He is an elite scoring guard/forward that can defend at a very high level. This is all right now. This is not what I think he will or could be. This is all right now.
    Name an elite scoring SG besides Kobe that ever shot 3-19 in a game.

    Nice. :thumbup:
  • Pick6
    OJ Mayo is a top 25 player guys

    James Harden is one of the 25 best basketball players in the league, stats are unnecessary to validate that, and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't understand how the game is played. That simple.

    Sleeper, I wholeheartedly disagree with you requiring a full seasons worth of stats to validate his skill. If the skills there, the skills there, and it is with Harden.

    That's the last thing I say about Harden, on this thread or any other.

    I personally feel that if you don't think he's a top 25 player you're ignorant to the game of basketball. This statement mainly refers to HB who thinks JH is nowhere close.

    Lol? Were you kidding or what? You don't have Mayo either. Mayo is very near my list.....he continues a little longer and he'll be on mine somewhere.

    I'm in the boat with pick6. After about 15 players it becomes too hard to differentiate between players.

    1. Lebron
    2. Durant
    3. Love
    4. CP3
    5. Kobe

    That's the indisputable list.

    I had to debate things after the top 2.....I went back and forth with #3-#5 and then every few spots. Where to put the oldies but great, the injured, the young. For me everything outside the top 2 is debatable. Maybe I'm giving Kobe too much credit too far back....but I still see him getting it done pretty well.

    Yeah Kobe is still playing at a high level but he isn't a better player right now than the top 4.

    and what is my logic?
  • gport_tennis
    Melo at #7? I am really impressed with how well he is playing this year. he has been a top 15-20 overall player for a long time but his defense seems to have been improved and much more efficient offensively.

    btw for the official list I am not putting injured players. so no rose or dirk.

    Howard isn't a top 10 player. Overrated.

    FYI....A cross country coach had spoken already.

    that's debatable. but I would rather your opinion on who is the top 25 players today. agree with the top 10?
