LeBron’s ranking (both for being too high and too low).
@AlexKennedyNBA Bron only 94? Wow
— Michael Brazeel (@SmokeyRobins0n) September 22, 2015
CP3 for being too high.
@AlexKennedyNBA CP3 So overrated it's sick
— D. A. Ellis (@EllisD69) September 22, 2015
The league MVP for being ranked too high.
@AlexKennedyNBA absolutely disgusting. Curry isn't even a top 5 player, much less top 2
— guh (@De_Cleveland) September 22, 2015
And for having the audacity for leaving Paul George out of the top-10, but including Melo and LaMarcus Aldridge.
@AlexKennedyNBA PG should be #8
— D. A. Ellis (@EllisD69) September 22, 2015
Fun times down on the ol’ gamer circuit. Nice to know that out in the digital realms people still have KD’s back. Can’t wait for he and Westbrook to go beast mode in Billy D’s offense.
