Right now, who are the top 5 players in the association?

lebron kobe durant melo

zbo/cp3/one of parker/duncan

[QUOTE=alenleomessi]did cp3 like die?
clips are 16-6[/QUOTE]
People aren't smart enough to realize that Paul's numbers are down as a result of him only playing 33 mpg, so they assume that since his numbers are down he's somehow playing worse. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Young X]People aren't smart enough to realize that Paul's numbers are down as a result of him [B]only playing 33 mpg[/B], so they assume that since his numbers are down he's somehow playing worse. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

So, Duncan is averaging in [B]30.5 mpg[/B]:
17.9 pts / 10.4 rebs / 2.5 asst / 2.6 blks 51.5%FG 78.4%FT

Last night vs UTA in [B]33 minutes[/B]: 22 pts / 21 rebs / 6 blks

Don't expect him to keep this up for an 82 game season, but talk about turning back the clock.

[QUOTE=Borat]No they aren't. They are ok role players, but not quality.[/QUOTE]

If those guys are "role players", then Barnes, Odom, Turiaf, Hill, and Green can't be any better. I know the Lakers would swap Jamison, Blake, and Meeks for those three in a second.

[QUOTE=PyrrhusX]I said my reply supporting Lebron on why he is in the top 5 yearly even though he is in a stacked team (moreso in previous years).

Arguably Rondo, Parker, Duncan and Paul can all claim for that 5th spot. :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]

His averages are similar to last year's (where he finished 3rd in MVP voting), so what's changed?

Melo and Kobe are playing better this year than the last? The you come to the CP3/TP/TD/ZBo/Rondo arguement for 5th, which can go either way depending on person.

LeBron among the top 4 (LeBron, Kobe, Durant, Carmelo) is the only non-ballhogger. Wow!

Durant, who is team mates with Russell Westbrook, is a ball hogger? Well thats news to me.

Melo has been top 5 this year.. Remember pre season espn ranked him 17th? :oldlol:
