    Kobe's shots against double teams are great to watch. Mind you the rest of his game is ugly.

    I don't think it's far-fetched at all but, I do really enjoy watching how Chandler plays. There is an element of smoothness to his cuts, ball fakes and shooting style. I think his release, though unconventional, is nice to me.

    Over the last decade or so:

    Kobe
    T-Mac w/ orlando & early houston
    KG w/ t-wolves
    Dirk
    Melo
    Durant
    Ray Allen w/ sonics
    Michael Redd in mid 00's
    Vince Carter
    LBJ after 2006
    Jermaine O'neal w/ pacers
    Iverson early/mid 00's
    Ginobli when not injured
    Rip Hamilton on pistons off the ball play
    Rashard Lewis that one season the sonics were good

    LeBron - Does everything so well, so effortlessly. So dominant in all phases.
    CP3- Mastery of getting where he wants, score-pass balance.
    Kyrie - Such a smooth but deadly scorer.
    Durant - Scores so easily and quickly.
    Melo - Offensive arsenal is impressive to watch.
    OJ - Smooth offensive game and jumper.

    Vince Carter had the most aesthetically pleasing game in his prime, with his jumper, arsenal and of course his athleticism.

    When Lin is looking to score he's exciting for sure, fearless drives to the basket and absorbs contact while trying to finish.

    McGrady, Kobe, Vince Carter, certainly miss the SG era, let's hope Mohammed and Wiggins are the real deal.

    And yeah Durant is fun to watch, the guy looks like his limbs are about to snap in half at any given moment but his absurd length means he can just pick up his dribble from near the three-point line and finish around the basket. Fricken ridiculous. And that silky jumper.

    AI back in the day for sure.

    Right now it's gotta be KD - though that might just be because I'm watching OKC-LAC right now and KDISNOTNICE in this game. Anytime Clippers gain any kind of momentum for a comeback in this game, KD stomps on their necks w/ a cold-blooded 3 or a slam down the middle.

    Of all time, it would have to be Akeem for me. I liked Michael Cooper a lot. And Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkens!! Steve Nash has been a joy to watch. Right now, I probably like Toni Parker's game best.

    If we're talking all time, Wilt Chamberlain is simply amazing to watch. This guy's game is so unique, man, he's amazing.

    I change it up but I'm liking Kyrie Irving right now.

    All time though goes to Hakeem.
