you have Kobe twice, so I'm assuming one of those is supposed to be DWade

Indeed.

Honestly, how can CP3 be better than D-Will when D-Will merks CP3 almost everytime they play? CP3 is dope, but D-Will always gets the best out of him when they meet.
Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul | Basketball-Reference.com
at CP3's numbers. D-Will completely shuts him down. CP3 shoots only 43% from the field and CP3 is a pretty damn efficient as hell player, while D-Will shoots over 50% against CP3. D-Will is 13-4 against CP3. The last 2 years D-Will has been playing with bums, but now with real talent, I think he is gonna have a great year.

melo should always at least be ranked the same as Dirk.

Both are unstoppable scorer who are weak on defense. although Melo is a better defender than dirk slightly.

Both can rebound pretty good but not great. Both are capable of outshining the best player at their position on a given night. And up until recently both had pretty similar playoff success.

Basically same strengths and weaknesses. but different ranking. its amazing what getting a ring can do for your reputation.

In the West, with Adelman as coach, I don't think any of the bolded could done it, and I'm being generous.

So your saying CP3 and Russy could've lead the Wolves to the playoffs

Why do you like exaggerating the truth?

I said I was being generous. But CP3 definitely could with Pek and Derrick Williams as his big men.

Melo has been out of the 1st Rd only once. And Dirk is a team player Melo on the other hand...

oh and Blake Griffin ain't better than Chris Bosh

 

[dem bath salts]

I'm a big DWade fan, but this is expected after an inconsistent playoffs and injuries. If he has a big year this year, he'll start getting those top 5 mentions again. If he stays inconsistent then it is what it is. This whole list is a slap in the face of melo tho. smh

Blake aint better than quite a few power forwards in the L. DeMarcus Cousins is a better all-around player than Blake is
