Here is the CBS list

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-top-100-player-rankings-giannis-stephen-curry-kevin-durant-vie-for-no-1-lebron-james-slips/

C's
100 - Grant
65 - Horford
62 - Brogdon
56 - Rob
45 - Smart
19 - Brown
9 - Tatum

Their list overall makes a heck of a lot more sense to me than the ESPN one.  Not just the C's, but top to bottom.

Their top 10 were in order
Giannis
Curry
Durant
Jokic
Doncic
Embiid
Lebron
Kawhi
Tatum
Butler

I don't really have any issue with that.
That top 10 is embarrassing. Curry and Durant ahead of Jokic should be a fireable offence for whoever wrote that
I have no issue with it honestly.  Nash was back to back MVP's and wasn't anywhere near a top 2 player in the league.  Curry wasn't either when he was winning back to back MVP's.  Frankly, a lot of people didn't even have Giannis in the top 2 when he was winning back to back MVP's. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

I don't care about MVPs, Jokic is the best offensive player in the entire competition by a significant margin. And better defensively than Curry
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)

C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Now the game becomes predict the correct order of the top 10.  My guess:

1. Giannis
2. Luka
3. Jokic
4. Embiid
5. Curry
6. LeBron
7. Tatum
8. Durant
9. Morant
10. Booker

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I think we should take a break from the Udoka situation and talk about how I almost perfectly predicted the top 10.  ;D  Just swapped 2/3.  Guess you all were right for criticizing me putting Jokic at 3, twas the only thing keeping me from a perfect bracket.

You did a fine job.  And I did too, as the only thing I had any opinion about was Jokic.
