You so want to say that Yao's beter than Howard. Get over it, it's like who cares for that as long team's winning.
Chris Paul- I don't think this is even up for debate Dwayne Wade- He's baaack. I think if he were with the Lakers they would be better and if Kobe was with the Heat they would be about the same. Only thing Kobe has on him is 3 point shooting but that doesn't seem to affect his ability to score and lead a team. Pretty much unstoppable. Lebron James- it is what it is. 6' 8" 270lb power point guard. Chris Bosh- Best talent at the position now. Tim Duncan- More consistant @ the position than Yao. I pray that changes though.
Bosh is hardly a Top 5 power forward in the NBA. How is he ahead of KG? KG actually plays Defense you know.
Kobe>Wade, wade has nothing on kobe except his flops and cries for ref helps, if wade is with lakers, then lakers would not be as good as they are, and if kobe were to lead the heats, the heats will be a much better team
In the Olympics Wade was better. In the last year Wade was fully healthy he was better. This year he is better. A better 3 point shot hardly makes up for all the other ways Wade is better than Kobe--some individual skill related (explosiveness, tenacity at getting to the rim, better shot selection) and some leadership related. My team: Paul, Wade, Lebron, Duncan & Howard.
the olympics was a team game, kobe sacrificed for the sake of the team, melo was better in the qualifying games than wade and lebron, does that make melo better? not to mention kobe played better D than no-d wade in the olympics too. Last year wade was better? that why kobe was MVP? or put kobe on the heat i wouldn't be surprised if kobe scores 81 again. rofl@wade's "individual skill related" such as tenacity to the rim, u mean his crying for help from refs whenever he misses kobe=better leader, scorer, defender
If Amare and Nash could even play AVERAGE defense then the Suns would have won a championship by now. I don't think its a coincedence that they went to the Conference finals in 2006 without him. When Amare's on the floor he'll probably light you up on some plays but his porous interior defense is an issue on EVERY play.
No. Dirk had a very talented team when he and his team choked in the Finals. Terry, Stackhouse and Howard are all fantastic players. Harris isn't exactly chopped liver either. KG had a great team too last season but from top to bottom it was not as talented as Dirk's NBA Finals team. Do you really think if you replaced KG with Dirk on last year's Celtics they still win it all? I assure you they would not.
