Don't really have a favorite in every position, but if I had to choose one for every position, it would probably look like the following:

C: Dwight Howard
PF: Gerald Wallace
SF: Kevin Durant
SG: Brandon Roy
PG: Jameer Nelson

I also like Pierce and Carter.

LeBron and Howard are shoo-ins. LeBron has a bit of a douchy streak that seems to strike some people, but I think part of that comes from his running a Jordan/Kobe style business without quite as much intelligence (or douchiness...) as either of those two. Still, NO ONE has ever been able to do what he does on the court.

That leaves PG, SG, and PF.
PG: Nash is Canadian and looks like a turtle.
SG: Crash rocks it.
PF: The one, the only, SCOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Honorary:
Duncan - somehow worked his way into second, mainly cause he's pretty good and one funny loon.
Mr. Battier - of course
Grant Hill - it's hard to not root for the guy (unless maybe if you're in Orlando or Detroit)
Marc Gasol - Wen-di-go!
Brook Lopez - "Hey, let's go put on some flip flops and hawaiian shorts and toilet paper Hillary Duff's house again!"

imo, he was pretty good for us all year, but especially after we got Kevin Martin and were able to utilize him properly. His stats for Feb and April were pretty much in line with what I'd like to see from him (and March wasn't far off). He kinda drowned in a very poor shooting December and January, as far as how his stats on the season looked. Did what was asked at all times, and most importantly, wasn't Artest.
