Ridiculous list. After the first three the list goes down hill. How is RJ better than half the small forwards mentioned after him?
Got the first three right, then it just crashed and burned after that. Ron Artest might the right choice at #4...might. However, RJ at #5? I'll take Iggy over him any day of the week, same with Butler and Marion. Speaking of Marion, he most definitely should be top 5. He's an 18/10 guy consistently, also gives you 2bpg and 2spg. Having Maggette, Turk, Artest and Iggy above him is insane. Deng should also probably be ahead of Kirilenko and Miller. Kirilenko hasn't been overly productive for a couple years now and Mike Miller is nothing more than a shooter. Deng plays solid defense, shoots a high percentage and rebounds well for his position. Yea, he should definitely be higher. Overall, CRAP list, end of story really.
LMAO @ RJ being better than Shawn Marion and CMagz. I don't know how a guy who is not an allstar can be above a guy who often is. Also I like how the first thing they list about Iggy is "he just signed a huge contract...." So?! That's not a reason for him to be where he is on the list. Hedo had a good year but I doubt if he'll keep it up.
RJ really does not belong at #5. Quite ridiculous. Caron Butler is much better than him and hes at like 12? WTF
worst article ive ever read. honestly im offended at how fukin shit this bastard is at analyzing basketball. No one in the game is more dynamic than lebron? Nobody is more focused? Nobody is more versatile? Nobody is more athletic? What about Kobe? Garnett? Peirce? CP3? and carmelo over peirce is just plain ignorant, i didnt see melo get very far these past playoffs, did anybody else? NO. Cause he aint good enough to do so!!! fukin load of shit!!!
I'd agree that the article is overall crap, but you're kinda off your rocker here. The only reason Pierce made the Finals is because he was on a team with KG and Ray Allen. If you take either of them off that squad, they don't make the Finals and might miss out on the playoffs. As far as LeBron, the author is right on some things. LeBron is about as versatile as the come in the NBA. For that matter, I don't know if there's another player that can basically play four positions and at the very least, play three of them VERY well. He might very well be the most athletic player in the league too, maybe behind Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala.
When this author woke up and decided he was going to write one of the worst articles I've read this entire offseason.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I'd have him somewhere close to the top 5, definitely ahead of RJ, Maggs and Turk, maybe ahead of Iggy and Artest. At worst, I'd look at him at 7 or 8, he should be higher than 10.
