KG was in my top 5 last year in Minnesota...i dont let team success cloud my judgement on individual players.

1.Lebron James
2.Kobe Bryant
3.Tim Duncan
4.Kevin Garnett
5. Chris Paul

Paul is only at the bottom cause it was his first year as a superstar...its arguable he had a better season than anyone.

I would move him back in. His defensive presence and the way he completely changed the culture of the Celtics offsets any "unclutch" performances he had in the Finals.

1. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
3. Tim Duncan
4. Chris Paul
5. Kevin Garnett

He has never been out of my top 5.
1. Kobe
2. Lebron
3. Garnett
4. Duncan
5. Paul
There really isn't any reason for saying Duncan is better than Garnett right now. Garnett's biggest criticism was that he was unable to win a ring. That's why everyone rated him lower than he should be rated. KG has his ring now.

KG is borderline top 5 IMO. Right now I have him 6th with my top 5 being Bryant, James, Duncan, Paul, Howard.

In alphabetical order:

Kobe Bryant
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Chris Paul

I think very shortly, Howard will take either Garnett or Duncan's spot, and a healthy Wade will be back in the top 5 as he was in 05-06 and 06-07 before he got hurt.

Dwight doesnt warrant being ahead of Garnett...he got a bit exposed against Detroit when they threw double teams at different angles..he was lost, turnover prone and only scored 15pts a game that series. Garnett dominated Rasheed against Detroit, and Garnett is a much better overall defender..

How can Kobe be above KG after Kobe disappeared when KG shut down Gasol and Odom AND destroyed the Lakers on the other end for the last couple of games? If they had traded places, then people would be saying that KG isn't top 15... that's how much some of realgm hates KG.
