Bleacherreport: Top 20 Players for the 2014-15 NBA Season

[JT123]

So no one thinks Bosh and/or Wade=top 20?

How could they not be? Just 2 months ago the Heat were the most stacked team of all time. If no one is claiming Bosh and Wade as top 20 that means Lebron alone makes any team all time stacked!

5 bucks saying JT123 is playing with himself to this link while screaming "yes lebron, yesssss"

That is what his detractors amusingly are inadvertently implying.

Bosh could have an argument, I could see him going back to 22 and 9, but Wade? No. You must play at least this many games to qualify.

[SHABBA]

Westbrook should be 5 at worst.

[pastis]

James Harden at 19. Perfect spot for that clown.

haren 19 but no Dirk or Duncan

[disel]

They clearly said that Rose & Kobe could go either way & that it was just a guess.

Paul at 3??

Kobe looked like crap after returning and shut it down. that has been has no business.

[GODbe]

Horrible list. Kobe at #9 , LeBald #1 ? Also, where the hell is Kawhi? The player that just recently manhandled/thoroughly shat on the #1 guy on that list in the nba finals

[Young X]

Why is Melo 6th but Dirk isn't even on the list? Why is he higher than Love who's younger and had a better season in every aspect last season?

[kennethgriffin]

stupid ranking.. this list is obviously assuming rose and kobe are fully healthy.. and if that were the case kobe would be top 5 and rose would be top 10

[Graviton]

Melo and Curry above Westbrook.

I know! They don't even realize that they give Lebron more praise than his stans do!

Exactly. With LeBron: Wade and Bosh are superstars on the most stacked team of all-time; without LeBron: Wade and Bosh are not even top 20 players and they will be lucky to win 45 games next year. LeBron not only elevates an average team to an all-time stacked level--look at how a 33 win team is now stacked too by adding him and a 19 year old--but he turns good players into superstars. They basically are implying he is the GOAT. Again, this is what his detractors are essentially saying.

You are right. They are so consumed by a combination of hatred but also secret admiration for LeBron's ability that they twist themselves into a pretzel and fail to realize what is implicit in their arguments. 2/5 is another example. LeBron is expected to win the championship every year. When his team loses, it is his fault, not his team's (with some legends it is they win, the team loses) even though Wade and Bosh both played worse than the #4 options on many championship teams. No other player is held to this standard.

Steph at 5? Come on now...

[Yankstar]

Derrick rose is #15 after not playing for 2 years?

He is done, I'm calling it
