    The Dwight Howard in the post-season was the best he's EVER been IMO. I've Never seen him dominate in the post like that and his defense was about as good as this team allows it to be.

    He's a big man, that means his prime years will be now, I don't think he's shown many signs of decline not even athletically. He still caught oops out of nowhere, gets up and down the court as fast as any Center can, and skies high for blocks.

    He was hurt for a year and half, but now that he's healthy he looks just about as athletic as he once did. the difference is his offense no more relies on oops and dunks so you don't see him flying around the court as much, but he still very much can.

    I think Chris Paul has been overrated the last few years.

    Technically, Ben Wallace made 2nd Team All-NBA that year, so that's top 10 in voting. But yeah, does that really make him a Top 10 player.

    For the people insisting that both Howard and Harden are top 10 players: when was the last time a team with two top 10 talents, both healthy, failed to get out of the first round?

    Paul and Griffin last year

    Duncan and Parker in 2011

    Can we say Nowitzki and Finley as #1 seeds?

    What's your point. Upsets happen in the NBA

    Who had the best season? Or who are the 10 best players?

    I'll go with top 10 players.

    1-Lebron
    2-Durant
    3-Love
    4-Harden
    4-Griffin
    6-Paul
    7-Melo
    8-Westbrook
    9-Howard
    10-Curry

    I'm not very confident on that. Gets incredibly hard after top 2.

    I think Kyrie makes way in there next year. I think he'll take his game to another level and become the best pg in the league. While Curry will take a step back IMO.

    My TOP 10

    1. LeBron
    2. KD
    3. ANTHONY DAVIS
    4. Griffin
    5. George
    6. Howard
    7. Rondo
    8. Westbrook
    9. CP3
    10. Noah

    Love hasn't shown me anything except putting up great numbers in the regular season. Curry and Harden are great scorers but they have a long way to go defensively. Never been a big fan of Melo. Volume shooter/scorer. Doesn't know how to win. If I could extend the list I'd put Aldridge and Dirk next.

    Davis is going to make some serious noise next year and beyond. Dude is such a stud. You can tell from my list I highly value players that can play both sides of the ball.

    The lack of Parker and Duncan or even Manu is hilarious in here. You don't make conference finals for 2 years with no stars.

    In no order

    LBJ
    Durant
    WB
    Parker
    CP3
    Duncan
    Griffin

    These 7 for sure, then the rest is kind of iffy/debatable for me. But it would be something like

    Dirk
    Marc Gasol
    Lowry

    Then these are ones I think should be in top 10 as well but didn't put them in cause their impact wasn't as great.

    Dragic
    Aldridge
    Howard
    John Wall
    Curry
    Paul George
    Noah
    Harden

    Is this including playoffs? If so, I would put Lebron # 1 then Durant # 2....if it's just regular season then Durant # 1 and Lebron # 2

    The rest are

    3. Griffin
    4. CP3
    5. Curry
    6. Harden
    7. Aldridge
    8. Kevin Love (could be higher if made playoffs)
    9. Anthony Davis (could be higher if made playoffs/healthy)
    10.Carmelo Anthony (could be higher if made playoffs)

    Both CP3 and Griffin were injured for game 5 and 6 vs Memphis last year. You can call them out for bad fitness or that Sterling cheaping out on the medical staff, but technically both were hurt vs Memphis.

    Deandre Jordan averaged more boards, blocks, and FG% than Dwight Howard this year. Does that mean he's top 10 too? Those are some key stats for the almost extinct center position. The center position should be a support role that is responsible for defense, rebounding, and changing shots. I don't think Dwight does that as good as he used to after back surgery.

    Very funny to see list with no Spurs players in it, Griffin at all should be close to out of top20 players in the league. Hillariuos when you put him in top10 when he does nothing on the court, no defense, offense is something that does not exist except of power-points
