TOP FIVE PLAYERS AT EACH POSITION

The NBA has moved almost completely to a positionless league where you just try to get your best five on the floor. Hell, the Rockets were playing a 6’5″ center last year and the Lakers had a 6’9″ point guard. Here is a fun ranking, not too serious, of how I have the best players ranked at each position, including those that play multiple spots.
