sons who would you rather have on your team RIGHT NOW?

[Ghazi]

Statistically, CP3 is definitely top 5.

But you know, I like to look at the intangibles, especially in the playoffs recently.


2-0 lead, blows it v Spurs. how? Lets Jannero ing Pargo take 13 4th quarter shots in a crucial game 7.

v Nuggets? Horrible stats, was clearly outclassed by Billups. QUIT in Game 4, losing by 58.

Factor in that he consistently gets outclassed by Williams, it's disputable that CP3 is the best PG in the game. With that, then you can dispute whether he's a top 5 player. I consider him top 10.

This simply isn't the stuff of a top 5 player in the NBA.

Paul hasn't made re-adjustments as the league has adjusted to him. He's holding on too tight, afraid to move, to change for fear he'll degrade, hoping "they'll just go away" and he can re-commence his initial career rampage. It ain't gonna work...it'll only get worse.

[Findog]

I think Paul is a great player, but slightly overrated. It's hardly an insult to call him top 10 worthy of franchise player designation.

[redzero]

CP3's career high in assists: 12 per game
Oscar Robertson's career high in assists: 12
Magic Johnson's career high in assists: 13
Isiah Thomas's career high in assists: 14
John Stockton's career high in assists: 15

CP3's career high in points: 23 per game
Oscar Robertson's career high in points: 31
Magic Johnson's career high in points: 24
Isiah Thomas's career high in points: 23

What were you saying again?

I'm talking about combined totals of win shares, assists, points, PER, steals, and so on--not just points and assists.

Who would you put in front of Paul RIGHT NOW? You people are taking reputation over actual talent.

I think Paul is a great player, but slightly overrated. It's hardly an insult to call him top 10 worthy of franchise player designation.

If Paul was on the Mavs, he would be the face of your franchise. To Put Dirk and Duncan over Paul AS OF RIGHT NOW is just wrong.

[bostonguy]

sons out of the top 5 players in the NBA right now, who would you want on your team going into this season?

Son, how is Paul Pierce not on this list. I mean he is the best player in the world. He said it himself.

[BananaHammock]

As for my Wizards, here would be my preference:

1.LBJ
2.CP3
3.DWade
4.Kobe
5.D12

[tlongII]

Definitely LeBron. I'd rather have Brandon Roy than those other guys.

[Findog]

If Paul was on the Mavs, he would be the face of your franchise. To Put Dirk and Duncan over Paul AS OF RIGHT NOW is just wrong.

He would share top billing with Dirk.

[Rogue]

Son, how is Paul Pierce not on this list. I mean he is the best player in the world. He said it himself.

Chris ing Paul has a bigger absorber, which makes louder sounds than Paul does with his mouth. Since Chris Paul's words were heard by more people then they were also transmitted farther and wider, then more believable.

[Chieflion]

As for my Wizards, here would be my preference:

1.LBJ
2.CP3
3.DWade
4.Kobe
5.D12

You have Dwight as 5th for your Wizards when that is the position they are weakest in.

[FkLA]

Dwight Howard is not a m'fken TOP 5 player at this moment in time...his team went to the Finals but people are acting like he carried them or some . Hedo was arguably their best player in the playoffs and Rashard was solid as well, Howard is still way too raw on offense.

Give me Tim over Dwight right now, Dwight cannot take over a game on the offensive end at this point in time...he needs to develope some post moves. Its re ed how people completely ignore his lack of offense and automatically consider him a TOP 5 player just cause his team reached the Finals. I would place Carmelo up there instead of Howard.

As for the poll, I voted Lebron.
