This really is not a Kobe vs Wade or Kobe vs Harden debate. If I really wanted to be a homer I'd just pick Wade even though he could be lack luster during some stretches. It's all opinions in the end and that's why I asked for others top 5 and not a thread about judge my top 5 and not share your own :lol:

I don't know if Varajo deserves it over Monroe or Pekovic.

I am glad to see Manu and Carter on that list over Joe Johnson who has been over-rated for years.

It is tough to see that Dirk did not make the list and West did even though they have the same stats, but given the games played, I do understand that vote.

PG:
Paul
Parker
Westbrook
Deron
Curry

SG:
Kobe
Harden
Wade
JR Smith
Klay Thompson? maybe

SF:
Lebron
Durant
Melo
George
Iggy

PF:
LMA
ZBO
Dirk
David Lee
Griffin

C:
Gasol
Duncan
Dwight
Lopez
Garnett

I don't know if all my positions are correct.

Don't know how in the world anyone can say Paul George is better than Melo though, Wade being better than kobe this year is a stretch too, IMO.

Bosh and Wade are not the best at their positions.

Honestly that was tough for Varajo over Monroe or Pek (who is great O but his D is suspect) but I felt like had he not had that freak injury he'd be one of the best centers in the league this year. Though I understand the Hippocracy in Dirk and West this creates.

I understand Wade but why Bosh? D is great, O is great considering he is a third option on limited shots. Can shoot inside and has a great jumper. Even can hit 3s. Rebounds well (usually).

Horford anyone?

Melo shouldnt be in the top 5. He isnt a top 20 player either.

Semaj · Post #12 » by **Semaj** » Thu May 16, 2013 9:22 pm

I'd take a bunch of shooting guards over JR Smith at this point. Going clubbing every night & playing awful the next day during critical games is inexcusable & embarrassing. I guess statistically speaking, he was a pretty good player during the regular season though.

Can we just get your list of top 5 in SF and top 20 before you criticize the best scorer in the game?

Sigh, I don't mind when people hate on Melo. He has plenty of faults, everyone has weaknesses, but with statements such as these, reasoning might be better then just getting the board hype and having Knicks fan catch feelings.
