If Durant is so good like yall say why cant he get the players involved like Curry or create team unity it shows every time Curry gets hurt hes the only one scoring high point theres no set up for other players Stephen get over it Durant is just another scorer not a team player even there win & loss record reflects it Curry is G.S & Durant is along for the ride cuz Green told him right we were winning before you & will after you he's overrated & has no team concept about him...

How could you not have Kevin Durant (best scorer in the world) and Steph curry (best shooter and point guard in the world) in your top 5 players. That's just utterly disgusting!
Javon Akers Curry has been to 4 straight finals while winning 3 chips. Won 2 league mvps and one of them unanimously which has never been done before, broke the record for the most threes in a finals game and finals series, and in a single regular season, led them to a 73-9 season and is currently averaging 30 5 and 6 on 50 50 93 that's just INSANE. Name me one player other than Lebron and KD who has done something similar or better.... I'll wait

You know whats crazy about this take ? I COMPLETELY understand what Max is saying, but I still disagree. KD is on the Warriors who is on a losing streak with Steph being injured, Kawhi, Giannis, LeBron, Harden and AD on a less talented team are doing better.
GNB it’s obvious the lost the raptors had more point dummy. But kd had better stats than kawhi. Coming into the 4th kawhi had 31. Kd started checking him and he ended the game with 37 in the 4th and overtime. While kd exploded with kawhi checking him and hit 2 dagger 3’s in his eye late in the game while being down.
Kd is not top 5 max couldn't be more right when curry was hurt they was losing games that's the time he was supposed to shine curry won championships without him
Kawhi the only one in the nba right now that would have a chance. Giannis could take a leap this year defensively but honestly even post injury KD is basically unguardable. Hell be a top player for at least 2 seasons when he comes back. He's not playing next year so the year after hell be 100 percent
wabi sabi are you stupid kd was out on the floor with klay and that’s it Quinn wasn’t doing shit Andre not doing shit Kevin looney not doing shit curry hurt and draymond you don’t know wtf you talking about
Obviously KD is the either the 1st or 2nd best player in the league with LBJ. Thats not even a debate. However, I think what Max is trying to say (or should be saying) is those other players are almost as good, and MUCH more valuable to their team. The Raptors are not that great without Kawhi. New Orleans is terrible without AD and so on. Take KD away form the Warroirs and they are still a good team. Take Curry away and they struggle (proven even season when Steph gets hurt, they lose). So, of course KD is a better all around basketball player than those guys they mentioned, but he is not as valuable to the team.
But that's not what he said he said AD is a better offensive player than KD which is absolutely ridiculous, and he said Kawhi is better cos KD is only a little bit better offensively than Kawhi which is equally ridiculous the guy can score from ANYWHERE.. Max is making the argument they are better players, he even mentions Giannis as a better player.. I get what u are tryna say but that is not what Max was tryna say at all
@@aceofpittsburgh at the beginning of the season everyone said the Raptors have the deepest squad in the league.. Now that they have one of the best records they changing the narrative to "Its all Kawhi"
Well KD dropped 51 on kawhi so he's out the convo . And you can't bring up any stats cause KD sharing the ball with 3 other all stars and still averaging damn near the same shit as them
GNB If that’s the case then kawhi is the best player followed by steph and kd because their teams have better records than lebron and ad. If it’s wins that make you the better player.
KD is one of my least favorite players. I do not root for OKC or Golden State but absolutely hated his decision and how he made it. I DO NOT LIKE KD AT ALL. That being said.... you have to be the dumbest person in the world to not think he is top 5, even top 3....
Why don’t you like KD brother? Because he made what was best for him? I’m sure you love Iverson and Kobe.. in my opinion KD is better than those guys or at least will finish with a better careeer than them
@T Raw bruh a win is a win it don't matter if you had half a team or 1/4 a team. I wouldn't be laughing if I were you cause you just lost your bets player for the entire season and your 3rd best player for half of the season so you should be praying that Steph drops 30 or 40 al,ostevery night to get the 1st seed in the wc, which is highly unlikely now with with AD and LBJ gonna beat yo ass
Curry is miles ahead of K.D it shows whn Curry is hurt & he comes back cuz whn Curry is hurt the only persons #s tht dont change but increases is K.D & the teams #s fall thts not a good leader whn Curry healthy everybodies #s im prove & there a balance to the team...
Ignoring career stats and accomplishments, like Max is saying, Lebron is the one who is not a top 5 player right now. Just looking at the pure stats, Steph Curry would be far and away the best player RIGHT NOW. That's why no one makes that argument, because it makes you lose track of the forest for the trees.
Exactly. Literally setting new standards of offensive efficiency. Lebron CLEARLY has the better career... but right now? Straight facts, Curry is a better player than Lebron.
