Do we agree with this ESPN 25 under 25 list? (NBA)

[jwinfield]

Both players were injured vs the spurs blake had a sprained knee and paul had a sprained thumb on his shooting hand

Give chris paul a top 2 defense and the #1 rebounding team like rose had in 2011 and they're going to the finals.Great pg's make others better rose doesn't nikkas overrate rose crazy on here

And Rose wasn't injured?

Rose didn't fukk up his ankle towards the end of the year and re-aggravate it in the early round?

Boozer and Noah weren't struggling with injuries?

And Paul had the 5th best offense and 7th best defense in his 3rd year, balance which is much more indicative of a finals berth and lost in the 2nd round.

 

[gho3st]

What did westbrook do wrong exactly? He put up 27 and 7 and looked like the only nikka with heart in game 4 when he put up 43.

Unless you mean Rose was coming off the bench for Harden instead

bruh...Rose is better then Westbrook.

He fukked up his ankle in game 1 then dropped 44 points in game 3 in that same series vs atlanta.Just stop it bruh

Rose was completely healthy that miami series.His ankle had no problems when he was splitting double teams and dunking on joel anthony

 

[Scustin Trillberlake]

Ibaka over love? Cism. Demarcus is way too low, dude is a beast.

And I'm guessing Griffin's knee was healed around this point

Clippers Vs. Spurs - How Limited is Chris Paul? - Clips Nation

The Clipper stars have been hit as well. It's difficult to know exactly how much Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are limited by the injuries they suffered in Game 5 of the Grizzlies series. And it's very likely, even probable, that the Clippers would be behind 2-0 in their second round series with the Spurs even with their stars at full strength, because San Antonio has been so great.

Paul and Griffin will never admit exactly how much they are hurt, but there are some things we can observe. For one thing, the Clippers were 3-1 in the playoffs before they were hurt -- they're 1-4 since.

More telling for me, since the moment he was hurt with a little over seven minutes remaining in Game 5 against the Grizzlies, Chris Paul has yet to make a basket in the fourth quarter of five playoff games. In over 30 minutes of fourth quarter playing time, Paul has scored three points, all of them free throws. This is the player who was among the very best in the fourth quarter all season, the player who carried the Clippers to victory on countless occasions.

It's circumstantial evidence admittedly, but it's pretty obvious that Paul has been severely limited by his strained hip flexor. It's not surprising that the Clippers are losing with Paul impaired, and they'll continue to lose unless he returns to something resembling full strength.

Chris Paul was hurt in the 1st round and had a hip flexor the sprained thumb was in the olympics I got the injuries confused

Griffin don't change the game like paul

I dont think one poster has said anything about Brandon Jennings, am I the only one that thinks 20th is too low for him?

And what the fukk has the unibrow done to get put 13th?

Irving and Rose should both be in the top 5 instead of flake Griffin and Lames Harden. Rose vs Westbrook could be argued either way, Id take Rose by just a lil bit. No hes not a great playmaker but id still say hes a good playmaker. Hes not quite as explosive as Westbrook but hes more under control. However, im basing my opinion off of when we last saw Rose healthy. The big question with him is will he be as explosive as he was prior to the injury, and how long will it take him?

CP3 by the way is a better all around point guard then both of them. But they can both give CP3 problems style wise with their superior athleticism, at least Westbrooks

Id take Holiday Styles over Ibaka, Love and Lopez


This list is terrrble ernie

fck this list if DRose isnt top 2. lol@ blake griffin top 5, fck that beige flopping prick. that white llama kevin love > beige griffin as far as forwards go.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

at being more comfortable with westbrook running an offense over rose... when the thunder barely even run an offense.

at westbrook being a better shooter than rose

at westbrook being a better playmaker

at westbrook being a better player than rose
