Is it a reach to say there is no clear cut best player in the NBA right now?

[kal ripped ken]

Russell Westbrook?

yall can't be serious

 

[smyrthil]

BTW... I can care less what Skip Bayless says... cause he's not credible to me...

Hes never been around any top NBA players.. so he cant say what he knows about them.. he has as much knowledge about the NBA as any avg person..

Stephen A Smith always ask him.. If he ever even been around Kobe, Lebron, Dwade, etc? absolutely not..

All he does is watch games at home and debates on First and 10.. he basically known as the guy that critiques Lebron lol..thats his niche..

 

[MVP]

Well that's even worse then

2009 D12 wasn't even 1/2 the player he is now (ie he only had one side of the court where he was dominant) and Pierce at no time in his life had even been the best player in the league NEVER. He was the best player in the 2008 Finals, but that's where it ends.

Best list I've seen.

Why Westbrook over Melo?

He's a chucker on offense and a liability on defense. I wouldn't put Melo over any of those 10.

Melo is a chucker and a bad defender but these guys aren't

Oh okai.


Those players all have their faults, but they're still better than Melo.

I bring up his weaknesses as much as anyone, but Westbrook is still a talented player that's only going to get better.

Cool list but i'd replace Dwight with Dirk and let D Will share that spot with CP3 because those 2 are dead even imo.

Bron, Wade, Dirk, Kobe, CP3/D Will in that order.

 I know its PC to put D12 in the top 5 but i cant ( unless its All Nba)because his offensive game is still a liability. Yes hes gotten better since workin with Dream but he still cant be counted on to get a bucket when it matters most, at least not yet. Hes basically a cleanup/putback monster on offense, defense is where he separates himself from everyone. Not tryin to discredit dude but i cant remember a top 5 player who wasnt his teams go-to guy.

Dwight shoots 72% in the clutch, his FT% is still weak at 60% though, he leads his team in usage as well. Dwight is not the same player he was 3 years ago, he has an offensive game. It isn't great, but it's more than cleanups and putbacks.
I think it's impossible not to include Dwight in one's top 5. His impact is too great defensively to be overlooked, and he's still putting up 23 a game with Jameer Nelson as his point guard. Give this man a real point guard who knows how to pass and we would see something amazing.

Notice i said im not trying to discredit dude, he is no joke and easily one of the top players. I just have a problem with him in the top 5, unless were talkin All Nba which we arent. Like i said  earlier he has made improvements , but you gotta admit he still cant be counted on to take and make big shots on a consistent basis like the rest of my list. Of  that 72% in clutch you speak off i would love to know how many were cleanup buckets vs throw it in the post and watch him go to work type buckets.

I wouldnt really argue against him , i was just trying to explain why he wasnt on my list. I might be a bit old school but when i think of the Top Top guys in the league the guys who come to mind have come thru in the clutch time after time hitting big shot after big shot. Theyre the guys who everyone in the building know is getting the ball and somehow they still make a play.
