    Anywhere that he has to initiate the offense. He'd be effective, but he wouldn't look like the All-NBA guy that he looks like at times on the Kings. He would die in Marbury's role. He wouldn't last 5 minutes in New Orleans. I don't think he would look that great anywhere in the East.

    He would be awesome for the Lakers. Switch out Payton and Bibby, and the Lakers would sweep their way through the finals. They wouldn't even need Malone...Bibby, Kobe, and Shaq would roll to the ring. His shot complements Kobe and Shaq well, and he wont be relied on to initiate the offense.

    It's hard to say how well he'd fit in San Antonio or Minnesota. He doesn't have the ability to break down the defense like a Parker, Ginobilli, or even Cassell, but, then again, he's a better three point shooter than all of them. Thing is, neither of these offenses really requires the lights out shooting that the Sacramento offense requires, especially from the team's point guard. If you'll notice, Parker and Ginobilli gather a larger percentage of their points going to the basket(Usually through a clear lane, thanks to TD) than most guards in the league. He doesn't have near the mid-range game that Sam Cassell has. Again, a three point shooter wouldn't hurt in Minnesota, but I don't think the offense calls for a lights-out type guy like Bibby.

    pistol pete - yeah he's exciting but everything bout him was flashy, no substance and no winner

    dominique wilkins - great athlete, one of the greatest flyers, great scorer, but thats it

    bernard king - just like wilkins minus the dunks

    chris mullin - great shooter, smart player, scorer, but just cant lead his team to victory

    overrated now:

    steve francis - no explanation needed.

    baron davis

    michael finley

    antoine walker

    c webb

    Carmelo Anthony... The guy is a one dimensional player... Amazing how he got lumped in with Labron just because they came in the league the same year and that they are friends

    I agreed with the Melo assesment earlier in the year, I considered him the next Glen Robinson but now I'm not too certain.

    Carmelo overrated?? are you kidding me?? check out his avgs compared with Lebron.. but by far the MOST overrated player right now.. is Richard Jefferson.. take Kidd of that team and you can subtract about 10 pts of his avg.. jefferson is abv avg.. but an olympian? an allstar?? good god no... oh yeah also gotta put in Finley. Kmart, GP, Pau Gasol, Toine (walker), Divac, and Karla
