NBA’s Top 10 Players 2010

Bringing you the top 10 list of the NBA’s best players. Just like in 2009 and 2008, we rank the top 10 players in the NBA based on 3 major areas of criteria. These criteria include winning, individual statistics, and the intangible’s like leadership, being clutch, fighting through injuries etc. At the bottom of the list are the “Honorable Mentions” that did not quite make the list of the top 10, but were of course very close. Let’s get right to it!

1. Kobe Bryant

kobe10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

After winning his 4th NBA Title, the guy hasn’t missed a beat. You can say the guy actually got better over the summer, working out with Hakeem Olajuwon and introducing a solid post game to his offensive arsenal. Many people want to crown LeBron James at the top of this list, but it just does not work that way. Kobe is still at the top of his game and he is winning rings, not LeBron! Expect Kobe to win his second MVP in 2010′.

2. LeBron James

lebron10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

LeBron is a beast to say the least. After winning the MVP last season, LeBron has a very good chance of winning it yet again this season. There is nobody else in the world at the same level of Kobe and LeBron. The man get’s better and better every single season. If you would have told me 10 years ago that one day we would see a player with Michael Jordan’s athleticism and the size of Karl Malone, I would have called you crazy. It’s crazy to see what LeBron can do on a basketball court.

3. Dwyane Wade

dwade10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

It’s crazy how this guy is always being overlooked because of Kobe and LeBron. Dwade is flat out a great player. The word Great get’s used in sports far too often. When I say great I say future hall of famer. The big question for Wade will be if he can lead his team to a competitive season and past the first round of the playoffs. If he can do that, Wade will reach a level that LeBron and Kobe have reached with getting the most out of their teammates.

4. Chris Paul

cp310 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

What needs to be said here. CP3 is the best point guard in the world hands down. He’s nasty competitive. He can finish going to the rim like no other point guard in this era. He can pass, shoot, score, defend. The only downside here is the New Orleans Hornets organization lack of willingness to support him by providing him solid players and a coaching staff to work with. Outside of that, Chris Paul is holding his own as the modern day version of Isaiah Thomas.

5. Carmelo Anthony

carmelo10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

If Carmelo Anthony can stay healthy, he has a good chance of winning his first MVP award in 2010. I don’t know what Melo is eating for breakfast, but the guy has made himself unstoppable.  He’s an offensive scoring machine, and he has stepped up his game defensively to an elite level. Melo proved in last year’s playoff run that he is one of the leagues top 5 players and cannot be stopped by anybody when he has the ball in his hands.

6. Kevin Garnett

garnett10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

People are moving this guy out of their top 10 lists because of his injured Knee and his age. Baloney! The Celtics are one of two dominant teams in the league (the Lakers being the other) and Garnett is by far the cornerstone of the Celtics. Without him they are nothing. Even though Garnett’s offensive numbers are down, his defensive precense is still as frightening to opposing teams as ever. And talking about intangibles, nobody brings more leadership and effort day in and day out than Kevin Garnett. He’s a poor man’s Bill Russell, and that my friends is quite the compliment.

7. Dirk Nowitzki

dirk10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

I don’t know if it’s cause he’s German, or because he’s white, or what exactly it is. But people seem to always sleep on Dirk Nowitzki. But Dirk continues to put up huge numbers since he won his first MVP award a few years back. His team continues to be competitive, and he continues to show more and more toughness each season. Truly one of the most gifted 7 Footers we have ever seen in Basketball. He is a joy to watch!

8. Dwight Howard

dwighthoward10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

Popularity wise Dwight Howard is easily in the top 3 or 4 of this list. But being one of the best players in the NBA has nothing to do with popularity, and everything to do with your game. He’s the strongest guy in the league. And he’s the most dominant player inside 4-5 feet from the rim. Defensively he can change entire playoff seasons with his inside precense. But he won’t move higher up on this list until he can provide leadership to his team, and develop more of an inside post-up offensive game.

9. Deron Williams

deron10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

The only reason Deron Williams doesn’t get more “pub” as one of the premier players in the NBA today is because of where he plays. That being Utah of course. Combine that with a team full of lazy, unambitious, self-serving players around him and you can see the difficulties he has to deal with. But every year he gets better and better. Scoring, passing, ball-handling, defense etc. The guy can do it all at his position. Throw Chris Paul out of the equation, and Deron is the best point guard in the World.

10. Steve Nash

stevenash10 NBAs Top 10 Players 2010

Steve Nash didn’t make the list in 2009, primarily because the Suns stopped winning and Nash started to look old. This season however is a completely different story. Nash is showing no signs of his age whatsoever, and is leading his Phoenix Suns to a winning season with an under-talented team and an inexperienced head coach. The guy is still one of the funnest players to watch in the game today! Don’t be suprised if this guy pulls a John Stockton on us and plays til’ he’s 40.

Honorable Mentions

  1. nope not right it goes 1 lebron 2 kobe 3 wade 4 paul 5 dwight 6 melo 7 roy 8 dirk 9 amare 10 nash

  2. wow, for an ESPN guy I’m disappointed.

    top 5 are ok, but KG is not even top 10 this season: all #s are down and 2 injuries, intagables aside. Timmy’s honorable mention? 20-10 with CAREER LOW (33?) minutes! (and he’s old!) Dirk deserves a spot but Duncan is still the best PF in the game, period.

    Next, D Will above Nash? please. I can see CP3 over Nash, but not Williams.

    Last, no Durantula!? He’s having a MONSTER season and single handedly keeping the Thunder in playof contention.

  3. I just can’t take this list seriously until Brandon Roy is higher. I know he doesn’t get much love out in Portland but the guy can just flat out play.

  4. Hold up,this is how it goes. First is the all time passer, the (2x)MVP steve nash then 2. amare STAT 3. labron, kobe and the others ya diggg! And i today

  5. this list is ok but cutting out tim duncan is a bad move and where is carlos boozer and why is amare out to its just 2010 no need to post up a top ten already

  6. Hi,

    I was checking out your site and thought it was great! We are the official sponsors of the LA Lakers and do a lot with Nike/Kobe Bryant – specifically within Shoes. Right now we are carrying the Kobe V! I was wondering if you would like to partner up and I can send you exclusive images/info/events/promos that have to do with Kobe/Lakers and you can post up on your site! If this sounds like something you’d like to do please email me!

    Thanks,
    Michelle

    10.Roy

  8. YES! Kobe number #1

  9. koby is the best player in the whole world!!!!!!

  10. So let me get this straight….Lebron averages more points, assists, rebounds, blocks, shoots a better fg%, shoots a better 3 point %, is 2-0 against Kobe and outplayed him in both games, is the favorite to win MVP, is the favorite to win defensive player of the year, is on the team with the best record in the NBA…..yet you rank Kobe above Lebron? Seriously? No really, seriously? HA HA HA HA. FANBOY.

  11. @Ted sorry to break it to you but routing off statistics from ESPN.com doesn’t make you sound more intelligent. You’ve got true NBA fans on this blog. So if you bring a weapon, you better prepare to bring some real ammo.

    Kobe = 4 Championships
    Lebron = 0

    Enough said.

  12. I thought this was about the best players in the NBA in 2010? Then why bring up the championships? Obviously right now Lebron is a better player. I’d argue that winning championships is a poor way to guage a players worth anyway, I mean Kobe had Shaq for 3 of those and when Kobe had no Shaq and no Gasol he was nowhere near winning a championship. Chase, please stop being a fanboy and look at the facts.

  13. Chase did you really write this “Expect Kobe to win his second MVP in 2010?.” ????? And then you claim you know basketball??????? WOW. Just Wow.

  14. Deleting my posts because I point out that Lebron is better than Kobe? FANBOY

    Turn on PTI, both the host said Lebron is better than Kobe. Face it fanboy, outside of LA about 2% of baskebtall fans agree with you.

  15. Gary wow!

    So why is that you think Lebron is the better player.I think its funny how we can say that players like MJ,Bill Russell,Larry Bird and many others were some of the best players to ever play the game because of all things they have accomplished but because you are Lebron fanboy you wont give Kobe the credit he is due.to be considered one of the best to play this game you need more then just good stats.You need to accomplish things.Lebron has some records and he did win the MVP but he needs to win some championships and find a way to get his team to the top.You cant sit there and argue that Kobe only has accomplished what he has accomplished because shaq was there.Just because kobe had shaq doesnt mean thats the reason he won the championships.I also things its funny that Lebron has the nickname “the king” What in the hell is he the king of.The only he has done thus far is win a MVP trophy. Dont get me wrong he is a great great player.But that name needs to go, at least until he accomplishes more.

  16. lebron foever the best hope he wins this season the cavs are my favorite and i live in texas too go cavs

  17. The Article had a title: NBA’s Top Ten Players 2010

    Then why are we talking rings here? The result must be based on the performance of the candidates during the current season because your title said it so.

    “Kobe is still at the top of his game and he is winning rings, not LeBron! Expect Kobe to win his second MVP in 2010″

    Is this list really based in a real survey or just of the writer’s sole opinion? Because the last time i checked, Lebron is way ahead of Kobe and the Cavs are currently at the top of the NBA standings now.

    2-allen iverson
    3-lebron james
    4-dwyane wade
    5-carmelo anthony
    6-dwight howerd
    7-cp3
    8-steave nash
    9-derik roas
    10-amire stonimaiar

  37. where is allen iverson

  38. put it like dis rite hea LEBRON IS DHE BEAST while KOBE IS DHE BEAUTY like come on now people dis is BASKETBALL were talmbout hea !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. yes haters kobe didnt get a championship with out shaq and with out gasol due to injuries and plz yea he did win it with their help but lebron not even having mo williams and shaq didnt even get to this years finals and when he loose he walks out like a real ***** and a next thing is that lebron has made 81 points in a game when has lebron done that or do 4 games str8 with 61pts ok get your facts str8 and be realistic lebron is only 6 years younger kobe got his first ring at the age of 21 so stop hateing caz even jordan got his rings with help!!!!!!

  40. i ment KOBE BRYANT HAS MADE 81PTS IN A GAME……

  41. Lebron is obviously the better player in the NBA he is also more respectful and a better role model to people. I agree that Kobe is good but rather cocky and doesn’t deserve to be at the top of the list.

  42. noooo it goes 1-Kobe 2-Kevin Durant 3-Lebron James 4-D-Wade 5-Carmelo 6-Dwright Howard 7-Chris Bosh 8-Rajon Rondo 9-Randon Roy 10-Derrick Rose

  43. Why is Lebron on this list? If you can’t produce when it matters, then you are not a top 10 player. Top 10 choke artist, and he is definatly number 1. Give me players, not people that quit during a game. Kobe has played hurt this entire season and still produces, show me Lebron in 10yrs and he will still be mister goose egg for championships.

    KING James, HAHA!

  44. then lebron is better than kobe huh? look young people lebron did made it to the finals this 2010 folks kobe is still the best of all bad boys so pls. cry lebron fans because did not keep his promise youngv people

  45. lebron did not made it to the finals just a typical error

  46. Dont get me wrong LeBron is a great player, and yes he is the 2nd best player and some day he will be the best player, but right now Kobe is. While all of the power, passing, dunking, blocking that LJ shows, he still isn’t a good closer and to be the best player you definitely have to have that attribute. Jordan, Bird, and Magic all had it, and now Kobe has it and he closes out teams in the regular season and in the playoffs. He hits shots that everyone else in the NBA wishes they could, and he never folds under pressure. He will be in his 7th NBA finals(which is 1 more than the GREAT MJ23), and trying for his 5th ring. So come on ppl, we will call LeBron the #1 soon, but right now its Kobe’s world and we all are living in Mamba-land!!

  47. This sucks again we dont have the cavs vs the lakers in the finals. if only the cavs made it instead of boston. it would close the book on the kobe vs lebron debate. i think this list is right. mvp for the season no question its lebron but to this top 10 criteria its kobe in my book. kobe is mr clutch more so than lebron. I really hope that we get to see kobe vs lebron in their nba career.

  48. I couls of swore the title read NBA’S Top Ten Players 2010. So how the hell is CP3 on everyones list when he was hurt damn near the whole season.

  49. The reason why Lebron is not better than Kobe is because Kobe is the best FINISHER period!!!!!! Thats what sets them apart. Lebron has failed to show he can hit big shots in big games at the end of games.

