really

 

[jc619er]

gotta secure the bag

This thread in shambles tonight. Got dudes in here trying to rationalize this Kawhi Leonard hands havin' ork.

 

[RIP Screw]

Kawhi not better than healthy Durant. Nope nah.

This too. People get so caught in the moment

 

[tramericanjr]

When people pick their top 5 and top 10 and negate to mention or factor in who is the better defender .... cause that alone will have harden off that list .... Lebron doesn’t play defense like before .... curry has never been a good defender

That's because most players don't play high level defense. Offense is more important.

 

[friscostylez]

KD
Klaw
Burry
Beard
Greek
Bron

Russ is an outlier. And he won MVP for averaging a triple double for 1st time in 40 years, so it was justifiable at the time.

Most times, MVP is pretty significant. In fact, some Lakers fans were in here pumping up that AF came in 3rd in MVP voting once.

But hey, you picking AD over Giannis is pretty consistent with your takes in this thread, so go for it...

You just adding in **** that doesn't even matter. Russ won MVP period. You saying because Gianni's won MVP he's over AD

That reasoning you gave for him over AD being top 5 is just wrong. Not a hot take at all.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Philly bout to be stuck tryna figure this Ben Simmons thing out forever. 2 years from now people still gon be saying "He's a jumpshot away from being Lebron!!".

Draymond green ? Lmaoo. That clown not even top 3 within his own position

Who dat in your avy?

 

[RIP Screw]

"He's a jumpshot away from being Lebron!!"

As much as I hate em, there will never be another King James

 

[bostoiah]

Offensively ad is better .... defensively it’s a toss up so I don’t have a problem with igg someone saying ad is better

Yea you really can’t go wrong with either. Giannis’ dominance this season puts him over AD for now

You just adding in **** that doesn't even matter. Russ won MVP period. You said because Gianni's won MVP he's automatically over AD

That reasoning you gave for him over AD being top 5 is just wrong. Not a hot take at all

It could go either way. Giannis has improved every year of his career. His jumper has gotten better and he's shown he wants to improve his 3. He's great at everything other than shooting 3's. At 7'0 ft he can play point, his vision is close to Lebron's. His defense is a monster.

And yeah him winning 60 games and going to the ECF means something. He had a better team than AD has had but Giannis wasn't playing with no certified multiple time allstars. He dominated this year on both ends.

I mean it really is, he makes 3 jumpers a game that's a 23-8-8 line

 

[whitemamba27]

we still including KD in best player talks?

It's definitely close but I'm taking a healthy AD over Giannis at this point. He acting like choosing AD over Giannis was crazy like AD is Draymond or something.

And I never said going to the ECF or deeper in the playoffs didn't many anything. Gianni's just had the better team.

Why wouldn't we?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

AD aint really all that good. Bron washed. Even if Kawhi went to the Lakers the clippers would still be better. That's my take

 

[whitemamba27]

Why wouldn't we

i mean he won't be coming back until november 2020 and not as the same player

 

[everysingletime]

Giannis over AD for sure. AD had Holiday and Cousins and I don't think he even advanced past the first round with em

They whooped Portland's *** in the first round season before last and Boogie was out
