After seeing the list:
-D-Wade ain't even top 10 lets be honest. nikka is about to be :flabbynsick: while Kobe has been playing in almost double the amount of seasons Wade been playing. Kobe is getting older, but he still has the skills to fall back on to still play at a high level. Wade's athleticism is slowly but surely gonna be finished, what is he gonna rely on, his weak-ass jumper? :heh: or flopping again.
-D-Rose is that dude, but he is not better than Kobe, especially after last season and D-Rose should be excluded for now cuhz we don't even know how he will be after he recovers and plays again.
-smh the dikk riding for Blake Griffin is disgusting :gag:. I'm sorry but he ain't better than Bosh, LMA, or Josh Smith. He ain't no damn top 5 PF. fukk outta here
-Don't got no issues with Love being a top 7 player. The stats he puts up are crazy. He may not be a good defender, but everything else is straight. He should cut back on the 3's a bit though.
-Rondo should not be in the top 10 or a top 5 PG until he plays like Rondo in game 2 against the Heat in the ECF this year consistently. If his shot was how it was in that game 2, :wow: the league is in serious trouble and he would literally have no weaknesses at all in his game.
-Melo is ranked too low and I ain't even a Melo stan at all. But, hopefully this sparks a fire in him. Melo needs to drive more instead of forcing up jumpers, didn't he have the best and most efficient driving/attacking the rim % last season if I remember correctly?
-Damn crazy Tony Parker still doing big things in 2012. Hold up Parker is barely 30? :merchant: I thought he was older than that, it seems like Parker been in the game forever.
-Ginobli is dope, but right now he ain't a top 25 player.
-I'm sorry but I don't get this Tyson Chandler hype thing. He is really good, but he doesn't do anything really special though. I mean how is he supposed to be the DPOTY, but get selected to only All-NBA Defense 2nd team? :heh: Honestly, KG at Center>Chandler

Better post player, has a much better jumper, better hands, more moves on the block.

We really gonna pretend like Blake Griffin has a post game? Cause if so I have yet to see it

He's a 44% career shooter from the field.

Either his post game sucks or he doesn't utilize it at all. Either way it's not good.

Blake shoots 74% within 5 feet. That can't all be dunks. He does have some semblance of a post game.

He's also the best big man in the league at drawing fouls not named Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum. Of course, a lot of that involves flopping, but hey he's getting it done in that department.

I caught plenty of Kings games last year on League Pass. Cousins got a great low post game, majority of his points come either on the block or by knocking down the mid range jumper. So im really not sure if you've actually watched Cousins play or just going by his stats

Stopped reading.

:stopitslime: Bron, Durant, Chris Paul, Dwight, Kobe, & Russy are clearly all better than D-Wade. Kevin Love, Dirk, Rondo, Melo, D-Will you can make arguments for being better than Wade easily. With D-Wade getting older, and his injury concerns, who would want a 30 year old Wade with decreasing athleticism as there number 1 option unless he get a steady jump shot. And after watching the NBA finals and the way Westbrook made Wade look old as hell when Wade was trying to guard him was comical when Westbrook was blowing by him with ease. Wade can still be a great player, but not on an every game basis like he use to which is why I don't think he is a top 10 player imo. :yeshrug:
