Who is you're favorite NBA player and why?

[AnaheimLakers24]

Kobee - most exciting player ive seen

gasol - not a prick like shaq/skilled and fun to watch when he wasnt half assing it

[AboutBuckets]

Probably All-Time goes to Duncan because of the insane consistency and excellency he's brought to both sides of the game for nearly 20 years. Through different play styles of his team and the ever-changing rules of the league, the old man still gets the job done and never makes a fuss about it.

Currently (even though he hasn't played a game yet) I'm going with Embiid, just because of what his potential means to my hometown team. Knock on wood, but on the chance that he realizes his full potential and has a (fingers crossed) healthy career he could really be something special that defines a new era of big men

[atljonesbro]

Jeff Teague/Al Horford. Both Hawks from the start and both beasts.

[T_L_P]

LeBron, which includes defending 1-5.

He cant even consistently guard 3s.

[Jailblazers7]

Def Lillard. Dude is just a baller.

Hopefully it will be Embiid once he gets on the court.

[chosen_one6]

#8 Kobe and LeBron James.

#8 Kobe because he wasn't a completely arrogant d*ck at the time and he actually played defense.

LeBron because he is an all round player. He excels at everything and that's the type of game I like to watch.

I don't mind remenicin'g about my marquette guy - Dwayne Wade

When I saw him play in my milwaukee - he was an undersized SF that had no problems playing in the tree's

Going to Miami - killed me , because if he would of dropped down about 10 spots my Bucks would of taken him.

Needless to say , for at least 3-5 years he carried Miami by him self on his back and got them to the playoffs.

Finally Shaq , ZO and Haslem allowed him to propel into the finals and won a title as well as MVP of the finals.
A few years later he claimed two more titles and is a lock for the HOF.

His driving prowls , defense , outlet passing , rebounding and post up play is what a true SG is all about.

In his prime , going against Kobe , I loved it when in a game of the week , he blocked Kobe from behind , and Kobe could not believe he was even blocked.
D-wade took it the other way and jammed it.

Milwaukee's crowd to this day gives him a warm welcome , because they feel he still belongs.

While growing up it was these two



Currently

[Rake2204]

Out of current players: Vince Carter

I was reeled in by his dunking style and abilities the moment he stepped foot in the league. Actually, I think it was the double pump reverse against Indy that did it. Somehow just figured he was another "good" dunker when he came through UNC. Didn't realize he had it like that. Had a lot of fun tuning into highlight shows hoping to see a dunk performed in a way I'd never seen before.

Still enjoy Vince's dunks, the few times he's able to pull them off these days.

Also seems like an affable and well spoken guy who's truly familiar with the history of the dunk, so I respect that too.

rajon rondo.

i hated the lakers back when i was a kid, and when they knocked off the 2002 kings i cried and swore off basketball for a long time. i never truly followed it aside from an update from time to time, and i never cared to. that was, until the 2008 finals and i saw rajon rondo put on a show with his unbelievable passing and excellent defense. the way he handles the ball, sets his team up, is what true point-guard play is all about. i kinda wish he had tried to score more, but then again i never got tired of seeing him set up teammates.

rajon rondo made me fall in love with basketball all over again.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Currently? Steve Nash cause he's got the best hair ever.

It will stay Nash until he retires then I move to Dirk. Once Dirk retires then I don't know. Will probably stop watching basketball and move on to rugby or something.

[Hey Yo]

This guy

[RightTwoCensor]

James Harden: Best passing, shooting, rebounding, defensive SG I've seen since first watching ball in 1957.

[Dro]

I don't have a current favorite player.....All time, Ill go with MJ because he's easily the most entertaining player I've ever seen play..and the best......
