  10. I'm an elitist and I think Hitler was awesome, but you need a superstar to win titles.

    I agree with Bynum. The elite teams' (- lakers) only weaknesses are at center, and that's where you can even the playing field

    If Rudy Gay is clearly on Durant's level then the Grizzlies would be a much better team last season. But he's nowhere close to Durant at all.

    Am I the only one who thinks that Lamarcus Aldridge is overrated by a lot of people? He's a nice, skilled finesse post scorer with a good midrange game. But he's a middling passer, defender and rebounder. I think he's a step below where Pau Gasol was at the same age when he was a featured player in Memphis, and Pau was several steps below Webber, Dirk, Duncan and Garnett at the time.

    Maybe it's just a testament to how much weaker the PF position is compared to 5-10 years ago, but I don't see LMA as significantly better than Elton Brand, Jermaine O'Neal or Rasheed Wallace were in their respective primes.

    I think he's overrated as well probably the 2nd tier of PFs, but on the right team (like the Pacers) I think he'd be a formidable threat.

    The list should have Tony Parker and Pau Gasol.

    Id say joe johnson. I think he is superstar caliber, but he isn't really considered by anyone really.
