Hi Just want to share with all of you the TOP 25 NBA Best Palyers voted by a poll of 15 General Managers of the NBA league: http://www.sportingnews.com/voices/sean_deveney/20030227.html Yao Ming is ranked 23rd, the ONLY rookie of them all. SF is ranked 13th. The full list is:- 1. Shaquille O'Neal C, Lakers 2. Kobe Bryant SG, Lakers 3. Tim Duncan PF, Spurs 4. Tracy McGrady SG, Magic 5. Kevin Garnett SF, Timberwolves 6. Jason Kidd PG, Nets 7. Chris Webber PF, Kings 8. Dirk Nowitzki PF, Mavericks 9. Paul Pierce SG, Celtics 10. Allen Iverson SG, 76ers 11. Jermaine O'Neal PF, Pacers 12. Gary Payton PG, Bucks 13. Steve Francis PG, Rockets 14. Vince Carter SG, Raptors 15. Steve Nash PG, Mavericks 16. Michael Jordan SF, Wizards 17. Rasheed Wallace PF, Trail Blazers 18. Ray Allen SG, SuperSonics 19. Stephon Marbury PG, Suns 20. Karl Malone PF, Jazz 21. Shawn Marion SF, Suns 22. Baron Davis PG, Hornets 23. Yao Ming C, Rockets 24. John Stockton PG, Jazz 25. Michael Finley SG, Mavericks
I would put Dumcan and Garnett ahead of Kobe Ben Wallace should take Vince Carter's spot Elton Brand for Baron Davis's spot Yao Ming ahead of Shawn marion Jamal Mashburn over Michael Finley and John Stockdon John Stockdon should not be in the list I may have miss something. but this is from top of my head
