      Guys were side tracking here, OP pituitary gland had a flood of endorphins caused by Isaiah Thomas doing something to win him a bet and hence foolishly went and posted the guy as an MVP candidate. Either he's truly stupid or he was overtaken with joy at the time both of which makes him less credible from a basketball standpoint

        B) Attacking Terrence Ross as a "D league level player" doesn't add anything to your Melo argument.

        It just makes you look uneducated in the NBA, which ultimately undermines anything you say about Melo.

        Everybody and their mother knows that T-Ross is a blue chip youngster.
        If Carmelo Anthony isn't a good player, then what is Terrence Ross? An awful player?

          If you guys want to end this debate quickly just watch the next game that the Brooklyn Nets play.. tons of awful players.

            Haha nice debate in here. Let me finish it off.

            IT is a great player. He is probably somewhere between the 10th-20th best player in the NBA.

            Carmelo was good. I actually think Melo was underrated back in his prime because everyone overlooked him because he couldn't win. Not sure Melo has had the right type of team built around him. Right now he is not better than IT. Back in the day he was easily a top 10 player.

            Terrence Ross is who he is, a bench guy.

              Hes carved himself out a little niche and he should be in the NBA for another 8-10 years.

              That sure as hell is not D-League level.

                      Like any list, it is all subjective. I agree with most of your list. I would not say that Draymond, Conley, Gasol, Whiteside and Lowry are better than IT at this point in their careers.

                            Whiteside isn't nearly as good as he's hyped to be. Doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as the guys mentioned in that sentence

                                          That little midget did it again...led his team back from 18 down to win, against a "playoff" team?.?.?

                                          And scored 19 in the 4th.

                                          Kid is on a roll and anyone who thinks he is garbage hasn`t a clue.

                                            Raptors without best player and been struggling.

                                            Boston was favored by 6, of course they should win. Garbage!

                                              He is a monster lately.

                                              Also, just a note about the post above:

                                              Lowry is raptors best player by every metric other than points per game. His net rating is better than derozans. He's like top ten in the league in most advanced performance metrics.

                                                I'm not much of a stats guy Mo. I just go by what I see watching games.

                                                Also, I have not watched a single raptors game this year. So I will definitely take your word for it

                                                  yeah i'd have to go with derozan, he really stepped up since olympics. I thought he was a flopper past few years.

                                                                    this list.. and the last sentence are HILARIOUS.. Kemba, Melo, Dwayne?? Blake Griffin?? dude do you watch the NBA? What IT2 does with the talent around him is pretty amazing. And this is a 5'9" guy that drives it to the hoop constantly, doesnt just sit on the perimeter and shoot 3s.. Im a wizards guy, the fact you say john wall is better shows you have no knowledge. Wall isnt even the best player on his team, so how do you have Wall on this list but not Beal. Id take IT2 over wall on the wizards any day.. Im not saying he should be in the MVP talk, because the MVP in the NBA is a fking joke. But you take the true meaning of a MVP, he is up there. Besides Lebron, Harden, and Westbrook who is more valuable TO THEIR TEAM? Yeah Durant, Clay, Steph are all better but none of them deserve a MVP playing on that team. And anyone playing on a non-playoff or a 7 or 8 seed team deserve it. Someone leading the scoring on a team that could realistically win the east could deserve it though..

                                                                    Like i said though, no point in talking about him getting it though, cause he is not more valuable than a Lebron/Harden/Westbrook.. that list is the worst thing ive ever seen of players better than IT2 though
