Top 10 Players In the NBA Right Now

[Rip32]

Spurs started to look like a crap. The oldest team. What will they do with +30 year old stars and no young fellas except Hill and Blair?

And one of the best young European big and the leading scorer in college hoops last year.

Badger, you ARE a crap.

get a high draft pick. And maybe pick up Perry Jones or Kyrie Irving.

[benji]

Hard to get a high draft pick when you win 50 games.

[Murat]

That's gonna be a bump, but sorry. I'm serious.

1. LeBron James
2. Derrick Rose
3. Dwyane Wade - Lost his greatness after LBJ came to Florida. He failed at owning LeBron.
4. Dwight Howard
5. Kobe Bryant
6. Kevin Durant - No, he isn't same as it was 2 years ago.
7. Chris Paul
8. Blake Griffin - A Point Guard changed him to a better explosive superstar.
9. Dirk Nowitzki - Finals MVP. I like him.
10. Kevin Love

6. Kevin Durant - No, he isn't same as it was 2 years ago.

I honestly disagree, his game is even more evolved now to an all-arounder, instead of being a scorer. But I guess you know best about your own opinions

10. Kevin Love

Here's mine:

Taking into account their current level of play:

1. Dwight Howard
2. Kobe
3. LBJ
4. Kevin Love
5. Blake Griffin
6. Kevin Durant
7. Rajon Rondo
8. Josh Smith
9. Chris Bosh
10. Jose Calderon

Taking into account the last 10 years:

1. Tim Duncan
2. McGrady
3. Ray Allen
4. Paul Pierce
5. Kevin Garnett
6. Kobe
7. Marcus Camby
8. Ben Wallace
9. Chauncey Billups
10. Shaq

3. Dwyane Wade - Lost his greatness after LBJ came to Florida. He failed at owning LeBron.

Sad as it is I agree with Rudy on this one. Wade failed to keep his pimp hand strong and keep his bitch LeBron in check, which chokes on the job.

Here's a new top-10 list for this season so far:

1) LeBron
2) Dwight
3) Kobe
4) Rose
5) Love
6) Durant
7) Blake
8) Rondo
9) Melo
10) LMA

[Andrew]

Kobe ranking in at third is a bit too high, in my view. Yes, he had that string of 40 point games but he's also had some very ordinary games like the 6/28 performance against the Nuggets. His numbers are far from terrible of course but right now he's basically just gunning his way up the all-time scoring list while the Lakers flounder and lose to teams they should be beating. He's playing like he was circa 2006, more Dominique Wilkins than Michael Jordan.

Right now, I'd go with something like:

1. LeBron James
2. Dwight Howard
3. Kevin Durant
4. Derrick Rose
5. Kobe Bryant
6. Kevin Love
7. Chris Paul
8. Rajon Rondo
9. Blake Griffin
10. Dwyane Wade

[Lamrock]

It's been a while... Here's my top 10:

1. LeBron James
2. Dwight Howard
3. Kevin Durant
4. Chris Paul
5. Derrick Rose
6. Dwyane Wade
7. Kevin Love
8. Kobe Bryant
9. Dirk Nowitzki
10. LaMarcus Aldridge [/homer]

Rondo, Tyson Chandler and Ginobili just miss out.

[Andrew]

I'd definitely put Dirk in the top ten if we're talking talent. If we're talking performance so far this season, I'd rank him a little lower as he hasn't really gotten going yet. Same reason I've got Wade in at tenth.

[rise]

My list was based on performance in this season. If we're talking about talent, my list would be almost identical to Lamrock's, only Wade would be #4 and Blake Griffin would be at #10 over LMA.

[Sideshow Bob]

My List.
1) LeBron(Scoring champ But wont win MVP)
2) Durant(Will win MVP)
3) Wade
4) Griffin
5) Rondo
6) Aldridge(1st time All-Star)
7) Rose(Injury moved him down on my list)
8) Irving(Rookie of The Year)
9) Howard(Defensive player of the year...again)
10) Bosh(Yes, he's been ballin this year!)

[Murat]

7) Rose(Injury moved him down on my list)

I don't agree with you...injuries didn't change Derrick if you ask me. He scored 24 against Indiana yesterday.
