Summary

John Hollinger joins Danny Leroux and Nate Duncan to break down our rankings of the top players in the NBA. Jokic or Shai at number 1? Who takes the 3rd spot? Where do old lions Steph, KD, and LeBron fall, and how do they compare with the young superstar bigs? How about the bevy of star guards?

0:53.3	But the construct is we are starting a season right now followed by a playoffs.
0:59.3	And then we also are accounting for injuries, but not in the sense that people are injured right now.
