haha....NO!!

Heck I take him. He's in my team, and I could care less about those other bigs. Probably none of them would be as good of a fit for us except Davis and Towns, and that is a pipedream, young franchise cornerstones for other teams... so I have to stick with LMA, bc in recent matches against them, he's owned the two of them. Them skinny kids can't guard him TBH.
:lma

Didn't we have this topic before but as "is LMA top 10, or top 20". There are no big men in the top five so it's a pretty good case that of he's top 10 then he's the top big. That is unless you think Raymond is a center. Lmao.

I think drummond doesn't get enough credit for his efforts.

LMA definitely makes a case. He is a big reason his record setting spurs have one of the best defenses in the game.

The answer is Blake Griffin. But he's not playing so meh.

I'd say cousins is better.

Lmao reading "Is Aldridge the best big in the NBA?" and "Was Aldridge worth it?" on the same page.

I think his combination of offense and defense including cleaning up the glass easily makes him the best big in the game. Others come close but aren't the complete package like him.

lmao you cant be the best big in the NBA when youre #15 in Power Forwards in ESPNs Real Plus-Minus and

1- Draymond
2- Boogie Cousins
3- AD
4- Blake when healthy
5- Chris Bosh when healthy
6- Paul Millsap
7- Aldridge

Gotta give him props for intangibles, for durability knock on wood, and for joining our team when a lot of glitzier fancy teams were wooing him. He's done everything we wanted and then some. There are other bigs with slightly better skills but they're lacking in mental and emotional fortitude. Only Griffin might be above him and I wonder if any other big would have fit as seamlessly

He may also be a regular on Naruto forums.

Probably not the best, but the most complete, with having the whole package, for sure.

Pretty sure he was last night. Pretty sure he wasn't at the beginning of the season.

Haven't any of you noticed that no discussion about "the best" ever reaches a conclusion? The Best All-Time. The Best Of His Era. The Best At His Position. The Best This Season. It's like inviting people to drag out the stupidest thing they can think of at the moment, to try and one-up everyone else.

Go ahead - make it the 10 Best, and still nobody will agree with half the list.

Start a thread titled, "Is LaMarcus Aldridge Playing Pretty Fucking Good At The End Of The Season?" There will still be a bag of dicks wanting to argue about it.

Scoring LMA probably has the most efficient midrange game.

Now He is getting superb looks facing the basket in his comfort range. He is able to combine this with a little posting up and O rebound put backs. He never had it this easy in Portland.

Other than this there are better rebounders, shot blockers, post players, isolation guys than he is. IMO.

Oh yes... He is in shape now. He did not come to us as well prepared physically as he should have been for such a highly paid guy on our team.

I see a lot of people using the "if healthy" "if smart" asterisks. That's the whole point of putting him above bigger name more statistcally robust player. You want a stat? 60 wins. That's your stat.

Cousins should be the best... Unfortunately he's a mental midget

This. As of today, he's the best big playing. Now that he's found is place on the Spurs he is the most complete big in the game.

Isn't Brow in a wheelchair? How the fuck do posters here even mention him??? Smh

Of course LMAlpha is the best big. It's not even close

LMA should be in the running for the NBA all NBA first team as center this season. He and Leonard pretty much our best duo that made our team break the few team records in games won.
