    Ginobili is probably still better than Parsons

    Even at his age, Duncan's PER rankings have been better than Dwight's over the last few seasons. I can't stand Duncan and his incredulous facial expressions after each foul against him, but he's truly in rare air among big men that have ever played.

    The first five players are on the same tier IMO. Comes down to individual rankings.

    DeAndre Jordan, Jimmy Butler, Ronnie Price, Quincy Acy, and Kendrick Perkins, but he doesn't really count.

    How? Harden is clearly the best, and Parsons is probably better than Kawhi or Manu. And I didn't even put Dwight over Duncan. If it was a true homer list I would've had Asik or Lin in there too

    Lol trust me. I'm not a Spurs fan at all. I could've put Asik or Lin or even Vince Carter, but Belinelli's shooting efficiency is off the charts. Asik is most probably a better player, but in terms of production and impact you can't put him there

    If you hold shooting efficiency so dear, then you ranked Dirk too low.

    PPG = 21.5 in 32 mpg
    PER = 23.6
    TS% = .598

    and he's very close to posting his second 50 - 40 - 90 year

    You might be underrating Dirk's year this year.

    Dirk's having a fantastic year. He's an all time great. But he's not better than the four I mentioned before him.

    Athletically, yes. Dwight also has a better sense of humor, but that's about it.

    I'm going to say Dirk is better than Howard this year. imo, Dwight's defense doesn't offset Dirk's offensive superiority.

    I'd even say, the Rockets would have a better record right now with Dirk vs Howard. He's just too perfect of a fit with Harden.

    Nothing wrong with this list, all easily arguable even if I would change a couple spots.
