LeBron?

Here's how I'd rank the top 5 NBA Playaz:
LeBron
Duncan
KG
The Diggler
Shaq

I'm refusing to put Wade on here because I'm in the minority that his rep and his stats are getting help big time from Shaq's presence. Also, if for some reason your uniform looks exactly like the uniform of the German National Team, Dirk goes up to #2.

Edit: Amare ('04-'05 version) would have ranked #4 ahead of Dirk, but since no one knows how his surgery is going to turn out...

Tough choice, but I go with Garnett. I know Duncan is great but he's also had some great help along the way. Garnett has yet to have a good player beside him. If you pick him and can actually build around him I think he is the better choice.

A few years ago, Cassell, Spree, and Wally were a pretty good supporting cast.

Having someone who plays absolutely no defense whatsoever as #4 on your list clearly reduces the value of your opinion. I don't think Dirk cracks the top 15, let alone the top 5.

Agree to disagree. You must be a bitter Clippers or Raptors fan whose never experienced a winning team. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

And he seems to do ok in Euro Championships, unless you never bothered watching them (part-time NBA fan alert!). I have no idea why people say he plays NO defense... just because he's no Ben Wallace on D, how the hell does he average 10 rpg, 1.5 bpg, and 1 spg???? lol!

Most of the time, he's by far the tallest Maverick on the court, so many rebounds will go to him by default. Averaging 1.5 bpg is no great defensive feat - that's not even top-25 in the NBA; and on a per 48 min basis, he falls even further - behind such defensive stalwarts as Robert Horry and Donyell Marshall. His steals are nothing either - he's behind Peja and Vince Carter (hardly the most challenging defenders in the NBA)

edit: as for the original question - I'm a T-Wolves fan, I love KG, and there's no way I take him over Duncan unless it's on my fantasy team.
