Everyone just forgets about Kawhi

What's crazy reading this thread that so many people equate being the best player to being the player that would win in a game of 1 on 1 ... except that basketball is a 5 on 5 game and winning matters.
Durant was EASILY his most efficient this season ... if you want the one stat that for me is the most impressive it is that his turnovers from bad passes went down from 100 last year to 19 this year ...
The whole Curry/Thompson/Green arguments of where they fall in the best players in the league is comical to me as well. The thought of any of them being glorified role players is also a literal LOL .. part of winning is sacrificing personal gain to better the team. The threat of Curry shooting is at times as powerful as his actual ability to do so ... to me, that's a sign of an elite offensive player in that they can control the game without even shooting. Green is the glue that holds the entire team together (along with Iguodala) with the versatility to do whatever needs to be done on THAT night to win games. He's as versatile of a defender in the league and on a team where the top 3 players are quiet and generally not confused with aggressive alpha males personalities on the court ... Green makes up for it and his energy can pull the team up when they need a swift kick in the ass. Thompson is the one that has sacrificed the most. He's an elite shooter and defender that has shifted the balance of his scoring to be the #1 option on the bench unit while locking down the opposition's best perimeter scorer for the bulk of the game. Anybody that thinks that his offensive skill is just that of being a great role player doesn't know shit IMO.
The best players in the league right now:
1) LBJ
2) Durant
3) Leonard
4) Curry
5) Harden
6) Westbrook
7) Irving (when engaged)
8) Greek Freak
9) Green
10) Thompson -
Stop with this whole Durant is the 4th best player on his team. Just stop.

We know he is better than Klay. -
I don't hate that list but Thompson doesn't belong. He's in the 15-20 range.Tequilla said:What's crazy reading this thread that so many people equate being the best player to being the player that would win in a game of 1 on 1 ... except that basketball is a 5 on 5 game and winning matters.

La Marcus sucks....CuntWaffle said:Yea he has Lamarcus as an anchor but he is a winner.
Not sure if he can beat the Rockets or Warriors.... but don't count out Popavich and the best defender in the NBA.
HTH -
Not a bad list other than Irving. LeBron props him up.Tequilla said:What's crazy reading this thread that so many people equate being the best player to being the player that would win in a game of 1 on 1 ... except that basketball is a 5 on 5 game and winning matters.

I know Davis hasn't won, but he's better than a few of them as well. -
I know I'm a pimp for Giannis but here's the real Greek Freak.
Edit:
Olga Famaki looks freakier.

Davis has a shitty team, but how are they really this bad with him on the team?
He seems like a perfect center for today's NBA, but at some point you have to win. -
The games were close. Just saying he'll be the best player in the league after LeBron falls off.allpurpleallgold said:

True; plus his injury history prevents him from making the next step. I still believe he will though.RoadDawg55 said:Davis has a shitty team, but how are they really this bad with him on the team?

I feel vindicated.

Leonard's team sucks bump

I love the Spurs kicking the Warriors square in the cunt.

Coach is possibly the GOAT. Parker getting injured has been somewhat of a blessing. Mills is better and deserves more minutes and Murray gives them needed athleticism and length.haie said:Leonard's team sucks bump

Late to the party, but it's fun to pile on. Leonard is 6th in the NBA in scoring, and that's what he's "worst" at. This is some tequila fucking stupid shit.

I would go with playmaking for his worst skill, but agree.dtd said:Late to the party, but it's fun to pile on. Leonard is 6th in the NBA in scoring, and that's what he's "worst" at. This is some tequila fucking stupid shit.

Aldridge is playing like an All Star at the right time. They have a chance if he keeps playing like this.

Thompson is better than Curry!

Green and Thompson both are overrated. I don't mean that as a slight either.dnc said:Thompson is better than Curry!
Green is a very good passer, but the reason he gets so many assists are the players he is passing to.
He shoots wide open shots. Great defender, but good offense always wins at the highest level.
He's not even close to being as good as Anthony Davis. Would any of you seriously start a team with him over John Wall? He's top 20, but top 10 is a huge stretch.
I would take Isaiah and Irving over Klay. Obviously a great shooter and scorer. Not a bad defender. He doesn't rebound and can't pass. Borderline top 20. -
I mostly agree though I'm higher on Green than you are just because of his defense. But yeah, Davis is better.RoadDawg55 said:

If they lose, Curry or Durant (most likely) will leave. The implosion will be beautiful.dnc said:I'm pro Durant, but this is pretty great

I kind of doubt it. The Heat lost there* first year with the big three. I think Curry and Durant would come back for one more go.RoadDawg55 said:

If they don't win a ring by next June, it will definitely implode. -
I'm also the guy that made an argument that Westbrook was the 3rd best MVP candidate this year and that a great case could have been made for both Leonard over Harden.dtd said:Late to the party, but it's fun to pile on.

They have already talked about how they are supposed to hate each other but don't. They both are free agents after this year, unlike the Heat. LeBron and Wade are actually friends.dnc said:

Their real employers are Under Armour and Nike. If they want them to leave, they will.
