Jokic not top 3 is hilarious.
Surprised that casuals ranked LeBron that low
There’s no way 14 guys are better than Anthony Davis lol
Why the fuck do so many casual fans think Luka vs. Jokic is a debate or even that Luka > lol
Luka might be better in like 2028 or something but right now it’s clearly Jokic and shouldn’t be up for question
I was confused why Curry is always top 3 in these rankings. Then realized Giannis/Jokic/Steph are the last 3 FMVP and it made sense.
As a Bucks fan, definitely disrespectful to Jokic.
Ranking Jokic any lower than 2 at this point is just disrespectful.
Swap Luka and Jokic, and the top 7 looks a bit better, I would also put Jokic at 1 over Giannis as of now.
Shai over LeBron? Nope, I’ll take Grandpa LeBron still because this isn’t about who you would pick to start a franchise. Ant in the top 10 over Booker, Dame, Jimmy? That’s hilarious too.
This is just a few of many flaws.
BR got tired of people calling their writers a bunch of dumbasses and said “see y’all dumbasses yourselves” with this list
Imagine not having Jokic top 3.
Casuals going to casual.
Anthony Davis at 15 is completely absurd
The Ant hype train is working, highest I’d have him going into this season is 16.
SGA and Ant over Book good lord can we start the season please
These same polled fans think Banchero is better than guys like Beal, Garland, LaMelo Ball, Lavine and DeRozan lol
I am shocked that Jokic is not at minimum top 2. He just won a finals MVP and arguably should have won the MVP as well.
I know kawhi isn’t healthy but him at 19 is wild
Jokic at 4? Yikes
This is why us fans can’t have anything nice.
As soon as I saw the title of this post and that it was given a gold, I knew Jokic wasn’t going to be first lol.
Jokic at 4th lmao
Popularity contest with no real value..
Kawhi 19th, huh? Embiid behind Tatum? Jokic 4th? Yeah. None surprise me. Jokic in particular is never gonna get the credit he really deserves because of his perceived lack of athleticism and the fact he isn’t the most personable character. He doesn’t win/play interesting enough for the average fan who isn’t very basketball literate.
Steph is still better than both Doncic and Tatum. Unquestionably, IMO.
That Ant hype crazy
Where is Sabonis??
Jokic is absolutely #1
Why is Tatum always ranked so high? I feel like he always sneaks into the top 5 discussions but he is very inconsistent. He’s on Booker’s level.
Y’all need to look at the rest of this list.
37) Beal
38) LaMelo
39) DeRozan
40) LaVine
41) Harden
42) Jrue
43) Wembanyama
Ant over Booker is just pure dickriding
Make it be known I am a certified Anthony David hater, but no way is he that low under guys like Mitchell or Edwards
If you want to put Giannis or Steph in front of Jokic go ahead, a case can be made for either of them. Doncic in front of him is laughable.
As a Mavs fan, these readers are dumbasses putting Jokic at #4.
Luka over Jokic LMFAO
I think Edwards is going to be a special player no doubt, but there is no precedent based on his current trajectory that he is a top 10 player… most players that came close to mimicking his path go into this next season still not making an All-NBA team, and finish around 25th in MVP or All-NBA voting. He’s going to be a Top 20 player this year at best. Top 10 is just silly on its face.
Ad below Donovan Mitchell made me throw up
How is Luka > Jokic? Who the fuck thought Luka is better than Jokic?
I thought Slovenia’s entire population is only 2M+?
