Hedo, Granger and Durant move one spot up each respectively, to #2 t0 #5. Artest should be #6 and Pierce should drop to #8 on the list. Melo dropped on pierce's spot? you've gotta be kidding me. Pierce claiming that's he's the best player in the planet, can't even be justified... you got a lot to consider... (winning with two future HOF in KG and Mr.Shuttlesworth.) besides topic about the best player in the planet? you can only put 3 in the same breath, that's D-Wade, LBJ and Kobe. and Melo's just creepin' on the come up. @haslem says: lets just say it: before its all said and done, KD might just out do melo KD outdoing melo? how? on a game of horse? :) hahahaha! KD's getting better as a scorer, but he still can't do what melo does in games (melo doesn't need to score much)... melo brought his team to the playoffs in his rookie season, how did KD faired on his rookie season? (which made me think that LBJ was hyped up) and yes KD might pile up points, but melo piles up W's. KD would be able to Out Do Melo in Year 2020... :P @jzsmoove says:

Melo dropped on pierce’s spot? you’ve gotta be kidding me. Pierce claiming that’s he’s the best player in the planet, can’t even be justified… you got a lot to consider… (winning with two future HOF in KG and Mr.Shuttlesworth.) besides topic about the best player in the planet? you can only put 3 in the same breath, that’s D-Wade, LBJ and Kobe. and Melo’s just creepin’ on the come up.

A role player who hit open spot up threes and was a better team defender than individual one was better than Pierce last season. Admittedly Pierce didn't have his best year. I wasn't too optimistic coming into the season considering that his worst season happened five years ago when he similarly had little time off in the offseason like he had this past one, recuperating from his meniscus sprain after a long playoff run. He didn't start getting ready for the season, really ready, until about three weeks before training camp. That's how long it took for the soreness in his knees to disappear. Overall, he looked sluggish but he was still a far far better player than Ariza. You can't compare a top offensive option who has to create his own shot to a guy who mostly feeds on open threes. Ridiculous. Pierce is still young enough that with a full offseason to rejuvenate, I expect him to play very well next season. Ariza was better than Pierce, really?
