    He really should have titled it "who I think has the best shot of winning the MVP in three years".

    I don't care how young and how cheap Kosta Koufas and Iman Shumpert are, they are still Kosta Koufas and Iman Shumpert.

    Rather than take pot shots from your pedestal, why not respond to the article? Do you feel it's an accurate and reasonable ranking of Lillard and Aldridge? Do you find Jimmy Butler to be a top 20 player in the league, and Aldridge not a top 50 player?

    Depends on the metric. The article does not claim these are one season type player rankings.

    If the metric were $/minute, those rankings would be expected.

    You just haven't experienced a true blow job until a 90 year old, toothless grandma works on your rod! They are patient, experienced and always swallows!

    He listed out his criteria, kind of an overarching ranking based on overall talent, age, contract, position, and injury. So I can see giving some younger guys a boost, over more proven players. He doesn't say how he weighted all of those, however. So comparing, say, Noel versus LMA. Noel obviously has him in age and contract. Aldridge has him in proven ability and injury. Each of them having a 2 category advantage, I can see giving a younger player the more favorable ranking. I don't see how, when he's out for the season, and who knows how he recovers, that that's a 25 spot boost, though.

    With their pathetic social security checks, I'm sure they appreciate the free protein.

    Oladipo got a very favorable rating, too.

    Few guys 28 years old scored well. And he had Durant over LeBron, too. Durant at 25 vs. LeBron at 28. 3 more years of Durant he figures.

    Most egregious rankings are Melo and LA.

    Would much rather have Lillard than Noel.

    I just really don't take any kind of rankings seriously. None of it matters, in my opinion. The ESPN rankings are nice, but when one bozo makes a list of "who is best," I just really don't even care. All that matters is who produces on the floor every night. The only numbers that matter are wins and losses.

    Based on the criteria that I quoted from the article? I think it's a fair assessment, even if I don't agree with all of the conclusions.
