I’m a Lillard fan but with that being said at him being better than Durant.


I’m not. Dame is as clutch as it gets and is the best shooter not named Curry

clutch? he is at times I agree.

I love dame but did you see what he shot in the 2nd half last night in a must win game as his team gave up a 15 pt lead? The selective memory is something I get a kick out of.

I’m not a fan of his team up bullshite, but he is absolutely a top 5 player in the NBA right now.

There’s also the fact that Durant has a better 3 pt % this year and for his career. Dame can hit some deep ones though.

If healthy, you would be a fricking moron to not think he's a top 5 player.

Would be the only 4 firmly above him off the top of my head.

Not sure if serious.

I love all those guys games but KD is better than all of them offensively. He currently has the most un guardable move around. He can shoot a fade away 17 ft shot every possession and there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop him

Durant is closer to being #1 than being outside of the top 5

Durant is on the short list for possible #1 player in the league right now

Top tenish list off the top of my head:

Durant
LeBron
Curry
Kawhi
Luka
Giannis
AD
Kyrie
Harden
Lillard
Embid
Jokic
Butler
Klay?

No order. Curry, AD and Lebron are all right there too.
big no on Harden. He plays zero defense.

Besides Lebron, can throw KD, Embiid, Harden, Jokic, Kawhi, Curry, Luka, and Giannis in a group and come up with any order and it’s fine

Arguably the best offensive player in the league outweighs whatever defensive deficiencies he has to firmly plant him in the top 5 discussion imo. Offense is way more important than defense in this era of NBA basketball anyway.

Fools gold Bubba. That Celtics team was awful on offense outside of Tatum. Losing their 2nd best player Jaylen Brown towards the end of the season made their offense straight trash. Washed Kemba was their 2nd best player lol.

But hey congrats on Jim being elite against a trash team. It's what a good defender should do.
