Tim Duncan.....he'll have 5 or 6 rings in a couple of years too

KG is 1a but I always thought Duncan was a little better than him.

Shaq - just can't do it everynight anymore but he still is the best in a 1 game situation

Kobe - I agree hes the best perimeter player

Tmac - Kobe is a little better than him

Steve Nash - haha

AI - hes certainly having a crazy season so far. Shooting like 45% from the floor too.

Lebron - give him 3 or 4 years and he will be the MVP every year

Wade - Lebron is just better than him

Miami without Shaq- still a playoff team probably

Probably cuz they're in a weak division, but they were really struggling without him for the month or so he was out. If he could stay healthy he would be the one hands down, but health should definitely be taken into consideration.

Dwayne Wade- cant be in this conversation yet

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? Maybe I'm biased, but he has as much raw talent and potential as anyone in the league. I think he still has some growing up to do, but when motivated he can take the game into his hands as well as anyone other player. Overshadowed by LeBron & Carmelo in the draft, Wade's proved more than enough to me.

Re: The Best Player in the NBA is . . .
 

I'd take Shaq over everybody on this list...

He's gotten lazy, but I still think he can still turn "it" on when/if he wants to.

After Shaq, I like Duncan, Nash, Bron-Bron, in no particular order

Re: The Best Player in the NBA is . . .
 

Duncan
Shaq
KG
Lebron
Amare

Re: The Best Player in the NBA is . . .
 

Duncan is clearly the best player in the NBA. He's got a post-up game, consistently puts up great numbers, stays healthy (unlike Shaq) and wins titles.

AI is the best perimeter player IMO. Just look at the numbers. 33 ppg, over 8 apg, and 2 spg shooting 45% from the field. He's unguardable one-on-one and will take and make big shots down the stretch. Kobe is a close 2nd, but his playmaking ability is nowhere near Iverson's and that's why he's #2.

No. Wade is nice, but James has top 4 all-time NBA potential.
