2011 CP3 is kinda underrated
-Number 1 in Expected EPM
-Number 1 in LEBRON
-Number 2 in BPM

Would you put 2017 Kawhi over 2017 Curry, 2017 LeBron, and 2017 Westbrook?

Do you mean their career up until that point or just the individual seasons listed?

Over 2017 Westbrook, yes (although not for pure regular season MVP purposes). And I could entertain a hypothetically perfect health version of him against Curry, but as is I think a more conservative assessment is necessary when we only saw half a game of him against the Warriors.

Assuming health since Luka is currently injured:

Kawhi '17
CP3 '11
Luka '25
Giannis '19
KD '13
Curry '14
Jokic '21
Davis '18

Of course, most of these went on to get even better in the following seasons.

Great question OP. I think the results so far point to that being a really tough answer.

Very high level guys.

2021 Jokic
2017 Kawhi
2011 CP3
2019 Giannis
2025 Luka
2014 Curry
2013 KD
2018 AD

2024 Luka would be # 3 behind Kawhi for me.

I’m weighing playoffs pretty heavily.

I think Jokic, CP3 and Kawhi showed monstrous ceilings of play in the playoffs.

Not high on KD in general. OR pre-playmaking AD.

But they definitely belong in a list like this as opposed to one with 2013 Conley and 2015 Blake Griffin if that makes sense.

Curry could be underrated by me a bit. And I could easily be overrating Giannis.
