Behind Lebron James and Kevin Durant?

Yeah hes going off this post season. But has been really good all year long, and the past few seasons as well.

Stats for this season: 23.2ppg, 11.1rebs, shooting 45.8% from the field, with a PER of 21.8.

So is he the 3rd best player in the game? If not, where do you rank him? And who do you have ahead of him?

Some people can't read. Nowhere in this post did I said "yes he's the 3rd best player in the league". LBJ and KD have 1 and 2 locked up. Nobody has the 3spot locked up and it changes from person to person. So who is the 3rd best player then?

No. Him and Lillard are quickly becoming a force in the west though.

Absolutely not. But he is playing better than anyone else right now.

Somewhere between 11-15.

Does this top Ron Mexico calling Rashard Lewis as a top 5 player?

Don't be that guy.

I love Aldridge but give me AD over him. Would also take Steph Curry and CP3 over him too. He's better than Love though.

Awesome, good deal. Can't wait for Sunday.


I will mention that the NBA playoffs is the time of year when fringe top players make the leap - every good player turned into a great player in April/May, at least as far as perception goes.

LMA keeps dropping 35+ a night and dismantling everyone in his way, then you're damn right he'll be a top 5 player.

Nowhere in my post did I say he was. Curious where everyone has him on their list.

And to everyone saying no, who would you have as the 3rd best player? And where do you have Aldridge? The spot for the 3rd best has been up for grabs for a while now. LBJ and KD have 1 and 2 locked up. Nobody has really locked up the #3 spot.

Not sure. He's one of the most underrated players ever though, imo.
