These are always good for some discussion, and I haven't seen this posted over here yet. So far they've released up to 31, and will release the rest throughout the week.

ESPN is such a troll, lol.
They can’t deny the Celtics are good, they just refuse to lead off NBA The Jump with C’s wins in the conference finals, a slap in the face we received repeatedly and no other team experienced once.
Then, they come up with a laughable ‘analytics-based’ formula that determines Damian Lillard is a 9 ‘point’ player and Kyrie is a 2 ‘point’ player. The trolling evolves.
Now, we have Al at 16, Kyrie at 17, and GH at 25.
How many players make all-NBA? 15, oops, what a coincidence, we have the 2nd best title odds but just missed on All NBA players. How many players are All Stars? 24, oops, wow, look, Hayward is one spot away from All Star territory just like Al is one spot away from All NBA and Kyrie is 2 spots.
Sure looks like a coincidence, except when the same coincidences slight the C’s again and again, ESPN’s biases become obvious. I’m surprised Brandon Ingram wasn’t top 10
