Is it a reach to say there is no clear cut best player in the NBA right now?

           exactly..like.. can you say Melo, Durant, Amare, Kobe, Rose, D12, etc are better than Lebron or Dwade right now??.
           Not saying the past 3-5 years.. the thread is about RIGHT NOW..

            Cause we can switch it around.. lets say HYPOTHETICALLY Lebron and Dwade got swept in the first round... or lost to the Hawks or

            the Sixers in the playoffs..

            would you say that theyre still better than any player that wouldve made it to the finals this year??.. I highly doubt it..

You STILL didn't answer the question? Let me ask it this way, who were your best player(s) in the league over the last 3 seasons?

Somehow I forgot D-Will on my list, silly me, but put he/CP3 right next to each other

Best list I've seen.

Why Westbrook over Melo?

He's a chucker on offense and a liability on defense. I wouldn't put Melo over any of those 10.
Melo is a chucker and a bad defender but these guys aren't

Oh okai.

Amare>Melo until his knees give out.  Melo is hugely overrated...  Classic loser's game.

Nah you didn't but it's whatever...I figured you'd be contradicting yourself if you did.

I'm positive in 2008 and 2010 you didn't have Pierce-Kobe as the best players and in 2009 D12 and Kobe.

My revised list in order:

1) Wade
2) Bron
3) D12
tied at 4) Dirk and Kobe

tied at 6) CP3 and D-Will

Durant
9) Melo
10) Russ

Cool list but i'd replace Dwight with Dirk and let D Will share that spot with CP3 because those 2 are dead even imo.

Bron, Wade, Dirk, Kobe, CP3/D Will in that order.

 I know its PC to put D12 in the top 5 but i cant ( unless its All Nba)because his offensive game is still a liability. Yes hes gotten better since workin with Dream but he still cant be counted on to get a bucket when it matters most, at least not yet. Hes basically a cleanup/putback monster on offense, defense is where he separates himself from everyone. Not tryin to discredit dude but i cant remember a top 5 player who wasnt his teams go-to guy.
