    Watching the Mavs v Suns game last night, I came up with the idea for this thread. Pick one basketball skill and name the player who is the best at it in the entire league. Examples of skills could be Best Crossover, or Best Mid Range Game...

    The Jet was killin off of his patented pull up last night, so here's mine.

    Best pull up jumper off of the dribble - Jason Terry

    (As much as I hate the Mavs, his pull up j is wet)

    James is a much better scorer, but thats just because he doesn't play PG. But yea it could be a tie.

    Strongest - Dwight Howard.

    Wouldn't you want to see him against LeBron in a bench press contest? LeBron might be second strongest but it wouldn't be close.
