Love to watch these guys for their smarts, skill, attitude, and/or hustle: Scola, Leonard, Batum, and Redick.
Favorite guys to watch in playoffs, I like true pgs rondo - heart, defense, floor general, triple double Parker -clutch, system guy, no media hype - just gets the job done year after year
I'v liked duo's Nash, Amare - Kidd, Dirk - Williams, Boozer - Melo, Nene - Love, Rubio Then for singles Griffen, Chris Anderson, Shaq, Ellis and Nate Robinson.
My favourite players by each position. PG: Kyrie Irving, (a healthy) Derrick Rose, Chris Paul SG: Ray Allen, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant SF: Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, (not sure between) Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony PF: LaMarcus Aldridge, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love C: Roy Hibbert, Larry Sanders (im surprised no one said that yet), Pau/Marc Gasol
KD and Joakim Noah are two of my faves -- until we play OKC or CHI, then all bets are off. Nate Robinson is my ABSOLUTE FAVE. Even when he's playing against us, I quietly root for him to do well.
Damian Lillard....cause he came from the little followed Big Sky Conference and he's one hell of a good player.
90s-'10 era KG, Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, Glen Rice, ray Allen, peja, Current players: George, Love, Rubio, uncle drew, curry, faried, Thompson, Danny green, Larry Saunders I hate players like: Duhon, melo, gooden, Muhammad al-rahif, the starting SG that's with Dallas now, all of Miami heat and etc
I already said Kobe was a great player in his 20's. But the fact is when you compare him to Jordan, that's extremely deceptive. Jordan was always the best player on his championship teams, it was never even a question. You could argue that Kobe was never the best player on any of his championship teams. People will say "bullsh** Pau isn't that good" but people forget just how much of a BEAST he was a few years ago. He was a 23-24 PER guy on the Lakers championship teams and he did it while having more of an impact on defense than Kobe at the time.
