West or East? Who has the more impressive starting 5?

[AngelEyes]

East

LeBron
Carmelo
Wade
Paul George
Lowry


West

Kobe
Durant
Steph
Westbrook
Leonard


I feel that even though the West has Kobe in their starting lineup they still have a far more impressive starting lineup. The east has some guys like LeBron, Wade and Carmelo who are getting older, Wade & Melo especially are showing their age. George has also become one of the biggest inefficient chuckers in the league. Lowry is an excellent player but not on the same level as the four stars on the west starting lineup.

[STATUTORY]

leonard would put Bran shit in a straight jacket

Wade still can't check Kobe even at his advanced age

Steph and Durant would smoke Melo and Lowry

[BuffaloBill]

The team with 4 of the top 5 players in the world

[ArbitraryWater]

One team is playing 5-4 out there on both ends, so they'll always win.

nah honestly wes

[Draz]

West for sure.

[TheMarkMadsen]

The team with 4 of the top 5 players in the world


easily this

[HenryGarfunkle]

The team who doesn't have Kobe. He's that bad.

[hateraid]

Both are underwhelming.

[AngelEyes]

Both are underwhelming.

It's not what it has been in the past but the West seems overwhelmingly more impressive than the East despite their obvious weak spot.

[Legends66NBA7]

Wish Draymond was in the starting lineup.

Wish Draymond was in the starting lineup.

There's no place for him with it being the Kobe going away party.

Kawhi is overrated he is not top 5 let alone top 10. :facepalm

He's easily top 10, probably easily top 5 as well.

he still literally put the fear of god into Lebron last time they saw each other tho, this is the moment where Lebron visibly exited his prime

I know. Just saying he should be there.

[Lebronxrings]

the team who plays both offense and defense.

What terrible starting lineups - not one big man. What happened to basketball where height is supposed to be everything?

This will change very soon. Towns will be plugged into that 5 spot for the next decade.

Probably. Kobe would still average his 17 PPG on 30% shooting, but Wade would drop 30+ on 70% TS on Chokebe.

The West have the East murdered at every position except the SG (Wade >>>>>> Kobe) and SF (LeBron > Kawhi) though. Even the WC's bench is so much better.

[D. Toretto]

LeBron < Durant
Carmelo < Leonard
Wade < Kobe
Paul George < Westbrook
Lowry < Steph

West by a TRUCKLOAD. :bowdown:

[GrapeApe]

LeBron < Durant
Carmelo < Leonard
Wade < Kobe
Paul George < Westbrook
Lowry < Steph

How the hell is current Kobe in any way > current Wade? Wade is actually having a nice season (19/5/4/1/.5 on 46% and a 21 PER).

[D. Toretto]

Yeah, that's true. Doesn't necessarily mean better player currently. Personal sympathy was a criteria for my choices as well. :D

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

West has 4 of the top 5 players and if u include Draymond instead of kobe they have the top 5 players in the league

That guy is an idiot. Look at his posts. He must be a Kobetard.

[aj1987]

West has 3 of the top 5 players and if u include Draymond instead of kobe they have the top 3 players in the

FTFY. :cheers:
