During halftime of Sunday's Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic game, Charles Barkley announced his list of the Top 5 players in the NBA today, which includes LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.
As is the case with any Top 5 players list, Barkley was questioned over his selections - so much so that he threatened to smack co-host Kenny Smith.
“If I don’t slap the hell out of you on national television — it’s my list. It’s my list!”

With the exception of LeBron, the other four players who earned Barkley's blessing are well on their way to advancing to the second-round of the NBA playoffs. James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo can both lead their teams to first-round sweeps tonight, as the Milwaukee Bucks look to close out their series in Detroit, while the Rockets can eliminate the Jazz with a W in Utah.
Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard's Toronto Raptors and Kevin Durant's Golden State Warriors were both victorious on Sunday, and are now up 3-1 heading back to their home floors. The Raptors will host the Orlando Magic in Game 5 on Tuesday night, while the Warriors will have to wait until Thursday to dispose of the Clippers.
