Watch: Was Kyrie Irving ranked too low by ESPN?


More than a few people raised their eyebrows at Kyrie Irving being ranked twentieth overall by ESPN's annual NBArank.

The poll, which puts LeBron James first overall, followed by Steph Curry, James Harden, and a tie between Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo to round out the top five, has its share of detractors just for throwing Giannis at the same level as KD.


With Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid and Damian Lillard rounding out the top ten, I imagine at least a few of you can find fault with that assortment as well.

I may not agree with Jalen Rose on lots of things, but Kyrie ten slots below Dame is just silly.
