    He doesn't play defense, so he doesn't belong in Top 5 discussion until he does.

    Durant and Lebron play great defense, Kobe has history of playing great defense, and Melo tries to play great defense. Harden on the other hand...

    True. But Harden should play defense, don't you think? At least try!

    Melo plays pretty average defense. At least he tries.

    You know he's the only one of the five that is the only top tier (eh so Amare kinda sucks) on his team?

    Cp3 is better.
    Not to mention Harden plays no D.

    Best 3:

    LeBron
    Durant
    CP3

    Guess what? All 3 are great defenders, and at the least, try.

    Melo sucks at playing defense. Kobe is a net negative defender. Barely puts any effort outside of 5 minutes against Lebron in an ASG. :rolleyes: However, he gets wrecked by Wade in recent RS games that actually matter. Always has been a pretty poor help defender but a good man-man defender. In the past few years his defense has been average-poor.

    I don't want to see Durant and great defense in the same sentence either. Durant guards Chalmers while Lebron guards Durant. Durant usually guards the weakest offensive players.

    And CBS has Chandler Parsons as #27!

    These rankings are more for offensive production.

    You can hide Harden on defense, but you've gotta have someone who can score against any type of defense. And we got an elite one! whoohoo

    Blows my mind the way that newer posters rush to undermine any praise that's given to the best and most popular Rockets player.

    Don't get me wrong Durant is a lot better defensively now but not a great defender. Great defender= all defensive team caliber defender.
