Durant, you can plug him in any system and he scores with perfect efficiency.

Re: Thinking Basketball Top 10 players of 2025
LeBron and AD are not top 10 players.
Curry was leading a lottery team for 2 years while healthy until he got Butler and he's the 4th best player in the league?
Their fetish with these players is getting old.

There’s not a world in 2025 where Mobley is better than KD.

Are we taking the RS out and the assumption of having to play roughly 100 games at 34MPG? LeBron, Steph and Jokic are the best 3 players in the league, but Steph and LeBron can't be relied on for full season and PO and and on similar level teams many players outperform them over full season.

AD was best Laker quite easily before the trade, he had his best personal season to date before injury, he can easily be in the top 10. LeBron probably not. Overall, I think the list is valid, KD when healty was still also very good.

Re: Thinking Basketball Top 10 players of 2025
Wemby is 4th at worst. Also Brunson should be a lock and certainly above Curry.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Shai is at 1.
Jokic can try to take it back.

If embiid is healthy he’s in the top 5. Except I don’t think embiid will be every fully healthy again.

I think this board slightly overrates the over 35 stars of the past decade.

It is what it is. I'm not saying he didn't deserve the MVP, just that he's not as impactful as those other guys.

Kareem missed the playoffs while in his prime multiple times.

It’s ok to be wrong. Way too much credit for a Wemby who did nothing last year. And SGA over Luka too.

Re: Thinking Basketball Top 10 players of 2025
Tier 1: Jokic | Giannis
Tier 2: SGA | Luka
*Only reason SGA not tier 1, is both Jokic and Giannis have the ‘carry-franchise-take-over-a-game/series’ gene…so far. SGA has plenty of time to showcase that too.
Tier 3: Wemby | Edwards
*Wemby can jump tiers if he can stay healthy.
Tier 4: Brunson | Mitchell
Tier 5 (the injured Star tier): Hali | Tatum
Tier 6 (the oldie-but-still-goodie): James | Curry | KD | Kawhi | Harden
Tier 2: SGA | Luka
