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

As per ISH voting a few days ago, you are the dumbest poster.

Kobe is not even a top 60 players in the NBA when he was the same age as Lebron.

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.

I suppose. To me he's more in line with the guys in the upper 50s/60s

Weird that Curry is ranked 5th. I don't think you can put him behind Embiid on Luka right now.

Agreed. If anything, Steph deserves to be #1. He's the best player in the league and has proven it.

This is a great example of recency bias. Just a year ago Giannis scored 50 in a finals-clenching game, and was a couple votes away from a 3rd MVP this season. If Middleton doesn’t get hurt then we may not even be having this discussion at all.

When considering both ends, he’s the best and most dominant player in the league. No issues with him at #1.

This is a great example of trying to justify a stand no matter the evidence returned. Recency bias? That more properly describes Giannis's argument. Curry has been all-time great for the past 7 years and been to more finals in the past 4 years than anyone else in the conversation.

When considering the whole game, Curry's the best and most dominant player in the league. There is an issue with anyone else being thought of as #1.

indeed. and just a few months before this we last saw a healthy legoat in the playoffs. still easily being the best player in the game and winning fmvp. he also sonned giannia and kawhi b2b that season, btw. also last yr, 30 ppg on record 2pt%. holds opps to lower fg% than supposed all nba defenders on the other end, yet he's 7th or whatever?

Top 5

5: Stephen Curry
4: Joel Embiid
3: Luka Doncic
2: Nikola Jokic
1: Giannis Antetokounmpo

This list is mostly r3tarded, as ESPN usually is, but I think at least they got the top 5 correct. Not in the correct order (I have currdingo above embiid and doncic), but any order you put them in, these are the top 5 players in the league right now tho you could make a case for KD being top 5.

Kobe is not even a top 60 players in the NBA when he was the same age as Lebron.

and yet kobe is ranked above lebron all time.

Top 60 is being way too generous. Kobe at 37 was probably the worst player in the NBA.

Do you actually expect me to take a discussion about Steph with you even remotely seriously?

[1987_Lakers]

I mean, Curry is obviously top 5 at the moment and had a great playoff run, but he did have the better team by a good margin vs every playoff opponent they played.

People have short memories, there was a huge stretch in the regular season last year where Curry was just playing horrific ball, it was actually his worst regular season since the Warriors started to compete for titles.

To me, I would say Giannis is better at the moment.
