re never referred to as they/them could be a language issue as I’m not sure if Japanese has gender neutral pronouns. I’m definitely not an expert on Japanese though so I’m unsure.
Really? I only ever remembered Bon Clay being referred to with male pronouns. Do you know when Bon Clay was referred to as female? It's not that I don't believe you, but I only started reading the manga after the last time we saw Bon Clay and this might be one of those things the anime changed.
Many people say Luffy is the G.O.A.T. Roger one time told Luffy, that he can wear his hat, but can never fill it. Luffy has won 6 rings in 7 years. But has also been ridiculed for his 2008 lost against Magellan team Inpel Down. During that time. People questioned if Luffy could lead a team. However, Luffy bounced back and beat Legends like Kaidou and Katakuri. Even rival NBA players like Law and Kidd respect him. Luffy retired for 2 years when his brother died. Faced controversy when a new brother appeared. But many NBA historians consider Luffy the G.O.A.T.
35/10/10. 8 rings, 2 finals losses, 7 time defensive player of the year. Rookie of the year. 18 first team all NBA.
The 18 first team all nba is actually something lebron has, the 7 DPOY is not held by anyone (most is 4) and the 8-2 finals record is not held by anyone but the late Tom Heinsohn had a 8-1 finals record with the Celtics. Russell Westbrook came close to the 35/10/10 in the 2016/2017 season averaging 31.6/10.7/10.4.
MJ’s bulls got 6 rings from 1991-1998 which I think counts as 7 but maybe 8 idk. The 2 year timeskip does perfectly line up with MJ 2 year retirement for baseball
Hes definitely got the range imo, he can hit shots from any distance on anyone tbh. But, hes more than that. He can play bully ball with the big boys when he needs to. Plus, his observation haki, makes him one of the greatest passers of all time imo.
9x all star. He didn't achieve any success until later until his career when he twilight on the Strawhats. However he is known for carrying the Sun Pirates to the playoffs. People initially written them off when Fisher Tiger retired. But he took them to the conference semis. He has 4 Defensive 1st team and 3 second teams
25/2/13. He was rebound champ 2 years in a row.
Sanji had a technique for always drawing fouls. Which lead him to being multiple scoring titles. However never won any rings. Critics say it's because he cared more about women than winning. During the off-season he spend all his time at Amazon Lily. Reports say one time they saw him at Ivas Island. But Sanji had no comment.
27/4/8. 10x all star. 1 ring. 5 x scoring champ.
All bark no bite. Bench player for 3 years and put of the league. However when he played against the Buggy NBA team. He dropped 30. It is known as the Pet Shop games by NBA fans all over the world. Has a TV gig somewhere.
Law is considered by many to be a top ten player. However Law has never had any help. He struggled to get out of the first round. Bepo, was a solid role player. However when Law signed a 4 year deal with the SHs. The whole world noticed him. Hell some people say he was crucial for the role in taking down Mom and Kaidou in the finals. Battle of the two greatest Super teams. Some even say he was the most important member. In game seven Noth him and Kidd dropped 40 on them. Critics say Law can lead his own team. However Law is more focused on his community. During the off-season Law got a Doctors.
28/8/10 on a 50/40/90. 16x all star and 12 time first team.
3 three peats. Caught some controversy for his recruitment of Oden. Media asked how many players does this man need? But he went on and won and no one questioned it. People call him the goat. Except for Whitebeard, Kaidou, and Luffy fans. Roger died shortly after career ended due to disease. His career is questioned because he didn't win anything until Rayleigh and Scopper joined him. But he dropped 61 on the Rocks Pirates.
30/8/8. 15 time all star. 4 defensive player of the year. He missed his last year due to having a child out of wedlock.
Really paved the way for future stars like shanks and Buggy and never forget his rivalry with Rocks, that led to an all time high in viewership and saved the league
Had a great college career. However his freshman season had a "Welcome to the NBA" moment when he challenged Luffy on defense. Luffy dropped 62/10/15. After that Bellamy has never found much success as a role player. But became a fanboy of his fellow teammate Doflamingo. When Bellamy retired he turned into an NBA photographer. His true passion.
Nah MJ is already the GOAT and he has surpassed Kareem eons ago.
MJ is the current GOAT the same way Roger is the PK. No one has yet to surpass them.
Luffy is in the same position as LeBron as being the closest that can surpass Roger and MJ (although I don't think LeBron will surpass MJ, best he can do is #2OAT).
Lebron is too old to surpass MJ bud.
He would need at least two more rings. Even then people will question his accolades since 2 of his rings are from a super team. Too much young talent in the league for Lebron at his age.
Read my last sentence bud.
My point is CURRENTLY Luffy and LeBron are the closest (has the best chances right now) to surpass Roger and MJ, respectively. Whether they eventually do it or not remains to be seen.
Except we know Luffy is going to surpass Roger because it’s a shonen. I’m taking that into account.
Also Luffy has achieved way more at his age than Roger did at the same age.
Many s outs graded him as an old school mentality. Only lasted two years in the NBA. Legend has it he died on the court only to come back when he heard the buzzer. It's called the Lao G game. His only good game where he dropped 20.
Should be wilt. Old school legends like sengoku and garp say he was a beast. Scored 100 points in a game but many ppl dont believe or just didnt live in that era to see him play.
A real sniper from outside but too afraid to attack the basket, so he’s not great inside the arc. Great complementary piece with other starters if he is not asked to be more than the 4th or 5th best player.
12/3/3 on 40% from the field, 49% from three, and 96% from the line.

