1) Lebron
2) Durant
3) Curry
4) Paul
5) Harden
6) Boogie
7) Davis
8) Lillard
9) Gasol
10) Aldridge

Paul as in Chris Paul? What is he doing on this list?
Paul might not even be a top 5 PG in the league and you got him at #4 overall??
and where is Russel Westbrook?

WTF? Maybe not even a Top-5 PG? Are you serious? You lose any credibility as a basketball fan if you don't think Chris Paul is a Top-5 PG.

18 PPG, 10 Assists, 4.5 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 2.0 Turnovers, with a .481 FG% and .410 from 3-Point, and a PER of 25.50 These are tremendous numbers from the PG position especially the 5 to 1 Assist to Turnover Ratio. Seriously 2.0 turnover per game from a PG the calibur of Chris Paul is an incredible stat. Cousins turns it over 3.9 times per game and he's a center.

You then factor in the leadership ability from Chris Paul. He makes everyone around him better, and he's on very good team. What is not to like?

I'm quite serious. Curry, Lillard, Westbrook, Wall are all above Paul now. Then you got guys like Conley, Lowry, Parker (yea he's been injured), Irving (im not a huge fan) that arguments could be made for

I disagree. I think Paul is the best true pg in the league. I also think Westbrook is a bit overrated. He is probably 11 or so.

The highest I could put Paul right now is third but even that is really a push for me. Lowry's simply had an amazing year and I think that players like Conley and Lillard have probably had a great effect on their teams than Paul really has on his (despite the absolutely awful backups Doc has given him)

1. Curry
2. Wall
3. Paul
4. Lowry
5. Westbrook

Westbrook is not better. Who does he make better other than himself? You take Durant away and that team sucks because Westbrook is more interested in creating shots for himself than others. Same somewhat for Lillard who is also a poor defender. John Wall is very close, maybe after this entire season I rank Wall ahead of Paul but I need to see this current John Wall for an entire season......but you are right he is damn good.

Chris Paul is the 2nd best PG in the NBA right now imo (the ranking at the PG spot pretty much change game to game cause the talent is that close),

I got

1# Curry
2# Paul

These two are the locks and the next 4-5 spots are between Lowry/Wall/Teague/Lillard/Westbrook

I guess you could argue against Teague since the team went like 4-0 with the German Rondo starting but he's been pretty damn good when healthy this year.

If Iriving is in the argument than Isaiah Thomas was a top 5 PG last year as well.....come on Kyrie has no argument he would get killed in the West and he's the most overrated player in the NBA.

Kyrie Irving sucks. Terrible teammate, doesn't play defense, doesn't help others succeed on the court.

I think Lebron underestimated how big of selfish losers that both Irving and Love are. Will be very interesting to see if Lebron can literally will those guys into winners. It's almost more difficult being put with guys that good (who really don't want to sacrifice to win)