  50. Kobe IS the best player alive i dont know bout ya but kobe is better than lebron.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  77. Lebron should be #1 because it didn’t say who has the most rings, its who’s the best player of 2009-2010, and clearly Lebron is because he won MVP twice in a row and he’s going to when it again this year.

    Also if lebron and kobe played one on one kobe will get his ass kicked because he’s way smaller than lebron, and lebron is very fast can shoot better and will dunk all-over kobe weak asz.

    KING JAMES IN THE HOUSE WITH WADE AND CHRIS BOSH.

    THEY GONNA WHEN AT LEAST $ CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS TOGETHER.

  80. Dear Ken,
    Have you ever heard lebrons name on any of them so called songs u talkin bout cuz 2 me and everyone else it has clearly not been heard

  81. 1.Kobe Bryant
    2.Lebron James
    3.Dwayne Wade
    4.Kevin Durant
    5.Carmelo Anthony The top ten are all shooting gaurds
    6.Paul Pierce and small fowards
    7.Joe Johnson nothing other
    8.Brandon Roy
    9.Andre Iguodola
    10.Stephen Jackson or Rip Hamilton

    10.

  82. for all you fools who dont know shit about basketball and just regurgitate stats from espn.com, kobe is better than lebron. yes, he has better ppg and all the other numbers you want to bring up, but the kid chokes when it counts. this is the top ten players, not top ten scorers. if you want to talk about the best player in the world right now, you have to take into account the quality of their play as well as the impact of their play. Lebron simply shat on everyone for the first half of the season, then he couldnt make a jumpshot to save his life when his team was in a win-or-go-home situation. so for all you fat bastards who sit at home and think youre qualified to make judgements, look at something more than just pure statistics when taking into account who is better. kobe > lebron. enough said

  83. sorry for the fans of kobe, lebron maybe not have 5 rings..but look.. lebron is the best player in the NBA today. He is not a selfish leader, he always slices the defence. He always attacks the basket. He can put 56 triple-doubles in a single season 2 time season MVP, 2 time allstar MVP. Unlike kobe, the reason why they have go to the finals 3 times is because of pau gasol, he is the real guy who make the LA Lakes go to the finals 3 times. this is the real rankings (with stats to prove it)

    PPG RPG APG BPG SPG FG% 3PT% FT%
    1.) LeBron James 29.2 8.2 7.2 1.2 1.8 .506 .345 .788
    2.) Dwyane Wade 26.7 5.1 6.8 1.4 1.9 .489 .300 .756
    3.) Kobe Bryant 28.7 5.0 4.8 0.3 1.6 .456 .360 .813
    4.) Kevin Durant 30.1 7.2 2.4 0.8 1.2 .501 .420 .801
    5.) Dwight Howard 17.7 11.3 3.5 3.7 1.0 .669 .333 .601

  84. Imma say this once and final!! KOBE BRYANT IS THE BEST PLAYER N THE WORLD HANDS DOWN!! He is the only player that goes hard on offence and plays local lock down defense.. He’s a vocal leader on and off the floor and doesn’t except mediocrity at all!!! He’s plays the game with passion and does whatever it that’s to become better and doesn’t listen to criticism just go Ham.. If LeBron was so damn good he would’ve made it at least to the finals once out of the 3 straight years Kobe went to the finals?? What happened?? Answer that ? Lol

  85. WTF here is the real list……

    1. Kobe
    2. Lebron
    3. Wade

    5. Melo
    6. Dwight
    7. Rondo
    8. Dirk
    9. Amare
    10.Gerald Wallace

    The only reason CP3 isn’t on this list is because he didn’t play enough games to impress anyone this season..!

  86. 1. lebron james

    8 dwight howard
    9 dirk n
    10 pau gasol

  95. I see it this way, if you are going to put some of the best players of all times in a room for a pres conference you should put, Michael Jordan, Magic, D. Wade. Kobe Bryant, shaq. Players like them. Now the all have something in common. They all have whon more than 2 championchips, am not saying that because you don’t hace a champion chip you are not good but if you don’t hace one you can go in the room with all the greats in there. You can’t!!!! Lebron James is a beast, but why I haven’t seen him in some playoffs in the last games? Why he haven’t been close to win a whole playoffs season? He is good and we all know that, and when I mean good its realy goood!!!! But he just can be better than kobe bryant. Kobe bryant is a legend and he will always be a legend. Am no fan boy because I think kobe some times sucks! But is has made a name for himself, no one will forget The Legend of Kobe Bryant.

