You pretty much have to say the 5 guys everyone is saying here. They've been a step above this year

[Velocirap31]

It's really been the mentioned 5 guys in varying order. I'd fear Lebron the most in the playoffs though when he turns it up a notch.

[Jlamb47]

I ment to say Davis sorry guys

Not me.

[Kingwillball]

Wait there are people actually saying there are 3 or 4 players better than lebron ? Don't give a crap what the mvp race say lebron is easily the best player nothing has changed. Certainly none of the players people are listing are superior players.

[T_L_P]

1. Westbrook

Switch Westbrook for Davis and you have my exact list, tbh.

And the Cavs have another top 10 or 11 player in LeBron James.

[ArbitraryWater]

Anybody who doesn't have LeBron 1st, won't take you seriously :oldlol:

[Jlamb47]

Anybody who doesn't have LeBron 1st, won't take you seriously :oldlol:

Lebron is not first...... Westbrook, Curry, and Harden all > Lebron at the moment and season. They also all play in a harder conference and have better records except Westbrook due to his injnuries

[aj1987]

Harden and Curry are not on LeBron's/WB's level.

1/2. Westbrook/LeBron
3. AD
4. Curry
5. Harden

[ArbitraryWater]

Lebron is not first...... Westbrook, Curry, and Harden all > Lebron at the moment and season. They also all play in a harder conference and have better records except Westbrook due to his injnuries

They're not better scorers, playmakers, defenders, or as efficient... or have as much impact, and pretty sure the Cavs been on 65 win pace since LeBron's return from injury and the trades.

[aj1987]

Jlamb47 is a ****ing idiot. Not a surprise.

Curry, Harden, and Westbrook all 3 have a better RPM stat than Lebron which shows they do have more impact. Westbrook defense is just as solid as Lebron and hes declining on that end. Harden is probably the best scorer in the NBA right now while Durant is hurt because him healthy would be the best player in the NBA. Lebron is top 5

[Jlamb47]

Jlamb47 is a ****ing idiot. Not a surprise.

You dont know sh1t pvssy, Westbrook, and Curry play less minutes but have stats thats better or just as good. Hes in the East, finally found his rhythm

[sd3035]

Wow some sensitive Lebron fans in this thread :roll:

[T_L_P]

Jlamb47 is a ****ing idiot. Not a surprise.

Kyrie is on the same team as LeBron yet he has one more win, tbh.
I'm just trolling.
How do you explain that?

[SugarHill]

Start of the season, people were finding ways to keep Harden out of the top 20 and shit and it was actually common lmao

[Graviton]

Kyrie is on the same team as LeBron yet he has one more win, tbh.
I'm just trolling.
How do you explain that?
Epic fail. :lol

Oh you edited it out.

[Jlamb47]

Wow some sensitive Lebron fans in this thread :roll:
They have nothing to talk about but Lebron

[BuffaloBill]

Anybody who doesn't have LeBron 1st, won't take you seriously :oldlol:


This season? There's nothing wrong with having bron #1 on your list, but this season there are 3 or 4 guys you could put in the top spot based on what they have done this season

[Jlamb47]

This season? There's nothing wrong with having bron #1 on your list, but this season there are 3 or 4 guys you could put in the top spot based on what they have done this season

He dont know sh1t but Lebron

[G0ATbe]

Durant
Westbrook
Kyrie
Curry
Davis

Honorable mention: Kobe

[ArbitraryWater]

This season? There's nothing wrong with having bron #1 on your list, but this season there are 3 or 4 guys you could put in the top spot based on what they have done this season

How are there 3 or 4 guys? LeBron has played more games than Davis, Durant, and Westbrook...

the only ones who would have a chance are Stephen Curry and James Harden.

So, if you go the "what they did this season" route then he's at worst 3.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Curry
LeBron
Westbrook
Harden
Durant/Davis

Lebron being one of the 3 or 4. The others being Westbrook, harden, and maybe curry.

How many more games has Lebron played than Westbrook? That's a bad argument

[ArbitraryWater]

You made the games played argument by saying "this season" :kobe:

And its 4, btw

[SwayDizzle]

1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Harden
4. Lebron
5. Davis
It's really close between Curry and Westbrook for me. When Westbrook doesn't force shots, I believe he is the best.

[Roundball_Rock]

1) LeBron
2) Westbrook
3) Davis
4) Harden
5) Curry

[BuffaloBill]

I didn't say anything about games played. By this season I mean exactly that, what they have done this season.

[pauk]

1. Russell Westbrook
2. James Harden
3. Stephen Curry
4. Lebron James
5. ?? I would say David but hes been hurt

Why not just remove him from your top 5...


On a more serious note...

1. Lebron
2. Durant

3-4-5. No idea... arguable between Davis/Harden/Westbrook/Curry & maybe somebody else.

