    Kd
    Lebron
    CP3
    Harden
    Love
    Westbrook
    Dirk
    Curry
    Griffin
    Rose
    Aldridge
    Wade

    All are

    and you could make the case for
    Anthony
    Noah
    Deandre Jordan
    Iggy
    Duncan
    Parker
    M. Gasol
    P. Gasol
    Ibaka

    and Im sure there are more. He's not clearly top 10 or 15

    You lose a lot of credibility even mentioning Iggy, Ibaka, Deandre, and Pau. The others bolded are also highly debatable to say the least.

    Blake Griffin would be in my top 3 for MVP this year.

    Paul is NOT the guaranteed #3 player in the league. His teams have never won sh#t.

    Davis maybe. I would put Harden, but I just can't justify putting a bad defender in top 5 in the league.

    At this point it's clearly

    Durant
    Griffin
    Harden

    Totally agree. I was going to make 'Who is the 3rd best player' thread but decided against it last second.

    I don't agree with the 'consensus' that Chris Paul is absolutely, no doubt #3 in the league.

    Dare I even say that Clippers team (and their success) is Blake Griffin's as much as it is Paul's.

    It's Harden or Griffin. I couldn't really argue against either choice.

    But I picked Harden cuz he's my guy.

    What's the argument for James Harden over Steph Curry? Curry gets to hide defensively which makes him better on that end.

    Derrick Rose was NOT better than Howard this year. Are you comparing based on 2011 Derrick Rose? Then we should use 2011 Dwight for comparison too.

    Harden needs to improve his D before I can consider him 4th best.

    Cousins isn't top-20. Why's he in this poll?
