Top ten players in the NBA?

[QUOTE=retaxis]so kobe played elite D last year is that what you are saying?[/QUOTE]

I didnt watch enough Lakers games last season to form a valid opinion, and I doubt you did also, so Im going to assume that he played at the same quality he did the seasons before, because his defense isnt going to magically drop off in one year.

watched enough buddy

I doubt it. Coaches say he is an elite defender, so I choose to beleive them instead of your judgement from the 10 Lakers games you watched last season. No Offense.

[QUOTE=SilkkTheShocker]There still isn't a PF in the league I would take over Duncan when it matters. Even at 37 and limited minutes, he is the best.[/QUOTE]

THIS

Duncan always gets overlooked.

sure thing whatever you say this is a discussion board

[QUOTE=The JKidd Kid]I think that the 100s of NBA coaches that have voted him to All-Defensive teams throughout his career know more than someone on the internet that probably watched less than 10 lakers games last season.[/QUOTE]

Kobe has not been deserving of all-defensive team honors in years and definitely NOT last year when he was a sieve on defense. It's a travesty to all the true defensive specialists in the league - he's gotten them on pure reputation in recent years.

Kobe leaves his man wide open all the time.

[QUOTE=retaxis]we haven't had one of these in a while and everyone can create their list with whatever assumptions based on health e.g. westbrook/rose/kobe for [b]this upcoming season[/b]

1. LBJ
2. Durant
3. Howard
4. Carmelo
5. Westbrook
6. Rondo
7. Rose
8. TP
9. Wade
10. Paul George[/QUOTE]

No CP3 means your list is trash
