[Tommy Trojan]

WOW Nicka you got that list ready to go

[That Nicka]

You have Kirilenko, Jamison, and Bynum too high imo.... And KG is not better than Duncan.....

[Gus McCrae]

I think Ray Allen is too high also. along with Turkoglu over Josh Smith, Iguadala or Gerald Wallace.

[Mr. Savage]

1. Nash
2. Kidd
3. Deron
4. Paul
5. Calderon

1. Kobe
2. Roy
3. Iverson
4. Wade
5. McGrady

1. James
2. Jefferson
3. Josh Howard
4. Hedo
5. Carmelo

1. Dirk
2. Garnett
3. Gasol
4. Boozer
5. Bosh

1. Duncan
2. Yao
3. Howard
4. Al Jefferson
5. Camby



Note:
I value players that can run the offense higher than players who can't. Therefore I rate Hedo for example higher than Carmelo, because at this point Carmelo is not a playmaker but just an one-dimensional scorer that doesn't bring anything else to the table.

[lakeshow248]

I think Jamison deserves at least this yrs to be in there he is avg 20 and 10 so, he gets my vote.... As far as Elton Brand I think he would be number 4 in the PF rankings as well, I just forgot....

As for Turkolou I think he is having a great year and has become the second opt in Orlando w/ 19.3 ppg, 6 reb, 4.2 ast and 37.5 3pt % normally he wouldn't make it but again I think he deserves a top 10 look....

I also think that KG is better than TD but not by much, I just like KG's running and outside game a little more, not to mention his D has been the big reason for the Celtics reemergence.

As for Ray Allen I think you could be right he is a little older and maybe deserves a little lower ranking just like J Kidd but non the less still top 10.

AK47 I just like his game in general w/ his stls, rebs and I think on a different team he would be at least a 15 ppg player w/ 7 reb, 5 ast, 2stls and 3 blks.

With Bynum it is a bit of a homer call to have him that high but I really liked the game vs. Kahman and I just think he is a ton more offensive game than M Camby and Ty Chandler. I guess it might be premature to put him that high but w/ more time it won't be.

I was surprised that my list was pretty close to THAT NICKA conisdering I just did it from the fantsey depth charts on NBA.com in like half an hrs based on my knowledge of each player. Just wondering about your rankings NICKA are they personal or from a magazine or possible game hence the 2k8....

[That Nicka]

Just wondering about your rankings NICKA are they personal or from a magazine or possible game hence the 2k8....

They are my personal rankings... I edit my own ratings on NBA2K8 on how I feel players rank in accordance to their performance... I usually make changes about once a week and try to be as unbiased as possible.. I take into account: all the major statistical categories, including field goal, free throw and 3 point percentages as well as team record....

[Dexmor]

I think all of them are wrong. The SG's is way off. JJ should be way higher.

Centers

Howard
Ming
Bynum
Jefferson
Kaman
Amare
Camby
Chandler
Wallace
Bogut

[Dexmor]

PF's

1ADuncan
1BKG
Bosh
Brand
Boozer
Dirk
Smith- Him and Williams rotate on pf but I think he is a pf.
Jamison
West
Gasol


SF's

Lebron
Melo- I don't know how somebody has Melo 5th.
RJ
Butler
Pierce
Iggy
Artest
Howard
Deng-next year will be higher top 3 potential
Prince- no stats to prove he belongs he does and he never misses games.

[Dexmor]

SG's

1.Kobe-Best player ever

2.Wade

3.Iverson- I am listing him as a 2 because as a pg he is so hard to rate.

4.Joe Johnson- Has a ton of talent all around him but still he is a guard version of what Odom should be. Can do it all.

5.Carter

6.Tmac-should be way higher but I look at health

7.Roy

8.Manu- His defense is very underrated and Kobe said he is the hardest player to play against.

9.Redd

10.Martin

[Dexmor]

PG's The Hardest to rate by far

1.Chris Paul-Finally somebody who is rated better then Kidd who actually is unlike Nash

2.Jason Kidd- Best passer, can score and 8.7 rebounds a game. Come on how can anybody not have him in the top 3? He should be a Laker and I pray literally he is soon.

3.Baron Davis- I have Davis here because Nash imo will never bring a team over the top even with all that talent he has on his team

4.Steve Nash- Surpasses Stockton imo even though Stockton played D
but is still a lil overrated because he is talked about as possibly the best player in the league.

5.Gilbert Arenas-I personally would trade him or better yet realize he is a 2 and at 6'3 6'4 not really undersized but is still so good he is this high.

6.Deron Williams- His size will make him a hall of famer along with the skills of course..

7.Billups

8.Parker

9.Devin Harris-This boy is getting better. He has become a top defender and has great size and speed.

10.Jordan Farmar- Homerism at it's best. This is a half joke.

[LLcoleJ]

Do you know what the word "My" means, Star?

[Dexmor]

Do you know what the word "the" means Phil?

[Slava]

[LLcoleJ]

Do you know what the word "the" means Phil?

As a matter of fact I do. Please explain to me "the" relevance?


Also, when someone says.. these are MY rankings they cant be wrong. Because it is their opinion. So you cant make such statements that they are wrong.
