Top 5 Players in the NBA updated:

[branslowski]

1. Durant
2. LeBron
3. Cp3
4. Curry
5. George

Thoughts? I mean the only spot set in stone is number 1, Durant's been far ahead of neone this season, but it seems 3-5 are interchangeable.

[Andrew Wiggins]

1. Lebron





2. Kevin Durant
3. Chris Paul
4. Paul George
5. Lamarcus Aldridge

only number one is set in stone obviously

[Harison]

Lebron still first, he just doesnt have to try that hard and can coast in a stacked team. Durant has to play out of his mind for OKC to win.

[K Xerxes]

1. LeBron
2. Durant

Those are they only ones set in stone.

[branslowski]

Sorry, Durant has been way more dominant throughout the year than Bron. Not only avg more ppg, reb, stls, blk, ft% than LeBron, he's also took his team to a better record in a stronger conference. Also 12 30-5-5 games vs LeBron's 4.....Heat can win games with LeBron scoring 15pts takin 13shots and even when he's not playing.

Not even debatable If your looking at it honestly and factually and not brainwashed by ESPN.

[Frozen1]

Paul George extremely overrated in my opinion.

sign of a great player, his mere presence makes everyone around him better :bowdown:

[K Xerxes]

LeBron's overall dominance over the past 5 years (4 mvps, 2 fmvps) counts more than Durant's in the past 30 or so regular season games.

If you say 'top 5 players in the NBA so far this year', then sure Durant is at the top. But this is not what you said. Lest we forget that Durant has started off frontrunner I the MVP race the past 3 seasons and fallen off after the all star break. While I definitely believe he'll win it this year, it really doesn't mean that much when Bron will amp it up in the playoffs.

[kurple]

Durant > Bran

i'm not even much of a lebron fan but it's impossible to argue that he's been the best player in the league for the last few years

[MASH Transit]

1. Durant
2. LeBron
3. Paul
4. George
5. Love

But Iam talkin bout this season.....:facepalm

Why you think I wrote "updated" and "Durant's been far and ahead of neone this season"??

where is rose ?

I think that's fair. Durant has been playing better than anybody this season. I don't even think that's arguable.

I'm just saying that I don't really think 30 or so regular season games means that much. LeBron is still the better player overall taking into account his unmatched dominance over the past few regular and post seasons. Until I see a decline when it matters most, I really don't care if LeBron doesn't play up to the level he's shown previously. His goal is clearly the 3 peat and when you're guaranteed a top 2 seed in the conference, playing max intensity now isn't really a priority.

[#number6ix#]

Yung Bran ain't speaking nothing but the truth... Lebron hasn't been better than KD this season thus far...

[RoseCity07]

Lebron
Durant
Cp3
Tony Parker
LaMarcus Aldridge

[avonbarksdale]

lebron
durant

lma/george/melo

[The JKidd Kid]

Lebron




Durant
CP3


Paul George

Lamarcus Aldridge

[BIZARRO]

Lebron




Durant
CP3


Paul George

Lamarcus Aldridge


I've always like his game, but dang CP3 is overrated around here.

Current KD shouldn't be in the same zip code, let alone sentence as the current CP3. It's not a rip on CP3, Durant is just that special.

On the topic of Lebron/KD, imo: You still gotta put Lebron at #1, based on the past and what we've yet to see this year in the playoffs, but make no mistake KD is coming FAST.

[branslowski]

And this is all I'm saying.......Talking about last 5 years and other shit before this season has nothing to do with who's been the top 5 players this season. Durant is clearly num 1. His pure dominance shows it and he has the facts to back it up.

[IncarceratedBob]

Durant
LeBron
Parker
Westbrook
Griffin

[fpliii]

LeBron

Durant
Davis
George
CP3

[YouGotServed]

I find it insulting that Dwight isn't on the list. lmao @ choosing curry over Howard.

[IncarceratedBob]

Dwight a top 5 player? This isn't 2009 kiddo

[pegasus]

Durant
CP3
Wade
PG
Lebron/Curry/LMA

[Bandito]

I find it insulting that Dwight isn't on the list. lmao @ choosing curry over Howard.
Howard is good enough to barely be on the top 10. Don't kid yourself.:facepalm

[YouGotServed]

lol

Dwight's been the top center in the league. Dominated Bogut twice and made Hibbert look like a child. Only an ignorant troll would say Dwight isn't top 5 at this point.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Durant
LeBron
Paul
Wade (every other game)
Aldridge

HM: P. George

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

[branslowski]

lol

Dwight's been the top center in the league. Dominated Bogut twice and made Hibbert look like a
child. Only an ignorant troll would say Dwight isn't top 5 at this point.

Except you've been the one trolling these boards...And IMO, only a troll would place Howard top 5 and lord behold, your the only one in this thread placing Howard in the top 5.

[YouGotServed]

lol only 1 person has put curry top 5 so far. guess the op is a troll? (1 has him top 8 n the other poster has 2 red bars. his opinion doesn't count) Dat logic tho.


Dwight is top 5 easily. he's dominated every center who is supposedly better than him.

[DuMa]

salty laker fans shouldnt make their opinions on top 5 lists.

[Fudge]

Yet I wasn't the one calling ppl trolls cause Howard isn't in anyone's top 5....He's barley top 10....But hey, have fun with those delusional thoughts bruh.

[MetsPackers]

Lebron haters really grasping at anything they can these days.

Lebron gaining even more rank over Kobe :violin:

[YouGotServed]

"Yet I wasn't the one calling ppl trolls"

:durantunimpressed:
u just called me a troll for having Dwight in my top 5.

He dominated Boogie?:biggums:

1st game they played
Boogie-21/10/5 50% shoot (7-7 FT) in a win
Dwight-13/10 3 blocks 57% shoot (5-13 FT) in a loss

2nd game
Boogie-17/16/2 4 steals 54% shoot (3-4 FT) in a win
Dwight-15/8/2 1 block 55% shoot (5-11 FT) in a loss
:biggums: :biggums:

[YouGotServed]

*dominated every center who is supposedly better than him

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

*dominated every center who is supposedly better than him
Boogie the best center in the league and is top 5:biggums:

[YouGotServed]

:durantunimpressed: no one thinks cousins is better than Dwight. he isn't a threat.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Yung Bran ain't speaking nothing but the truth... Lebron hasn't been better than KD this season thus far...

[red1]

No order

bron

[SilkkTheShocker]

LeBron is the best player in the NBA.

[Black and White]

LeBron is the best player in the NBA.

What does that have to do with this thread? It's about the top 5 players, not who is #1

[red1]

In that case I dont think you want to read his other posts :oldlol:

I disagree, considering CP3 is not only the best offensive player at the most stacked position in the NBA, but also arguably the best defensive player at that position shows that hes definitely in the same tier as Durant and if he gives us another 20 and 10 all defensive team season he could potentially pass Durant but I doubt it with the performance Durant has been putting on lately.

[Alan Ogg]

1. Lebron / Durant
3. CP3
4. Love
5. PG / Curry

[NumberSix]

1. Durant
2. Rose
3. D-Will
4. Joe Johnson
5. Amar'e

[knicksman]

people saying lebron is better than durant is like saying bird is better than jordan. stats says bird but impact says otherwise. Lebron in fact has to form a superteam coz he sees durant as a serious threat to not only him but to the GOaT title
