    ESPN offseason logic: Let's put out a list and leave Lebron off the Top 5 so we can spend 2 weeks talking about how we shouldn't have left Lebron off the Top 5.
  • @FreeAgent797
    Even if he isn't in the top 5, its still VERY impressive that at this stage in his career he is still in the top 10. I don't think that is something to be overlooked.
  • @khoado123
    so we're just gonna ignore the dude just averaged 30ppg, 7 assist 8 rebounds shooting over 50% FG?
  • @baseupp12
    Honestly LeBron being just outside the top 5 isn't to crazy especially when the top 5 is this talented
  • Malika: "This is the first time that LeBron has been ranked outside of the top 10" RJ: "Top 5 you mean"
  • @elias6406
    It's nice that they're giving Giannis some respect in his #1 position
  • I'm not LJ fan at all. However, there's no doubt in my mind he's still a top 5 player, especially when healthy. His play last year was unprecedented.
  • @mr.martnz14
    So Bron ended second in ppg last season and he is not top 5? This is just hilarious.
  • LeBron James is the best player in the NBA, put some respect on his name!!!!
  • @greenlion2890
    KD and Ja being ranked behind Tatum is the real crime.
  • They just tryna motivate & punish Bron for bringing Westbrook on & making the Lakers look bad last season
  • Even though he's not in the top 5 is still incredible going into his 20th season
  • @BigGroovyOg
    The hates from RJ on Lebron. 😂💀 when Lebron is the reason Rj has a chip blows me always.
  • Ain’t no way. Ain’t no way Bron 6 he frfr top 3. Ain’t nobody doing what he’s doing that’s just Factss. The man bout to be 38 yet still playing like he’s young. He just averaged 30, 30!!! At his age. I get the team needed to be better but Ad missed half the season and Russ tried but needs to be better as well but far as ranking tho nahh Bron is top 3 and that’s just what it is you feel me
  • @CriusXI
    I still put him #1 tbh because he’s still the best player in the playoffs. He has always cakewalked through the regular season
  • I think the problem is once u start getting to the top 10, many people arent really qualified to judge anymore
