Kevin Love is a top 5 player in the league

[SHAQisGOAT]

Figuring that now?

[k0kakw0rld]

I don't have in my top 5. But he's still a great player and he has the potential to be a top 5 player this year.

So 26/11/4 is not top 5. All the people in your top 5 have at least an all star playing next to them, some have another superstar, Love had who? And people discredit his accomplishments aka empty stats. Just remember your top 5 player is playing playoffs ball, because of an all star cast. Now put Love in the same situation as Griffin..Oh wait it's happening. B2b 25 pts for KLove sans Bron and Kyrie. Waiters > The entire supporting cast of the wolves. Except maybe Pekovic.

I have Blake at #6

And that would be wrong. Blake is the best player on the Clippers going forward and a top 3 player.

[LoneyROY7]

This. People losing their mind over 2 pre season games.

What's funny is Blake is dominating in the preseason anyway...just dropped 31 in 3 quarters last night.

[Cocaine80s]

And that would be wrong. Blake is the best player on the Clippers going forward and a top 3 player.

You think blake is better than cp3?

[LoneyROY7]

You think blake is better than cp3?

Yep.

My top 5:

LeBron
Durant
Griffin
Westbrook/Paul
Paul/Westbrook

[ralph_i_el]

Un biased opinion: he's top 10. Has to be

My biased UCLA fan opinion: top 5. Probably 3rd. I love that honkey

[La Frescobaldi]

Yep.

My top 5:

LeBron
Durant
Griffin
Westbrook/Paul
Paul/Westbrook

Blake is, no doubt, incredible.
I've had that debate for 3 seasons now, Griffin or Love?

I love how Griffin can ratchet up his game in a flash and he has a mode he gets in, where he totally takes over a game. My problem with BG is he makes the smashing great play but then he goes back to idle. He doesn't stay there and a lot of times he should.

Love is more like a zen quality. Never gets up, never gets down. He's not an emotional player and that makes him kinda standoffish in a way. I think a lot of other players don't get it about that silent intensity - fans definitely don't.

edit ~ when you throw LaMarcus into that mix you have the 3 outstanding "new" guys at the PF (by that I am meaning old guys are Timmy D, KG, Dirk and so forth). The Old Guard at the Four is being replaced, and those are the guys.

After Lebron/Durant/CP3, the next few players are about equal so sure Kevin Love can be top 5 along with Westbrook, Griffin, Curry, Davis, etc

[J Shuttlesworth]

In before the LeBron stans bring in the damage control and try to discredit him.

You realize OP is a bran stan, right?

I'm gonna take BG over KLove as well as CP3, and maybe AD, but Love has a chance to prove himself this year, especially when we see him in the playoffs. He has a chance to prove himself as a top 5 player in the league, but it's still yet to be seen, IMO

1.Lebron/Durant
2.Durant/Lebron
3.Cp3
4.Westbrook
5. Love




shit just got serious folks

nice joke

no.he fail to lead a team to playoffs

[k0kakw0rld]

no.he fail to lead a team to playoffs

Only LeBron could lead that Wolves team to the playoffs in the east or in the west last year. The rest just like Love could bring them in the playoffs only in the east.

[Genaro]

After Lebron and Durant you can throw any combination of Westbrook, CP3, Blake, LMA, Curry, Davis, Carmelo, D12, Harden, Paul George and Love (hope I didn't forget someone) to complete your top 5.
It's just a matter of opinion, those players are in similar levels.

[Magic 32]

Lebron hates playing with top 5 talent.

His body can't handle it.



Hopefully Love can "step back".
