Who's the 2nd-best player in the East?

[TheNig]

Kobe

 

[HoopLife]

Kyrie wasn't even sniffing the playoffs before LeBron and now he's the second best player in the East?

but but but Lebron doesn't make players around him better

 

[Dr.HannibalLecter]

Goddamn the East is trash

That's one thing hip hop and the NBA have in common

Durant

When fully healthy, I'd say D-Rose or Paul George.

This year, though? Hell, you could make a case that Pau Gasol was the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference this season.

Drose ..you'll see

Rose was healthy this year and he was horrible.

The Paul George and John Wall disrespect is astounding

what's the disrespect though... he's insanely overrated imo. George is a good player and its always tough when comparing people that play different positions but other than the fact that he's young George isn't an outstanding talent to me. I think butler is better, I think wall is clearly better, melo is better

 

[Stone Cold]

the only player in the east besides lebron to win mvp

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I'm not gon lie the first name that popped to my head was Kyrie but than scrolling down this thread I forgot all about Melo. PG when healthy, but Kyrie is there

 

[Brozay]

 

[Osmosis]

It's probably Melo. It's DEFINITELY not Wall though. He'd be lucky to make the top 5.

The east is scary trash talent wise.

LeBron







Everybody else.
