VOTE: Top 5 players in the league right now
I think Giannis is the best player in the league right now, Jokic and Curry for 2 and 3 spots.
And then from 4-7 it's interchangable. With not a huge gap between any of them.
Right now I'd go
#1.) Giannis 96
#2.) Jokic 95
#3.) Curry 95
#4.) Embiid 94
#5.) KD 94
#6.) Luka 94
#7.) Lebron 93

I'm not expecting a cliff yet. I think he was pretty clearly the best 37 year old we've ever seen last year and I think he might be top 5-7 player next year.

No Tatum option is absolutely ridiculous. I get he had a bad finals but he needs to be a candidate when viewing the season in totality.

InB4 lebron goes 2020 mode
In all honesty I don’t think bron the player in 2022 was far worse than bron the player in 2020 (who I would certainly have as the best player), his impact decreased severely but I’m pretty sure we’ll see it rise next year especially if Westbrook is gone

Who didn't vote Jokic? Show yourself!
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

I didn’t vote Jokic
Not because I don’t think he’s top 5, I just have doubts about my ability to understand that you get to pick 5 options and only voted in lebron by accident because I was just gonna do it one by one randomly
I didn’t vote Curry or Giannis either tho so someone tripping

Re: VOTE: Top 5 players in the league right now
Durant not being top 5 is testament to how blind people are by narratives and recency bias.
He's the best player in the league next to Giannis and Curry.
36-19 record with him playing this year. 8-19 without him. Had one bad series in a year where the Nets were doing random things with roster.
Last year could have easily won a championship with either a healthy squad or foot not on the line.
30/7/6 on 63-66% TS. Two way player. One of the most talented players ever in their prime being discounted because of 1 week of play.
Terrible internet takes.

1) Jokic
2) Giannis
3) Luka
4) Curry
5) Embiid or KD
If Kawhi comes back healthy next season, he might have a say about this 5 though.

You'll be back on the KD train within halfway to next season after narratives die down.

Eh, I voted for KD, as I think he's a top 5 player (and by that I mean *the* #5).
He's nothing even close to a two way player.

You're the guy who posted yesterday that Wilt Chamberlain would not get any minutes in today's league, right?
And you're calling out others for recency bias?
The most dominant player in the history of the game along with Shaq.... would not play in today's league.
Great internet takes lol
Messi. Jordan. Ali. Bolt. Senna. Serena. Karelin. Phelps. Rossi. Suleymanoglou. The GOATs.

imagine that guy saying terrible "internet" takes (when he is posting on the internet) because some people think Jokic is better than Durant.

Excited to see how people flip-flop again on LeBron once he has the opportunity to play with even a somewhat competent supporting cast again.
