NBA Live 15 Player Ratings Revealed - Top 5 Centers

Re: NBA Live 15 Player Ratings Revealed - Top 5 Centers

My gf is a huge Spurs fan (we live in So Cal) and we have NBA LP and I pretty much watch 85% of the Spurs games.

Saying that Duncan, at this stage of his career, is better than Tony Parker or Kawhi Leonard is simply not true. This is NOT a knock on Duncan (2nd greatest player in his generation) just a fact. Go re-watch the Finals IF you truly think otherwise.

Based on last season's play, Duncan was the best player on the team. Yes, Kawhi and Tony are physically more capable than Tim but what he lacks in physical ability he's learned to make up for with his understanding of the game and high BBIQ. He is still the anchor for everything the team does and without him the team wouldn't have beat Dallas in the first round.

He was the best interior defender, best rebounder and was the second best scorer on the team during the regular season. I know it's hard to imagine that a 37 year old center - especially with his ridiculous mileage - was the best player on a championship team, but dude actually was. And unlike Parker, he didn't phone it in throughout most of the season on one side of the court.

Noah's face looks off. Something real weird going on there. Al's face is spot on though.

I've got nothing but respect for Duncan. While IMO he's not top 5 in big men, by no means do I mean he's way down the list. Top 7 for sure.

In particular order:

Blake
Howard
Noah
Aldridge
Davis
Jefferson
Duncan
Cousin
Bosh
Love

Duncan is still on the same Level as Joakim Noah, Aldridge has a better jumper than TD, but as far as overall impact, I still think Duncan is ahead of him. You can't out Anthony Davis over Duncan either, not yet. I still would go, Howard, Noah, Duncan, Aldridge, Bosh then Cousins. Those guys have the experience. Davis and Cousins need playoff experience to even be considered Elite, in my opinion. Blake Griffin is a bit over rated, he doesn't take his team over the top. I would put Cousins over him

Honestly patty mills and Boris diaw came thru in the finals...the bench and Khawi went hard!

That's true. If we are basing ratings on the finals Diaw could be a top 10 pf and mills a top 10 pg.

WHAT Did you not see Blake during the season last year while Cp3 was out for a long stretch? The man was a monster! He was playing at a MVP level. I think hes the top PF right now but only cause his ball handling puts him slightly above the others.

Why? Why should playoff experience determine if a player is elite or not? That's ridiculous. Cousins puts up elite numbers, wins shouldn't matter.

Cousins is disrespected because he's on a bad team and most people don't watch Kings games, so they have no idea of how he plays and the numbers he puts up. Fact is, he's arguably the best Center in the league, and his stats back it up.

That's why I had him ranked #1 when Iwas doing my ratings. Cousins has issues but hhe's not being rated on that as I said earlier. Also don't blamehim for the system they run in sSacramento.

Because the playoffs is where you make a name for yourself. Why you think Paul George is considered a Top 10 player now? If Indiana wasn't making the playoffs, you think he'd be rated a 90 or even being talked about? Nope. I'm not disrespecting any of them, but that's the way it should be.

I can't rate Kevin Love until I see him in the playoffs, can't give these guys a pass, even if they been putting up numbers. Playoffs is where you separate the man from the boys