@@davidmuller6011 *sigh* I'm building on Max's whole "right now" spiel. In the 2018-2019 season, like in the 2015-2016 season, Curry is significantly better than Lebron. THIS SEASON, he is a better player. That does not make him a better player overall, which is why Max's argument is idiotic
Take ANY team in NBA ... Select the best defensive player of that team.. Match that player up with KD ... not only will KD out score every single player on the court.. KD's defense Will be more of a threat to that defenders offense... More so than that defensive player 's "ELITE DEFENSE ' against KDs Offense. Durant will continue to score as usual..So... KD.. 2nd best player in the league. And it's Not even close
Love Trumps Hate i agree but he’s very close with Leonard and curry like it’s understandable if people pick Leonard or curry over him cause they are all great in different ways and can valued in manners others couldn’t so i feel like it just based off of what type of team you would want to build and what you have if you had to select who in your eyes is better
I think Giannis should be in the list but the argument is that he needs to win something. I may be mistaken but I don't think he has made it out of the first round b4.
black senju lol what ? That has evrything to do with it u cant blow a 3-1 lead to a guy then join that guy and pretend ur better just because he played a little better against Cleveland cuz that what the defense allowed they double teamed stpeh every time he touched the ball its lebron curry kawhi then kd , do u even watch basketball? Lol clearly not
I think max knows everything about talking shit but not basketball..kd is always in the top 3..offensively is 2nd to mj..he can easily score 40 a night if he wants to. And hes a big factor defensively..he is the best scorer in the nba right now..most efficient..✌
To be honest, i have been watching nba since mj then kobe and now kd ,, kd is the a better scorer than them , i am a laker fan since magic, kobe isn’t that top 5 scorer , kd can score 40 every game easily, he can shot from everywhere ,... mj had greatness but everyone nowadays just riding his d for nothing ,
The women in my life have a sense of humor. I joke with them and they give me a hard time sometimes. We don't worry about being pc, get along great, and have fun in life.
Max kellerman is a joke, Stephan a put him in his place. Doesnt matter if he joined GSW (even tho it pissed me off and I'm still annoyed), it doesn't mean he's Shit. He's a top 3 player. Done
Jack Goncalves max is the max because he uses what is relative and doesn't signify what one did in the past but what he's doing currently . Stephan A is more about what he has done than what he's doing now. Plus Stephan also sounds like he is more black defined in his approach t ok his favorite players and their legacies. I am also a person of color so in this respect my bias is derived from technique etc. And not by race . Yet I like Max will call the kettle black unless its orange .
Kd is a top player and people say he is 2 times finals mvp. I agree with the first but the latter is nonsense cause he plays on a stacked team and himself blew a 3-1 lead when under pressure
Theres always at least one Stephen A. in every barber shop

Rushking20 #Cheesehead personally Giannis over curry
Obviously KD is the either the 1st or 2nd best player in the league with LBJ. Thats not even a debate. However, I think what Max is trying to say (or should be saying) is those other players are almost as good, and MUCH more valuable to their team. The Raptors are not that great without Kawhi. New Orleans is terrible without AD and so on. Take KD away form the Warroirs and they are still a good team. Take Curry away and they struggle (proven even season when Steph gets hurt, they lose). So, of course KD is a better all around basketball player than those guys they mentioned, but he is not as valuable to the team.
But that's not what he said he said AD is a better offensive player than KD which is absolutely ridiculous, and he said Kawhi is better cos KD is only a little bit better offensively than Kawhi which is equally ridiculous the guy can score from ANYWHERE.. Max is making the argument they are better players, he even mentions Giannis as a better player.. I get what u are tryna say but that is not what Max was tryna say at all
Are you sure about kawhi and the raptors? They played just fine when he was out.
@@aceofpittsburgh at the beginning of the season everyone said the Raptors have the deepest squad in the league.. Now that they have one of the best records they changing the narrative to "Its all Kawhi"
This comment better still be one of the top comments
@@01tshepo except offensively you are better off with ad than kd. Kd is still good but he isn't a garunteed lock for top 5
3:01 is me knowing dang well I have 4 essays to turn in but choose to procrastinate
Well KD dropped 51 on kawhi so he's out the convo . And you can't bring up any stats cause KD sharing the ball with 3 other all stars and still averaging damn near the same shit as them
Kevin Durant THANK YOU!!!!!!
Kd is averaging more than all them 😂
GNB If that’s the case then kawhi is the best player followed by steph and kd because their teams have better records than lebron and ad. If it’s wins that make you the better player.
Why did no one mention that?
TheUndefeatedOfTheEast nigga the eye test tells you who is a better player
KD is one of my least favorite players. I do not root for OKC or Golden State but absolutely hated his decision and how he made it. I DO NOT LIKE KD AT ALL. That being said.... you have to be the dumbest person in the world to not think he is top 5, even top 3....