  96. not at all

    3 lebron james
    4 carmello anthony
    5 chris paul
    6 dirk nowitzi
    7 kevin durant

    7 dwight howard
    8 chris paul
    9 brandon roy
    10 kevin garnett

    THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER PLAYERS I COULD HAVE PUT ON THIS LIST THERE IS A LOT OF PLAYERS ON THE RISE ALSO BUT THE REASON I PUT LEBRON IN FORNT OF KOBE WAS BECAUSE LEBRON IS THE BETTER PLAYER BUT KOBE IS THE BETTER PLAYOFF PLAYER ONCE KOBE AND LEBRON HALF TO PLAY EACH OTHER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP YOU CAN NOT SAY AT LEAST INTILL BOTH ARE GONE AND THEN LOOK BACK AT WHAT THEY DONE. I ALSO HAVE THE LAKERS PLAYING THE HEAT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2010-2011 HEAT VS LAKERS THE HEAT WIN 4 GAMES TO 2 HATE TO SAY IT BUT THATS HOW IT IS IF SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN AND THE HEAT WOULD NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THE CELTICS WOULD TAKE THE TITLE. I WILL MAKE A OTHER LIST SOON MAY BE AFTHER THE SEASON TOP 5 TEAMS ARE HEAT,LAKERS,CELTICS,THUNDER,BULLS. THE OTHER 5 ARE MAGIC,SUNS,MAVS,HAWKS,NUGGETS IF MELO GOES TO THE BULLS THE BULLS THEY WOULD BE IN THE TOP 3 WATCH OUT FOR THAT BUT THE WAY IT LOOKS HE MIGHT GO TO THE KNICKS, OR NETS THE HEAT WILL WIN AT LEAST 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 5 YEARS IF NO OTHER TEAM DOES NOT BOOST UP THE SQUAD.

  103. TOP TEN POINT GUARDS

    1 CHRIS PAUL
    2 d.williams

    4 RAJON RONDO
    5 STEVE NASH
    6 TYRECK EVANS
    8 BRANDON JEEINGS
    9 TY LAWSON
    10 JOHN WALL

    THE REASON I PUT TY LAWSON AND JOHN WALL IN THE TOP 10 BECAUSE IN ABOUT 3 YEARS THEY WILL BE TOP 10 POINT GUARDS I NO RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT IN THE TOP 10 BUT GIVE IT TIME TRUST ME WATCH AND SEE ALSO SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT RONDO IS NOT A TOP 5 BECUASE HE DOES NOT SCORE A LOT BUT LOOK AT ALL THE PLAYS HE DOES FOR THE CELTICS HE IS THE KIND OF POINT GUARD THAT COULD PIAY WITH ANY TEAM

  104. SHOOTING GURADS, SMALL FORWARDS, POWER FORWARDS AND CENTERS TOP 10 COMEING SOON

  113. You SUCK LeBron. LeBron may have won alot of MVP awards but Kobe da one wid 5 rings and another coming 2010-2011. Kobe, Pau , Fisher, Odem, and Artest can kill Wade, Bosh, Chalmbers, Haslem, and LeBron.

  116. Hello I’m back!!! so the LAKERS WON THE NBA FINALS IN GAME 7 AGAINST CELTICS, so KOBE again gets another MVP!!! 5 all!!! yes sir! more good news {for myself} CAVS losses what the LAKERS have defeated the CELTICS hahaha!!!!! and LEBRON is afraid that he hides himself at the MIAMI HEAT {i mean he has transferred to Heat} so CAVS has nothing in arm hahaha!!! and JAMES is a cry baby when he losses! oh poor baby hahaha!!!

  117. my super top 15: 1.KOBE BRYANT 2.PAUL PIERCE 3.DWAYNE WADE 4.KEVIN DURANT 5.KEVIN GARNETT 6.STEVE NASH 7.PAU GASOL 8.DERRICK FISHER 9.RAY ALLEN 10. RON ARTEST 11.RAJON RONDO 12.CHRIS BOSH 13.BEN GORDON 14.TRACY MCGRADY 15.NATE ROBINSON LOSER IS: LEBRON “CRY BABY” JAMES hahaha!!!

