What do you think about Yahoo Answers official top 10 NBA players list?

I think it's pretty good. I'm proud of ourselves that voted. 9 players are in all 3 lists. The differences are Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, and Pau Gasol. SI and Y!A are pretty similar; they have the same top 6 players.

By the way, as you were the one asking the questions, did you get a vote too?

BQ:

ESPN 3.5

Y!A 8

SI 6.5

ESPN: I'd rate it a 6 or 7. I lol'd when I saw Griffin on there. Every other player is fine, but Chris Paul should not be that high; he's been highly overrated as of late. Both Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony are better, more diverse players than Blake Griffin, and they deserve the spot. Even players, such as Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo, Zach Randolph, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Manu Ginobili deserve a higher spot than Griffin.

Y!A: I'd rate that a 9; I almost completely agree with it, even though I have Dwight Howard much higher than that. Other than that, it's fairly accurate.

SI: I'd give that a 7 or 8; it was a great luist up until I saw Pau Gasol's name. I really don't see why people put that guy on the top 10 still; sure, he played well in the Finals last year, but he just isn't very consistent.

My list:

1. LeBron James

2. Dwyane Wade

3. Dwight Howard

4. Dirk Nowitzki

5. Kobe Bryant

6. Kevin Durant

7. Chris Paul

8. Derrick Rose

9. Deron Williams

10. Carmelo Anthony

11. Amar'e Stoudemire (I had to sneak him on there)

I'd point out ESPN (and SI? I'm not sure) uses a different methodology that you did. What they did was ask people to rank each player on a scale of 1 to 10. You asked for the #1 player, then #2 player after the #1 was chosen, and so on. I think you have a good list because of the way you got it. For example almost everyone on ESPN probably gave Dwight Howard a 10 because he's by far the best center. That doesn't mean they thought Dwight is 2nd best - the voters probably gave lots of players 10. The top 10 reflects whom voters think are consistently good.

BQ:

ESPN: 7. Griffin shouldn't be top 10.

Yahoo: 9.5

SI: 8. Don't think Gasol is top 10 at this stage.

Yahoo Answer's list is the best because anyone who thinks Dwight Howard is better then Dirk, Kobe, or Dwyane Wade needs to watch more basketball!

BQ: ESPN deserves a 3 and SI deserves a 7. I'll give Yahoo Answers a 9 just because they put Carmelo over Durant.

Yahoo! Answers official list: (voted by the yahoo users in this section)

1. LeBron James

2. Dwyane Wade

3. Dirk Nowitzki

4. Kobe Bryant

5. Dwight Howard

6. Chris Paul

7. Kevin Durant

8. Derrick Rose

9. Carmelo Anthony

10. Deron Williams

this is the best list, however, move durant to 6, move drose to 7, move cp3 to 9 and melo to 8

and switch dirk and kobe and dwade and lebron

lebron is to overated and dwade is underated

Y/A List is the best one easily

SI's and ESPN's are garbage

BQ:ESPN:2/10 (All they did right was put LBJ #1)

Y/A: 8/10 (Kobe should be switched with Howard, but that's fine)

SI:6/10 (Pretty solid list, don't know why Gasol is in that list though)

Yahoo! Answers official list. Blake Griffin and Pau Gasol are not Top 10 players.

ESPN's one is pretty weird?? Griffin? With no Carmelo? Plus, where did Rondo go? You can't miss out Rondo? He's the floor general of the whole Celtics team. I would choose Yahoo list.

ESPN's list is the most accutrate. Kobe is right where he belongs at number 7. Hes not who he once was

Yeah, Much better, and i love how people here don't overrate Dwight howard, im a kobe hater but even i know that he is better than dwight

YA! 9/10

ESPN 5/10

Sl 7/10
