skip is retarded. look at wade's season right now. look at carmelo. look at kobe ball hogging and missing more shots than the lakers big shots combined.
Best team: PG: Chris Paul (amazing passer/clutch shooter) SG: Kobe Bryant (best player ever) PF: Pau Gasol (good passer/shooter/rebounder/freethrow shooter) SF: Kevin Durant (amazing shooter/rebounder/defender/clutch) C: Dwight Howard (CP3 lob+DW12= amazing/defender/rebounder)
@MrXosyaraiha32 Did u say Rondo took Boston celtics to a championship?... the guy was a rookie pg that shot under 50 % from the free throw line on a team with Allen, KG, Pierce, and RONDO led then to a ring? and he STILL cant hit a jumpshot...NEXT!!
these dudes are just ridiculous....lebron not in top 5 when wade is 1? lebron is clearly the bet player in miamii. i can understand people putting kobe ahead of lebron for his killer instinct and rings, but all other players in the league right now absolutely have nothing on lebron. i just cant take the bias of espn, everything is 100 times exagerated....everything is basedd on extreme opnions...they are just so full of shit. tnt is 10 times more classy
I really don't like Lebron, but not having him in the top 5 is ridiculous. obviously dirk is a great player but I don't think he's top 5 ... I'll go with Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Durant and Derrick Rose
u guys are dum dwayne wade is not at the level like kobe is , likes lets compare kb: 5 rings dw:1 ring kb:mvp dw: none likes that all i have to compared 6JB12 is right why do guts hate on lebron like c'mon now just because he's not clutch in the 4th doesn't mean he sucks.And by the way why the hell is he not in the top 5 like legit u guys are dum
Why do these guys hate Lebron so much? I think people are really starting to get sick of all the hate he gets. Why would you have hate for a guy that gives his all for his team mates and plays at a top 5 level. These guys really need to shut the fuck up and if you don't think Lebron is a top 5 player you have no fucking clue about basketball.
Skip shut the fuck up you old man you wil not acheive anything close to lebron in your pathetic life you piece of shit stop hating on the man.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. How in the fuck is KOBE FUCKING BRYANT not #1 on BOTH lists? I'm not even a Lakers fan, I'm not biased, or any of that crap. Kobe is THE best player in the NBA right now.
Reason for no wade or rose....to small to get a quality shot over bigger defenders especially catch and shoot with 2 or less seconds.... But anyone of these players can take the right team DEEP in the playoffs therefore all 8 players can be the best player in the league for a short period....
@evergreen5454 Melo. Really? You prefer melo over wade or rose? Sir, you need to look at the Melo effect happening between the Nuggets and Knicks. Wade or Rose not trusted to make last second shots? Are you kidding me? Rose made some bullshit jumper over my warriors early in the season with 1.4 seconds. Wade kept carrying the Heats prior big three. Just go back to sucking the lakers.
@Chub2296 D-wades either and i think that there is only one layer in nba history that could hit the buzzer beater that kobe hit against miami if u didnt see it go check it out
rose had been injured this whole time y'all haven't even seen the work he put in this summer wait another two weeks ill agree rose should be number 2 and yes when it comes to talent it should be lebron first but bitch chokes too easily
So wait... Kevin Durant is 2nd purely because of his talent and he has no rings yet LeBron has no rings but both Stephen A Lawrence and Skip agreed he's the best talent in the world? My Top 5 -
This list should be renamed ''Top 5 clutch players'' not 'best NBA players'. How you can have Carmelo (out of the 1st round of play off's once in his career') Anthony over Lebron James, that's just insane.
If he is talking about whose more clutch, than yeah Melo over Lebron
Skip is my MAN.....he said whole truth about westbrick(he is god player,but he takes to many shots,HE IS THE BRICK IN THE HEAD,bad team iq,not a point guard).
I can't believe how many people commenting on this video are actually making cases that Lebron belongs in the top 5, let alone number one?! Are you serious? 9 years in the league and nothing to show for it. More occasions in big moments where he just looks like a lost child in a mall looking for his mom than any Superstar I can think of. You can't convince me a player like that deserves to be ahead of Kobe, Wade, Dirk, Durant, and Rose. None of those guys give up and let their teams fail.
@agyeiboateng I didn't say Melo belongs in the top 5 either. And I am not going by rings. In 9 years Lebron has done nothing but fail by superstar standards. Nobody can disagree with that. 2 finals appearances and one was a sweep. By average standards, he's incredible and nobody comes close to him but the top 5 is for the best of the best and that is something he is not. You can't just have a bunch of flashy plays and 2 regular seasons MVP's to be consider the best in the league.
How is wade one?? I hate lebron but I think I would take lebron over wade anyday the only problem is on lebron is he doesnt have the heart Kobe n mj have or clutch..
@stephenjacksondag using that logic what are Carmelo and Durant doing on the list...Melo has only been out of the first round once in his career, and Durant hasn't been to the finals either
did skip just say kobe cant dunk?! get these stupid fucks off the air. look at it this way, at this very second in time if father time stops kobe at 33 dwayne at 30 and they stay that age forever. if both are healthy (kobe is not healthy finger,knee, wrist etc.) and lakers propose a trade wade for bryant heat would take that in an instant. nuff said.
okay so im not surprised that skip didn't pick Lebron; he's soo dilusional. But STEPHEN A.?? are you kidding me? he's just become so much less credible to me. this is the true list ryte now:
@usmanioa See, I kind of have to say that Durant be one and LeBron be two. Why? Because LeBron is in his prime currently, however Durant isn't. LeBron lacks certain aspects that make him better than Kevin Durant. LeBron would never be trusted to shoot and make a buzzer-beater to win the game, ever. While Kevin Durant, does not care about pressure and can sometimes be trusted to shoot a buzzer-beater every now and then. Kevin Durant is almost the same level as Lebron, but hes in prime.
