Guess the order of ESPN's top ten.

[nickagneta]

Well....no one had 7-10 correct though a bunch of us had 3 of those 4 players in the right spots.

This is my guess of how ESPN will rank them, not my own opinion.

LeBron
Howard
Wade
Kobe
Paul
Durant
Dirk
Rose
Deron
Blake (he should be more in the 15-20 range imo)

Switch Dirk & Kobe and I might have the other 8 right.  #7 is right around where I'd rank Kobe but I didn't expect ESPN to have the stones to put him out of the top 5.

Overrate Chris Paul much??

I guess ESPN values defense more than I thought.

Shocked that Derrick Rose finished so low after winning the MVP last year.

Shocked that Derrick Rose finished so low after winning the MVP last year.

Yeah, it almost made me want to take a look at the rest of their list.  Having Rose at #8 and Kobe at #7 gives the list more credibility.

Still, Blake @ #10 and Amare / Melo at 11 / 12 is pretty ridiculous.

Keep in mind there is no ESPN mandate here or bias. It's a whole lotta people voting on this. Results are aggregated.

I guess CP3 was a better defender than i thought.

ESPN's Top 5:

5) LeBron
4) Kobe
3) LeBron
2) Brett Favre
1) LeBron

...sadly, I'm only sorta kidding.

[nickagneta]

Well if I had switched Kobe and Chris Paul I would have had the list correct. 8 for 10 in the right spots...not too shabby.

I guess CP3 was a better defender than i thought.

I wasn't saying he's anything special, but any list that has Dirk and Durant below him has some messed up criteria, especially after last season.  What else could they think justifies that?

I definitely don't think he's THAT much better than Williams and Rose.  A better defender, yes, but nothing that really separates him 5-6 spots.

[PosImpos]

Dwight Howard is great, but his team got ousted in the 1st round this year because he was effectively hampered by Jason Collins.


Not #2 in the world.

Lebron James Tweet:

S/O @NBAonESPN and many thanks to the journalists for that blessing! I'm very humbled and I strive and try to be the best every time I take the floor. Gotta keep working though. Nowhere near satisfied.

"Humbled"?  Lebron James?  Seriously?  I honestly didn't think he knew what that word meant.  Actually, if he attempted to use it to describe himself, I'm pretty sure he must still not know what the word means.

Let's all throw some Tommy Points at wdleehi and NickAgneta for sharing a sister kiss as co-winners with eight correct each.
