I love dame too, but his #s don’t stack up to harden, nor does his win loss record, nor does his accolades. You are comparing a 6 time first team all nba guy to a 1 timer. Different tier of player.
Are we ranking them based upon their career achievements, or their current standing?

There has never been a season in his career that dame was better. So take your pick

Every GM in the league at this moment would take Lillard over Harden…. Not even close…..

Zero would.

They all saw dame go 1-10 while his team was down 2-1 in the playoffs. They all saw dame go 1-9 in the second half of their series clinching playoff loss to a weakened Denver team. They all saw harden was the best player in the playoffs prior to injury. Find something else to talk about bro hoops ain’t your thing. Maybe go jump in a ice hockey thread or somehting.

Screw you…. It’s a shame you claim to know about the NBA but only look at the paper for stats…..Harden got his wish and got on a dream team but could not stay in shape and ended up injuried….Durant has been much better through the whole playoffs than Harden… they had a better chance beating the Bucks in game 7 had Harden say the bench….

Devin Booker just got his first career triple-double in the NBA and we are wondering out loud if he's suddenly top 10?

He isn't top 25.

Injuries are an excuse, I think I remember someone saying that a while back.

Neither are top 10. Top 20-25 sure. But not top 10.

Is that how we're judging top 10 players? Whoever has the most triple doubles?

ETA: To be clear, I'm not saying that Book is top 10, but I don't think that has anything to do with the number of triple doubles he has.

Booker’s about to be the superstar starting SG of a world championship team since the Suns are the hottest team still remaining, gotta see the forest through the trees, Boom

The Suns are not beating the Clippers. The NBA wants from what’s left the best ratings possible…. That would be Bucks vs. Clippers…..

Depend on how you define his game. Doncic is all about what he can do for a team in every aspect of his game. Triple doubles equal wins. Nothing wrong with defining greatness in diversity of talent.

Who gives a shite if he wins the title (FYI bucks wjll win it) look at the teams they beat. You always got to look at how the title was won. They are not all equal or anything close to it. You don’t get to pound your chest when every team you play is missing their best player.

They’re already leading 1-0 in the series and may lead 2-0 after tonight! What drugs you on, PEEJ? Also ATL’s one of the league’s best stories of the season and a bigger market than Milwaukee, I can def foresee them prevailing over the Bucks the way they’re playing now.

I can’t imagine being this insecure about Booker that you stretch to attempt to undermine him after his team won their last 7 games, defeated the defending world champions and team retaining the current league MVP, and currently lead the Clippers 1-0 in the West Finals (will be 2-0 tonight), you got issues, Boom
