ESPN #NBArank top 10 predictions

[AchillesHeel]

Well, they've started ranking players and they'll work down to the top 10 soon enough

I'll predict the top 10

1.Lebron
2.KD aka acne aka beta
3.CP3
4.Kirby(reputation rank, they'll ignore his poor D)
5.Westbrook aka Alpha
6.Parker
7.Harden
8.Melo(scoring title hype)
9.Howard(reputation rank, he played injured)
10.Duncan

feel free to make your own, I just glossed over last year's top 20 players and then thought about their seasons + how ESPN usually ranks and I came up with that list.

[Clipper Nation]

Kirby will be grotesquely overrated per the usual, tbh....

[spurraider21]

James Anderson checking in at #429 :lol. man we had some high hopes for him

[Rogue]

Dirk should be there as well but it's gonna depend on how them mavs perform next season, and it's unknown at what percentage of his old level Westchuck is gonna play coming back from such a severe injury, imho.

[Arnold Toht]

No credibility whatsoever when you don't rank players by ring count.

[spurraider21]

Yes fisher should be in the top 2. Ridiculous ranking system :rolleyes

[DMC]

So you should be ranked #1 since you have 1?

I'd say Harden will beat out Parker. The media is really pushing for his growth to superstardom. And George will beat out Duncan at #10 for the same reason.

[Ghazi]

Rose will and should be in the top 10. Theres a reason the Bulls are contenders this year

[namlook]

Really? It's common sense that rings for players that were not all stars when they won don't count in the grand scheme of ring counts.

[Technique]

Horry was the first player ever to accumulate 100 steals, 100 blocked shots and 100 threes in one season

That's as all-star as it gets.

Horry GOAT

No one guarantees they'll be a contender this year and even if the 08' #1 draft is somehow "mentally" ready to play again, the bulls are still gonna face much tougher challenges against the revamped Brooklyn and the Pacers who had only got better than last season. Rose needs to at least show that he's still mentally able to play the game before ever being considered a top player again, imho.