Anthony Gonzalez perfect cudnt b said better
He's not top 3 but I have no problem saying he is top 5. I also can see him make an argument that he is not top 5 tho.
@@elijahkuhl1835 You Stupid If you think there are 4 players in the NBA better than KD!!!
Why don’t you like KD brother? Because he made what was best for him? I’m sure you love Iverson and Kobe.. in my opinion KD is better than those guys or at least will finish with a better careeer than them
Because he did*
He just drop 45 then 50 lol top five he totally is
Alexander Sakadelis... in the playoffs!!!and not off 100 attempts... he takes smart shots, makes the right pass reads when the shot isnt there
KD is top 3 - no argument.
KD is top 2 - very little argument.
KD is #1 - lots of arguments. But they all be LOSING arguments 😎
0ldCat Quinn cook?
Everyone knows that jr Smith is number one
T Raw your comment didn’t age well 😂
T Raw “good joke” lmao is it still a good joke now that the raptors are NBA champions😂
@T Raw bruh a win is a win it don't matter if you had half a team or 1/4 a team. I wouldn't be laughing if I were you cause you just lost your bets player for the entire season and your 3rd best player for half of the season so you should be praying that Steph drops 30 or 40 al,ostevery night to get the 1st seed in the wc, which is highly unlikely now with with AD and LBJ gonna beat yo ass
Max kellerman is an AIR HEAD this what KD talking about these fanboys 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Facts😂😂😂
The Rea List
1. Lebron
2. KD
3. Kahwi
4. Steph
5. AD
6. Giannis
And you can switch 3 and depending on how much you value defense
Joel Embiid 7
@Austin Kirkendall In the Finals Curry is a lesser version of himself. I cannot say the same about KD
Sorry Kawhi really aint close to Curry. Kawhi's had one great year and is nothing special offensively
Curry is miles ahead of K.D it shows whn Curry is hurt & he comes back cuz whn Curry is hurt the only persons #s tht dont change but increases is K.D & the teams #s fall thts not a good leader whn Curry healthy everybodies #s im prove & there a balance to the team...
Didn’t KD just put 51 on Kawhi though
Who won?
Gerry P KD still better
Chico Wright And lost, gotta do more than just score buckets to be a top 5 player
Chris F KD does more than score tho
Yep and he lost because his team didn't step up like he did
1:53 I dropped my phone when he said that smh 🤦🏾♂️
Definitely, this was one of the dumbest thing I've ever heared, AD better in 3s😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ignoring career stats and accomplishments, like Max is saying, Lebron is the one who is not a top 5 player right now. Just looking at the pure stats, Steph Curry would be far and away the best player RIGHT NOW.
That's why no one makes that argument, because it makes you lose track of the forest for the trees.
Exactly. Literally setting new standards of offensive efficiency. Lebron CLEARLY has the better career... but right now? Straight facts, Curry is a better player than Lebron.
KOLUX 97 how is 30 5 6 51better than 30 8 6 on 52? 😂kd better than curry
yall better watch your backs, can't be speaking the truth like this in a public forum what's wrong with you
@@dalewilley8024 what are you smoking? Curry is not better than lebron lmfaooo
@@davidmuller6011
*sigh*
I'm building on Max's whole "right now" spiel. In the 2018-2019 season, like in the 2015-2016 season, Curry is significantly better than Lebron. THIS SEASON, he is a better player. That does not make him a better player overall, which is why Max's argument is idiotic
Take ANY team in NBA ... Select the best defensive player of that team.. Match that player up with KD ... not only will KD out score every single player on the court.. KD's defense Will be more of a threat to that defenders offense... More so than that defensive player 's "ELITE DEFENSE ' against KDs Offense. Durant will continue to score as usual..So... KD.. 2nd best player in the league. And it's Not even close
Love Trumps Hate i agree but he’s very close with Leonard and curry like it’s understandable if people pick Leonard or curry over him cause they are all great in different ways and can valued in manners others couldn’t so i feel like it just based off of what type of team you would want to build and what you have if you had to select who in your eyes is better
Did you see how KD handle them boys 1v1 when training for team USA? No one could stop the man and he made it tough for the to score.
Who is 1st?
He dropped 51 on Kawhi lol
3rd best AD is second best
Anthony Davis a better 3 point shooter than Kevin Durant? Max isn’t in his right mind.
Statistically he is
Sauc3 g0tti it’s still December.....
@@steppa1590 please cut it the fuck out
Sauc3 g0tti How many does he take a game tho?
Sauc3 g0tti cause KD Takes way more
This isn’t really a blasphemous take looking back
Exactly
How? He’s still a top 5 player and AD still has never been better than KD so max is wrong.
Lol. Max is whack.
