Booker is far better than 38 year old lebron in basically every way.
Bron is a better rebounder, passer, rim-attacker, and probably a better defender.
Booker is easily a better defender than Lebron who may be the worst starting defender in the league.
lmaooo no way u just said guys like Poole, Lillard, Lamelo, and Giddey are better defenders than LBJ
Only player who belongs in the 3rd best player tier is Steph imo, everyone else should move down one
Are people serious about Butler..?
Yes
Foulbaiting is an underrated skill
yall saw what he did to the East
It was mostly the Bucks. He was just a good player against the rest of the east
Bruh how many times do we have to go through this
Not a bad list compared to what usually is posted here. Glad to see a list where Tatum isn’t completely disrespected.
When are people gonna realize booker is better then KD now?
I just listened to the Thinking Basketball pod in this, thought his rankings were quite interesting. He likes to do ranges to account for uncertainty they’re in brackets where I remember them
- Jokic
- Giannis
- Curry (2-6)
- Kevin Durant (3-?)
- Embiid (2-?)
- AD (?)
- Doncic (6-8)
- Tatum
- Butler (8-11)
- Lillard (8-11)
HM: Lebron, Booker (both 8-12)
He kinda had a couple groupings 3-5: Curry KD Embiid and 9-12: Butler Lillard Lebron Booker
Yup. That’s the list.
Steph is 3, Embiid is 4. The rest can be scrambled however one chooses to. But those two are locked in as #3 and #4. Unquestionably.
im not putting embiid any better than 7 till he does something in the post season...
1: Steph
2: Embiid
3: Tatum
4: AD
5: Luka
6: Lebron
7: Jimmy
8: KD
9: Dame
10: Booker
Book and SGA over Dame, Luka over AD
Tatum is better than luka because he plays with a shit ton of talent?
IMO there’s a tier of guys there that are pretty much interchangeable. Steph, Bron, Luka, Durant, Tatum, and Embiid. Any order is somewhat valid.
Give me Steph and Luka over all of them honestly.
is there a player more disrespected than Embiid
I’m gonna assume this is at full health?

HM: Dame Dbook and jimmy
This list is all wrong.
- Jimmy Butler
- LeBron
- Anthony Edwards (hate on me all you want you’ll see)
- Chris Paul
- LaMello Ball
- Wemby
- Jru Holiday
- Alex Caruso
- Cam Reddish
- Thanasis Antetokounmpo
I think i would take Lebron over nearly every one of those players in the playoffs.
3.Curry, 4.Luka, 5.Tatum, 6. Bron, 7.KD, 8.Booker, 9.Embiid, 10.AD.
If kawhi is completely healthy, put him at 4 and everyone slides one spot.
Your list is flawed if you don't have SGA on this list
