    Of course most people would say kobe or lebron...but i think D-wade has to be in the conversation with those two...he is just straight amazing if u watch him play. I love watching the highlights of heat games because all the highlights are of him lol

    Dwight Howard for me. You can find a ton of good guards but good centers are a rarity.

    D-wade hands down should be who the Rockets go after in 2010. I would sign that man to a max deal and not think twice, he puts it all on the line every night and with the right roleplayers he would carry a team to the Finals again.

    I would never start a team with a player that you can't give the ball to in the clutch and let him go to work, but maybe that's just me.

    Agreed and I think that not having another true go to guy with Dwight has hurt him in the big games. He doesn't really have a guy that can consistently make it easier for him.

    But Jameer has been improving this season.

    But as far as the thread goes I also think D-Wade should be in the discussion. The stuff he does on the court is flatout amazing. He makes some of the most acrobatic shots I have ever seen.

    Clutch centers are a rare breed. There are plenty of clutch guards out there and I would rather have them handle the ball in close late game situations. They have better handles, they can penetrate, shoot, and penetrate better then centers.

    From active players, it would have to be LeBron James. This guy is unbelievable on the court at times and he is still getting better.

    I might consider D-Howard, but he needs to add more offensive tools to his game.

    For me hands down, Wade. He's just a monster right now. I really dislike Lebron's game. Kobe only really takes over at the end of the 4th.

    After Wade it'd be..

    Paul.
    Roy.
    Granger.
    Yao.

    Granger is a deadly deadly deadly shooter. the man was born with ice in his veins.

    D-Wade for sure, he's a lot more humble than Kobe or King James. KJ is a spoiled beast.

    what r u talking abt wade is more humble than kb or lbj? wade is the most arrogant player in the league, if u ever pay attention to his game, u'd notice how cocky he is and how he has such poor sportsmanship

    I dont think he's arrogant at all. I see massive amounts of arrogance in LBJ more then any other player in the league. He cried and cried about that whole crab-dribble fiasco, when he constantly gets away with travels left and right. LBJ feels like he's entitled to everything. I dislike players like that with a passion. Not to mention, I saw this thing on ESPN about him being during the Olympic practices, where he just kept talkin' and talkin' and talkin'. Freakin' annoying as all hell and he wasnt saying anything the least bit funny, interesting or important. Very immature guy who I think loves to hear himself talk. Everyone but Kobe showed they were annoyed by LBJ's talkin' in their bodily postures.

    Agree that Wade is more humble than Lebron & Kobe, a little, but still has arrogance.

    Though its hard to be a top wing position player and NOT have at least a little bit arrogance. Having to score, be a playmaker, set up teammates, break down double teams off the dribble, be relied upon for the clutch shots, takes a strong mental approach and having confidence in your abilities that can appear arrogant at times.

    I love how Wade plays. His supporting cast isn't nearly as talented as Cleveland yet he carries his team night in and night out. If I could add a 3 pt threat to him, I would definitely have him hands down.

    Lebron and its not even close. I'm sorry anybody who does not pick him is a moron.

    What exactly is Miami doing this year?
