Why is ad in the top 10?
the list is trash you cant be seriously saying that there are 100 players better than derrick white
Jokic does deserve to be #1 after his phenomenal performance last season but let’s be real defensive Giannis & Jokic are not close at all
no jamal murray in the top 10 🙃🙃🙃
I have no problem giving it to Joker, but I think we're going to see how good Giannis truly is now that he has a great point that can take some pressure off of him. They all talk about great Joker was, but they leave out how Murray time after time put the team on his back.
It was empty stats for Booker, but not for SGA…
Malika and the other women definitely aren't friends 😂
Jokic is number 1 today. because you talking about today. why are they always put Giannis at number 1 his mvp is a thing in the past only one 1 championship. Hey analysts stop the disrespect. because if you always talk about his past mvps and championship then Steph and Lebron are by far dominant in championships and mvps. honestly if giannis is dominant why was he was swept by Boston😂
Who tf do they have 2 girls on here and bench warmer Richard Jefferson talkin basketball tf is going on at espn
How is Doncic ahead of Curry when he didn't even make the play-in tournament… forget playoffs, he wasn't even in the play-in…
Also, how is Lillard at 14 when Shai is 8 and Doncic is 4… Lillard had a comparable season to both those players… I don't want to hear this age nonsense… sounds like the Brady cliff theory which didn't happen for like 8 years until he finally retired. It's just an excuse to put young players higher than they should be… like ANT above Dame is also ridiculous…
And how is SGA above Booker? Booker isn't old… the man had an amazing post season…
Lebron not over SGA??? Whose picking SGA over Lebron if they want to win this year…
Jokic obviously over Giannis.
Embiid over Curry? Are we going to ignore Embiid's playoff performance?
1) Jokic
2) Giannis (injured during playoffs)
3) Lebron (Conference Final performance nearly on par with Jokic and > Tatum and KD)
4) Curry
5) Tatum
6) KD
7) Embiid (lacking playoff performance)
8) Doncic
9) Booker (great playoffs)
10) Dame (team wasn't trying to get to playoffs)
11) AD (consistency issues however amazing defense and rebounding)
12) Butler
13) SGA
14) ANT
15) Kawhi/Zion (injuries)
OMG the hate on Jokic is real! shame on these motherfuckers…
Don't get me wrong, I think he's got a very bright future, but Shai is currently the most overrated player in the league
Bucks should have 2 top 10 spots with Giannis and Lillard. SGA should be removed.
The entire list is a joke. They got Kawhi at 24 because of injury concerns, but got AD and LeBron top 10 lol. SGA is also not top 10.
Jokic is clearly #1. It's not even a question.
Sheesh no American players is in the top 3….
Damian Lillared out of the top 10 TF!?
I don’t think Giannis is number 1. But bring from Milwaukee I will accept it 😃
Lmaoooooo 9 and 10 more like 4 and 5
. My top 15 right now (based on playoffs + regular season)
1) Jokic
2) Giannis (injured during playoffs)
3) Lebron (Conference Final performance nearly on par with Jokic and > Tatum and KD)
4) Curry
5) Tatum
6) KD
7) Embiid (lacking playoff performance)
8) Doncic
9) Booker (great playoffs)
10) Dame (team wasn't trying to get to playoffs)
11) AD (consistency issues however amazing defense and rebounding)
12) Butler
13) SGA
14) ANT
15) Kawhi/Zion (injuries)
Lebron only rank that low is because they feel he only has couple years left they need a new face for the NBA…
Switch Jimmy for SGA, and move Jimmy below LeBron. Switch Embiid and Curry, switch Giannis and Jokic.
Jimmy Butler at 12 is criminal easily top 10
