Well, I would take Duncan or KG over Rose and Bosh for sure, and probably over Carmello as well.

Paul doesn't play good enough D in my opinion. Watching the Championship, he looked lost as the Celtics beat him time and time again. He is a good offensive player but Bosh plays much better D than him. I also think Defense is more important at the PF position. That is also why I am not high on Nowitzki but then again this is all my opinion

1. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
3. Dwyane Wade
4. Kevin Durant
5. Rajon Rondo
6. Chris Paul
7. Deron Williams
8. Carmelo Anthony
9. Derek Rose
10. Steve Nash

Honorable Mentions: Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire, Paul Pierce.

This list is based on overall performance.. No bias on position, team, etc. This is based on how each players contributes to their team in every category.

Howard doesn't even get a honorable mention?
i am a Rajon Rondo fan, but he is not top 5 yet. If over the next 3-4 years he improves his shooting he has potential to be top 5.

I personally do not like Dwight Howard.. Other than blocking shots and being a presence inside, he is not a very good player. He has one post move and it barely works... He can't handle the ball at all, which most big men today can do. He has absolutely no jump shot.. he doesnt run the floor well.. He just stands around and blocks shots and gets rebounds.. He seems to me more like a highly paid big role player more than a star... Just my opinion.

Okay, Here is how everybodys top 10s add up using this point system so far.
1st place vote- 10 pts.
2nd-9pts
3rd- 8pts
4th- 7pts
etc.


The number before the player is their rank overall and the number after them is their total points.
1. Kobe Bryant (96) With a gigantic 7 first place votes!
2. LeBron James (87) With 1 first place vote
3. Dwyane Wade (73)
4. Kevin Durant (49) With 1 first place vote
5. Dwight Howard (42)
6. Chris Paul (34)
7. Carmelo Anthony (33)
8. Deron Williams (20)
9. Dirk Nowitzki (19)
10. Steve Nash (16)
11. Derrick Rose (15.5) Please decide 1 person at the 10th spot
12. Chris Bosh (12)
13. Rajon Rondo (11.5)
14. Shaq (10) 1 1st place vote (Is this a joke?)
15. Tim Duncan (5.3) 3 people at the ten spot, c'mon guys.
16. Pau Gasol (5) A little underrated if you ask me.
16. Manu Ginobli (5) A little overrated if you ask me
18. Kevin Garnett (4.3)
19. Brandon Roy (4) Way underrated on this list for sure.
20. Amare Stoudemire (2) I'd put him higher too.
21. Stephen Curry (.5)


Some of the positions were decided because of one vote so it would help ake the list more accurate for what most people think if more people could please vote.


I will not update this post, I will only update the first post.