@Rorschach1030 U made a good argument but there are some things u forgot to consider. defensively, durant is good, but nowhere close to lebron's defensive dominance; no one (except maybe wade) applies their IQ and quickness to dominate defensively like King James. Also, lebron elevates the games of his teammates ; he is always willing to distribute and make others look good. i agree that durant could be better than lebron, but I cannot say that today. maybe 2-3 years from now,
@Brad1112223 Haha, i know! Of course. I was just kidding, Trying to make a point Kobe DOENST belong @ #7. D-Rose is definitely in the Top 5, or maybe 3!
@northvalleynews Dude, we're talking about the top player AT THIS MOMENT. Why on earth do you bring up MJ in this discussion. I never said KB was better than MJ.
Skip, your forgetting something, Kobe Bryant is playing with a dislocated finger, knee injury and he has ankle problems. Both Skip and Stephen have great points but there crazy. Theres nothing to compare with all those guys. They are all great in their own ways so you cant say Dwayne is better than Kobe NO WAY. Kobe is more clutch than Dwayne, he is smarter than Dwayne BUT Dwayne is more athletic than Kobe, he is STRONGER than Kobe and there are more reasons.
@o2tenify Why do you include walton? He didn't lead the team you dumbass. It's all about the player who lead the team to a championship. Btw james is not working, wade is working for lebron to get a ring. lol
Lebron has about the same numbers as Oscar Robertson who is considered a top 5 player of all time and Oscar didn't win a ring until Kareem came and in his 11th season with his Second team and I know Lebron comes off as a Asshole sometimes lol but at the end of day people need to move on and whether he wins a ring or not he will be an all time great like Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Ewing, and Elgin Baylor who lost in the finals like 8 times himself
lmao how in the fuck is melo a top 5 player???? once again bayless doesn't know wtf he's talking about he is incredibly biased and should be fired! carmelo anthony gets benched in late game defensive situations durant is also a guy who plays 1 side of the floor..IMO you have to be a 2 way player in order to make a top 5 overall list dwayne wade,lebron james and kobe bryant should be in every bodies top 10 because when it comes to playing both sides of the ball there in a league of their own!
@agyeiboateng great point! IMO there is no way you can exclude lebron james from a top 5 list without being a hater! if you dont want to put him number 1 thats your preference i can understand that because what he did in the finals last season was beyond atrocious but if you honestly think there are 5 players better than lebron james on both ends of the court your on crack! they speak about the 4th quarter as if thats the only period of basketball with any significance total B.S
Exactly! It's just hating imo. I don't see a problem with putting the likes of Kobe and Wade ahead of him....but Howard, Anthony and Durant i question? What have they proved ahead of Lebron?
@agyeiboateng if your putting kobe ahead of lebron you cant be speaking of the 2012 season!! the original argument was who is the best player RIGHT NOW!! not 4 or 5 years ago but RIGHT NOW..lol if your bringing up past accomplishments for active players why the hell isnt tim duncan on the list?? i think Stephen A Smith wants to see lebron succeed but he's still having trouble with the garbage he witnessed in last years finals! but c'mon there is no way that lebron doesnt belong on that list
@youz1uglybish WELL HOLD ON NOW!! KOBE'S SEASON IS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE THIS YEAR. BEST SHOT MAKER IN THE GAME!! HAVING SAID THAT, I LOVE HOW LEBRON IS PLAYING THIS YEAR TOO. LOL
@keyon11000 i don't think kobe is the best shot maker in the game at all thats very debateable! but what isnt up for debate is the fact that he takes more shots than anyone else in the entire nba right now! kobe is having a great season but from en efficiency stand point you have guys like lebron james and kevin durant shooting better than 50% from the field for the season..kobe bryant at no point in his career was this efficient scoring the basketball..numbers dont kill you efficiency does!
@jjdudz23 lol here we go again...anything inside 22 feet from the basket is a 2 point field goal...if you choose to shoot the ball 21 feet out its still 2 points!! so why not get lay-ups and dunks LBJ does the exact same shit as D.ROSE but much more effieciently! i dont care if he shoots 2 % on jumpshots the bottom line with LBJ is that the ball falls into the basket over half the time it leaves his hands he's shooting 55% thats 4th best in the league and hes second in scoring 29ppg
@youz1uglybish That's why stop comparing him to Kobe. Wait till lebron reach 33 and let see what his driving to the basket can do. difference between the two is James love the stats, Kobe loves wearing rings. Simple as that.
@keyon11000 efficiency is that ugly little 10 letter word that people often ignore! who cares if kobe scores a 100 points in a game if it took him 200 fga to do so? take nowitzki in last years playoff run it wasnt his 30 point games that where killing teams remember dirk played against the thunder last year he had a game where he scored 48 points on 15 fga<----this is ridiculous he missed 3 shots all game long!moral of the story dont just get caught up in #'s look how the #'s are being posted!
@MrJtotheohnnn dumn ass phone posted same shit twice but yeah dwight howard average twenty and fifteen and he has been snubbed the mvp for the past three years i thought last year him and rose should have spit it. K love is so high on my list bcuz i tried to say he's not that good and he's overated but the way he bangs down low and could shoot the rock i gave up 23 and 15 numbes dont lie. And monte is a 2 not a point and the last time i check dwight wanted to play wit him
@MrJtotheohnnn ok i was typing to fast on aldridge however spell his name. Ok first melo is not a top ten player look at denver now he's a ballhog who makes teamates around him worse he has top ten talent. Manu makes everyone around him better and is a much better deffender. And kobe is a legend but so is tim duncan its called age bro he's not the same kobe that i loved to watch play he doesn't have that same step
@MrJtotheohnnn ok i was typing to fast on aldridge however spell his name.

