I thought that was Shaq till they zoomed in
Lakers should be there
Suns are a wild card and contender at the same time. No one knows how to guard them when Durant’s been playing. If they execute and are healthy they probably going to Fcuk some teams up in the playoffs
I’m fresh out, Howard…..BAMMMM!!!
The Nuggets just beat Philly and Milwaukee and are 5th? Im not even a Nuggets fan, but I hope they win it all just to see everyones reactions
Cry baby shouldn't get it!!! Janis is better, Jokic is even better!!!
Swag … KD narrative won't change much… you leave for a better team with built in leaders 3x & you are suppose to be that dude … lol
stephen a was cooking. what a list
I don’t believe in the boston celtics, sixers, or nuggets at all.
jokic is the MvP if he doesnt win it its not voter fatigue they are scared of being labeled racists cause of kendrick perkins it was after that statement his votes plumeted jokic should be the MvP easily he could be the first center ever to average a trippble double most assists avrg by a center 3rd person in history to do it nr 1 in the west embiid is 3rd in the east getting beat by giannis avoiding jokic in denver if he plays next season in denver it will be a 4 year timespan in which he hasnt played there its a charity africa award if he wins it (giannis also deserves it more then embiid)
Where's the Warriors?
I would've been surprised if Stephen A had the Bucks at #1 cuz he just can't accept the best player in the world plays in Milwaukee.
Leaving the Grizzlies off the list is criminal, everything that team and it’s players have gone through and they’re still winning 🤦🏼♂️
The Celtics are not beating us healthy I’m sorry🤦🏾♂️ and I would choose the warriors over them Tatum gone go missing come play offs
Where are the Lakers?
You are good brother
Bucks came off a back to back when playing Boston. I can't wait for the playoffs to start so the bucks can show everyone why they the team to beat.
Wrong
it's cool that you can see my apartment out the window
Can't believe a 7ft free throw shooter is going to win MVP 😂. Should be call MVSYMPTAHY this season if embiid wins it
Bro how can the warriors not be a top 5, even tho they’re struggling they still the champs. I would absolutely pick the warriors against Denver and Philly.
Clippers & Knicks gon shock the world
Y'all didn't add them @losangeleslakers !!!! there on fire and easily take all these out on this list. Y'all stay tuned 👀 Laker Nation is making a comeback. Their taking souls like the grim reaper.😂😂😂😂
Honestly outside of hockey philly sports has been killing it this year
SAS jocking and jiving in his monkey suit😂😂
That's right Stephen A Celtics all day baby 💚
Even Don King is shaking his head
Wildhorse just can't let the Celtics have their shine
Molly looks great 👀
I don’t agree with the suns. Why don’t you just go with the best records on the standing ? I do agree with Celtics being one over Bucks tho…. That A** whooping from last week makes that legit.
This is the only list I have agreed with biased Stephen A on.
Is there a reason Stephen doesn’t like Giannis ?
Suns are best team
Wrong.
Nuggets have beat this season Boston recently embarrassed the bucks.
Nuggets #1
Celtics aren't making it past the bucks. Idc that recent game is irrelevant, let's see the Celtics play 5 in 7 nights then come out and beat the bucks.
Memphis will be underrated til they actually win it all. Not even on the list and they the second seed rn. Star in Ja, DPOTY candidate JJJ and 2 TOP 3 POINT% SHOOTERS IN BANE AND KENNARD
Y’all screenshot this when Memphis make it past at least 2 of these teams
Will Stephen A ever stop dickriding Kevin Durant? KD has literally never won anything as the leader of the team. Not with Westbrook and Harden on his team. Not with Harden and Irving on his team. How far did the nets go in the playoffs last year? Oh but this time around, with the sun's, this time will be different somehow, right?
Great list tbh
To not have the kings up here is crazy
Stephen a smith world
lol i dont care about your list! this is the list of how much they pay you smith lol!
How are the 76ers in this list? They have not been past the 2nd round. James Harden chokes in the playoffs.
Nuggets and 76ers over the reigning, defending, undisputed nba championship Warriors squad?? Wow
Last I checked Golden State is the team to beat still as the defending champs
Strange how they are always bragging the west is strong than the East and he picked the 2 top teams from the East. Also the Suns are the 4th best team in the West.
I think the 76ers are better than the Suns. In fact I think the top 4 teams are in the EAST 😉🤩
💯💯💯💯💯
Then they will see the Warriors again in the Finals
ITS FLUID
Lmao bucks number one dude Giannis the best player in the game lol
Top five
Bucks
Suns
Celtics
Sixers
Lakers