  119. Now you may all think LeBron James is a faggot and that he sucks because he moved to the HEAT but C’mon he is the best NBA player right now. C’mon watch him play he’s good.

    I’m a Celtics fan though so you no ‘Bron, Wade and Bosh can’t ever beat the REAL Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. They can try all they like, but they will never be as good.

    Boston Celtics for the 2010/11 NBA Champs.

  120. top 3, coz that is the best player in the planet………hahahaha

    1.kobe
    2.wade
    3.lebron

  121. 1. LeBron James
    2. Kobe Bryant
    3. Dwyane Wade

    6. Tim Duncan
    7. Carmelo Anthony
    8. Dwight Howard
    9. Paul Pierce
    10. Deron Williams
    11. Chris Bosh

    P.S. I’m a Boston fan so you know the best three players are the big three (Garnett, Pierce & Allen), but come on everyone says that LeBron is a poof but everyone also knows that the reason they say that is because he moved to Miami. And because he’s good! Watch him.

  122. This list is horrible and scrolling down i ran into someone who put ty lawson on the list.

When shaq left kobe was left alone with no great players to help him and did he leave? Yea lebrons a great player but every player is in it for 1 thing!! Winning a championship wich he hasent done? And also the cavs are the only team in history to have the best record in the NBA 2 years straight and not make it to the finals all I gotta say is WOW!!! Hahahah here is the true official top 10: 1.kobe 2.lebron 3.dwade 4.kdurant 5.cp3 6.dhoward 7.canthony 8.dnowitzki? 9.pgasol 10.astoudmire

  137. If this is best PLAYERS, it means defense and offense. That kills Melo and durant, and means u gotta include Joe Johnson. he can score anytime, great passer and rebounder, and a shut down defender against great guards every night. One of the most complete ballers alive.

  138. Lbj is bull kobe is king, lebron princess

  139. Kobe=5
    LeBron=0

    oh, you thought i was counting championships? no

  141. Kobe Bryant is the best in the nba and he can dunk on Lebron James and Wade

  142. O.K who ever likes miami are so stupied because lakers are going to win the finals like the other time

  143. Lakers are the best

  144. sorry for the font. but lebron james is surely is the best player as #1 i’ll say because Kobe Bryant is just a show off. he does crazy shots that impress people. that’s why everyone thinks he’s the best but they’re wrong. Kobe doesn’t even pass to people that do double-doubles and lebron passes normaly to people that only make 10 points a game plus lebron is the better athlete than kobe because lebron can put the ball down hard to the rim. everything there is wrong plus how come chris bosh isn’t there. this website is stupid

  145. I’m gonna reply again but the only reason lebron james didn’t make the finals is his team. Lakers just have a better lineup. plus LAKERS?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  148. My bad Kevin Durant isn’t CP3 lol

  149. Carmello, Dwight Howard, Reggie Miller, D-Wade and LeBron have quite a ways to go to reach top-10 players in NBA history. In fact, none of them can possibly make the top-10.

    T1. MJ and Kobe
    3. Bill Russell
    4. Magic Johnson
    T6. W. Chaimberlain, K. A. Jabbar and Shaq O’Neal
    8. Oscar Robertson
    9. Larry Bird
    T10. Julius Erving, Earl Monroe, Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Isiah Thomas, and Tim Duncan

  150. Top-10 Players of today:

    1. KOBE! (LeBron doesn’t even deserve to be argued #1
    2) Kevin Durant
    3. Dwayne Wade
    4. Chris Paul
    5. Kevin Garnett
    6. LeBron James
    8. Dwight Howard
    9. Carmello Anthony
    T10. Brandon Roy, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Amare Staudamire, and Lamar Odom

