What yo may not realize about ESPN Top 100

Athletic Alchemy

Hmm!

Paradox

A guy who has connection with Tim Donaghy and nba players with ref beef. Basically talks about nba conspiracies in his podcasts

Pirate Ramsay

dayuummm Alch, that’s interesting.... what would be your list?

Anthony Gray

aight we looking for the takes 👀

Athletic Alchemy

I think id take Luka and AD over kawhi.. but its obviously very subjective

Athletic Alchemy

l will have some predictions after the preseason

Athletic Alchemy

I haven't who is it?

Pirate Ramsay

I second this!

Anthony Gray

this list is dumb. I know dame had a great year but how did he leap frog steph and James harden. Anybody starting a franchise would pick those two over him. He can't be the best player on a championship roster. BUt on another note Alc are you going to drop predictions on the dubs? The rumor-mill has us anywhere from #4 in the west to 14th!

Pirate Ramsay

Ok Alch, I just had a nice long think; and I think Luka and AD r too high, and Harden is too low (Im biased). My list would be imo from 1-10 (no injured players & based on last year): 1. LeBron, 2a.Giannis 2b. Kawhi, 4. Harden. 5. AD. 6.Luka, 7. Dame. 8. Jokic. 9. Embiid. 10. Butler. I also think Harell is too high, Lonzo is too high, and Mitchell Robinson is too low although he's an unstoppable block and foul machine

Pirate Ramsay

OMG Alch, I’m a fool 😂. I meant injured players shouldn’t be ranked for this list oops. I mean u can, but I’ll be much less confident. But u got the overall meaning of my statement thanks Alch!

Pirate Ramsay

IMO, with my experience of Football ⚽️, the discussions there and on UK sports channes r usually more respectful, civil and accurate

Pirate Ramsay

Practically 95% of the media and free agents bend over to suck LeBron off smh. It’s a sad life. No one does that to even CR7 or Messi

Paradox

LeSPN must be half funded by LeBron and the Lakers at this point. Btw Alch, have you watched the Whistleblower podcasts?

Michel ten Voorde

Rankings, rankings, rankings... American sports media are full of 'em. Just wondering why that is. In European sports media it's virtually non-existent, so it may be something cultural? Just wondering.

Athletic Alchemy

You can feel how you feel.. the reality is he has been tied at the hip with Nike since he was like 16..

OhSomeABeanLoadin

How could a guy like LeBron act like he supports human rights, but then support communist China tormenting their citizens just to protect his paycheck. Dudes a fucking hypocrite. Dude deserves criticism on AND off the court.

ACowNamedStan

Like, why even have Steph and kd on the list seeing as they missed the year? If we going off of what we last saw them healthy, that's 2 and 3 respectively

Athletic Alchemy

Either rank them at the end of the season and state it or yeah do a projection

Athletic Alchemy

I’m not mad at the Luka rating.. but realistically he is probably on the fringe of the top 10

Athletic Alchemy

I’m curious too see where he is at after this year. We should have a much more clear picture of his arc. No Grant and year 3

Athletic Alchemy

Haha right! Just leave the hate in the court

Athletic Alchemy

I believe it was the same last year for he and KD

Athletic Alchemy

I initially felt that way about Luka but at this point I think it’s warranted. Kid is special

Athletic Alchemy

🤜🏽

Pirate Ramsay

The ESPN list is wack. And imo I don't think players this year should be ranked, unless they state specifically that it's a prediction, which ESPN is absolutely useless at

Thomas T

I think Luca and that clown ass are ranked way too high

KendrickTheCreative

lmaooo the clown emoji on PG. i think Micheal porter jr too high and steph over dame lol

Jim

I am so conflicted bc I am a LeBron hater and yet he is the enemy of the american moron racist so I have to love LeBron for that

OhSomeABeanLoadin

Did they not even put klay in the top 100? I guess because he's been injured, but still. He'll come back and dominate

Francis Arachea

Great content as always Alch! I think Porzingis was too low, but honestly I'm not sure how much higher I'd rank him. Luka is way too high for me, at least at this stage of his career. And I got to ask cuz I think it's interesting to wonder, how much of the Luka hype is because certain people want him to be The Great White Hope? I hope not much but like I said I think way too high way too soon otherwise.
