Most of these are pretty one-sided.
Bosh v. Deron Williams is interesting, Big v. Small, but I agree that Utah's team success gives Deron the edge here.
Chris Paul v. Yao Ming is even tougher since Yao is a true center, the hardest thing to find. Paul has been amazing though and gets my vote.
Dirk v. Steve Nash is the last of the Big v. Small looks and I think Nash is more valuable now; but . . . Dirk is younger and has more future value so I'd agree with the Dirk supporters.
I didn't see Dwight Howard v. Carmelo Anthony as close at all but apparently kandiking disagrees and favores Anthony. I don't, Howard is clearly the better player for his defense and size.

Right now it is Nowitski 5, Nash 3 . . . that's the only close race; if it doesn't tighten up, I will call this round tomorrow.

Tim Duncan - greatest PF of all time
Deron Williams - sorry Bosh, you're my favourite player, but Deron is slightly better, and doesn't have the knee problems
Kobe Bryant - better player with fewer injury problems, no contest
Kevin Garnett - transformed Boston, and despite being older, probably has just as many games left in him as Wade. Wade is great when healthy, but I see him being constantly plagued by injuries, and ending up as one of the big "what ifs" of basketball
LeBron James - I will take LeBron over anyone
Chris Paul - I will take Paul over anyone but LeBron and maybe Dwight
Dwight Howard - dominant center or slightly selfish scorer? Hmmm . . .
Steve Nash - VERY close, more or less splitting hairs, but Nash is a Canadian, so he gets my vote

Nowitski 6, Nash 5 . . . tightening up

Deron Williams
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade- I'm absolutely shocked people are choosing KG. 5.5 year difference is just too large for me to ignore. I think Wade's injury worries are overblown at this point
LeBron James
Chris Paul
Dwight Howard
Dirk Nowitzki- I don't really like Dirk, but he's a comparable player who's younger.
