Marc Gasol probably.

how is davis better than cousins?

cousins is capable of initiating his teams offense, not the one finishing plays off alleys/transition/putbacks and as only the roll man. hes a much better passer and rebounder, actually makes his teammates better and is a good defender now

besides looking at the boxscore how is davis a better player?

Two points is two points, why does it matter whether it came from the post or from alleyoop/transition/putbacks? If anything, that's a plus for Davis since he doesn't need the ball to put up a lot of points. Not to mention Davis puts up more points with better percentages.

How is Cousins a better passer and better rebounder? Cousins averages more rebounds because the next best rebounder he plays with is Rudy Gay, who averages 6 rebounds. While Davis is playing with Asik, who averages like 10 at the centre position. They both grab around 3 offensive rebounds a game, so that's a wash.

As for passing, Davis averages roughly the same amount of assists as Cousins while averaging like two less turnovers.

Not to mention Davis' superior shot blocking, inside defense, and perimeter defense.

Before you mention that Davis plays more minutes than Cousins, thats because Davis is smart enough to stay out of foul trouble. Which is a negative on Cousins' part btw. You can be the best player in the game playing just 31 minutes per game averaging 5 fouls per.

Marc Gasol probably.

This is probably the weakest season I have seen in a long time.

It will likely be Durant if he returns this season but for now Marc is putting in serious work on both ends of the floor.

It's not even arguable that Davis is a better passer just stop. If you knew anything about DMC you'd know his TOs are from dribbling not passing.





Pauk, shut the fuck up LeBron is not top 3 so far this season.

Durant last year...now he's injured.

Thread seems worthy.

Sorry, but if the Cavs had the best player in the league, they probably wouldn't be under .500 in a historically weak conference.

[coin24]

DMC
Davis
Steph
Gasol
Kobe



lol Pauk what a retard Bran looks like shit out there and his team isnt even .500 in historically bad conference

lolololo kobetards.... ok, sure... :)

Which means he shouldn't be dribbling that much. Davis has much less iso opportunities, so he has less opportunity to showcase his passing skills as well. It's not like DMC's passing skills are on the level of Noah or Gasol to make it a huge difference in the DMC vs AD argument.

Threads name is "Who is the best player in the NBA right now?".

Lebron is the best player in the NBA "right now", his ability to play basketball is overall better than anybodies.... "RIGHT NOW"........ "RIGHT THEN"..... "RIGHT NEXT TIME".... "RIGHT PREVIOUS YEAR" and "RIGHT NEXT YEAR"....

How his current 11 game stretch with the completely new process of teammates/coach/strategy/role looks like compared to others doesnt change that..... unless we changed the thread title to something like: "Who had the best stretch so far?" or the OP made it clear that is the criteria we have to go after...... but that is not the case.... even if that is the criteria, it will still be Lebron at the end of the season..... why? Because again, he is the best player "RIGHT NOW".....

This thread is made every year, always by a Kobetard and the responses are made like you see above, even when its CLEAR who is the best...... they cant wait, they wish for it so bad, so somebody can be better than Lebron, just anybody.... pleasssseeee..... but it never happens, you never learn....
