There have been a lot of bad lists so far but I think this one is the worst, and someone else stupid plus 1'd it. Wheres Durant? Garnett used to be a top 5 player, but not now. Arenas sucks right now. Noah, what the heck! Lebron should be higher even though i hate him, Yao Ming is retired and has played 5 games in the last 2-3 years. Ray Allen is still a good player, but isn't at his best and is definitely not top 10. Also why put Garnett and Allen when I'd say Rondo and Pierce have become their best 2 players. Garnett is great on defense, but didn't show much life on offense at all in the playoffs. Also I don't think Paul deserves the number 2 spot even though he is a top 10 player.
Here is my new list since the other one is getting outdated.
1.) Kobe Bryant- Barely edges out Durant here due to the fact that at the end of games he knows how to get to his spots to make shots. Durant is clutch too, but catches the ball in a bad spot and has to shot a bad shot. Kobe didn't get far in the playoffs, but still trumps Durant & Lebron due to his how good he preforms in the playoffs. Durant or Lebron will probably take this spot by the end of this next season though.
2.) Kevin Durant - The best scorer in the game right now, but needs to know how to pull his team together in tight games. In the playoffs he was a little inconsistent and needed to show leadership at the end of games.
3.) LeBron James - Great player, but he choked terribly on the biggest stage where it matters most, Kobe hasn't choked to that degree and I don't think Durant ever will.
4.) Dwyane Wade - Barely below LeBron due to the fact that he doesn't preform his best on a consistent basis. He did a lot better in the finals and was the Heats man then, but LeBron can dominate more at his position, because he is a lot bigger.
5.) Dirk Nowitzki - Barely below the top 4 because he isn't a very good defensive player, but did do pretty well in the playoffs on D.
6.) Dwight Howard - Most dominate player at his position and the best defensive player in the league. He has the potential to become number 1 in the league if he can get a good team together and win a ring.
7.) Derrick Rose - MVP of the season, but hasn't really become the kind of player that all these others have. He needs to show he can carry a team in the playoffs.
8.) Chris Paul - Great unselfish player, but can't carry a team unless the supporting cast is great.
9.) Pau Gasol - 2nd best 2nd man in the league. He knows his role and plays it well.
10.) Can't Decide between Williams, Rondo, Westbrook. Williams probably gets the spot due to the fact that he has the better all around game, but Rondo was great in the playoffs and Westbrook just keeps getting better, but needs to know when he should be the scorer.
Had to hurry through the last 3.
