re: The Chris Paul veto - think the NBA regrets it now?

I'd hope not, he doesn't belong on the list. He hasn't proven that he can play a full season (or at least miss less than 15 games) and lead a team to the playoffs. If you can't lead your NBA team to the playoffs, you aren't a top 5 player.

Lets not take into account the last 5 games he missed, there was nothing to play for. All of his injuries were random injuries as well. The elbow to his head that made him sit out with concussions, fracturing his left hand on an alley-oop, etc.

I mean lets not take into account you know, its a team game either. Kevin Love is not a top 5 player because he didn't make the playoffs? Stat padding on ppg is one thing, but his overall play is up there compared to your big man who is a top 10 player at the very least.
