2012 LeBron was peak LeBron because of his DPOY defense but 2020 LeBron is much more valuable on offense, with his offensive IQ and improved 3PT shooting.

Even with all the problems Kyrie has offcourt, He's still the 2nd best pointguard and one fo the best in the league you can just take a look at his stats. Currently speaking NBA stars (not in this order) are: Lebron, Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Harden, Curry, Giannis and Russell Westbrook, and Kyrie.

+1 Embiid over Lillard honestly tho.

Embiid is overrated but he is playing good this season ( 10 games only tho) finally , but often disappears in playoffs Lillard is better player and Jokic is better than both of them

Yeah i meant currently. Also cant not mention Embiid's injury issues.

2021-01-14 02:53

As great as Lillard is, he's pretty overrated man. Kyrie has always been a better pointguard (so long as he's actually playing the game) and everyone can agree with that. I totally forgot to put Jokic on that list, he's definitely a top 10 player. And westbrook has been playing poor so yeah I'll remove him from the list.

lmao no, the way Dame played last season he's easily a top 10 player

2021-01-15 04:46

"and everyone can agree with that" , if everyone is casuals then yes You putting westbrook on that list seals the deal regarding your knowledge And no Kyrie is not better than Dame , he couldn't carry the celtics , defensive liability , not that efficient ,Dame has better stats etcc But he is still 3rd , it's curry > Lillard > kyrie

Disagree with NBA regular season being just a shooting contest. Half of east europe and probably north europe don't understand the beauty of it because they literally don't watch it (because it starts from 2-5 am). I do frequently, cause I have a job which doesn't require me to be at work at 8 or 9. Also, yes, Lithuania is only good at basketball from all traditional sports. If you take national teams in europe, we would definitely probably be in top5. But right now we have one player to be proud of: D. Sabonis. JV looks like past his peak and is slowly disappearing in fast centers' world while being terribly slow

Lillard definetly has the potential to be a top 10-15 player this year, and jokic is having an mvp season.

2021-01-13 23:36

The top10 players are probably (in no specific order): Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, Luka Doncic, Steph Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and Nikola Jokic Then there are players that are just outside the top 10 like: Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Paul George (even though he choked hard in the playoffs), Jayson Tatum, Russel Westbrook The league has more possessions now because the shot clock now resets to 14 seconds instead of 24 when a team gets fouled or when they rebound their own missed shot. So that results in more scoring. Triple doubles aren't even THAT exceptional nowadays, even though they are still very hard to achieve. And to answer your second question, Curry was injured last season and so he's a still a bit inconsistent, he will return to his normal form eventually.

the way he is playing this season you're probably right, but he will probably regain his old form and be able to drop a 25+ point triple double every night

He is aging bad. Bad touch relies on his atheticism for every single bucket, i dont see him becoming efficient again scoring wise.

2021-01-14 02:57

nice answer brother, ty

2021-01-13 23:51

1. Add Doncic and Giannis there and maybe remove Kyrie if you want to count best of the best. 2. Some players average 35 points with ease. Of course, these stats are the average score their best performances can be double their average. Plus Steph Curry is a 3 pointer beast, he literally doesn't miss. Oh, and Harden got traded to the Nets.

2021-01-13 23:43

check new kids, herro, doncic, jokic, tatum, antetokumpo

2021-01-13 23:45

thank you all for answers, love you guys

2021-01-13 23:52

Jokic (MVP so far this season), Lillard, Tatum, Giannis, Kawhi, Paul George, Doncic and Embiid are all better than Kyrie. Because players get hot and cold, depends on their matchups, how their teammates are playing etc.

lmao nice throw from Jokic and co last night, MVPs dont choke that hard, good player but very inconsistent

2021-01-14 00:03

1 reply

He didn't choke? He played great D, had 7 steals, and had an unlucky night shots wise, a few of those were also unsuccessful tip ins from offensive rebounds so in reality he shot over 55% from the floor. In the 4th when he came in, he got 2 straight buckets backing down Allen but from some fucking reason Denver went away from him and went to PJ FUCKING DOZIER. Also how is Jok inconsistent lol? Definitely one of the most consistent players. Only knack was that he usually sucked at the beginning of every season and was very out of shape which wasnt the case for the first time this season.