[Mawly-G]

The way Westbrook is playing right now, its hard to say that anyone else is better than him at the moment. Dude is balling out of his mind. With that said:

1. Russell Westbrook
2. James Harden
3. LeBron James
4. Stephen Curry
5. Kevin Durant

In that order.

[JerrySeinfeld]

All of the guys he put above LeBron have been playing better than him this season...

[pauk]

Can somebody please explain this criteria of thought that gives you the logic and ration to comfortably actually think Westbrook, Curry, Harden are better than Lebron/Durant?

[f0und]

this thread just made me realize how sub par the NBA is this year. we only have one alltime great(lebron) playing in his prime. every other good/great player is either past their prime, hasnt hit HOF status yet, or is injured.

[Graviton]

Can somebody please explain this criteria of thought that gives you the logic and ration to comfortably actually think Westbrook, Curry, Harden are better than Lebron/Durant?
Idk maybe the criteria you yourself used to prop up Lebron? Or have you forsaken your stat Gods at ESPN? :lol

So you'd agree LeBron > Durant in the regular season last year due to RPM?

What about Chris Paul > Durant last year?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

1. LeBron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Anthony Davis
4. Stephen Curry
5. Russell Westbrook

[T_L_P]

this thread just made me realize how sub par the NBA is this year. we only have one alltime great(lebron) playing in his prime. every other good/great player is either past their prime, hasnt hit HOF status yet, or is injured.

The season has still been great.

Thank God team play and smart defense is finally starting to catch on...who gives a shit about all these 'me' stars?

[pastis]

Switch Westbrook for Davis and you have my exact list, tbh.

And the Cavs have another top 10 or 11 player in LeBron James.

so love is a top 5 player right now. per under 20. enemys defense focusing on lebron or kyrie penetrations...:biggums:

[chazzy]

They're not better scorers, playmakers, defenders, or as efficient...
Curry and Harden have been more efficient

[pastis]

RIGHT NOW TOP 5:

1. King James
2. WB
3. Harden
4. Curry
5. Davis/KD

healthy KD would be #1 or #2

[Budadiiii]

Durant
Westbrook
Curry
Davis
???

LeBron turns it over way too much to be on the list and Harden is a shit defender

[Fudge]

So you'd agree LeBron > Durant in the regular season last year due to RPM?

What about Chris Paul > Durant last year?
Durant > LeBron today and that's all that matters, brah.

[RedBlackAttack]

LeBron is the best player in the league right now by a fair margin. His overall impact on games is still at an all-time level. I say that as someone who has been one of his biggest critics over the years. I never doubted his game, though.

If he has lost anything, it is minimal and made up for in other areas.

At this very moment, I'd go ...

1. LeBron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Steph Curry
4. James Harden
5. Russell Westbrook

I love Anthony Davis, but I don't think he belongs on this list yet. And, Kyrie is probably my favorite player in the league, but he still has a bit of work to do as well. Easy to forget those guys are 21/22 respectively.

[f0und]

The season has still been great.

Thank God team play and smart defense is finally starting to catch on...who gives a shit about all these 'me' stars?

i didnt say anything about 'me' stars. i said 'alltime greats', 'HOFers' in their primes. like in the 90s with jordan, barkley, drexler, shaq, ewing, pippen, robinson, hakeem, etc. all at their peak leading top teams.

Well said! Bron is still the best player in the L. He's the most versatile player of all time in the prime of his career. It's hard to compete with that. In terms of that top five, I think u nailed it. I think Davis is the best big man in the world, but it's hard to argue that top five. And there's no question that the top six players in the world are Bron, Durant, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, and Davis.

The top 5 players this season have been

1. Davis
2. Curry
3. Westbrook
4. Harden
5. LeBron

Durant has been injured too much although his play has definitely been better than anyone on this list not named Davis when healthy. This isn't the 5 best players in the NBA, but who has played the best THIS season. LeBron has had by far his worst year in a long time this season.

The actual top 5 players in the league are

1. Durant/LeBron
2. Durant/LeBron


3. Westbrook
4. Davis

5. Curry

Well technically, the thread title says "Right Now". Thats different than saying who's been the best this season. Right now, if Durant is healthy, he's still the 2nd best player in the league:confusedshrug:

This. LOL at these haters having the audacity to act like Curry and Harden are even in Lebron's class. Great players, but not on the King's level.

Durant has missed a lot of time, so im not putting him in the top 5 players list. For me it goes:

1. LeBron
2. Westbrook
3. Harden
4. Curry
5. Davis

[VengefulAngel]

1. Lebron James
2. Kevin Durant
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Stephen Curry
5. James Harden/Davis

My list is based on past and current performances.

RIGHT NOW IN THE NBA

[VengefulAngel]

no one cares:


I would take LBJ and Durant over any of the other players right now. They have been the most consistent over the last 3 years.

Plus your list is almost exactly the same....

Is my opinion worth less than yours?

If not, please shut the **** up.
