Bynum?

Anyway, the best imo are:
Perimeter: Kobe, TMac, Allen, Pierce (in that order)
Interior: KG, Duncan, Kaman

Agreed on your list though.
Let me ask you something, what would your list be for all time Jordan23Forever? I don't know much about the guys before 84. I know Jordan is way up there. I know Hakeem is way up there. Who else?
KAJ has to be up there. Possibly the best footwork ever. Bird too.

All-time, the guys with the best footwork I've seen were Jordan, Bird (believe it), and Hakeem. I'd also throw Adrian Dantley in there. Lots of guys in the 80's/90's had good footwork (it was much more a point of emphasis due in their collegiate programs), but those were the best I've seen.
Jordan gets a lot of points from me because he invented/popularized many footwork moves. It was just so instinctual with him, and he had the fundamental base to make it work.

I love watching Al Jefferson on the block. My list is something like:
1. Kobe - No question. His pivoting on the block and perimeter is just awesome. Add onto that near perfect defensive positioning, lateral movement.
2. Melo/Pierce - Both are great anywhere on the floor with their pivoting, spin moves.
3. Al Jefferson - Controversial!!!! Not really, Jefferson is awesome.
4. Duncan - Defense. 'Nuff said.
5. Ginobili - I stand by this pick. Ginobili's footwork is inhumane. He's a worm.
