[TheOGJabroni]

I wish I would have looked at the time stamp on the beginning of the thread..........

Same here...I was going to rant about Brandon Roy not being on anyone's list...>_>

haha yup I wish I had looked as well but it doesn't matter, that is an awful list at any point in time.

[CB-Blazer]

1.Kobe Bryant
2.Lebron James
3.Chris Paul
4.Dwyane Wade
5.Dwight Howard

I love it.

What I also love is how about 98% of the 2008 members here considered Kobe Bryant the best basketball player period, yet todays naysayers keep insisting he hasn't been the best since 2006, if not any year at all. Haha.

This.

[Wade2k6]

best pg - paul
best sg - kobe
best sf - lebron
best pf - bosh
best c - howard

there you go... these are top five than next five are

deron, wade, parker, melo, duncan

Bosh better then Wade??

I think LeBron, Kobe, and Wade are in the first tier in this league.

[ugkfan2681]

can people stop having kobe at the number one spot wade and lebron are clearly better than him at this point

Yea I was thinking the same thing..

He said Bosh as best PF, even then that is false, as Duncan and Garnett still have the edge.

No, he said "there you go, there are the top 5"

He goes on to list Deron and Parker as 2 of his next 5 so I don't think he put these by positions.

Wow... that original list is quite interesting... anyway, here's mine:

#1 Kobe Bryant
#2 Lebron James
#3 Dwayne Wade
#4 Dwight Howard
#5 Chris Paul
#6 Tim Duncan
#7 Kevin Garnett
#8 Dirk Nowitzki
#9 Carmelo Anthony
#10 Yao Ming
#11 Deron Williams
#12 Brandon Roy
#13 Chris Bosh
#14 Pau Gasol
#15 Paul Pierce
#16 Amare Stoudemire
#17 Tony Parker
#18 Kevin Durant
#19 Al Jefferson
#20 Joe Johnson

HM: Chauncey Billups, Danny Granger, Andre Iguodala, Vince Carter, Gilbert Arenas, Devin Harris

[TAI8]

Gilbert Arenas should be in the top 20...He's back to his former self which is a perennial All-Star/All-NBA talent..

[LebronsCavs]

LOL

Do you really have to continue to bump year old threads where Wade gets "disrespected."

[Dupp]

i didnt realize it was an old thread that had been bumped, so i was pretty amazed with some of the lists. in saying that it is still pretty shocking...

[BadWolf]

the way Melo and Pierce are playing atm...
