In a surprise twist of cross-sport admiration, the NBA Report—typically reserved for basketball news—has issued a special editorial naming Quinn Hughes the Greatest Ice Hockey Player of the 21st Century. The move has stunned both the basketball and hockey worlds, not just for the source, but for the boldness of the claim.

🏒 Why Hughes?

According to the report, Hughes’ unmatched vision, elite passing ability, and inherently unselfish style of play have elevated him above an already elite field of hockey icons. The editorial team praised his ability to control the tempo of the game, likening his puck distribution to “Steve Nash on skates.”

The report described Hughes as the “orchestra conductor of the blue line,” noting that his influence on the game transcends the stat sheet. From zone exits to power-play quarterbacking, Hughes has redefined what it means to be a modern NHL defenseman.

📋 The Shortlist He Beat Out:

The NBA Report’s editorial board didn’t shy away from listing the legends Hughes surpassed for the title. Among them:

Henrik Sedin – Former Hart Trophy winner and one of the greatest playmakers in NHL history.

Daniel Sedin – An elite goal scorer and Henrik’s long-time linemate; together, they formed one of the most intelligent duos ever.

J.T. Miller – Known for his two-way dominance and offensive explosion in the 2020s.

Sidney Crosby – (Yes, even Sid the Kid) – While not named directly in the headline, Crosby was listed as an “honorable mention,” causing some raised eyebrows.

Connor McDavid – Described as “electrifying but individualistic,” which may have cost him points in the “team-first” metrics used in the selection.

🏆 A Bold Claim with Mixed Reactions

The announcement has stirred both admiration and outrage on social media. Hockey purists questioned why a basketball outlet would weigh in on hockey’s GOAT debates, while others praised the boldness of the move.

“Quinn Hughes has changed the way defense is played,” said one scout quoted anonymously. “He’s Bobby Orr with Google Maps.”

Meanwhile, fans of Crosby and McDavid have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to demand a recount.

🎙️ Hughes Responds with Class

When reached for comment after the Canucks’ offseason training skate, Hughes said:

“I’m honored. But there’s no ‘greatest.’ I’ve learned from all the names on that list. I just try to play the right way and help my team win.”

🥶 Whether you agree with the NBA Report or not, one thing is clear: Quinn Hughes has made hockey history—and now, apparently, basketball headlines to
