i) That's not "vehemently disagreeing" with you saying Durant is better
ii) The top 3 are interchangeable (as I've stated many a time) - I put Curry at the top for the simple fact he was the best performing player during the season
iii) LeBron, Durant and Curry all had valid arguments for being the best player in the league last season
iv) Durant is the best performing player this season

SAFE ASS STANCES.



So you admit that you lied just to push YOUR agenda?:scust:


That's not a lie, an exaggeration if anything. Don't hate my adverbs. :mjgrin:

They're logical, reasonable stances. Something that seems to elude you quite often.

You lied, because I'd never "vehemently disagree" with anybody that said LeBron, Durant or Curry were the best player last season. You said you argued with me/told me multiple times, when we NEVER even argued once over this.

You're obviously getting Durant confused with Westbrook, because we did have a # of discussions centered around Curry v Westbrook. You took Ls in all of them.

You said "bingo" to the post that had Curry as best and now you want to discredited that as much as possible.


Putting a bunch of players into tiers isn't hard, I could do that too, lots of people could. Sorry if ranking people from best to worst is too much for you and your vast basketball knowledge fails at helping you come to a decisive conclusion.

Is this your go-to post move now? Playing dumb just so you can get shot off? And I'm the one with an agenda....

Just stop it. You lied, and that's all there is to it. :manny:

It's not about coming to a decisive decision (you could ask me right now and I could give you a top 3 in order), it's about being reasonable if somebody put forth an argument of Durant, Curry or LeBron being the best player in the league. I wouldn't just dismiss it because I thought personally one player was better than the other. You're in here accusing me of arguing you down multiple times about Durant being the better player - I'd NEVER do that. Even if I didn't 100% agree with your position, I'd still think you'd have a valid argument. You wouldn't get me "vehemently disagreeing" with you or any other hyperbole nonsense you wanna use.

A lil bickering going on out there between Devin Booker & Bledsoe.

Book hit a 3 & a 15 ft J on back to bac possessions.

Suns still the ball, Booker's wide open in the corner for a 3, but Bledsoe passes the ball to bum azz PJ Tucker who misses the lay up.

On the way back down the court, Book screams something at Bledsoe.....Bledsoe looking:birdman:...huffing and puffing on the bench.


It's about time Booker spoke up.I notice Bledsoe & Knight hardly ever looks for him out there.They love passing to Alex Len and PJ Tucker.

I think Tucker got these niccaz punked.He debo'ing the ball out there
I never understood the love affair with Bledsoe. Dude is an overrated chucker. Him and Knight both should be moved for draft picks.

Correction: Eric Bledsoe is a talented and versatile guard option for the Phoenix Suns of the Pacific Division! Some may refer to him as a "mini-LeBron"!

At this point, Chris Paul has absolutely no reason to be in the MVP conversation. Another horrible game with inconsistent effort on both sides of the floor.

Yes, I'm going to continue to beat that dead horse.

Bleds is a great athlete, but his IQ is below average.Especially for a pg.

He doesn't have a feel for the game/teammates strengths & weaknesses.

The only guys he pass the ball to are PJ Tucker & Alex Len.

Conventional wisdom would tell you "Look for that talented young shooter Devin Booker", but Bleds doesn't think like that.

The Suns are a bad team.A bunch of 20 & under guys.The vets that they do have are rugged & bummy...PJ Tucker...Tyson Chandler...Jared Dudley..and chucking azz Leandro Barbosa.I don't even count Brandon Knight.He's the worst player on the team.Arguably the worst ball stopping/shot chucking/turnover machine in the league.

The Suns aren't even garbage level.They're the grime at the bottom of the garbage.Don't have the pieces to play as a collective.


Their best bet is to just focus the offense around Devin Booker & Bledsoe.Those 2 need to be Batman & Robin.Both should be taking 20+ shots a game.I actually believe they can go from being at the bottom of the garbage can to just being plain ol garbage if they do that.

The rest of the scrubs play off the shots they create.It should just be the Booker & Bledsoe show.Like 2 Allen Iverson's out there.

It's the only time they look somewhat imposing out there.

Bledsoe not recognizing that Booker should be his prime target/running mate shows his lack of IQ.

Just imagine Damien Lillard looking for Mason Plumlee & Al-Farouq Aminu and not recognizing CJ McCollum.

That's basically what's going on with Bledsoe/the Suns.

There's a reason that 64% of Devin Booker's shots are unassisted.Even when he has big games, the offensive rhythm is sloppy.No method to the madness.

They need to set roles, add some structure, and regulate the offense.

That structure should hinge on Booker & Bleds.Just let them go out there and create for others.As a fan, I'd rather watch that.Better than the bunk product they're running with now.All that Earl Watson Kumbaya/Care Bear/ love & hold hands shyt.

This the NBA, not high school
