The Athletic's Top 25 of the 21st Century

Chris Paul way too high.

Westbrick a little too high as well.

Honestly, pretty good list, my only real qualms are Kidd's a few spots too low, and I'd swap out Tatum & Melo for a number of guys, I'd probably go with Ray & Butler as their replacements.

I'm not even saying he deserves to make it, but it's crazy McGrady's not even making these lists anymore, he was definitely better than several guys who made it.

Is it crazy to put Duncan over Curry? Seems like you can't be wrong either way.

If people are being honest, no-one is taking Curry over Duncan to build a team. Not a chance.

No one? That's ridiculous In our current era I bet Steph would honestly get more consideration than Duncan would.

I'd take SGA over all of these.

13) Chris Paul
14) James Harden
16) Russell Westbrook
17) Allen Iverson
20) Paul Pierce
21) Anthony Davis
23) Jayson Tatum
24) Carmelo Anthony

SGA shouldn't even be on the list

That overrated flopper doesn't belong

[ArbitraryWater]

KD ahead of Shaq I get Shaq only 00-05 considers really but for the purpose of these lists you should just include the early 00 primers who also dominated 90s in full.

Russ has no argument in the world over SGA. Zero.

Not that I disagree, but the main thing that disfavors SGA vs others on the list right now is he's only been a star for about three years. He has the least longevity of anyone on the list for now. In a few years if they do the list again he'll obviously move much higher.

I ain't given him too much credit for a buncha regular season gimmick ball. I am admittedly a hater.

Shaq should be over Durant.
