Westbrook ahead of D.Will is pretty blah, maybe it's just because I'm too attached to the notion that PGs should be pass first, score second.
I guess they're ranking Rose without taking last season's injuries into account. Kobe's ranking is acceptable. Love at 7? I think I'd rather have Dirk, his stepback is money.
Out of those all-NBA teams, the first team would probably win more often. The second team is weaker in the paint defensively, and if Lebron is playing the way he was in the finals, they'd have a hard time stopping him (and obviously he can kick it out to CP3, Kobe, or Love if they do manage to cut him off).
Anyway, my guess for top 5: Lebron, Durant (those two should be obvious), CP3, Dwight, Rose
KD was a different beast at the olympics than what i saw in the finals. maybe he had a lebron moment. i want to see more of that KD this year. he will be #1 if he can do that.

"We asked 104 experts to rate each player on a 0-to-10 scale, in terms of "the current quality of each player."
That's the question that was posed, but that doesn't mean the scorers didn't take into account future potential, that's up to each individual scorer.

It's supposed to be as they stand in the game now. But I suspect many took the future into consideration. Probably why say guys like Westbrook, K-Love and Deron are ahead of Dirk (travesty, IMO).
Westbrook is ahead of Dirk atm. K love also. Really weird that they ranked Dirk so low the year after coming off an impressive playoff run which I assume is based on him being out of shape - which should drop injured guys like Rose (who isn't even close to top 5) and Deron Williams (wrist injury).

Yeah. the improvements to gameplay they made this year looks great. I can appreiciate the small market it has on PC cause half off lol I think D Will is better than Westbrook, but the higher ranking is probably due to Westbrook being on a better team. But I think D Will is a better point guard, Westbrook is a heavy volume shooter and so will look amazing some nights and terrible the next.
Really pumped for 2k13, glad to know I'm not the only one that plays it on the PC rofl. I always feel so left out when I see my friends playing it on their Xbox / PS3 but I just play it on my computer.
skip bayless is possibly the dumbest sports analyst like, ever
You're giving him too much credit, analyst requires critical thinking. Bayless just says whatever pops in his mind. HEY GUYS IF I SAY SHIT IN A CERTAIN TONE THEN IT MUST BE TRUE RIGHT GUYS? RIGHT?

He's not on the show to be an analyst. He's on the show to do exactly what he does. If he were any different while he was on air, I probably wouldn't even watch First Take.
Oh and having Kobe Bryant 6th on that list is down right disrespectful.

i dont understand. why would you ever want to watch him?
what do you guys think about the new flopping ruling? personally I think video review is needed more, and this won't do much to curtail the flopping issue.
