List your 4 Favorite Current NBA Players - not necessarily the best guys in the league, but the guys you like to watch and like to see succeed.

Brian Cardinal - 4 years in the NBA, 4 different teams. He kept getting signed because of his attitude and hustle - and then stepped up last year in GS when he had a chance and earned a huge contract with Memphis. A classy guy who plays the game the right way and is a tremendous role model. DAMMIT - pic link doesn't work anymore and somebody bumped the thread to page one.EDIT: new pic

Andre Kirilenko - this guy is just straight up talented. If he played in New York, the league would be pushing him as a star.

Lebron James - the future of the league (at least the non-big men) whose only misstep under all the scrutiny and hype was to hang with AI in the Olympics and show up late to a practice. This guy is crazy skilled and fun to watch - a sure-fire superstar.

Reggie Miller - still around, still a great team leader, one of the greatest shooters ever - would love to see him get a ring.

still a Kobe fan after Katelyn, Shaq, Phil...?

1. Michael Finley - Very underrated IMO. Lead the Mavs for years even while Nowitzki was there and never complained about his role being reduced. Plays very unselfish ball and is an explosive scorer. I love his game.

2. Shawn Marion - I knew this guy was going to be incredible when he played at UNLV. He can jump out of the gym and throw it down with the best of them. He's a 5 category guy who does everything for you.

3. Ben Wallace - Embodies everything that the NBA should be. He's personable, exciting, he's likeable, he's a team player, and he is a defensive monster. He's the last guy in the NBA that I'd **** with outside of Shaq and he plays for my team the champion Detroit Pistons.

That's it. I only really have three favorites. I guess Shaq Diesel, Kevin Garnett, Stevie Franchise, and Ray Allen tie for fourth.

Big Ben(class guy who is one hard worker and seems to be liked by everyone.

Dirk Nowitzki( Had kind of a slump last year but will snap out of it tis year)


Tim Duncan(another one of the good guys who keeps a constant smile on his face like a happy little kid)


Carlos Boozer(Duke boy who is a hard worker and a better NBA player than people thought he would be) He should have been played more on the olympic team.

1) Amare Stoudemire- Flat out freak. ROY out of High School. Has gotten better and better every year he's been in the League. Make no mistake about it Amare was the best big man in that draft not Yao Ming.

I got love for Marion. He's very good, but he's just not a favorite of mine.

I like Phoenix this year. Very talented and scrappy. Nash was a big addition...now Joe Johnson can do what he's supposed to do.

K.G. #21
T.D. #21
K.B. #8
J.K. #5

these are my favorite players in the N.B.A.

Yao

Garnett
Tayshaun (Kevin McHale for the new millenium)

1. Baron Davis
2. Paul Pierce
3. Mike Bibby
4. Kevin Garnet

1. Dirk Nowitzki
2. Darius Miles (bought his Cleveland shirt half a month before he got traded to Portland)
3. DeSagana Diop (cheering for every second hes on the court)
4. Kevin Garnett (just a joy to watch)

I hate it when a player is good, but no one wants to keep him. For example Jalen Rose. The guy has played 1-3 in his career, and yet he continues to get traded around..

T-Mac

Duncan

Big Ben

Marbury

Hey Sonny you really made out on that Rahman fight eh? Feel free to donate to the poor mans foundation. :D

I like guards, and more specifically little guys. Around 6'2. LOL. Little.

Dwyane Wade has to be one of the funnest players to watch.

Hey Jose... Houston had to go with Yao.. with all lthe big name power forwards and not forgetting SHAQ on the west coast, houston had to take a center.. besides these kids coming straight out of high school are not always promising.. look at that one kid from Washington who got drafted #1 i beleive in 2001(damn.. i forgot his name).. Gotta admit.. Amare shocked the sh*t out of me last year... hellavu baller but Yao has been consistent... Houstons offense was built around TMac and Steve Francis... Yao had rarely touched the ball but when he did, he made 55% of his shots.. Houston made the right choice... Amare kicks ass tho...

Kwame Brown..

Kwame Brown..

lol

that was a joke, right?

Ben Wallace
Dwayne Wade
T-Mac
Kobe

....but were you a fan back in the day of Byrd, McHale, Ainge, Parrish, Dennis Johnson, Bill Walton, et al????

lol

that was a joke, right?

I wasn't calling him great. I was giving the guy who said he forgot his name his name. (Read the post above that one.) Kwame is a disappointment, though.

Sometimes you give bizarre answers...I thought maybe we were going to show love for #1 picks that went bust. I was going to say Pervis Ellison

How 'bout the guy that plays the biggest my man Earl Boykins( Spud and Mugsy who) imagine if this cat had height on his side, scary.... Second gotta go w/ Jesus wears 34 for the Sonics, also like K.G. and King James that Flaker from out west don't even come close.
