Who Is Your Favorite NBA Player?

[Lakers4ItAll]

Obviously mine is Kobe....... I have been a fan of his since he got traded to the Lakers for Vlade. At one point in time I had 12 diff Kobe jerseys. I actually just ordered his White USA jersey today.

Lebron James.

[tbakergobuck]

x2 for Lebron James. he's a freak and a player like him only comes around once every 50 -100 years.

[xStriderx]

Kobe Bryant and my close close second is Brandon Roy! I love players who aren't physically blessed with extreme athleticism but have high basketball IQ's, hard work ethic and an all around game.

Kobe Bryant

Brandon Roy, of course.

[AvGas]

Wade

Love him or hate him, right now, Kobe is the best all around player on the planet.

Love him or hate him, right now, Kobe is the best all around player on the planet.So do you love or hate him Kobe? :lol: Kobe might still be the best all around player now but Lebron is damm close and he's only 23 years old.

[xStriderx]

^ Close second right now. Lets see what happens when that pure athleticism wears off and he has begins to show is age.

(Remembers what happened to Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson and Dominique Wilkins)

(Remembers what happened to Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson and Dominique Wilkins)Well Kobe is 7 years older then Lebron. I think Lebron is way above those players in terms of basketball talent even when he can't jump IMO. When did those players start to lose it? In there mid 30's that's over 10 years away for Lebron. Every year Lebron gets better and better and to "me" that's pretty damm scary. Has there ever been a player Lebron's size 6'8 250 solid with his quickness, athleticism and court vision?

Way above Shawn Kemp and Dominique Wilson? That's saying a lot. Those guys are Hall of Famers and Dominique is one of the best players to ever play the game. At one point he was the Jordan of the South if you remember that far back. Shawn Kemp when he came out just like Lebron was full of athelticisim and could move quick for a big man and do everything. Also, if you remember he had endoresments up the ying yang like Lebron does now. Everything one thought he was the new Jesus.

By the way, those guys careers didn't fade in their mid 30's. It was a little before that.

For those who don't remember Shawn Kemp.

Amen...Lebron's my favorite. And I'm not a bandwagoner. I lived in Cleveland before he was drafted and for a couple of years after. I got a little Cleveland in my blood.

For those who don't remember Shawn Kemp.

Man...that's sad, he was great in his time, I feel old now. I live about 30 mi from where he went to high school. He was a great player, and very explosive...really dumb though.

[tbakergobuck]

Didn't Kemp have drug issues? I guess what I'm saying is Lebron is ****ing great at 23 so he's only going to get better. He will win at least a few rings when his time is up. In my 35 years I've watched Jordan do some crazy stuff. A few years back in the playoffs Lebron in game 5 against the Pistons was unbelievable scoring 29 of there last 30 points. I've never seen any player take over a game like Lebron did. I haven't seen Kobe play in person but I have seen Lebron play. If you like b-ball I suggest seeing Lebron play because he really makes it very exciting.

I know I'm off topic but they have a poll question on espn.com asking which player would you pick to win a NBA 1 on 1 Tournament? lol

As of now 117,108 votes
Kobe 34%
Garnett 6%
Lebron 52%
Chris Paul 5%
Other 3%

[xStriderx]

You would be an idiot to bet against Lebron and I hate to say it... Paul Peirce. Their bodies are huge and no one would be able to stop them 1 on 1

Kobe Bryant Sits Down With Magic Johnson
Well it doesn't show the entire video but Kobe said he wants one more Championship then Lebron can take over.
