    Lakers are damn tough to beat when he's on, though. And he's damn impossible to stop when he's on, too. The problem with him is all mental.

    Didnt say he’s a scrub but he isn’t a top 5 player. He never was no matter how long these talking heads tried to push it. AD led teams were never any good. And we still see what AD is without lebron. Definitely ain’t a top 5 player

    To be fair no one thought was Kuzma was going to be good at all. MPJ was considered a high lottery pick but fell because of his injury history. Lakers and Lakers fans want Kuzma to play like MPJ and that's not fair to Kuzma, lol.

    It's funny, right now, with LeBron, he is definitely a top 5 player, but alone he's a mess because he's not a leader.

    Nah he isn’t with lebron. He’s the same player in a secondary role which is much better suited for him to contribute to winning. It actually means lebron is the top 5 player, not him and a disrespect to the other actual true elite players in the league leading their teams to wins. Top 5 players are reserved for true Alpha’s not beta’s

    I think top 4 is easy: Harden, Giannis, LeBron, Kawhi in some kind of order.

    After that, it gets tough...I’d probably take Jokic at 5 and beyond that...not sure as no one really stands out to me. Could make a case for Paul George as he regularly got his Pacers in the playoffs with a weak cast, but it was also in the weak East. Could also make a case for Embiid, but he’s got some mental issues. After that, Doncic, Lillard, Butler, and Davis probably are somewhere in or around the top 10. They can’t take a weak cast and make the playoffs, but they can probably be there with a solid 2, but you can say that about a lot of stars...including Westbrook.

    Man he so cringeworthy. Him and Reggie had a bet tonight and he was saying to Reggie "give me my money", and the way he was saying it was so ****ing annoying!!

    Exactly!

    AD is top 20. He is Russ level. Super player, but not top5.
    Very handy 2nd fiddle though.


    And at least Russ could take his squad to the playoffs.

    the nuggets youngsters taking it to the starting lineup of the lakers, and the sad part is it appears the lakers are actually TRYING to win this game.

    I finally got a chance to see jokic up close in the bubble and he is really impressive, i always thought he was overrated. But im taking him over AD if you ask me

    So confused about seeding. Rockets twitter wants Denver to win but Denver is trying to tank yet the bench is not allowing it.. So many scenarios can't keep anything straight.
