Dikembe Mutombo?
Melo goes ahead of the matrix. I hate Koby, mcgrady ahead. (biased) No way in hell Duncan is ahead of garnett Yao over shaq and most definitely Gasol over Magloire Steve is a top two point guard in the east.. that's messed up AI has dropped off. 1. pierce 2. James 3. AI-3 4. Hamilton 5. Redd Oh yeah, K-Mart is bankrupt, Sheed is the new shariff...
PGs in the East should go Marbury, Francis, Kidd, Billups. Kidd had knee surgery and if game 7 was any indication (papers in NY state he still can't go full speed), he's going to drop off tremendously this year, especially if (and when) Kmart goes to another team. AK's good, but I don't think that good. If this is for regular season, Peja's #1 at SF. If it's playoff, Peja isn't even ranked. "No way in hell Duncan is ahead of garnett" Duncan's won two Larry O'Brien tropehis, KG hasn't won any. Duncan's the better defender, better rebounder, and more clutch. In every aspect he's ahead of KG. He also serves his country when asked, and doesn't bow out like KG did this year becuase his body is so tired after getting out of the first round. Yao over Shaq I think is a joke somebody told me the other day. Please. Shaq's #1 until he retires. Mike Redd should be higher, he's a very good, underrated player.
This list was too damn big.. say top 5 for each position. Point Guard: Jason Kidd Baron Davis Stephon Marbury Mike Bibby Steve Francis (I omitted Cassell because he is too much of a defensive liability even though he had a break out season, and DWade only had this one good season) Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady Kobe Bryant Allen Iverson Lebron James Paul Pierce Small Forward: Vince Carter Ron Artest Shawn Marion Peja Stojakovic Andre Kirilenko Power Forward: Tim Duncan Kevin Garnett Jermaine Oneal Dirk Nowitzki Elton Brand Center: Shaquille O'Neal Yao Ming Ben Wallace Brad Miller Erick Dampier J I think next year or the year after Yao will surpass Shaq as the most dominant center.. Shaq is on the decline and Yao is on the upswing. Yao is a year more experienced and it will make a huge difference this time around.

McInnis plays point for the Cavs, LBJ occaisionally slides over to the 1, but is usually at the 2/3 spots.
