  1. My guess for his top 10:

    1. Joker
    2. Giannis
    3. Steph
    4. Kevin Durant
    5. Luka
    6. Tatum
    7. Lebron
    8. Anthony Davis
    9. Embiid
    10. Jimmy Butler

  2. Booker is absolutely top 10

    edit your assessment is fair after listening to the video, but db is still top 10 in my eyes and I would absolutely take him over Tatum. Let me put it this way. If you could have one player to win a playoff game and you had jt or db to choose from, who are you picking? I’m db 100 times out of 100

    edit edit also shoutout the Tucson natives. It’s hot outside. No excuses, let’s still get it

  3. Booker is STILL to this day getting underrated idk if I’ve ever seen a player get so underrated throughout his entire career. Zions rookie year espn had him ranked above Devin Booker that averaged 26 a game the year before 😂. Book gets a solid team around him and is the #1 option on a finals team instantly and averaged 28 a game in the finals. Proceeds to lead a team to the #1 and #2 seed while doing so. He has more 40 point playoff games than LARRY BIRD in 2 playoff runs. 7th highest playoff ppg in history. Yet SOMEHOW here we are saying players like JT who averaged 20 on Westbrook efficiency in the finals, and Jimmy who plays one good series a playoff run are better. It’s actually baffling how little respect the man’s gotten since entering the league just because he’s on a small market phx team.

  4. kawhi IS a top 5 player when healthy no question, but expecting him to finish a season as a primary option, I just think its impossible. He's cooked. His knees are done. He's got serious, irreparable harm to his body, and while he can play in bursts, he cannot sustain it. It's just not going to happen. Fair assessment nonetheless, but he will not be able to sustain his health at this current pace. not playing 40m playoff games. just not happening.

  5. Great video. Analysis on kawhi was really fair. Glad you brought up the injuries but mostly pushed it to the side 👍

  6. I’m a big Kawhi fan. I think if he’s healthy he can beat anybody in the top 25. But that’s a big IF. Which I’m not very confident in these days. So I’m cool with him and Book outside of the top 10 at the moment. But I still ain’t riding with Ja not in the top 25, that’s wild.

  7. I think we have recency bias for Booker bc of how nutty his pull up jump shooting was this playoffs

  8. Why are so many injury prone players getting a pass?? And the Lakers bais makes me not take your list seriously. Respect your knowledge but players that are old and injury prone can't still be top ten.

  9. Top 1-3
    Jokic, Steph, Giannis
    4-10
    Embiid, Luka, Tatum, KD, AD, Jimmy, Bron- no particular order but this is my guess of the order Jason will go with

  10. Booker has to be in the top ten, would like to see your list from the past few days at the start or end of the show off on the side or flash it full screen while you read adds

  11. Crazy how much leeway Embiid gets, dude has never done anything in the playoffs yet gets ranked above people who have done more
