Top 10 Players In the NBA Right Now

[rise]

http://www.sportshaze.com/2010-nba-preview-who-are-the-leagues-top-10-players/
So I've read a bunch of articles about the top 10 players in the NBA right now. Most of them have the same 3 as the top 3 players (guess who?) and Kevin Durant at either 4 or 5. Google top nba players and you'll find a ton of different lists. I want to know who you think is the top 10 players in the NBA now or at some point in the upcoming season.

1. LeBron James (he's number one. Face it.)
2. Kobe Bryant (he isn't better than LeBron anymore.)
3. Dwayne Wade
4. Kevin Durant (will probably overtake D-Wade and maybe Kobe by the end of the season)
5. Steve Nash (does this guy ever get old?)
6. Dirk Nowitzki
7. Deron Williams
8. Chris Paul
9. Rajon Rondo (will be here by the end of the season)
10. Dwight Howard

[NovU]

1. Lebron - No doubt
2. Kobe - Damn rings
3. Dwight
4. Durant
5. Wade

Just my opinion...

[dare]

10. Dirk Nowizki
9. Steve Nash
8. Dwight Howard
7. Chris Paul
6. Deron Williams
5. Brandon Roy
4. Dwayne Wade
3. Kevin Durant - (next big thing, hope he won't get injured)
2. Kobe Bryant - (2 although he can beat Lebron 1 on 1 )
1. Lebron James - (as much I hate it)

[Lamrock]

My arbitrary rankings:

1. LeBron (ugh)
2. Wade (ugghhh)
3. Dwight
4. CP3
5. Rondo
6. Gasol
7. Bosh
8. Deron
9. Roy
10. Dirk (barely over Duncan)

[benji]

1. Austin Daye
2. Amir Johnson
3. DeJuan Blair
4. Tim Duncan
5. Marcin Gortat
6. Jared Dudley
7. Marc Gasol
8. Kevin Love
9. Ty Lawson
10 inches. Greg Oden

[Rip32]

I can never tell if you like Daye or just like to make fun of him?

Taking talent, intangibles, and success into play:
1 LeBron James
2 Kobe Bryant
3 Dwyane Wade
4 Kevin Durant
5 Deron Williams
6 Chris Paul
7 Pau Gasol
8 Dwight Howard
9 Dirk Nowitzki
10 Steve Nash

[Spotlight]

1. Kobe
2. Bron
3. Wade
4. Durant
5. Dwight
6. CP3
7. Melo man
8. Gasol
9. Bosh
10. Deron

[Alpha_]

1. LeBron James (no doubt!! he's only 25.. more MVP awards in the future?)
2. Kobe Bryant (he's a clutch!!! and he isn't better than LeBron)
3. Dwayne Wade
4. Kevin Durant (a brighter future for this young player. after 2-3 years he's going to be at the top 2 NBA players)
5. Carmelo Anthony
6. Dwight Howard
7. Chris Paul
8. Deron Williams
9. Brandon Roy
10. Dirk Nowitzki

11. Steve Nash

My arbitrary rankings:

1. LeBron (ugh)
2. Wade (ugghhh)
3. Dwight
4. CP3
5. Rondo
6. Gasol
7. Bosh
8. Deron
9. Roy
10. Dirk (barely over Duncan)

Where's Melo? :p

Anyway:

1. LeBron (I refuse to say anything more about him.)
2. Kevin Durant (i think kevin durant is a pretty cool guy. eh scores 30 and doesn't afraid of anything)
3. Wheelcha-I mean, Wade (Right now, I am dying a little inside.)
4. Kobe Bryant (Meh.)
5. Chris Paul (I really wanted to make that racist 'stealing' joke, but all I will say is that he was probably a top 3 player last season, and he could end up in there by the end of the season. Though I wish he was open to a trade.)
6. Deron Williams (i think der-yeah, I'm out of witty material. He seems like a pretty cool guy though. I'm serious.)
7. Dwight Howard (Go Rangers!)
8. the Dirkatron (Actually, the above statement is slightly more relevant here. Plus Dirk clearly doesn't deserve anything higher judged by his abominable playoff performances.)
9. Brandon Roy (Roy is so yawnstipating. He does everything well, but there's nothing particularly awesome about him. Plus I resent him for being the poster-boy of my efficient yet deadly mediocre FBB teams last season. Still, I love watching playmaking wings.)
10. Pau Gasol (Pau Gasol is an inspiration to all the Joe Johnsons, Chris Boshes and other miscast #1s in the world that one day, they can overcome their multiple playoff wipeouts and become ultimate wingmen. So yeah, you can include Dirk in there too.)

Honorable mention: Brett Favre's penis. I'm also ambivalent about excluding Rondo and Duncan, among others. But fuck you Deadspin. Way to shit on the slight pool of credibility still remaining from the Leitch days.

[Murat]

1. Kobe Bryant (i don't need to talk)
2. Dwyane Wade (hope he owns lequeer)
3. Kevin Durant (the next mvp)
4. Paul Pierce (his leadership...)
5. Dirk Nowitzki (if you noticed, he is the only european MVP)
6. Dwight Howard (he is symphatic. the best c at nba)
7. Brandon Jennings (i hope he gets a ring and becames the best point guard of future)
8. Yao Ming (the mostly unlucky superstar)
9. Gilbert Arenas (his success is ruined i think)
10. Jamal Crawford (underrated)



there is no lequeer jamies. you know how i hate the "self-titled king".

great lists...i totally agre... LBJ

[Alpha_]

lol at LBJ haters..

[Axel The Great]

lol @ 10 inches, and Austin Daye.

1. Kevin Martin
2. Aaron Brooks
3. Yao Ming
4. Luis Scola
5. Shane Battier
6. Courtney Lee
7. Chase Budinger
8. Kyle Lowry
9. Chuck Hayes
10. Brad Miller


In all seriousness though:
1. LeBron James (No question)
2. Kobe Bryant (Even if he's on the Lakers, there's no question either)
3. Kevin Durant (I'd put him above D-Wade, that much talent at his age is just incredible)
4. Dwyane Wade
5. Dwight Howard (Despite me being a Rockets fan, I've taken a liking towards Howard. With Olajuwon training him on his post game, he ought to be in the Top 5 by the end of the season.)
6. Steve Nash
7. Chris Paul
8. Pau Gasol (hate to admit it)
9. Dirk Nowitzki
10. Deron Williams
---------------------------------
11. Joel Anthony
