Kobe should never be behind Dwight unless Kobe is teaching him another lesson.

Wait, so JJ Redick is better than MCW, GA, E. Gordon, J. Green, Waiters...just to name a few. The hell is that about?

Great stats on bad teams.
He has good post moves.
But he's a black hole on offense.
He can't pass. His defense is suspect. And he lacks foot speed.
I just cant imagine a team having Al as the best player going deep in the playoffs. |

Agree..... Wade is not close to the player he once was, I'm sure that is one reason for James leaving.

The ranking seems fair at the moment. I just hope Kobe returns and proves all the doubters wrong.
So which teams had more than 1 top 20 player (according to this list) and did well/badly/as expected in the playoffs? |

Not really accurate to say the least. Kobe hasn't really played but just a handful of games which were hardly a judge.

He shouldn't be in the list of 100 to begin with.

Damn finals MVP is #28. The guy who decimated lebron....and Miami is #28. And why would Duncan be ahead of Kawhi....I guess no one watched the finals sigh. Kawhi>Duncan. Its a fact.
Even spurs fans agreed.
Crazy. |
