Not to mention the Spurs' "system" has completely changed since Kawhi broke outYeah, hitting threes off the dribble at a higher than 40% clip and being one of the most efficient one on one scorers in the league is all about the system.

lol I can't defend this.
That said, I can still see ranking Lebron as #1 at this point.
Kahwi is somewhere between 4th and 7th right now. I'll take that for a 2-way player any day of the week though. Seriously, DPOY candidate for a 3rd straight year playing offensive hoops with the likes of Lebron, Curry and Westbrook? If you are hating on that, you are just hating.
* It's subject to change on month-to-month basis. Only Lebron place as best player in the leagure is undisputable and will remain so til someone severely outplays him in the playoffs and he shows noticeable signs of decline, which he hasn't.
1- Lebron (duh!)
2- Durant (showcasing how good of defensive player he's, GSW helps (playing many mins against 2nd units), but his efficiency has been ungodly..still Beta tho)
3- Kawhi (led the team to 2nd best record having Patty freakin' Mills as his most reliable sidekick.. Spurs probably have the most overrated roster in the NBA; bunch of washed-up names with Softridge barely playing like a top 30 player in the league)
4- Westbrook (dude pulling the mother of all "carrying scrubs" jobs, warts and all)
5- Paul: (still the best pure PG in the league)
6- Curry: (KD has taken the luster and mystique out of him, but his defensive regression and inability to switch to PS mode (only 32% off the dribble 3PT this season) has him looking very mortal)
7- Harden: (nice bounce-back year)
8- Davis (he was probably the best player in NBA through November..cooled off lately.)
9- Butler (this might be his peak season, he is at that age, 27.)
10- Giannis (biggest leap of any player this season)
-----didn't make the cut---
* Blake Griffin: sorry, you have all the talent in the world, but your softness is maddening, tbh.
* Paul George: Out of all elite wings, he seems like the one who has really plateaued, if not slightly regressed...
And you wonder where that djohn deliberate obtuseness in the Klay thread is coming from..he is been bad for A while..
This season imo:
1. LeBron
2. Westbrook
3. Durant
4. Kawhi
5. Harden
6. Curry
7. Paul
8. Giannis
9. Davis
10. Butler
1. LeBron
2. Porzingis
3. AlphaBrook
The Rest
HUGE Spurs fan but NO, not even close lol.First we can start with you saying Kawhi is better than LeBron
Just like I said yesterday on Curry* It's subject to change on month-to-month basis. Only Lebron place as best player in the leagure is undisputable and will remain so til someone severely outplays him in the playoffs and he shows noticeable signs of decline, which he hasn't.

"LeChoke" won the Finals with the greatest block in NBA history. The Kang's haters want to obsess over how one of Kyrie's chucks went in, but it was The Block! that crushed the Warriors' spirit once and for all.
Additionally, from 2001-2015 (unfortunately the most recent stats I could find), "LeChoke" made more playoff game-winners than Duncan, Manu, Dirk, Kidd, Shaq, or Chauncey.
Interesting. Will Curry pull a Kobe and run Durbeta offPERIOD? He already pulled a Kobe on draft day - his people told Minnesota not to draft him under any cir stances because he didn't want to play there.
Agudola playing injured or that block never happens.
Choke-P better than Curry, who has owned him since the '14 playoffs, & Harden, whose team has the same record w/ an inferior talent.
Top 3 PGs:
-Harden
-WestBrick
-Curry
....but somehow Choke-P is the 5th best player in the league.

Go look at the stats: Steph has lowkey regressed to his 2014 levels
I know it may change in the course of the season, but Curry isn't even Top 5 player in the league right now..remember when you get shocked if he missed an off-dribble 3 pointer last year..His finishing around rim is down and his defense has slipped big time..
Baby Steph gave PRIME Choke-P the business in the 2014 postseason: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...playoffs::noneGo look at the stats: Steph has lowkey regressed to his 2014 levels
Even without his shot falling (although he killed Choke-P off cuts in the 1st quarter blowout), Curry outplayed him on BOTH ends during their most recent H2H. (Choke-P stat padded in glorified garbage time ala 2014 Final LeBron)
He looks like the DPOY every time he goes up against the Cripples, tbh.
If Irving and Love weren't injured, Iguodala would still be ringless.Agudla playing injured
Even if true, you're not making the case for Lebron's greatness.
Cherrypicking some dumb sh**? No, Curry's not a very good defender.He looks like the DPOY every time he goes up against the Cripples, tbh.
Lebron sits; Cavs get destroyed by the reeling Pistons...He is vasically the difference between them being co- le favorites and a lottery team in the East..
Update:
1-Lebron
2-Durant
3-Curry
4-Kawhi
5a-Westbrook
5b-Harden
5c-Davis
8-CP3
9-Cousins
10-PG13
Cousins is carrying the kings to a playoff record and almost an inden al statsitical feats as Davis. That nutcase is the best big in the NBA.
Players who have never made it to the playoffs or won a game in the playoffs should never ever be considered top 5. Paul George has been trash all year.
Kawhi is outscoring curry whose only responsibility is to score.
Lebron
Kawhi
Durant
Harden
Curry
Westbrook
Doesnt really matter, but cousins is the best of the next bunch.
