Comment on Hands down one of the best...

I think it works in some contexts. LeBron James is hands down one of the best basketball players of all time. Is he THE BEST? Debatable. Jordan, Kobe, Wilt, etc… are candidates. But there’s no question LeBron is a finalist.

Hard disagree fam. The fact that there are candidates disqualifies “hands down” from relevance.

No, because Kobe is also a contender. It wouldn’t be relevant for, say, Detlef Schrempf.

But you already said hands down. Implying LeBron is the only contender for the list.
