James Harden is overrated wtf

[bison]

James Harden is overrated wtf

Yeah there are like 15 players from #30-11 that I would take over Harden at this point. But he looks trim this summer and might surprise us.

[Kblaze8855]

I was Reading over that earlier considering making a topic about Anthony Davis. They’re clearly not doing a “If healthy” thing but then Leonard is up there and he misses more time than anyone so who knows.

[RRR3]

Horrendous list as usual.

[RRR3]

Horrendous list as usual.

To be fair Davis has declined since 2020. I can’t imagine anyone actually taking Beal over him when he’s healthy though.

[Im so nba'd out]

Horrendous list as usual.

this...

LeBron at 7.....
Wiggins considered a top 32 player ......bch where???????????
Anthony Edwards better than jrue holiday hahahahahahaa
Dejounte Murray 42 after last year and Zion @ 40 with all these ppl infront of them (scottie barnes, klay Thompson, smart,wiggins,cade, ect)
Lamelo outside of the top 40
Garland at 46
Deaaron fox being 54 when hes never justified that in the NBA
Jalen Green above brunson and Horford...yeah fking right
Ben Simmons @ 76.....im guessing this was troll? 76...... hes not that bad like be forreal espn

[bison]

ESPN is probably run by diversity hires now...this list was made by women and transexuals!!!!! in other words LeGBT bronies who know nothing about basketball. (u can tell list was made by bronies by how low they ranked AD, westbrook and kyrie)

[kumquat]

Love the Ben Simmons dig....ranked 76

[ShawkFactory]

Butler at 17 is way too low. He's better than everyone outside of the top 10 ranked ahead of him except Kawhi if his play is similar to pre-injury levels. I'd also take him over Booker and Ja right now too.

Smart at 34 is waaaaayy too high.

Smart at 34 is waaaaayy too high.

I was going to say just this. Butler should have a spot in the top ten. I don't know why he continuously gets underrated.

Agreed.

Saying 34 is high for Smart is fair, altho I personally wouldnt go as far as waaaaay too high. Theres a lot of guys whose raw volume stats Id value less than Smart’s intangibles.

Why do people care so much about the opinions of ESPN? It's always baffled me.

I don't care. Just wanted to make a thread that wasn't about MJ/lebron for once

[Spurs m8]

As per MVP voting last year, LeBarry is not top 10