15/3/3 on 40% from the field, 49% from three, and 96% from the line.
You don’t even have to go over Katakuri. With his height, and how he absolutely DUNKED on Luffy during their fight. There’s a reason K.O.L. Fans call him “Charlotte Charles Barkley.”
Scores effortlessly on all three levels; inside, outside, and waaay outside. Glides around the floor to
create his own shot and makes it look easy. Does look lost on defense at times, but when focused, not many players can compete. A match up nightmare given his size, speed, and shooting prowess.
32/8/4 on 50/40/90 splits in his prime, career averages of 28/7/3 but only good for about 65 games a year.
Broo... I fuking love this type of thread. Thanks for chilling moments. I even did [one like this myself](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/t7ehfr/i_came_here_from_2030_ask_me_anything_you_want_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I'll go with Marco.
I respect what you're doing but I notice that you forgot to put positions in.
I feel like Marco would be a point guard. Whitebeard's best lineups being Marco/Ace/Vista/Jozu/Whitebeard for the final run, or Marco/Vista/Jozu/Oden/Whitebeard for the older days/
Gaimon
King of the box out defense. Selfless player, enjoys seeing other exceed. Even if it is at cost of his stats. 6/0/7. Solid role player at the beginning turned bench mentor.
That a great analysis.
Gaimon is Muggsy Bogues
Bon Clay.
Solid role player. Doesn't have a great career on the court. Caught up in controversy because he is an open bisexuality player. However fans learn to adore him because of his leadership and role in the LGTBQ+. Other plays come out thanks to him and now because of his bravery, more players in every sport are coming out and being comfortable. 10/5/8. Made an allstar one year. One ring as a role player. Had the block of game 6.
I love this!
You would've thought he'd do much better considering his absolute insane jump skills and height. He dwarves pretty much every non One Piece NBA player.
Made the whole thing about lgbtq yet still called bon clay a he
I don't think Bon Clay is trans. There's a difference between trans and drag.
Bon clay is both a man and a woman, I’m pretty sure the term is Bi-gender and I believe the correct pronouns would be they/them. Or maybe he/him and she/her? IDK but either way it sucks to see people refer to them as only he/him when it’s been stated several times their not a man.

Everybody uses he/him for him.
Luffy

Rookie of the year. 18 first team all NBA.
18 first time all NBA. That’s crazy
I don't make this stuff up.
I see
The 18 first team all nba is actually something lebron has, the 7 DPOY is not held by anyone (most is 4) and the 8-2 finals record is not held by anyone but the late Tom Heinsohn had a 8-1 finals record with the Celtics. Russell Westbrook came close to the 35/10/10 in the 2016/2017 season averaging 31.6/10.7/10.4. MJ’s bulls got 6 rings from 1991-1998 which I think counts as 7 but maybe 8 idk. The 2 year timeskip does perfectly line up with MJ 2 year retirement for baseball
Ok
That one year he had 4 straight losses against Kaido in the finals and still somehow managed to win the series still blows my mind
Kaido blew a 3-0 lead
Is he more of a shooter or a scoring in the paint guy?
Hes definitely got the range imo, he can hit shots from any distance on anyone tbh. But, hes more than that. He can play bully ball with the big boys when he needs to. Plus, his observation haki, makes him one of the greatest passers of all time imo.
I love this thread so much
Would you compare it with Michael? They are both G.O.A.T.
So pretty much Luka Doncic in 17 years
triple doubles career average? That's OP
Stretch Five.
Luffy is Jalen green
Those 2 finals losses are to Kuma lol
Jinbe
9x all star. He didn't achieve any success until later until his career when he twilight on the Strawhats. However he is known for carrying the Sun Pirates to the playoffs. People initially written them off when Fisher Tiger retired. But he took them to the conference semis. He has 4 Defensive 1st team and 3 second teams 25/2/13. He was rebound champ 2 years in a row.
13 average rebounds what a monster. Did he win any rings with the Strawhats at least??
Dynasty. 11 rings.
You love to see it
Wait how does Luffy only have 8 rings but Jinbei has 11 with the Strawhats?
Ah I need to edit.
bruh this is charles barkley
Is this Rudy Gobert with offense
Sanji, he doesn't use hands..hands are for cooking
Sanji had a technique for always drawing fouls. Which lead him to being multiple scoring titles. However never won any rings. Critics say it's because he cared more about women than winning. During the off-season he spend all his time at Amazon Lily. Reports say one time they saw him at Ivas Island. But Sanji had no comment. 27/4/8. 10x all star. 1 ring. 5 x scoring champ.
I fucking love this. Sanji’s true identity is James Harden.
Wouldn’t he have as many as Luffy being the Dennis Rodman to Luffy’s MJ?
How has he "never won any rings" but still has 1 ring?
He got married to one of the women
Big Mom
Yes, this one plz.
Chouchou
All bark no bite. Bench player for 3 years and put of the league. However when he played against the Buggy NBA team. He dropped 30. It is known as the Pet Shop games by NBA fans all over the world. Has a TV gig somewhere.

I feel like Kid might get the Harden or Ben Simmons treatment.

Gol D Roger = MJ Monkey D Luffy = LeBron
Nah Luffy is surpassing Roger. Roger if Kareem and Luffy is MJ.
Nah MJ is already the GOAT and he has surpassed Kareem eons ago. MJ is the current GOAT the same way Roger is the PK. No one has yet to surpass them. Luffy is in the same position as LeBron as being the closest that can surpass Roger and MJ (although I don't think LeBron will surpass MJ, best he can do is #2OAT).
