    Hey that's a 28 average!

    Together Roy and LMA = Jason Kidd!


    On the other hand Durant is 4 and Westbrook is 30 which is a 17 average.

    That means Durant and Westbrook = Roy!

    I will give you a hint here. Where do you think our bench players rank in league rankings? After all, a unit with Patty Mills/Armon Johnson, Rudy, Dante, Batum, and Marks is really one to write home about.

    CP3 and Nash should swap spots IMO.

    I wouldn't. Since Durant is an NBA darling he will get like 5 million more foul calls over his career, and one every time his team needs one for sure.

    Plumating.

    Plumate is defined as resembling a feather. So are you sure you weren't referring to Aldridge?

    Hedo Turkoglu over Blake Griffin? Sporting News has lost all credibility. Blake Griffin should be Top 10.

    Sporting News didn't rank them, only compiled the opinions of others rankings.

    "SN asked 76 NBA types, including Elgin Baylor, Bob Cousy, Mike D’Antoni, Mike Fratello, Daryl Morey, Lenny Wilkens, Doc Rivers and Stan Van Gundy, to list the top 50 players in the league. Bryant received 49 of their first-place votes to maintain his spot atop the list, while James had 22 first-place votes and Magic center Dwight Howard received one."

    Amazing. They must've been asked before the season started
