Are people putting KD top 5 for sentimental purposes or something?

If he came back a top 5 player that would be the greatest recovery from a major injury in athletic history

This...we gotta see it first. It's a bad bad injury. Its unlikely he'll walk back in and be top 5 player off the bat. So if he isn't a top 5 player for 2 seasons how can we say he still is? Basketball doesn't stop.

 

[casper90403]

No Tatum, Embiid, Simmons, Jokic?

those guys all belong in that 2nd tier. I was just giving a few names

Simmons doesn't though.

 

[casper90403]

Simmons is 3rd tier, with PG

You understand how PER works right?

If the argument was Luka is a Top 5 OFFENSIVE player, why are you presenting PER?

How the Mavericks Built the Best Offensive Lineup in NBA History

With Luka Doncic running the point, Kristaps Porzingis manning the middle, and the right mix of role players in between, Dallas uncovered a lineup before the shutdown that put up historic numbers

Not saying Luka has passed Harden yet but

#sametier

They’re both top 10

From observation Harden is the more offensively talented played, but Luka has an overall greater impact on the game because he passes and rebounds better.

How does Luka pass better? Harden defends better as well correct?

 

[ahat]

Top 5 no order

Bron
Yanni
Kiwi
AD

Toss up between Dame and Harden for me.

Legit question: What would your opinion be? Offseason thread, to keep the discussion in here on the playoffs? Keep it in here, since a top _ _ discussion is obviously involving playoff NBAers?

Just, what's your opinion? Because I promise you this: someone disagrees with you. And some of those who disagree will just be because they don't like you.

So what do you think? Where do you personally think they'd be most fitting?

We need an ***OFFICIAL ARBITRARY LIST THREAD***

 

[don ramon]

if they really want to make some type of home court advantage shouldnt they just let the home teams bring guests to the games?

wasn't there some crazy stat a few weeks back about how team designated as the home team did like 3 times better than teams designated as away despite there not being really an away or home team? found that pretty fascinating

All these AD top 5 takes now...interesting

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Man, you gotta tag me in stuff like this or put it in the Sports MEdia thread.

It will get lost in here.

THanks either way

 

[DCAllAfrican]

All these AD top 5 takes now...interesting

Hilarious because 2 weeks ago, certain folks were saying they would take Dame Leonard over him.

 

[BennyIll22]

All these AD top 5 takes now...interesting

I could easily put Dame or Luka over him...it's kinda like meh lol. He definitely ain't the strong top 5 he was. If he was playing the way he's capable of he'd be in the mix for 1

Dame Leonard?

 

[IATT]

this some dumb shh

 

[Hahahaha]

this some dumb shh

Terrible, you need training to know that you can’t shoot an unarmed person while you have a gun and backup? Weak *** statement and he can go **** himself with that ********.

Cops could pay for better training if they weren’t constantly paying millions in hush money.

 

[MVP]

this some dumb shh

They definitely have the budgets, they're just not allocated towards training. Just the militarization of the police force. They need more emphasis on descalation tactics, more stringent background checks and community awareness in general. Kuz has been really good and vocal with his posts so I can forgive that misstep.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I mean I GET what Kuz is trying to say but he is coming off as an apologist.

So he should just stop now.

 

[king j]

Dame ain’t waste no time
