All-Star Panel Picks Kobe Bryant No. 1 Over LeBron James

[Allanon]

TD is nowhere near top five today, top 15 sure, but top 5 in the current NBA? seriously?

Duncan is still top 5 in my opinion.
19 points on 54%
11 rebounds #5 in NBA
2 blocks #5 in NBA

Melo's having a way better season than Dwade, but since wade has won 1 ring, he's up there in top 3?

Yes, I'd agree Melo has been better than DWade this year and Dirk should be higher.

this poll is biased on the number of rings each person has won.

I'd still take Wade over melo for my team ANY day. I think that's kinda what they're voting on. Also, other then CP3, who can you seriously say with a straight face should definitely be higher then Duncan?

Dirk has more impact on the game tbh.

He can rebound, block, steal, way better than chris paul, and can take over a game when needed, even if his teammates are sucking.

When chris paul's teammates are sucking, he lacks the ability to take over the game, and his nifty assist don't mean squat if his teammates aren't shooting the ball well. He lacks the size to impose his will on the game, and that is why the hornets loss to the nuggets 121-63

Dirk can steal better than Chris Paul? News to me.

The stats don't lie. I've given you evidence, you tell me what should be instead of what is.

it's just facts that CP3 ain't gonna lead any team to victory the way dirk has. Dirk hasn't had a sidekick since nash left and he's brought his team to several 50+ wins.

CP3 doesn't have the maturity or mindset to lead a team to a winning mentality, that's a thing that can't be recorded via stats.

1. Kobe
2. Lebron
3. Wade
4. Dirk
5. CP3
6. Melo
7. Duncan
8. Dwight
9. KG
10 Fun lovin Nash

Didnt really have to think about it. Even though I think Kobe and Lebron are about the same. Kobe is a better shooter and Lebron is a better passer.

Advanced stats have revolutionized baseball, but transferring them to basketball is tricky. You can use them to add context to what you watch with your own eyes, but it's hard to isolate one player's effect on a game solely through stats. In baseball, it's a solitary activity between pitcher and batter, but so many things in basketball depend on who else is on the court, etc.

CP3 is a top five player as far as regular season statistics, a top 25 player as far as actual impact on games, and a top 50 player in April/May.

Dirk s the bed for one series (GS) and we get message board re s saying like... Melo is better (Melo has a case this year, but never before in his career), Manu is better, Pierce is better, Gasol is better... wouldn't trade Scola for Dirk, etchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

We get Stephen A Smith saying he's a star, not a superstar
We get Jamaal Mashburn saying Jason Terry is the best player on the team.

We get mavsfan1000 saying J-Ho is a more complete player

CP3 s the bed for TWO playoff series and is still considered the best PG in the league and a top 5 player?

Racism if you ask me ... or people rootin for the "little guy" while the unorthodox German 7 footer gets blasted.

[ChrisRichards]

List is just full of failures. Shaq better than Gasol, Amare and Bosh?


I imagine these panelists are no different than your average fan. They dont watch every freaking game to make a fair assessment. I mean seriously? Travis Best? Who the is thi guy?



Kobe is NOT better than Lebron and Wade, not anymore. Wade and Lebron have overtaken Lebron since 2005-2006 season.

Right now the list should be


1. Lebron
2. Wade
3. Chris Paul
4. Melo
5. Dwight
6. Dirk
7.Duncan
8.Kobe
9. Brandon Roy
10. Bosh
