If I had to guess - which I do because I'm not clicking the link or putting any more thought into this - they probably think Klay will be back this year (which he might).
Harden behind AD and Giannis? this list is invalid...whoever created this garbage needs to find a new line of work
Lebron shouldn't be number 1. Should be behind Harden and Curry. Didn't make the playoffs last year (Failed to activate). Defensively slipped a bit. Needs AD. Weirdly averaged 67% free throw last year, even big man Giannis had better FT %.
Any list with Lebron at #1 is wrong. He hasn't been the best player in the NBA for years. Excellent player, very good, all time great, in the conversation for best ever - BUT - past it. Harden is MVP or runner up the last 4 seasons. Apart from flip-flopping criteria he probably should have 3 of the last 4 MVP awards. How is he at 6????
