You can't be generational without unique physical traits and multiple players with unique or comparable features and attributes.
For example, LeBron is arguably an all time unique talent, no player since Magic Johnson has had a similar type of body and game, yet LeBron is faster and stronger than him, has a game patterned after Magic, MJ, and other SGs in the late 90's and early 00's so he's wholly unique.
Players like Embiid have already had players that are just like them but better play in the NBA and set a blueprint for himself to piggy back on.
Most obvious being Hakeem, as well as Dirk who's still active in the NBA, I would argue he's not generational but a natural progression of centers coming out of college, and spent multiple years being able to obtain this game due to injury that other players haven't had the benefit of, typically get thrown into the fire straight out of college.
Saric reminds me of Toni Kukoc, not generational, nothing unique enough to separate him from other euro forwards in the last 10-20 years.
Ben Simmons is a 7ft PF/C playing PG, that's truly unique. I'll accept him as a generational player.
James Harden is no way generational.
There's nothing unique about him physically, was overweight, out of shape, non athletic, and left handed coming out of college, played coming off the bench for these reasons plus no defense, has worked hard to get an NBA level core and body strength, become better using his right hand, etc. Stole all his moves from Ginobili, has a very typical street ball game in isolation, and based half his scoring ability on drawing fouls which is exploitation of the rules and flaws in officiating, not other players around him, and put in the perfect system that also takes advantage of these rules to allow him to play iso with no defense able to stop him consistently without the refs aiding Harden.
This is generational refball by the Rockets and NBA.

Adding to this.
Kevin Durant is much like Dirk, so much so even Durant has said he stole Dirk's game, along with Larry Bird, said he watched hours of their tape to copy them.
But because no player has been 7 foot tall plus that skinny and mobile I'll give him the title of being a generational talent on this technicality alone.
Westbrook is truly the only PG to be this explosive, strong, and quick, there have been multiple fast PGs, Rose, Wall, Iverson, Jason Kidd, Nash, etc. But never with the total package, like a small version of a PF, mini LeBron if you will. Generational player, may never see another player with so much speed plus vertically, stamina, strength, fitness on another level. Maybe you can argue Oscar Robertson would be the same if he was raised in modern times, but he was 6'5 and more of a SG imo.
AD is close, but really he's like KG and Tim Duncan on steroids, and I'd argue KG is still superior, and the true generational talent.
AD is like Embiid, a natural next step in big men evolution based on past bigs like KG, Timmy, and Dirk.
Curry physically isn't a generational player, but his accuracy and hand eye coordination are all time great, if not the greatest. I'd seriously make an argument he's generational.
Liam Morgan
Every year around this time the LeBron-MJ "debate" ramps up. Then he loses in the Finals.

Pacers beat Cavs 3-1 this season. We don’t have soft ass PG anymore. We would probably sweep you in a playoff series. Oh and it looks like Love is injured again. Good luck.

What about Giannis?

I'd argue that Chris Paul is a generational choke artist
Samuel Ramirez
Half his team injured and cRaptors still can't beat LeBron
Cooper Cook
/nba/ has the memory of a goldfish. Didn't the Raptors win by nearly 30 when the Cavs came to Toronto?
This was your game 7 of the first round of the playoffs. That's how far LeBald will go and then leave Leaveland to LA. Take joy in this moment while you can.
Dylan Sullivan
no way im gonna be a cavs fan anymore when lebron leaves and im not even falseflagging
Sebastian Peterson
So you left and came back already?
Angel Wright
That's the rumor I heard, same with less Hardening for infinite free throws
Yet both things have gotten worse this year
Kayden Peterson
Still very raw, not really a copy of any past player, but multiple qualities that haven't been fully incorporated into his game yet, not really good at one thing, except using footwork (traveling) to get to the rim and abuse his dominant physical traits.
An all time unique player physically, and therefore a generational talent we've never seen.

Not the person you replied to but he does indeed travel for a living. It would be much harder with his long ass legs to have the inside game that he has without the constant traveling.
