In the early hours of this morning, NBA commentator Perkins listed the top five players in the league who are 25 years old and under in esppen on ESPN's "NBA TODAY" program. They are: 1, Doncic; 2. Morant; 3. Trae-Young; 4. Tatum; 5. Edwards. Subsequently, Perkins tweeted the video, which attracted heated discussion, let's see how fans comment!
I’m not mad at this list, it’s based upon what they’ve done since being in the league. I’d love to see Top10 under 25 . Zion, LaMelo… who is 8th, 9th & 10th?
I'm not angry about the list, it's based on how they've been in the league since they've been in the league. I would love to see the Top 10 under 25. Zion, La Mello (ranked second)... Who are the 8th, 9th and 10th?
Credibility instantly lost… Trae and Morant over Tatum?? Luka is the only player you could make argument for being over Tatum and that is debatable.
Credibility is momentarily lost... Trey and Morant over Tatum? Luca is the only player you can argue over Tatum and is debatable.
No it’s not debatable at all Luka has a big gap over Tatum
No, it's not debatable at all, there's a big gap in Lukarakaitam.
Lol Tatum getting 4 lmfao. I'll accept Luka being ahead of him, but that's it. None of those other guys have accomplished as much as Tatum and aren't even better players.
Haha, Tatum ranked 4th. I could accept Luca coming ahead of him, but that's about it. None of these other players have achieved as much as Tatum, or even better players.
Tatum #1 ,he’s prolly the only one on that list realistically in a few years can win a championship ..
Tatum is number one, and he's the only player on the list to actually win the championship in a few years.
If U put Luka on last years Celtics roster they win it all 100%
If you put Luca in last year's Celtics lineup, they won 100% of the championship.
Trae averaged 15 on awful effecienctcy in the playoffs Tatum gets slander from averaging 22 7 and 7 on an injured shoulder
Trae Young, who averaged 15 points per game with poor efficiency in the playoffs, averaged 22 points and seven rebounds per game with a shoulder injury, and he was denigrated.
This dude really don’t like Tatum imagine taking your Team to the finals and you not too 3 in someone top under 25
This guy really doesn't like Tatum imagining leading your former team to the Finals, and you didn't rank him in the top three in the under-25s rankings.
Kp was praising jt defense saying he top 10 all playoffs now he behind trae young who just avg 15 ppg against da heat & ja morant who cnt stay healthy!!! Jt been to 3 ecfs & a finals & only him n luka made all nba first team! List flawed & not consistent w his previous takes
Perkins has praised Tatum's defense, saying he's in the top ten in the entire playoffs and is now behind Trae Young, who averaged just 15 points per game in the series against the Heat, and Ja-Morant can't stay healthy!!。 Tatum has played in the Eastern Conference Finals three times and the Finals once, and only he and Luca have been named to the first team of the season! The rankings are flawed and inconsistent with his previous views
1 Luka 2 Tatum 3 Trae 4 Ja 5 Zion* IF he can stay healthy, he might even be top 3
1 Luca 2 Tatum 3 Trey 4 Ja-Morant 5 Zion * If he can stay fit, he may even be in the top three.
Zion could be number 1 on this list if he is in shape and Luka is not. If Luka gets in shape, which it looks like he finally is, there is no stopping him
If Zion is in good health and Luca is not, he could be number one on this list. If Luca gets back in shape and it looks like he's finally getting into good shape, then no one can stop him.
No Lamelo Ball? what’s up Big Perk
No Lamelo Bauer? Big Perkins What's wrong.
He’s not as good as those guys and he’s lost win or go home play-in games twice in two years
He's not as good as the other players, and he's lost twice in both seasons in the play-offs of losing and going home
Brandon Ingram should be on this list over young and Edwards
Brandon Ingram should be on this list, not Trae Young and Edwards
Ja & Trae over Tatum? JT is an elite two way player & those two aren’t. All 3 can score, but the gap defensively is big.
Jia and Trae Young over Tatum? Tatum is a good player with both offense and defense, and these two are not. All three can score, but the gap is wide defensively.
Zion is better than everybody on this list and next year will prove it
Zion is better than every player on this list and next year will prove it
What a crazy take. KP just trying to get Tatum to play angry. Reverse psychology at its finest.
What a crazy idea. Perkins just wanted to provoke Tatum. The best reverse psychology.
You forgot Darius Garland
You forgot Garland
You did right. You put Luka in there, but what about that young man in Detroit?
You're doing it right. You put Luca there, but what about the young man in Detroit?
I think Next season we all will have to Write an apology Letter to Zion Williamson and Lamelo Ball
I think next season we'll all have to write a letter of apology to Zion Williamson and Lamelo Ball
reasons why anthony edwards is better than zion:
The reason Anthony Edwards is stronger than Zion.
Ant has nearly double the amount of games played than Zion
Hanako played almost twice as many games as Zion
Trae is better than Ja there really isn’t a debate. Hawks would be a lottery team with him while Memphis would still be in playoff contention without Ja
There's really no dispute that Trae Young is better than Ja-Morant. Without him, the Hawks would be a lotto team, and without Ja Morant, Memphis would still be in the playoffs.
@KendrickPerkins top 5 under 25 & No Jordan Poole ?
@Kendrick Perkins Top 5 under 25, no Jordan Pooler?
Luka has solidified himself as a top 5 player in the nba. Tatum is fighting for a spot in the top 10. End of debate
Luca has cemented his position as one of the top five players in the NBA league. Tatum is working hard for the top 10 position. The debate is closed
Do you agree with Perkins' Top 5 Under 25 ranking? What's your ranking in mind? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments section!
