    I think Anthony Davis has finally arrived to the big boy table with the big 4 you already mentioned.

    Kawhi is in that group If he can return to form but that’s a big if at this point.

    But ya I agree there’s 6 true transcendent players in the nba right now.

    The rest are just stars and cp3 is really close to the top of the list of the star players with Westbrook and him being te closest imo to the superstar guys.

    The crazy thing is I think embiid, Simmons and Mitchell are top 10 players right now.

    Philly is scary already and their only going to get better.

    I’d take those 3 guys over KAT, Butler,PG13, jokic and Irving.

    Those kids are studs and the future of the nba. Their so good, the nba is in good hands with those 3 youngsters.

    Rambling now but my revised top 10

    Lebron
    Harden
    Steph
    KD
    AD
    Kawhi
    Simmons
    Embiid
    Mitchell
    Giannis

    Westbrook
    Cp3
    Butler
    KAT
    PG13
    Jokic
    Irving
    Derozan
    Cousins
    Olidipo

    howbout OKC never got back to the finals without Harden?

    not sure if you're debating that harden is not a true superstar like curry & kd

    if harden replaced curry in 15 & 16 as the gsw's best player he'll have 2 rings now
    and kd in 17 he'll have another ring

    The only gu
    I dont agree with this, Paul is better then Simmons, Embid and Mitchel, and so is Westbrook. Only dude you can make an argument for is Giannis.

    Reading troll comments. Lol that or they didnt see Harden at playing in the 3rd quarter.

    Funny how some people go out of their way to leave comments on a rockets fan site.

    why not have both?

    if cp3 can average 25 & 7 or 20 & 10 the rest of the PO's he's a supertar in my book

    If we do end up facing the Warriors in the WCF, we better start running plays that involves a lot of player movement and ball movement. This ISO game plan will not get it done against them. We've been there done that **** and it never worked out.

    Everybody in the NBA arena would tell you Chris Paul is a Superstar. You are indeed tripping.

    The Rockets cannot celebrate this too much. Outside the 3rd quarter, they actually lost to the Wolves.

    Just stop. We were tied at the end of the 1st. Rockets won the 2nd by 1. We lost the 4th by 11, much of which was garbage time because of how much we blew them out in the 3rd.
