    Was curious about Jason Jones. His background - covering the NBA and Culture. Previously he spent 16 years at the Sacramento Bee, covering the Sacramento Kings the last nine years after covering the Oakland Raiders for four years.

    Whoever won both MVP and Shaqtin a fool MVP is bound to be controversial.

    For the bearded bum Salaam is the only one close to being correct. #33 on the list is way too high.

    Too early. Harden has not won any team related hardware yet.

    With Philly.

    It's nice to see Chuck Wagon in the top 40.

    Jason Jones is a complete ****ing moron who has Isaiah Thomas in his top 20 and ahead of Hakeem Olajuwon. George Mikan at 14. Dude is trolling.

    But just because he’s an asshat doesn’t absolve the other clowns who have Steph Curry over Dream. You should never watch basketball again if that’s your opinion. Or Durant. Or Kobe. Kobe is an incredible player and a no doubt top 20 guy but he’s the most overrated player in history. Thanks Los Angeles.
