ESPN NBA Player Rankings

[mav1234]

Figured I'd post this, see what people thought:

10: Griffin

9: Deron Williams

8: Rose

7: Bryant

6: Durant

5: Dirk

4: Paul

3: Wade

2: Howard

1: James

Thoughts?

I guess maybe it's just me but I feel like Dirk deserves a raise in ranking after last year, and I'm not sure how Kobe is 7.

idk how they figure to put wade and paul above bryant..even dirk.

AT LEAST bryant, imo, should be in top three.

Griffin shouldn't even be on the list.

This list is a joke! Howard, Rose, Dirk, Bryant and James should be the top five. The order isn't as important because they're so close.....

Paul might be the most overrated player of this generation of players.

:lol:

[Chaos]

Why would anyone make a list like this?

[mav1234]

i dunno talk to ESPN they actually ranked like nearly every NBA player that played the game last year.

Paul might be the most overrated player of this generation of players.

Y?

Y?

Paul can take over a game and change it. The knock on him is he's always, always hurt. That's why I wouldn't have him that high. Maybe they took injuries out of the equation though. Griffin to be that high so fast is kind of not fair. I would expect to see Kevin Love up there, but nope.

I don't see how Paul is overrated. I personally think he is the most well rounded PG in the league. He can score if needed, dish the rock, and play D. It's tough to put him ahead of Dirk though.

As far as the list goes, why is Blake Griffin #10? I don't get it. He has a lot to work on as far as his offensive game goes. He's exciting to watch but not the 10th best player.

I just think Kobe is aging and that is why he is so low.

paul is not overrated. when healthy he is the best pg in the league by far (this coming from a big d. will fan). Kobe should be higher and lebron is the best player as far as skill set/physical ability go but he lacks the leadership and heart to really make him #1.

Supposedly this list wasn't going to factor in potential and was suppose to be strictly as of the present time. If that's the truth, then how in the world is Blake in the top 10? Don't get me wrong, dude is a beast and will be for a long time, but as of right NOW, he doesn't deserve that #10 spot. Not to mention Dirk outplayed 2 of the 4 guys ranked above him in the finals.. :hand:

I'm not sure that he's the 4th best player in the entire league either, but to call him the most overrated player of this generation seems ridiculous given that Vince Carter is an 8-time all star. Paul's durability isn't THAT bad, he's averaged 70 games a season.

To stay on topic, I would put both Carmelo and Amare above Griffin.

Yeah there's a handful of players that you'd put above BG.
