1. Kobe
2. Lebron
3. Duncan
4. Nash
5. Wade
6. Dirk (this years playoffs left a sour taste in my mouth)
Kobe is a better defensive player although he used to be better. And Lebron coasted for half the season. Kobe never coasts. I think Lebron can be better than Kobe soon though if he continues the brilliance he showed last night. Duncan is the best winner but I wouldn't put him ahead of the other two in terms of talent/skills. It's just that dominant big men can control a game during the playoffs much easier than wing guys. Unless you're Lebron going bananas. The upper tier is reserved for the Michael Jordan's of the world and it's a small list. But think of how many championships besides Michael were won without a dominant big man? Shaq check. Hakeem check. Duncan check. Jabbar check.
And everyone knows how much I hate Kobe. I don't let personal feelings get in the way of the brain.

Shaq is the best center, because all the other centers are sucky. Duncan, by far the best PF, Kobe is a no brainier. Wade was though, but he has a ring. Nash, well he is the best PG. Thats all he will be, unless he wins something, but it seems like Duncan is taking everyones rings.

David Stern is now the happiest man in the world.
From a Pistonzzzzzzz Spurzzzzz finalzzzzzzzzz to having the most appealing, well-known player in the league playing.

Ive said it once and ill say it again: without pippen Jordan's only ring will be his wedding ring. |

| Originally posted by Porky spurs in 6. their team is too complete. whereas the cavs have the best player but too many role players who do not perform their roles regularly. |
Spurzzz in 5 at the most. I was thinking sweep originally but I think Lebron can muster one dominant game. I hope I'm wrong too but that's very wishful thinking.
Go away Spurzzz please! 4 championships will be enough!

I got what I needed:
LEBRON > JORDAN!
did MJ get to finals at 22?
didn't think so!

Well, lets wait and see how many championships Lebron wins before we call him the next Jordan. You guys should stop and think the words before you make any comparisons.
# my top current 5 (in order, starting with the best):
* tim duncan
(he has 3 rings(4 in a couple of weeks). the "laker" dynasty with o'neal and kobe has 3, so no doubt he should be one of the best. although he struggles at the line sometimes, but his strengths cover up his weaknesses. he is a pure winner. doesn't need to show the flashy stats, but he can motivate his team to win, and that's all that counts.)
(he's proved a good number of times during the detroit series that when the chips are at stake, he will step up.)
(because of bron's game 5 and game 6 performances, bron is now 2nd in my book, and kobe is 3rd. bron showed he can win the game with and without the ball in his hands. kobe only has proved he can win games with the ball in his hands)
(dallas' early exit this year, and how they lost in the finals last year really has me questioned about his leadership skills)
(yeah they couldn't make it past the first round this year, but as much as i regret saying he has 1 finals ring(tainted), i guess i should acknowledge the fact he does have one. he plays smart, ferocious defense for a point guard, has really improved his shooting range (came out of marquette with questionable range), and shows good leadership skills.)
(yup Juice. I am going to jump on their bandwagon. i don't think this will be the year, but next year 2008, they will make a strong push for the finals. Roy - Jack - Aldrirdge - Oden(possibly??) - maybe Randolph, seeing if he stays, as their starting lineup, with an up and coming player Sergio Rodriguez and Juan Dixon in the bench, this is a pretty good team. hopefully portland can take advantage of the free agency market this year or next year, and maybe trade Randolph for some good value, and they're set.)
(as long as they can keep this lineup + get a solid shooting guard with range, they have a good chance)
(laugh at this, but I have a strong feeling maybe this year, or 2009 they will make a huge impact, and a strong push in the Eastern Conference playoffs)
On a related note, I just watched the top ten plays (NBA Video Vault) from each of Jordan's last three championships.
That man worked his but off for those rings.
oh boy is this frightening news. i knew a big letdown like this was going to happen for Kevin Durant.
story here
face it. i said it in the beginning when college basketball season ended, and i am going to say it again. kevin durant is too small for the nba, and will be manhandled by "the big boys". shockingly enough it was the Seattle Times that reported this, being that Seattle is a strong contender to draft Durant.
seattle can invest in raw talent like Durant, and it will take him 2 to 3 years to get into "NBA" form (strength+speed+shooting). the other option is to go for a big body, such as Horford .
