So you have an issue with one of my 3rd tier guys and that renders the multitude of other names meaningless? Maybe Kerr doesn't belong - I shot that...
Consensus can be a result of group-think, but that's not the only path to consensus. What we consider to be fact today is nothing more than...
Care to slot the missing players into tiers so I can add them to the list?
I forgot to delete them as I was weeding through your list. An honest mistake.
Consensus and group-think are not the same thing. Based on this post of yours you need to take some philosophy and science classes.
Agreed. But I was arguing that the talent level of the NBA, not an individual, doesn't stack up. LBJ, Wade, Kobe (retired) all are 1st tier players,...
Uhhhh...these guys are all retired, genius. Third tier. All on the cusp of retirement, all made their impact for 1st/2nd tier 5+ years ago.
Thanks for being the first to take a stab at listing today's stars! Here's how I'd break them out: LBJ Wade Curry Dirk KD* Westbrook* CP3*...
Totally missed him - I remember his name but don't have a clear memory of him as a player. Would you slot him 2nd or 3rd tier?
I thought a poll question would help, as consensus builds reality. Also, I like organization - better to have it in an appropriately titled thread.
Okay, the GSW has gotten out of control. Let's settle this. Are today's top players as good as the top players of the '80s and 90's? If so, who...
Agreed. Wasting time on the biggest targets isn't a smart move, IMO. Not that I'm high on Howard, but I'm also not that high on Whiteside...and...
With PFs - unless you get an exceptionally rare and gifted one - they should be your 3rd-5th option. So like you, I'm not so much concerned with his...
IMO a bidding war for Love still won't net them a CJ-level player - just more future assets and maybe the difference between an Aminu-level player...
Sure arguing Player A vs Player B is still subjective, but at least it's an argument worth having and consensus leads to what we consider objective...
Totally agree. Love's trade value has now approached "zero". And that, IMO, is the time to trade for someone who use to be considered a good...
And there are a lot of starting scrubs in today's NBA...which kinda flies in the face of the idea that today's lesser players are better than those...
The initial premise is that today's top talent is as good as it was in the 80s/90s. Anything that follows is moot because the initial premise is...
First, there hasn't been any evidence to support the initial premise. Second, even if we're to believe that the lesser role players are better today...
Then name them. You and Nate keep trying to make this argument but have yet to give us any evidence to support your claim. Provide the names of all...
Separate names with a comma.
