The basketball world is raging right now. And so am I.
In ESPN’s yearly NBA player rankings they have rated Kobe Bryant 25th on the list…
Now last time I checked he was a top 5 player lat season. How he dropped from 6! To 25 is beyond me.
Now the selection committee ain’t filial of idiots. They know their stuff. I’ve seen the list they have NBA know how… But COME ON.
25?! Do you really think he’ll have that much of a drop? I’ll say it now I don’t think he’ll be an MVP candidate. I’ll stop there. I can see him being an all star if he returns before Christmas. (Laker nation will make that happen) but 25?! Way off.
Kevin Durant said this on twitter…
Players should rate players..just like the nfl do..these analysts never played at this level before! Just being real
Fair point indeed but how about this.
Why not do both? I’m one for rankings. I love rankings. They’re always instant conversation/debate. So why not have a player ranking by a selection committee full of writers, analysts, sideline reporters. And then rankings by players. I’m sure if Durant goes to the players association and says “Can the players make a list?”
I’m sure if they’re passionate about getting listed by people who haven’t played the game at that level (Excluding Bruce Bowen and others) they could get something going… I would love to see that. And I’m sure most of you would too.
