Top Ten Players Heading Into the 2019 NBA Playoffs
The playoffs are around the corner and it is time to be looking at the best players in it. These players have had a big regular season and look to carry it over to the Playoffs. The players on this list must be in the playoffs. (Note: the final two spots in the East are currently being contested, but as soon as we know which teams take those final two spots I may add their best player/players.)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Greek professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association. Giannis is a beast. A lot of people say he is the best player in the league. I kinda still think LeBron is number one, KD is number two and Giannis is number 3, but The Greek Freak is still MVP. The Bucks have secured the one seed in the East and I feel sorry for whoever is about to face them. I just want to see if his game will translate.
The greek freak is the beast...play player right now no doubt..most say he can't shoot he only dunks and that's cool with me..MVP certainly..no JAmes harden please,its not about shooting 50 with 30 coming from FTs
Kawhi Anthony Leonard is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and the Clippers. Imagine, we have been seeing the Raptors really try and rest Kawhi. Imagine him when they unlock him. Kawhi has been amazing and I could see him going to another level in the Playoffs. Expect the Raptors to go far.
James Edward Harden, Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. Harden has been amazing. People are saying he will run out of gas, but to be honest I haven't seen that yet. He is leading a very underrated Rockets squad and I feel like they can make some big big noise.
Harden has a strong case to be the MVP. But while the Greek Freak could be the favorite, Harden probably has a Rockets team ready to make a run for it.
Kevin Wayne Durant is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and the Nets.
He was MVP of the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals. If the Warriors win the Finals again it will be mostly because of this guy. KD is a great player and I would probably like him more if he wasn't on the stupid Warriors.
Joel Hans Embiid is a Cameroonian professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. We saw what Joel can do when he is locked in. He shut down Giannis. If we see a locked in Joel Embiid, the Sixers might just win the Championship.
Paul George is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association. The Thunder have kinda been slumping and they might have a hard first round matchup, but PG13 has still been lighting it up. If he can just get the team around him, who knows we could see an upset first round.
Wardell Stephen Curry II is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is widely considered to be one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, if not the greatest. He is one of the most beloved stars in the NBA today, as well as one of the most controversial. Let's see if Curry actually shows up this year. Kidding aside the Warriors will really need him this year. They are not as strong as they were.
Damian Lamonte Ollie Lillard is an American professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He previously played for the Portland Trail Blazers. Lillard usually sucks in the Playoffs for some reason. Let's see if Dollar Dame can actually get out of the first round this year.
He gonna be an animal on the court
Christopher Emmanuel Paul is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association. Chris Paul is the X-Factor for the Rockets. If he shows up and he doesn't get injured I have the Rockets going to the Finals. Yep I said the FINALS.
Benjamin David Simmons is an Australian professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. Ben Simmons is a big part of this Sixers team and I can imagine a huge step in his progression in this year's playoffs.
Draymond Jamal Green Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association.
Nikola Jokić is a Serbian professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association. Man this guy is balling this year!
Russell Westbrook Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. He's got the most to prove this postseason.
Kyrie Andrew Irving is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and the Nets. The best point guard in the league best handles and amazing shot
D'Angelo Danté Russell is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball League. A beast he is gonna be a big player in the Playoffs.
Blake Austin Griffin is an American professional basketball player for the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association.
