Diamond Stone, Mike Muscala and Pablo Prigioni

Err, I mean Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Kevin Durant. Kinda hard to argue those three not being next

I agree. Can't argue anything but the order for these 5.

And I love Curry, he's was MVP last year regardless of the playoffs. And respect the hell out of Lebron's game, he is still the most dominant when he chooses to be. But Curry is only the best shooter, Lebron can't be Lebron for anything close to 82 games anymore(and he doesn't have to be)...I think Russ is our new #1. ...And The Greek Freak is officially safely in the top 10.

Still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on Russ for MVP at 22-1 or whatever it exactly was preseason.

I have to disagree with that. No problem with those choices but I could make arguments for a handful of other guys. Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Giannis, CP3. Quite a few elite guys right now.

I would definitely have Westbrook and Kawhi in there, 5th spot is tough for me.

 

[Greenbacks]

Curry is not in my top 5

1-James
2-Westbrook
3-Durant
4-Harden
5-Davis

Greek Freak is working his way up

I do agree with Kawhi as 6 at the lowest. Davis' recurring health issues just keep him out of the top 5 for me currently.

For sure, he is something special for sure

I love Curry, but he's dropped out of my top 5 as well...

VERY over rated

VERY over rated

Not really. He absolutely shattered the all-time 3 pt records.

The kid *averaged* 5 3 pointers per game, that is unheard of.

He almost doubled Reggie Miller's best season ever.

You could've got him at +120 only about a month or so ago, then it was -120 shortly after that for a couple weeks. Unfortunately, now it's at -200.

I thought the lines makers were being incredibly, incredibly stupid with this. They had Westbrook at +120 and Harden at +400, so I feasted on both. Vegas can be pretty dumb sometimes

That's your response? ROFL.

 

[KingEleven]

That's your response? ROFL.

not sure what you want me to say...you say Curry is the best or top 2 because he shoots 3's better than Reggie Miller...that's silly

Um, I didn't say that at all.

You said he was "VERY over rated." I disagree, and I showed why.

 

[Greenbacks]

As of right now Zaza Pachulia is a starting forward on the west NBA All-Star team. @)

 

[HacheMan]

It is slim pickins these days.

Since the 80-90's the presence of Superstars in the NBA has dwindled through the years...