And kobe is a legend but so is tim duncan its called age bro he's not the same kobe that i loved to watch play he doesn't have that same step
So dumb lmao. Putting lebrob below dhoward, durant and dirk is stupid... Lbj is a better basketball player than all 3 of them. Look at the career stats, the mvps
1a lebron james 1b. Dwight howard 2. Kobe bryant 3. Derrick rose. 4. Kevin durrant 5.dwayne wade 6.kevin love. 7. Chris paul. 8. Monte ellis. 9. Lamarcus aldridge 10. Manu ginobli i watch alot of basketball but those eleven r special. 6 k love if he played in la boston or ny hell be the best pf in the leaugue. 8. Monte ellis again if he play in a bigger market he would have been an all star. And manu over dirk any day manu is so underated
@gtre1087 #1 you put howard over kobe then you're out your fucking mind. Kobe is top 10 of all time, give respect where its due. The only reason lebron and wade are above him is they are in there prime and they are balling like crazy whereas kobe is deteriorating. #2 kevin love is to high up the list....dont get me wrong, double doubles like nothing but dont get it twisted, he doesn't have the x factor. #3 monte ellis is not top 10 and he is even arguably not a top 10 pg in the game, and you
@gtre1087 can't play the "what if" card....if there was a greater demand for him, he would be out of golden state or players would have been drawn in to play with him but that is not the case. #4 manu is underrated for sure but so is carmelo anthony and melo is better in terms of all around player. Manu is top 20 #5 who the fuck is lamarcus aldrigdge???
@MrCTaylorGang yeah in the regular season, but when it counts a lot he's been a disaster, every year he gets worse and worse in big moments. He was great taking scrubs to the finals back in 07 but ever since he has been folding in big moments, and in another video they both admitted as a TALENT he is #1 but he is missing the extra step as in clutchness and heart which prevents him from being in the top 5, but I still agree with you that he should be in the top 5, I have him at 4 or 5
So Lebron is not on the list cus he has no rings wtffff FUCKING HYPOCRITES what about durant melo Dwight WTF?? Skip and that fag Stephen are just haters
both of them really don't know shit cuz carmelo is garbage he can't even score the ball now. he has horrible shooting percentage look at the game against the suns he is straight horrible and the team has a great roster and all the shitty lottery teams are beating them.
@mkvballer83 Why is Carmelo in the top 5? What are these big differences? All NBA defense? MVPs? Finals appearances? Postseason record? I understand the prisoner of the moment, but to not have LeBron in the top 5 and have less accomplished athletes shows a lack of respect for the mans accomplishments. And I am not a LeBron fan and I hate the heat.
@ubiquitousdark7 Theres one purpose to be in the NBA. To win a NBA championship. Stats arent nothing unless they are important. Lebron's final stats were straight up horrid. Kobe has went to the finals SEVEN times. Sir, that is very hard. Yes he has a team. Shaq couldnt win with kobe, but kobe couldnt win without shaq. example: patrick ewing vs hakeem olajuwon. very similar stats, but we all know who was better. the heart > over any skill.
i agree with dwayne wade,he is having an average season but we will see the truth in playoffs.