  151. Here’s how it should be people:

    #1 Kobe Bryant
    Kobe Bryant hands down, is the best basketball player in the world today. He is so talented (do I really need to elaborate this… just watch him play) and has superior conditioning (dude is 32 years old and he’s still kicking ass like he is 25) but what separates him from the rest of the pack is his intelligence, strong-will and mental toughness…
    Sincerely speaking, I firmly believe that Kobe would remain untouchable in that number 1 spot as long as he is actively playing… It’s more than just his basketball skills… It’s his attitude towards the game that makes him stand-out among the rest… Sorry guys, I guess the other 9 guys on my list would have to wait until the Lakers finally hang that Jersey # 24… Kobe Bryant is simply the best… And that’s the way it’s going to be for quite some time…

    #2 Kevin Durant
    KD may not be as explosive as Lebron or spectacular as D-Wade but I think he would be the most successful player of the 3 of them. He is a very complete player, can drop 50 a night with such ease… can pass the ball very well… can defend effectively… and in such a young age shows great leadership qualities… Most importantly, he seems to be more mentally prepared and focused to be the go-to-guy of his team (compared to Lebron)…. I also dig this guy’s soft spoken attitude and down-to-earth (nearly low profile) disposition… But what’s even better is that if provoked he can be as nasty as a Kobe Bryant or even Charles Barkley… Oooopppsss…. Sorry Mr. Chris “Fake Tough Guy” Bosh… Next time, think twice on messing with this kid…

    #3 Lebron James
    Hands down one of the best baller that ever walked the face of the earth!!! Unfortunately, he came into the time when Kobe is busy preparing for his graceful exit and KD is starting to make his way all the way to the top… Too bad for this guy… Really such a bad timing and very bad choice of competition… On the bright side though, I think that he will win a ring with D-Wade and Chris Bosh… And probably get the MVP award on that same season…

    #4 Dwyane Wade
    D-Wade is a true competitor… He can beat you in so many ways… Very exciting to watch… Could have been better compared to Lebron if it weren’t for his size (in comparison to Lebron)… Injury has significantly made a negative impact in his career (he would have been so much better)… I can hardly imagine if he would rank higher than 3 at this point in his career (interchangeable with Lebron)… Most likely would win one more ring (probably the last one) with James and Bosh…

    #5 Dwight Howard
    Dwight is the undisputed most dominant basketball player alive today… And any team that would have such a player of that caliber would sure be a contender… However, that is the problem… They always remain as a contender and never a champion… He and Jameer should have more support in Orlando if they have some serious plans of getting a ring… Or else, I guess Superman is better off joining perhaps… the Lakers??? Hmmm…. Interesting…

    #6 Chris Paul
    For now, he is the best point guard in the whole universe… Period.

    #7 Derrick Rose
    First legit superstar of the Bulls on the post MJ era… That definitely sounds good especially to the great basketball fans of the Windy City… But what’s even better or scary (if you ask the opposing teams) is that this guy continues to improve… I wouldn’t be surprised if he overtakes CP3 for the top point guard spot… However, I will still pick Paul over him… For now…

    #8 Deron Williams
    Not nearly as polished as Paul and certainly not as electrifying as Rose… I feel that Deron is a notch lower compared to the other 2 point guards that I mentioned before him… However this doesn’t mean that he’s going to stay there for good… Why??? This dude is more than capable of taking over games due to his size… Plus his leadership ranks among the best in the game today… You can actually juggle Deron, Chris and Derrick when it comes to determining who the best point guard is for this season… But due to the Jazz’ performances so far in the season, I think I’m gonna go with my rankings…

    #9 Carmelo Anthony
    A pure scorer in nature… Everyone would love to have Melo in their team… Just ask Mikhail Prokhorov and the rest of the GMs in the NBA universe… However, he needs to add more in his arsenal for him to be seriously considered a true franchise player… Nevertheless his scoring alone can destroy any opposing team on any given night… Definitely one lethal weapon for any lucky team to end up having him….

    #10 Amar’e Stoudemire
    Standing Tall and Talented… His nickname says it all… A guy standing 6’10” and weighing 240 pounds but can easily move, run, rise, throw down and do pretty much everything n the court… Oh and he defends very well too… Now that he is the uncontested leader of his team, I’m pretty sure he is going to learn and develop some more and eventually get better…

  152. In addition, here’s what I believe are the Top 10 NBA Players of all time:

    1) Michael Jordan
    2) Kobe Bryant
    3) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

    5) Magic Johnson
    6) Larry Bird
