7. Dwight Howard
8. Deron Williams

4. Dwyane Wade
5. Kevin Garnett
6. Tim Duncan
7. Amare Stoudamire
8. Tracy McGrady

[Don Draper]

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.

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.

I am ranking by impact

I forgot Howard I would stick him at 8 in front of Williams

I think Kevin Martin will put up very good numbers

Yes KG is number 1

Amare defense is not that bad. He's average. Do your research. a) Dantoni was an idiot. Amare was instructed not to be aggresive on defense so he wouldn't give up fouls because he is so vital to their offense. b) The Suns perimeter defenders are as bad or worse than the Nuggets perimeter defenders. It hard to be effective when the opposing guards are attacking the rim at will. More importantly he will be beast next year on the offensive end.

Dirk defense is waaaaaaay worse than Amare's. Kobe should have been MVP instead of Dirk (and I'm not a Kobe fan).

Crack cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Unless Amare significantly improves on the defensive end, I see no sane reason to think that he is a better player than Garnett.

What kind of money do you wanna put on Dwight outplaying Garnett this season?

[bballcool34]

^^ I'd put money on Dwight having a better season than Duncan as well: doesn't mean he's the player I'd rather have next season.

Your absolutely insane if you think that. Dallas is nothing without Dirk, can't say the same for the Suns as we've seen what they can do without Amare.

Yeah, but is Dirk their defensive anchor?

Anybody who thinks that Amare is light years better at defense than anybody is out of their mind.

Amare lets his man get where ever he wants.

I could back down amare and im 10 inches shorter and 60 lbs lighter.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dirk's defense isn't nearly as bad as many think..he's improved enough that I can safely call him an average defender..

Amare on the other hand.....
