Duncan
Lebron James
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
I personally say Lebron James. He's take a 17 win team to 50 wins and the second round of the playoffs in three years-all by himself. He's the second best offensive player in the league, and an even better passer.
Love Wade, Like LeBron, dislike Kobe.
But that has nothing to do with the question.
The correct answer is 'none of the above'.
Lets try along the lines of KG, Duncan, Dirk, before this is a lagit conversation.
Of the 3, right now, I would be hard pressed to pick between LeBron and D-Wade. Kobe is a talent, but he shoots too much and his ego is too big for him to be able to win.
Right now, Kobe Bryant is the best individual talent in the NBA. In a few years, though, when Lebron's improved his defense...
Seeing everything that Lebron has done at the age of 21, I think he has the potential to be a top 3 player of all time, and maybe even #1.
And btw, I was considering putting Duncan here, but then I realized that this was a spurs forum so that wouldn't be a good idea...
If you woulda put Dirk on the poll, you would've recieved death threats.
Most consider Kobe to be better than Lebron, but you can't deny that Lebron is getting close. And don't forget that Kobe is 7 years older. Lebron will most likely become the face of the league within the next two years.
why is Wade even on the list? He has Shaq and wouldnt be the same without him on a long term basis![]()
Mad 'Melo isn't up there?![]()
Of the ones listed I would go with Kobe first, Wade second, and Lebron third. Duncan and Dirk are better than the ones listed though.
Lebron James will be the best player in the history of the NBA![]()
I didn't see brad miller on the list so I went with kobe....![]()
Good to see most did as well..............
There is no doubt................... THUS FAR!!!!
nope, Melo showed this summer than he can ball with the best of them![]()
and he doesnt need the refs to bail him like Wade or Lebron![]()
I find Kobe Bryant a completely disingenuous person. I think he's a fraud, a phony etc.
Cares more about his marketability than actually winning.
That being said...he's definately the best player in the world. No offense to D.Wade (who comes across as humble) or LeBron (who is easy to root for), but they can't hold a candle to Kobe.
If you put KG in there, you would have gotten the familiar response of "He's never won anything" or "He's not clutch".
Both are BS statements due to the lack of talent around him. Then when he had that supporting cast in 2004, the so called know it alls didn't have a leg to stand on.
I hate it that guys like KG, AI & Kobe get a pass, because they don't have talent around them. That's a crock because those "talentless" players wouldn't be in the NBA if they didn't have talent, at least at some point in their career. I think it's a motivation issue, a coaching issue, and/or a team chemistry issue. Two of which can be directly attributed to the franchise player, imo.
If the question was "who would you want on your team?", my answer would be LeBron.
You play to win the game. Since Wade just got done carrying his team to a championship he's got to get the nod, for now.
Kobe of course...are people that dense...Kobe plays defense and offense unlike the rest of those players...And to the person who thinks Dirk is better than #24 is a Knob. 1 decent season from Dirk and he's considered the best....surely you're eating homer o's again. Now, I love Dirk, and I argue about Wade with my boys as well. Lebron will slow down, mark my words. All they have to do is call travelling 2/5 times down the court and his numbers will go down.
Shaq is the best every year. he brings every team he's been on, to the championship level. who else can say that?
Kobe seems to be the favorite for now, but I think that Lebron's going to be quite a bit better in a few years.
