    You obviously don't watch enough basketball. Try catching a Bulls game sometime. Butler does everything, he is like a mini Lebron.

    Forgive me for not knowing nba like I should, but is Davis - Ed Davis? Just can't think of a great player named Davis right now. The other names I recognize.

    I am not a fan of Harden's game either but he has shot more free throws this year than anyone else by a tonne. Mabe he hooks the stripes up with fresh addidas after every game.

    it's funny. I follow the NBA pretty closely and I had to stop and think about who Davis was too.

    anyway, it's Anthony Davis from NO Pelicans... I think he was on cusp of joining Lebron/Durant as clearcut top 3 players but NOP and Davis I think have taken step back and curry has sky-rocketed.

    Cousins is not top 10... and I would put wiggins on HM list... maybe Wall or an Atlanta player.

    also, did people forget Paul or has he deteriorated? sort of same question for Carmelo (more HMention than top 10).

    I like Drummond a lot but maybe not top 10 yet.

    Its a good list. You pretty much got everyone that needs to be on there. Glad to see Leonard and Butler on there, they get overlooked so much. I'd probably add Melo and Wall to your honorable mention list.

    Pretty solid list imo. And you ppl are nuts if you think Durant is better than Westbrook. Catch a thunder game sometime.

    CP3 is still a gun, but not at his best. His disciples (Bledsoe & Collison) are doing great however.

    Melo man appears past his best. Or maybe he's just over shitty no talent Knicks teams...

    Bit young for Wiggins. No doubt he'll be a star, maybe superstar, but kid's only 20.

    Hawks starters are all good but none great.

    Agree on John Wall, he's always so underrated.

    Right now...

    1. Curry
    2. James
    3. George
    4. Leonard

    5-10 I can't really come up with an order. These 4 are the best right now.

    I may be wrong but I can't see any NBA GM taking Westbrook over Durant (assuming both have no injuries problems).....

    Westbrook is awesome but he's common player-type.... Durant should be basically uncoverable (very tall, fast, good shooter).

    Problem with Curry is he doesn't affect the game in many ways besides scoring. Not a 2-way player. Steve Nash had the same problem -people were in awe of him 10 years ago just the same as they are of Curry today.

    I prefer Nash in his prime because he helped his teammates out more. K.Thompson would be doing much better with Nash at the point.

    Put Nash in his prime on that team and take out Curry and the warriors are 14-6.
    Nash doesn't even have a ring curry already does.. So Thompson would much rather curry I'm sure lol.

    Warriors lucked into a ring -mightn't win another. Nash had to deal with that Spurs team pretty much every year.

    I think it was Pat Riley who said recently the Warriors are beginning a dynasty. I'll believe it when I see it.

    Any top 10 that doesn't have Andre Drummond on it is stupid. Guy is a beast. Most dominant player in the paint in the league
