I would switch Durant and Howard. Other than that I agree. I dont think all the pressure of these 5 combined with be greater than the pressure on Lebron the past few years.

Mine would be:

1. Anthony
2A. Howard
2B. Paul
3. Rose
4. Durant

Rose and Durant are extremely young and have a long career ahead of them. Anthony seems to be a guy who forces coaches out and tells his higherups what to do.

4. Paul
5. Rose

Four of the top five players taken in the 2003 NBA Draft have a ring: LeBron, Darko, Bosh and Wade. The only guy without one...Carmelo

I just feel like no one really gives a shite about Carmelo though.

Anthony, even tho he doesn't deserve one and never will anyway. You can't really put Dwight at the top since he may be changing teams soon.

1. Kevin Durant
2. Melo
3. D-Rose
4. Dwight Howard
5. Mike Brown - not a player but the pressure to win in LA is sick


I would also add

Lebron James - he should have never said that they ate going to win 7.

It was a pep rally and he admitted it was a mistake. People need to get over this.

That may be true but Rose and Durant are on some of the best teams in the NBA. The others aren't. Stars with great talent around them have more pressure to win it all than stars who don't have that help around them.

My list:
1. Durant
2. Rose
3. Howard
4. Lebron
5. Anthony

I put Lebron in on that list because of his famous "not 1, not 2, etc" quote. Plus the Heat have too much talent to only win 1 championship with this lineup.

He might be higher than 5 considering the LA pressure. A couple of those players have no shot at a ring with their current teams.

Paul and Anthony are waaaay above Durant and Rose on this. Durant and Rose are 23, good god. No one even expected them (OKC) to be in the Finals this year.

1. Howard
2. Anthony
3. Paul
4. Rose
5. Durant

Oddly enough, I agree Lebron's pressure has been relieved for a year, but if 3 years pass (making him 30 years old) and hasn't gotten a second, it will get awkward again.
