Rose is too low too imo. Blake Griffin too high.
I agree with most of this.
Paul though amazing in the playoffs is way too high. Blake too. the voting ESPN did was so inconsistent. they based some of it on career some on potential it was mostly .

As for Dirk, one of the most amazing shooting seasons I have ever seen.
But people that talk that top 3 or #1 for dirk are full of . Yes he should be over both Paul and Blake but BEFORE his playoff run not even most Mavs fans would of made that case.

Now Mav fans here (and around the city) are moving Dirk up the all-time PF rankings over KG and Malone, and current ranks over better players.

Dirk is the boss as the defending champ, but let's NOT get crazy!
