STRAIGHT SHOOTING
From this corner of the basketball world, these are currently the 10 best players in the league:
1. KOBE BRYANT has been nothing short of phenomenal. His routine game-winning heroics have even surpassed the sky-high standards he has previously established. No contest for the top spot.
2. LEBRON JAMES is having another fantastic season. His immense skills have even been enhanced by the noticeable improvements in both his perimeter shooting and his team defense. But Kobe consistently plays better defense, is still a superior shooter and is a full-time miracle worker.
3. DWYANE WADE’s shoulders must be sore from carrying the load of Miami’s otherwise abysmal offense. If only he had a reliable jumper he could easily break through the glass ceiling.
4. CARMELO ANTHONY commands the widest variety of offensive skills in the league. He’s equally dangerous in the low post, on the wing, up top, on the run and along the baseline. Defense and consistency are his only drawbacks.
5. PAUL PIERCE’s numbers are down, yet he remains the Celtics’ best two-way player and their most dependable go-to scorer. PP could be the most underrated superstar extant.
6. STEVE NASH is once again free to run, gun, stun and have fun. The Suns' retro game plan has reinvigorated the soon-to-be 36-year-old Nash to where he’s dancing and delivering as well as he did during his MVP seasons.
7. PAU GASOL’s intelligence and versatility transform the Lakers from being a very good team to being a great team. He is easily the most skilled of the NBA’s big men.
8. TIM DUNCAN’s skills are somewhat diminished yet he remains the centerpiece of a Spurs team that won’t approach its peak effectiveness until the playoffs are nigh.
9. DWIGHT HOWARD is a ferocious rebounder and omnipresent shot-blocker. But his inept free-throw shooting and his still-crude offense make him more of a Duper-man than a Superman.
10. KEVIN DURANT plays no defense but is an increasingly dynamic scorer.
Next time, the second 10 best.
The 6-foot-8 Rosen played college basketball at Hunter College in New York City for three seasons (1959-1962), setting school records for both scoring and rebounding, and earning most valuable player honors each season. After college, he played for Scranton and Camden in the old Eastern Basketball League.
Rosen was an assistant to Phil Jackson with the Albany Patroons of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). Formed in 1946 the CBA is the oldest professional North American basketball league still in operation today. He also served as head coach of the Patroons, as well as the CBA's Rockford Lightning, Oklahoma City Cavalry and Savannah Spirits (Ga.).

/thread.
Kobe and Lebron are the top two on that list, but Tim should be at least third.
look at wade, his done all season and his 3rd......
Lebron should be #1
Kobe #2
Duncan should be somewhat higher on the list. 4th or 5th
IMHO Dirk should be in a top 10 list too.
My list: Kobe Duncan Lebron (yes I put Duncan second his per 36 minutes stat are huge and he is keeping alive a team that was a mess most part of the season)
No Dirk, no CP3, but Pierce is above them????
this list fails. no dirk or paul? duncan at 8? howard at 9?
He got the top two right...and that's it.
I guess Chris Paul's 21 and 10 just simply isn't good enough to even make 5-10! ... yet 2 years ago nearly the same numbers he is putting up right now was good enough for him to finish 2nd in MVP voting. stupid list.
Rosen is a dumbass..................... Pau above Tim? Steve Nash?............no CP3, Brandon Roy? WTF??? Paul Pierce on the list?
Who else KNEW that a certain Laker player would be #1 on this list when you saw this was posted by 'namlook' ?
I'm honestly surprised he has LeBron as high as #2. Rosen has been busting LeBron's nuts seemingly out of spite since before he was drafted.
This list fails.
He's a fat old white guy who never played a sport in his life, what do you expect?
How is Dirk not even in the top 10?
lol @ Pau being higher then Duncan... that's when I completely disregarded everything this article stood for
LOL I thought that Kobe was going to be the first 5 and LeBron was going to be the second 5.
Maui wowie!
There's bias, and then there's stupidity.
Dirk should be 3rd, or 4th at worst behind Wade.
If he was on the Lakers he'd be #2.
The first two are interchangeable and the rest is garbage. I don't know how you can put Pau, as much as he is admired by me, before the likes of Duncan and Durant. The guy gets a strained hamstring (twice) and is K'Od. To me, that hasn't allowed Gasol to so valued. Don't get me wrong--he is vital to our team's longterm success. I just don't know if he can be place before some of those closer to No. 10.
sons this post sums it up. period.He's a fat old white guy who never played a sport in his life, what do you expect?
