This is pretty easy. T-mac or Iverson. They are a step above the rest.

Tmac, he's just better.

probuly Iverson

McGrady has winning and injury promblems.

I don't know if Gino's act will be effective if he's the number 1,2, and 3 option on a team like I may need.

Carter has given up before and probuly would again.

I doubt how much of Melo's game translates into a team

And Pierce just isn't talented enough.


Iverson because he's the only guy who can score enough to be that selfish and I know he's not going to get injured as well as he's taken a team to the Finals [if only once]

Ginobili. The guy is flat out amazing and has been crucial to SA's last 2 championships. While he's no Kobe Bryant, I could see him being a go to option on offense on almost any team in the league. Manu has a very balanced game and definitely has a very strong will to win. He won't put up 30 PPG but he can step up when needed and carry a team in just about any situation.

Ha Ha Ha. Iverson is 32 years old and still having a better season that all of them. Rank players, not teams. Ginobili has been great, but he's no AI.

Manu or Pierce, easily. They can shoot, they can slash, they can hit clutch shots, they can pass. Pierce has quietly compiled a very impressive career, and Manu is Manu.

AI & Melo: turn the ball over way too much, volume scorers, lousy defense, Melo's been a poor rebounder for most of his career. Nice players, not great.

TMac: not who he once was, probably never will return to form. Definitely not a superstar anymore. Hopefully he can elevate his play.

Arenas: let's see what he's like when he comes back.

Vince: I dislike him and he's on the downswing.

One of those players is not like the others!

(That's the one I'm picking :))

That's your opinion and that's great, but to say that "Pierce has quietly compiled a very impressive career" and then follow it up by saying AI just turns the ball over too much is outrageous.

AI shouldn't even be grouped with any of these 2nd tier players except maybe T-Mac. It's cool for people to select someone else because of it.

How so? Iverson is having one of his best seasons to date and still a top 5 2 guard in the league, while Arenas is hurt and has been out. How do you come to that conclusion?

The only 2 guards that are better than AI at this present time are Kobe and possibly D-Wade. T-Mac has been making a case lately as well as Ginobili, but certainly not "better".

What's your point? AI put up 32 and 7 last year before he sat for 20 games.
