    Default Current top 5 NBA players as of 5-24-19

    This list takes into account regular season AND playoffs. Not JUST regular season. Not JUST a playoff series or game. Not JUST the playoffs. Everything.

    1) Stephen Curry (in hindsight, given the aforementioned criteria, he's been it since the 2016 season)
    2) Kawhi Leonard (best two way player in the world)
    3) LeBron James (yes, I realize the Lakers didn't make the playoffs, trolls)
    4) Giannis Antetokounmpo (could easily jump to #1 if he had a jumper)
    5) Kevin Durant (best ISO scorer in the world)

    4 and 5 are interchangeable... Giannis is going to win MVP.

    Book it. Lock it down. Facts.

    Even if the Bucks or Raptors go on to win it all this year, my list isn't going to change again until the 2020 season.

    1. KD
    2. Lebron
    3. Curry
    4. Kawhi
    5. Harden

    Most underrated player is easily Anthony Davis. Most overrated is Giannis (probably 6th or 7th best player)

    By the way... I probably should have included James Harden, but this guy just disappears so incredibly hard in the postseason that I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

    Between that and his utter cheating on almost every play, I just can't do it.

    He's just embarrassing.

    Yeah, have to keep him off for that.

    BUT, if Giannis chokes this 2-0 lead by losing 4 straight then...

    Dude, I completely agree with Harden being a fuking embarrassment to the game...but he actually had a good playoff run this year and his regular was too crazy to not have him top 5.

    But yeah I hate Harden more than any player in the league and is hardest for me to rank...cause he has skills...he's just a disgrace.

    Swap Giannis and Harden if Giannis doesn't make the Finals?

    By the way, and this should go without saying, this list is assuming Curry finally wins his 1st FMVP while putting up good numbers in the finals. That may be assuming too much but I have faith in him this year since a certain someone isn't in the finals to challenge him.

    I agree. I'll be willing to give Harden the nod at 5 if Giannis gets backdoor swept. Giannis can jump to 1 if he gets a jumper, but damn, will he ever get consistent at it now? I hope so, but the Raptors have just clamped him as of game 3 from defensive adjustments that they are only able to make because he can't shoot.

    Harden is the hardest for me to rank. I will never be able to talk about him objectively until he stops playing like a gigantic tw[COLOR="Black"]a[/COLOR]t. Anyone that roots for him that isn't a Rockets fan... I don't know, man. I don't even know.
