10 best NBA players in order 2010-2011 season

[doctorfunk]

Duncan's better than Pau no question about it.

Really? Now?

Yes. People who only look at stats think Duncan's declined but that has more to do with the Spurs having 5 players who could go off at any time. There isn't one thing Pau does better in except for maybe shooting.

How about passing and running the break?

Not saying Duncan gone bad but I think Pau caught up with pretty much everyone last 2 seasons,
his game is excellent atm.

10 best hard to say now who will become better or get worse or get injured but including every aspect I guess
- Kobe
- Lebron
- Durant
- Wade
- Paul
- Anthony
- Gasol
- Nowiztki
- Howard
- Williams

Yao would be on my list but there's a big chance he won't be 100%

[Billy Burnie]

1. Wade, Kobe, James
4. Howard
5. Nowitzki
6. Paul
7. Nash
8. Durant
9. Williams
10.Gasol

How can dwight howard be so high? He cant shoot at all... cant make free throws..

[Billy Burnie]

In the last 2 years the Magic have made it to the Finals and ECF, that's how. That's a lot more than a first round exit in my book.

[Wavy Q]

It's a bit ridiculous that people act like there's a million things other stars are doing Durant isn't

The only thing he's not comparable in to other greats is passing ability, it's important but it's one thing

Don't pretend like Durant is Jamal Crawford

i think its that most people are looking for consistency, they want to see him do it again before they place him amongst the top 5.

[cool007]

My List:

1 - Kobe
2 - LeBron
3 - Dwight
4 - D-Wade
5 - Durant (moving up as I write)
6 - CP3
7 - Melo
8 - Dirk
9 - Roy
10 - D-Williams

There's A LOT more to the game of basketball than just shooting. Plus, he actually can shoot okay and is improving, he just doesn't make many attempts in the game other than FT. Can't wait to see what post moves he'll be bringing into the season after working w/ "The Dream". He's poised to explode in the next 1-3 years.

I see what you're saying, but if that's the case, then no one would ever be able to accurately predict the top players, eventually the top has to change.

[AWalkerREMIX]

Where does it say anything about predictions? In any case, if these really are predictions, you're the Miss Cleo of RealGM.

At the top, unless the 2010-2011 season already happened...

Yeah, I hate it when people come into threads and tell the OP what the thread is about. Anyways, overall I can not find fault with your rankings, and agree with most of them.

When did I tell him what the thread was about? Clearly this can be interpreted in the way that I did - top 10 players going into the 2010-2011 season. How the hell should I know that we were talking about the completion of the season. Oh, and I still think that anyone that thinks Tyreke Evans will be a top 14 player at the end of the season is smoking something harsh.

I don't doubt that there are some people who actually have concerns about Durant not being able to repeat his performance/improve in the playoffs, but I think a larger part of it is media backlash.

People don't like agreeing with the media unless it's their player. OKC/Durant fans love that he's the media's new darling, but any other Top-10 player's fan probably isn't too thrilled. Whoever the media likes, a lot of people are going to dislike, simply because it's not their player.

Obviously anyone putting Durant in the Top 3 is overrating him, but people putting him in the 8-10 range aren't doing him justice either.

No one is. Thats why he's being ranked in the top 5-10 of all NBA players by most people, and not the top 40.

With how close most of these guys are, there is not a lot of room for error when stacking up against other amazingly talented players. Lackluster playmaking ability doesn't hurt him in a discussion with Rajon Rondo or Chris Bosh, but you get into more multi-dimensional stars who are great at pretty much everything, and it starts to become more damaging.

At least imo.

He's been advancing each year so far though. He could very well raise his game to the next level by the end of this upcoming season and remove all doubt about his game.
