lvlikethefly your an idiot did you reed the details i said it is not my favorite players it is the player with the most votes so blame the anwserers

jtsports your IQ must be worst then george bushes

ndjieer you are dummber then the rest not only is this a past poll how do you have shaq in front of lebron and kobe and at least come up with your own list plagerism

Answer 1

obviously it's the shaq man. shaq should be in the top 5. kobe, arguably the most talented player on the planet.

Answer 2

1. Tim Duncan
2. Shaquille O'Neal
3. Kevin Garnett
4. LeBron James
5. Dirk Nowitzki
6. Kobe Bryant
7. Allen Iverson
8. Dwyane Wade
9. Steve Nash
10. Tracy McGrady

Answer 3

First of all, I disagree with the #1 - #9 (if number 1 represents the best player) for various reasons:
1.) Paul Pierce should not be on the list.
2.) There is no way Dwayne Wade is a better basketball player than Kobe Bryant.
3.) Centers and forwards are underranked. These are truly the individuals which make or have made such a difference in these playoffs (i.e. Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and Dirk Nowitzki.) Specifically, Allen Iverson should be lower while Duncan and Garnett should be higher.
Other than that you have a fairly representative pool of the 9 best players in the NBA. The 10th best player that should be on the list would have to be Elton Brand for regular season. Although I do not think Paul Pierce (chuckle) is as good as Brand, so Brand and Garnett should be ranked higher. For the postseason, though, the 10th best player should be Shaq for obvious reasons.

UPDATE: Well it doesn't really matter if it's you or others who voted on #1-#9. If it's not you and it's others, then I disagree with those that voted. Also, I would like to reiterate that there is no way Dwayne Wade is better than Kobe. Miami is in the playoffs, and this far, because of Shaq, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, Payton, Haslem, Posey as well as Wade and not because of Wade solely. Therefore, I think it is too naive to utilize that fact to argue that Wade is better than Kobe -- it is discrediting and reattributing the work and effort of the other Miami players.
Lastly, I do not appreciate the fact that you have called me an idiot for a simple misunderstanding. If I am an idiot, as you claim, then what would you call yourself? Not being able to handle others answers. Also, if jtsports IQ is worse than George Bush's, what's your IQ? You don't know how to spell or use proper grammar. Please do not criticize others to prevent yourself from looking like the biggest hypocrite. Respect other's answers and opinions like everyone should. I merely have an opinion and I voiced it. I am sorry if you got offended for me disagreeing with you instead of the voters. Lastly, please state your sources for the #1-#9 if you got it from somewhere else. I believe that Yahoo! community rules require that. If this website is about criticism, I haven't even started criticizing you.

UPDATE 2: This is addressed to the person below me. I was not in any way calling you out. My comments were to the person who asked the question and then called everyone else an idiot. Reading your opinion, the only aspect I disagree with is the fact that you stated Wade is better than Kobe. I don't care about what team you're on or how immature you are (as you just revealed). Rather, I am just making sure facts don't get distorted...like the big one you managed to distort: MIAMI HEAT MADE THE PLAYOFFS AS A TEAM AND NOT ONLY WITH WADE.

Answer 4

I would go with T-Mac everyone is forgetting him because he was injured because he had a terrible season because his back spasms. But dont forget this is the same player who brought his team back and scored 13 points in 30 seconds. This is the same player that everyone was on the bandwagon until he got injured and houston had a losing record. This is a new day a new season if T-Mac had a season like two seasons ago i guarantee everyone would be putting him in the top 5.
He is still fast he is still athletic he can still play defense he still has an amazing shot. The only thing he lacks is leadership skills.

Edit : Guy's chill out different people have different opinions. In my opinion Kobe is better than Wade because if Kobe had talent like shaq he won 3 straight titles. Wade can do the samething. But Kobe almost knocked off the second seed in the west. Kobe has learned to pass the ball in off season. KObe can shoot better than wade. Drive better than wade. Score better. Defend way better and is way more clutch.

Wade is an amazing player and no one can down his ability. He is a young player who has been the superstar on his team to lead them into the finals/

Answer 5

That question can't be answered. You have to narrow it down, for example, best rebounder, best 3-pt shooter, etc. No one player is the best at everything. Stop insulting your responders...people can answer however they choose. If you can't handle it, don't ask. And by the way, if you want to go by field goal percentages, it's Shaq, and it's BEEN Shaq every year for years. So you have to be more specific. AND...you asked who's the 10th best player, not the 10 best players...moron. Got your message. I'm an idiot? Maybe, but I can spell. You need anger management classes dude. But I still like you anyway. You're real.

Answer 6

Alonzo Mourning

Answer 7

Rip Hamilton

Answer 8

Your List is horrible but anyway a big time player you are missing is Gilbert Arenas. He would definetely crack you top 5. I dont know how #s 5-9 beat Gilbert but thats just my opinion

Answer 9
