I, along with many other Stoolies, tend to agree with a lot of what Barstool Founder Dave Portnoy has to say. However, this list is TRASH and I have many issues with is.

  1. Devin Booker is not a top 10 player. I think it is a stretch to say he is a top 15 player. To have him ahead of guys like Steph, Embiid, and Jokic all of whom were MVP winners/candidates this season is a travesty.

  2. I have a hard time putting Kawhi as high as 4 given his recent injury woes. The best ability is always availability and it seems he just can't keep himself on the court.

  3. Lebron is a top 3 player. There's just no two ways around it. At the beginning of the season I would have even said he is the top player in the world. After this season I think he definitely fell at least one spot, but to put him at 6 is wack.

  4. Embiid and Jokic not appearing on this list is a JOKE. These two guys are anomalies in terms of the finesse they have playing the 5 and would give your favorite player 30 and 10 on any given night.

  5. Tatum is a good player, I am not convinced he is a top 10er yet. However, I am confident within the next 2-3 seasons he will be.

Now that the NBA season is over and content ideas will surely slow down, I think seeing top 10 lists come out would be a great way to spark discussion. Keep an eye out for mine coming out later tonight!

    His list is very polarized for many reasons.
    At least we all agree with Giannis as numero uno.
    From 2-10 is up for grab.
    I can understand why Booker should not be top 10
    while Giannis did show up for four games and deliver it to Milwaukee.

    Portnoy is a specialist at producing controversy with absurd takes and goofy moves. He knew what he was doing lol
