s 10-6, just a reminder that Hawaii is ranked #12, James. Harden 11 arrives at 10. It's Mr. Devin Booker and next at nine, who is John Morant? Why are you here? Because you're too smart to play Vanna White. I hate that it's Mr. Kevin Durant. I'll get out of there. the way then and ahead of Duran at seven is ah Jason Tatum and coming in at six is ​​four-time Finals and regular season MVP LeBron James ew yeah you guys okay this is the first time since the NBA rankings started, which is in 2011, LeBron is outside the top ten, so I think that begs the question, Zack, it sounds like you're studying the list to make sure you understand that everyone looks very happy, look how happy that seems to be in the top five, which Mr. right, okay.

Do you know what I'm going to do? What is the question? The question is: Does it belong there? Does it belong outside the top five? Yes, he is the law. You know, look, this is how I see it, it's like this instead of listing the people, players by, there's a group. and then there's everyone else, in my opinion, it's Luca, it's Giannis, it's funny, it's embiid, it's Steph LeBron KD and then there's everyone else, there's that group and then that's the rest, so I think it's there around six because the other guys. They have won MVP or been the best in the leagues, all that.

I know it's there, but just outside, okay, so those Five Guys are once again Janis, they're pranksters. Bianca. I said Korean Giannis Luca and the account is fine, LeBron also belongs in numbers. six I think LeBron is in the right position. I think a top five player makes our team a contender because we have him and when you look at all the guys that are ranked ahead of him, I anticipate that happening this year, but also for this list that I got. to say a couple of things, yeah sir, who's thinking and by the way, these are all great players and all, but Kawhi, where's Kawhi Leonard, he's number two.

They must have forgotten. Did you see Kawaii's thighs the other day? the code that was that was that no let me tell you something that wasn't a real picture bro and let me tell you something I won player of the week before yeah I got an MVP vote before okay not that. I don't want to say that he was better than anyone, so let me show you this, let me say this real quick. I love Jason Tatum, he is not better than Kevin Durant, love, love, Kevin Durant, Giannis, Steph Luka, yoga and Kawhi, for me, they are in their class, they are fine, those four or five players for me, those are the top five, those guys, jokic is not in it, so LeBron is one step lower, okay, LeBron has seven, okay, I want him to be right, opinion is okay.

Richard is just Jason Tatum hasn't gotten over KD on Kauai yet, no. I think you know that and it's something that could be tried and stay throughout this year. I want to get Brian Windhorst's take on this because he has covered LeBron incredibly closely throughout the entire process. your entire career, how do you feel about his placement on the list? I didn't know Jay Rose got an MVP vote so cheers man you got the next contract for me, the max contract says a lot and I know that was nice too. but it doesn't matter how many MVPs, but look, I don't know about the range.
I don't particularly like classifying things. I'm sorry if that makes me a bad TV guest. Here's what I would know if I were starting a playoff series. I would want Giannis first and my second pick up to this point would

still

be LeBron and certainly if I had the third pick I would

still

be happy, but LeBron is still up there in a seven game series and that's where I see him if you want. to put them six you want to put them seventh you want to put them third whatever but that's what I see I agree with Wendy I can't believe it look if you want to scream and scream that LeBron belongs in the top five you read the The names of those guys are incredible and no They include Kawaii, who is amazing, and Durant, who is amazing.
These are really difficult decisions, but winning 82 games in the regular season with a team, this is the right thing for LeBron, he is fine, he is older, he only plays 55-60. games a year, but I agree with Wendy on one game or a series of seven games. I want him over some of these guys. Yeah, I want him over some of these guys. I probably want it above the centers. I can't beat him for Giannis. I can't beat him for Durant, those might be the only ones because this guy is still the master of chess. He remains the ultimate chess master.
Here's what I know about the NBA rankings. You can put 100 people in a room, each one will have a different ranking. your top five, that's all thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming Sports and premium content subscribe to ESPN Plus
