Its a list of the best players of the 2014-15 season. I am sure alot here will disagree.

It's a bit strange given how quick the NBA world was to anoint Bledsoe as the next star when he was earning LeBron James comparisons and nicknames with the Los Angeles Clippers. But now, despite serving as the best player on the Suns throughout the entire season, even when Dragic was in town, he's failing to get the credit he deserves from far too many casual fans. Bledsoe doesn't have name recognition working in his favor, but he plays like a superstar.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...g-nbas-best-players-of-2014-15-season/page/80

Here is the top 25

1. Anthony Davis
2. Steph Curry
3. LeBron
4. Harden
5. Paul
6. Westbrook
7. Cousins
8. Gasol
9. Wall
10. K. Thompson
11. Durant
12. J. Butler
13. Duncan
14. Alderidge
15. Lillard
16. Horford
17. K. Irving
18. Lowry
19. Bledsoe
20. Griffin
21. Wade
22. D. Green
23. Teague
24. C. Anthony
25. Millsap

As an aside, Goran was ranked 39 and Brandon Knight 43. Keef was 92 and Tristan Thompson was 106.

The number of NBA GMs or head coaches who would rank Bledsoe above Griffin is zero.

Durant at 12? Griffin at 20?! That list is ridiculous.

But even more then that, it spells out the sad state of the NBA right now. If Jeff Teague/Bledsoe/Milsap are even in the conversation for top 25 players in the league, the league has a MAJOR talent deficiency.

Blake Griffin at #20 is hilarious.

Only one player from that top 25 list has not made an all star, all nba or all defense team....guess who.

This list stinks, BTW. Carmelo barely played this season, Griffin is at least 5 spots underrated, and Anthony Davis was not better than Curry and Lebron. I could go on.
