NBA: Current top ten?

[HarlemHeat37]

1. Giannis
2. Durant
3. Curry/Harden
5. Davis
6. LeBron(benefit of the doubt)
7. Kawhi(benefit of the doubt)
8. George
9. Embiid
10. Jokic

I don't care about what LeBron has done in the playoffs, he's clearly coasting into retirement now..he can't will teams to win anymore with his scoring, doesn't play defense, etc..

We probably won't even see him perform in the playoffs this year

Now that we've seen some playoffs:

1. Giannis
2. Servant
3. Curry/Harden
5. Kawhi
6. Embiid
7. LeBron
8. Lillard
9. Jokic
10. Davis

Hey Russ, are you a top 10 playa from the Himalayas?

[Benoit]

The only players that you can win a championship with, in this era, AS THE LEADER & UNDISPUTED NUMBER ONE GUY: Giannis, Lebron, Harden and Steph

Can only win as 1A/1B: KD, Kawhi, Davis, Lillard

Can only win as #2: Jokic, Embiid, George

[Beggar]

Why everyone mentioning Davis? He's already in his prime and we haven't seen absolutely no result. His top accomplishment in 7 years is get to the playoffs twice. Typical millenial with no drive, will or anything else. Loser

So you're not a millenial? That includes everyone born since the mid 1980s (up until the more recent Gen Z).

Putting Davis in the top ten

[resistanze]

1 - Giannis
2 - Curry
3 - Kawhi
4 - KD
5 - LeBron
6 - Lillard
7 - Jokic
8 - Embiid
9 - Harden
10 - George

[DAF86]

1-Curry
2-Durant
3-Kawhi
4-Giannis
5-Harden
6-Lebron
7-Davis
8-Embiid
9-George
10-Jokic

Hard to rank them right now, playoffs will probably clear who deserves to be where.

Now that Lebron has officially declined, Curry is pretty clearly the best player in the World, tbh. I don't care if most of the top 10 guys beat him one on one. In 5 v 5 basketball, he's the most impactful player by far.

[FrostKing]

1. Kawhi
2. Giannis
3. Jovic
4. Durant
5. Lebron
6a. Harden
6b. Curry
8. .....

Durant is more impactful because when he wants he can play defense. He is basically Curry at 7 feet you can't guard him and his help defense is pretty good. You never see teams trying to switch to have Durant guard them like they do Steph.

[Millennial_Messiah]

1. Antetokounmpo
2. Leonard
3. Durant
4. Harden
5. Westbrook
6. James
7. Lillard
8. Embiid
9. Davis
10. Thompson

11. George (?)
12. Jokic
13. Aldridge


Klay Thompson goes several spots ahead of Curry for his defense, tbh. Curry is just a of a shooter. He's not the soundest point guard and he's just a gambler on defense. Klay Thompson is Ray Allen on offense and prime Danny Green/Bruce Bowen on defense.

Then you have Iverson-like guys like Kyrie Irving who barely qualify for the top 25 due to their inefficiency. DeRozan isn't top 25 IMO.

Hate Draymond Green if you want but he's definitely top 20, he's the rich-man's Shawn Marion/Dennis Rodman of this generation. He does everything except volume score, and he can score if necessary.

Westbrook ahead of Curry?! Curry not in the top 13? You're a contrarian idiot.

Towns over Embiid and Paul George? Idk about that...and Durant has surpassed LeBron at this point, imo

Curry has been overrated since day one. Remember Curry had plenty of chances to "carry" the Warriors with the Bogut/David Lee teams. They usually won 30-35 games a season. He's just a great shooter and really nothing else. There's nobody to really compare to him unfortunately, except for maybe Jerry West which sucks because there were no threes in West's time. Curry is a heck of a shooter and a great decoy, but I rank the players in terms of how greatly they help the team win.

The Warriors today would be worse off without Thompson than Curry. Thompson is arguably a better shooter than Curry (at least as good) AND is a top 3 perimeter defender. He would be Kawhi on offense too if he wasn't surrounded by Curry, Green, Durant etc and the triangle-esque pick and roll heavy offense.

Your backward logic on basketball is only surpassed by your backward logic on race and race mixing.

Andy going full re , not surprising though tbh

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi
Durant
Curry
Giannis
Harden

Hard to Gauge Lebron since the lakers were abysmal and the FO was a disaaster.

He could still be a top 4 player

[DAF86]

Durant is more impactful because when he wants he can play defense. He is basically Curry at 7 feet you can't guard him and his help defense is pretty good. You never see teams trying to switch to have Durant guard them like they do Steph.

None of that matters when a simple screen for Curry has three opposing players running to him while his teammates can play 4 on 2.

unless you're portland and sag off his screens giving him wide open 3's all day

[timvp]

Towns over Embiid and Paul George?

Yeah. When Karl Estrogen-Towns is on his tamoxifen, he's probably the most talented player in the league, tbh.

Idk about that...and Durant has surpassed LeBron at this point, imo

IMO, you put LeBron on the Warriors and they easily go 16-0 in the playoffs.

Did you ever rank Nash as #1?

Granted the League as declined within that time span but neither play defense atleast Nash was an elite passer

[Rosewood]

1) Giannis
2) Kawhi
3) Durant
4) Lebron
5) Curry
6) Harden
7) Embiid
8) Paul George
9) Jokic
10) Dame

Just imo.

curry is an average to slightly above average defender. nash was like forbes on defense