did skip just say kobe cant dunk?! get these stupid fucks off the air. look at it this way, at this very second in time if father time stops kobe at 33 dwayne at 30 and they stay that age forever. if both are healthy (kobe is not healthy finger,knee, wrist etc.) and lakers propose a trade wade for bryant heat would take that in an instant. nuff said.

ImMrStealYoGurl 2 weeks ago
@usmanioa See, I kind of have to say that Durant be one and LeBron be two. Why? Because LeBron is in his prime currently, however Durant isn't. LeBron lacks certain aspects that make him better than Kevin Durant. LeBron would never be trusted to shoot and make a buzzer-beater to win the game, ever. While Kevin Durant, does not care about pressure and can sometimes be trusted to shoot a buzzer-beater every now and then. Kevin Durant is almost the same level as Lebron, but hes in prime.
Rorschach1030 2 weeks ago
@Rorschach1030 U made a good argument but there are some things u forgot to consider. defensively, durant is good, but nowhere close to lebron's defensive dominance; no one (except maybe wade) applies their IQ and quickness to dominate defensively like King James. Also, lebron elevates the games of his teammates ; he is always willing to distribute and make others look good. i agree that durant could be better than lebron, but I cannot say that today. maybe 2-3 years from now,

Skip, your forgetting something, Kobe Bryant is playing with a dislocated finger, knee injury and he has ankle problems. Both Skip and Stephen have great points but there crazy. Theres nothing to compare with all those guys. They are all great in their own ways so you cant say Dwayne is better than Kobe NO WAY. Kobe is more clutch than Dwayne, he is smarter than Dwayne BUT Dwayne is more athletic than Kobe, he is STRONGER than Kobe and there are more reasons.

@agyeiboateng great point! IMO there is no way you can exclude lebron james from a top 5 list without being a hater! if you dont want to put him number 1 thats your preference i can understand that because what he did in the finals last season was beyond atrocious but if you honestly think there are 5 players better than lebron james on both ends of the court your on crack! they speak about the 4th quarter as if thats the only period of basketball with any significance total B.S

@agyeiboateng if your putting kobe ahead of lebron you cant be speaking of the 2012 season!! the original argument was who is the best player RIGHT NOW!! not 4 or 5 years ago but RIGHT NOW..lol if your bringing up past accomplishments for active players why the hell isnt tim duncan on the list?? i think Stephen A Smith wants to see lebron succeed but he's still having trouble with the garbage he witnessed in last years finals! but c'mon there is no way that lebron doesnt belong on that list

@keyon11000 i don't think kobe is the best shot maker in the game at all thats very debateable! but what isnt up for debate is the fact that he takes more shots than anyone else in the entire nba right now! kobe is having a great season but from en efficiency stand point you have guys like lebron james and kevin durant shooting better than 50% from the field for the season..kobe bryant at no point in his career was this efficient scoring the basketball..numbers dont kill you efficiency does!

@jjdudz23 lol here we go again...anything inside 22 feet from the basket is a 2 point field goal...if you choose to shoot the ball 21 feet out its still 2 points!! so why not get lay-ups and dunks LBJ does the exact same shit as D.ROSE but much more effieciently! i dont care if he shoots 2 % on jumpshots the bottom line with LBJ is that the ball falls into the basket over half the time it leaves his hands he's shooting 55% thats 4th best in the league and hes second in scoring 29ppg
youz1uglybish 1 month ago
@youz1uglybish That's why stop comparing him to Kobe. Wait till lebron reach 33 and let see what his driving to the basket can do. difference between the two is James love the stats, Kobe loves wearing rings. Simple as that.

@keyon11000 efficiency is that ugly little 10 letter word that people often ignore! who cares if kobe scores a 100 points in a game if it took him 200 fga to do so? take nowitzki in last years playoff run it wasnt his 30 point games that where killing teams remember dirk played against the thunder last year he had a game where he scored 48 points on 15 fga<----this is ridiculous he missed 3 shots all game long!moral of the story dont just get caught up in #'s look how the #'s are being posted!

He was great taking scrubs to the finals back in 07 but ever since he has been folding in big moments, and in another video they both admitted as a TALENT he is #1 but he is missing the extra step as in clutchness and heart which prevents him from being in the top 5, but I still agree with you that he should be in the top 5, I have him at 4 or 5

Shaq couldnt win with kobe, but kobe couldnt win without shaq. example: patrick ewing vs hakeem olajuwon. very similar stats, but we all know who was better. the heart > over any skill.
