Respect is a thing amongst these dudes, so it isn't surprising that Giannis acknowledges LBJ as the best.

(Didn't LBJ do the same with Kobe in '09 or '10 when he was clearly, IMO, the best player in the league?)

I don't agree. Giannis is the most dominant "big man" in the league & the best two - player in the world.

And unlike Davis & James, he doesn't have another top 5 player to play off of and take a lot pressure off of him.

We saw how disappointing the results were the year prior when Davis & James were on the Pelicans & Lakers, respectively.
