Ron Artest is still a very good player, but I'd put him somewhere in the 7-10 range at best.

Artest is 9 at best.
Hedo is underated.
Nice for James to move around twixt SG, SF, PF, PG in these different lists. Like Duncan movin' twixt C & PF for convenience sake.
tee, hee.
LOL at Paul Pierce being number 2. This list is a joke.
Versatility is a good thing Cully.
He's the only one on list that has a ring. I think this list kinda emphasizes the defense-ability, that's why Artest is overrated, and Durant is listed at number 6 and Corey Maggette at 27.
Paul Pierce is out of his prime and not even close to elite defensively.
No Way is Artest better than Durant, Granger or Butler
or Jefferson.
Perhaps, he's certainly overpaid.

Im not quite sure where PP belongs.
Artest shouldn't be listed in top 10.
Anthony should be at #2.
No opinion for other standings.
I disagree w/ you Chief.
Paul Pierce while getting up there in age, is only 2 years removed from leading his team to a championship. In that series, Pierce outplayed Kobe and defensively dominated him.
Don't try to justify the fact that he should be only at the bottom half of the list. Garnett was the centerpiece of the Celtics, not Pierce.
He might be in the tail end of his prime, but Paul Pierce is not out of his prime yet, at least he hasn't visibly shown he's out of it yet. He's only a year older than Kobe and has played in over 100 fewer games than Kobe. Pierce just turned 32. And, as mentioned he's only about 16 months removed from doing a of a defensive job on the best offensive player in the league on the biggest stage.
I don't even like Paul Pierce. I think he's a -made bag. But until he shows a steep decline in skills and athleticism, you can't say he's out of his prime just yet. Now he might not deserve to be #2 on this list, but that doesn't mean he's out of his prime.
At least not as long as Kobe is still in his prime, eh, Jam?
tee, hee.
+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
way better list than the 1st one
J-Ho is top 10 when he's on his game.
Which is not nearly often enough.
Artest is so good now that he has left the Rockets.
All of a sudden, he became a top SF in the NBA.
Whoever made this list didn't watch the playoffs last yearRon Artest was one of the main reasons the Lakers advanced past the 2nd round. No way in is he top 5 status as far as the 3 spot goes. Not even top 10.
Yeah this list blows. And isn't Andre Iguodala a SF?
1. LeBron
2. Melo
3. Pierce
4. Granger
5. Durant
6. Iguodala
7. Butler
8. Jefferson
9. Wallace
10. Artest
