Who are the top 5 players in the league. Yes in order! This is gonna be a tough

[Mask the Embiid]

LeBron
Giannis
Durant
Curry
Kawhi(until he comes back and is not that guy anymore. I got him top 5)

Honorable mention
Jokic
Wiggle
Butler
Luka

[hold this L]

1. Giannis
2. Steph
3. Joker
4. KD
5. Lebron

HM
6. Luka
7. Kawhi
8. Embiid

That's the superstar list, but you add Jimmy if we include PS only.

[Atlantis]

Jokic, Giannis, Ja Morant, Luka, Curry

[AlternativeAcc.]

1. Luka
2. Jokic
3. LeBron
4.Giannis
4. Durant
5. Tatum
6. Butler

[FultzNationRISE]

To start with, I dont think there is one best guy in every roster/situation. Some guys will look like the best in one context but then not in another. But to approximate it:

Lebron

*Huge gap*

Joker
Embiid
*small gap*
Giannis
Luka

I always feel a bit guilty putting Giannis that highly bc of how awkward he is offensively, but for the most part the refs let him do what he wants, plus hes great defensively, so the impact adds up. It’s probably the ugliest game weve ever seen in a superstar, but it seems to work.

Also I make my list based on whom Id most want to add to an average team in a playoff environment. (Not a stacked team or a regular season game etc. Hence Curry and KD not in my top 5.)

He's Giannis with a jumpshot.... Yes i do honestly believe he is still the best.... Bad team chemistry doesnt fool me....i know the real... i know who is "team made" (cough andrew wiggins) and who "makes teams" (cough chris paul)....its a difference


Ja Morant vs Trae young....its a difference

Maybe a couple years ago but Bron ain't the best anymore. I just don't see the argument. There's other players who are just as good offensively but better in other areas like defense and leadership. Bron was poor in both areas this year.

i just seen him on the best defensive team in the league 2 years ago.... i just seen him up 2-1 vs the suns(western conference winner) before AD went down 1 year ago. I just seen him average 30 ppg with a complete idiot running his pg just 1 month ago... Malik Monk was his 2nd best player on the team....let that sink in. For 50% of the season (ad hurt) Monk was by far his best teammate....malik monk

Man 1 or 2 years ago don't have anything to do with present day. He's 37 bruh. If he was early 30's this wouldn't even be a question but Bron getting up there.

[kawhileonard2]

Lebron couldn't even make the play in with peak Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony. Dude is putting up Bradley Beal numbers and empty calories/numbers. Luka on that team and they win 70+ and the titles easily in place of Lebron.

[plowking]

Giannis
Jokic
Embiid
Curry
Durant

[NBAGOAT]

Giannis
Jokic
Embiid

Tough for me after 1 and 2. Kawhi would definitely be on there if he was healthy.

[Spurs m8]

Basketball is played at 2 ends...

And is also about winning

LeBarry isn't even top 10

Steph is my favorite player, but after this past season it's really hard to rank him over Jokic.

It's hard for me to put Joker over Curry when he's BBQ chicken on every possession like he was in that first series.

[iamgine]

In Order:

1. Nikola Jokic
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
3. Luka Doncic
4. Jimmy Butler
5. Joel Embiid

Famously elite defender Stephen Curry.

[hold this L]

Famously elite defender Stephen Curry.

Only series he got cooked in was Cavs in 2016. And far more important for a 5 to be elite defensively than a 1.

Hard to get cooked when you never guard anyone who's good, unless you're completely incompetent which Curry isn't.

[Shooter]

:roll:

And I'll bet he does.

[sbw19]

Giannis
Jokic
Luka
Durant
Embiid

[Axe]

Yikes, op couldn't even mention his hero lmao.

[Phoenix]

The fact that you can actually have a top 5 list and not namedrop Luka shows how deep the current talent pool is of superstars.

[Naero]

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Nikola Jokic
3. Luka Doncic
4. Kevin Durant
5. Stephen Curry

Honorable mentions (in alphabetical order): Butler, Embiid, Kawhi (undependable health accounted for), LeBron, and Tatum.

Possibly a few jinks in this list by the end of the playoffs depending on how whoever remaining in it steps up by then. But I'm firm on these rankings for now based on their bodies of work so far and realistic expectations moving forward.

That has nothing to do with my point.

[Spuddywebby]

Embiid is way overrated on this site. Especially given how basketball is now played in the NBA.

[Mask the Embiid]

Yikes, op couldn't even mention his hero lmao.

Ive never said he was the best player....seek help.... He's been top 10 for like 3 years though
