Also, Bleacher Report isn't the Bureau of Amateur Writers and Slideshow-Makers any longer, not really. They've got some real journalists with working knowledge of the sports they cover and the sources to break news. They have a stigma because of their crowd-sourced content beginnings, but currently they are as reputable a news source as any. |

You are resistant in accepting new normals. This is just your personality. |

There is no way that he is among the top ten players in the world |

Top 10 in the NBA. I have no idea if BC Prievidza has a better player or not. I only follow the NBA. |

You're an idiot, but fine. The people you then would say are credible cite Butler as having: #13 best PER #5 VORP #3 best Win Shares #6 best Win Shares per 48 #10 best Box +/- AAAAAAND he got all of that without even being in the Top 20 in Usage Percentage. Simply put, he is the second or third most complete player in the NBA and definitely Top 10. There is no argument. |

I figured they had Durant as a 4 and that is why I strongly suggest not using them as a source anymore. |

Maybe Klay Thompson? http://www.thescore.com/nba/news/109247 ... er-forward http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/ ... ate/319616 |
