blame capitalism. the lakers are by far the most popular team. any idiot that watches one nba game a decade probably roots for the laker show due to pure psychological dissonance. Theres no other bias than that.

The Lakers are the MCDONALDS OF THE NBA.

THOSE ARENT REAL BURGERS.

(ADMITTEDLY I LIKE THE BIG MAC AND CHEESEBURGER THO... DOH!)

Lmao!

You can make a case for Bam at 5 best case 6 worst.

outside of that they tripping.

I'M going to be the dissenting voice here, but bam has been playing pretty passive at times during this season to be considered a top tier player. i'm sorry i just dont see him in that role yet until he proves everyone otherwise in the playoffs

Go out and win.

The ALL NBA thing is fair. It's hard to pick anyone on the team over some of the other guys. No one really had an individually great season. For DPOY its bit harder. The people who deserve it have missed a ton of games i.e. Draymond. Robert Williams, Bam. So I don't know who should get it. But it def shouldn't go to a guard. Marcus Smart is probably the lead candidate at the moment but its obvious with the Robert WIlliams injury who is the most important defensive player for that team. I wouldn't have a problem if Bam didn't win it. But I would def have a problem if Marcus Smart would.
For Coty, Spo should be 3rd.
And the 6man year should be unanimous for Herro. Its not a close award

I think that’s right where he should be until proven otherwise. I mean they have him ahead of guys like Garland who was an all star this year

we are number one and yet are we gonna play toronto or philly in the first round? WTH

2nd round....our first round opponent isn't known yet due to the play in. Winner of Nets/Cavs game tonight gets 7th and plays Boston. Then we wait on the winner of Hawks/Hornets on wednesday to play the loser of the Nets/Cavs game and we get the winner of that as the 8th seed.

Yea anything outside of 5 is a joke to me

I mean call it passive or whatever you want but the dude averages 19 and is the best defender in the world lol. Has to count for something. Zions barely played, cunningham isn’t even the best player in his rookie class (is he even better than Herro? How is he above Anthony Edwards?) and Ball is good but he’s a bad defender and is just putting up numbers on a bad team.

To be fair, ESPN rankings are usually always dog ****.

Looks like that list had Herro at 20

Thank you, Yurt!

If Heat win 2 titles with this squad, suddenly they are known as a superteam w four hall of famers:

Lowry 3x champ
Butler 2x champ
Bam 2x champ
Herro 2x champ

:lol:

4 games out of 82 that he had 30 plus points. that doesnt sound to me like a top 5 scoring player to me

*injuries does matter, with that said.....the sample is too small still