Top 5 in no particular order:
LeBron, KD, Curry, Kawhi, AD
Giannis Antetokounmpo not AD
Giannis is 6.
I think Giannis should be in the list but the argument is that he needs to win something. I may be mistaken but I don't think he has made it out of the first round b4.
@Tom S Giannis is not better than Westbrook.
No Russ no Harden.....?
Kevin Durant is the second best player in the league no if’s or buts no argument nor discussion
Kawhi Leonard is the 2nd Best
durant is the best player in the league
Mitchell Martinsky we’ll see if kd signs w a garbage team and takes them to the finals like lebron did w the Cavs on multiple occasions
@@SonofSolomon KD is weak, good player top ten but not too five, kawhi is better than KD right now, only LeBron better,
black senju lol what ? That has evrything to do with it u cant blow a 3-1 lead to a guy then join that guy and pretend ur better just because he played a little better against Cleveland cuz that what the defense allowed they double teamed stpeh every time he touched the ball its lebron curry kawhi then kd , do u even watch basketball? Lol clearly not
S.a.s: “Stands here today two time nba champion.”
Max: “Because he joined the warriors”
Me: 😭😭😭😂😂😂
At 4:51.
Yeah but he earned them with 2 FMVPs

Bruh imagine the numbers KD would put if he was in the pelicans
And imagine how many rings would he have also if it was other team not named Warriors .
hozeyy you won the argument right there 😂😂😂
KD needs 4 stars and 3 refs to beat Lebron look at your name you’re a troll
Numbers xD he can't win at gsw without steph numbers don't matter
Kd didn't even put up these so called magically numbers when he had his own team
Max needs to be fired for taking drugs
Stephan A is taking a nap lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shay 35 so am I.😌
6:51 this show in a nutshell
MAX NEEDS TO BE FIRED AFTER SAYING THAT 🤦🏾♂️
Max presents the wrong set of analytics to prove his case offensively about AD over KD at the 3 pt line as there's not enough attempts.
ima use max’s own medicine on himself, “WITH THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE ON THE LINE, IM TAKING KD”
Steven A always letting it be known that HE DOESNT SAY A WORD when Max is talking but max always over talk him😂😂
I think max knows everything about talking shit but not basketball..kd is always in the top 3..offensively is 2nd to mj..he can easily score 40 a night if he wants to. And hes a big factor defensively..he is the best scorer in the nba right now..most efficient..✌
1.lebron
2.kd
3.kawhi
4.ad
5.i think giannis but has to improve shooting
Kobe is second to mj nigga
@GNB he scored 81 in a game though so he is defo top 3
Kobe is good but i think his mind set is to score everytime..unlike kd he's willing to pass more than score thats why i chose him over kobe...
To be honest, i have been watching nba since mj then kobe and now kd ,, kd is the a better scorer than them , i am a laker fan since magic, kobe isn’t that top 5 scorer , kd can score 40 every game easily, he can shot from everywhere ,... mj had greatness but everyone nowadays just riding his d for nothing ,
Do a drug test on max plz😑
All of Max's opinions outside of Boxing are 50% trolling and 50% trying to make Stephen A.'s head explode.
My mom comes in my room each morning when I have school. And turns this on the tv. This is my alarm clock
“Most well rounded” -Max
I guess at this point in his career we can take LeBron out the top 5. He hasn’t played defense for the last 3 years.
Derrick Vineyard 5 years
@@juanio7036 5 years? How about NEVER??? A couple of blocks (5 in 10 years) doesn't make him a good defender.
Bravo Santiago how is he a bad defender? He has gotten many votes for DPOY and got runnerup twice. You would know that if you actually watch the nba

Nah max was right. KD is a tall Jamal Crawford. His skill set has never tilted a team. One point he had Russ, Harden, Ibaka

Who got this after he dropped 49 points 17 rebound and 10 assists against the bucks
Max kellerman is a joke, Stephan a put him in his place. Doesnt matter if he joined GSW (even tho it pissed me off and I'm still annoyed), it doesn't mean he's Shit. He's a top 3 player. Done
Jack Goncalves max is the max because he uses what is relative and doesn't signify what one did in the past but what he's doing currently . Stephan A is more about what he has done than what he's doing now. Plus Stephan also sounds like he is more black defined in his approach t ok his favorite players and their legacies. I am also a person of color so in this respect my bias is derived from technique etc. And not by race . Yet I like Max will call the kettle black unless its orange .
Jack Goncalves Max is smart saying whatever to get attention is his job and well this video is trending
Stephen A is fake
Lps are amazing !!! Your an idiot
Kd is a top player and people say he is 2 times finals mvp. I agree with the first but the latter is nonsense cause he plays on a stacked team and himself blew a 3-1 lead when under pressure
If Kd not top 5 neither is lebron
