I would personally place LeBron ahead of Kobe but after that your list pretty much mirrors mine. I think Wade will really remind people how good he is, and establish himself alongside Kobe and LeBron.

1. KG
2. Kobe
3. Lebron
4. Paul
5. Amare
6. Wade
7. Yao
8. Deron Williams
9. Duncan
10. Bosh

11. Dirk, 12. Arenas, 13. Pierce, 14. T-Mac, 15. Kevin Martin

KGs defense cannot be overrated. Amare will continue to be a beast. Wade is back but I hate he has no big man. Teams will win think 3 times before doubling Yao. Ducan is slipping. Dirk can't defend. Pierce is obviously the best player in the NBA and Kevin Martin should put up numbers.

They got the whole top ten list and still only managed to win one game in the playoffs amazing. Now that kind of failure takes real skill.

You got kevin martin in front of Howard? You got KG number one? You got Amare in the top 5 over Yao and Howard when the man doesn't even know how to spell the word defense, but you penalize Dirk for not playing enough defense when he can score at a higher clip than Amare and has proven he can carry a team when he needs too. He also has a MVP yet you penalize him for defense and give Amare props cause he can score alot? Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

BAHAHAHAHAHA. Did you forget where Pierce led the Celtics prior to last season? An all-inclusive trip to Loserville. The number one player in the league doesn't let his team stink that badly, regardless of how weak a cast he has. (ie. Lebron, Kobe (prior to trade), and KG in minnny).

Hard to lead a team when you're injured and sitting on the bench while the team drops 18 games straight and begins to tank for a pick. What was the Cavs record without Lebron?

HarlemHeat37 · Post #19 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 5:15 pm

wow..Amare Stoudemire is extremely overrated..the guy is a terrible leader..one of the worst defenders in NBA history..still immature on the court and makes terrible decisions..come on..

LOL @ obinna's list..Kevin Martin LOL..

1-Kobe Bryant
1-Lebron James

I'm expecting Lebron to claim the throne, as do a lot of people..but you can't ignore Kobe coming off an MVP season..he choked in the finals, but that should be expected by now..regardless, he's the current MVP, his team is still the favorite in the West..

3-Dwyane Wade

health is the key here, and it looks like he's healthy..

4-Tim Duncan
4-Kevin Garnett

there's an argument for both players..always tough to pick..

6-Chris Paul
7-Dwight Howard
8-Yao Ming

Yao is definitely last out of the 3 due to his injury problems..Paul gets the edge for the season he just had..but I'm expecting Dwight to do big things this year..

9-Dirk Nowitzki
10-Deron Williams
11-Chris Bosh
11-Amare Stoudemire
13-Elton Brand
14-Paul Pierce

I feel like you can make an argument for any of these guys at #9 or at #14..

15-Tracy McGrady
