Here’s my list. Enjoy!
10. Derrick Rose, PG, Bulls
If it weren’t for Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls wouldn’t have been among the East’s elite right now. Rose has got a lot on his back with a strong winning-record and right now the number-one MVP-choice currently from many. He is averaging 24.4 points and eight assists, even without key big man Joakim Noah.
9. Chris Paul, PG, Hornets
Chris Paul has been playing solid for the New Orleans Hornets and is the only reason the team is still in the city. He is averaging 16.5 points, about ten assists, and four rebounds for them. Paul is the only reason this team is in the playoff hunt and is rolling over many teams. Paul is simply just amazing, that’s it.
8. Amare Stoudemire, PF, Knicks
Amare Stoudemire is simply awesome this season. He has proven that he can play great without a solid point guard like he has had for his whole career with Steve Nash. But with the Knicks, Stoudemire is the man. He is rolling and is in the MVP race, averaging about 26 points, nine rebounds, and three assists per game. What a player.
7. Deron Williams, PG, Jazz
Deron Williams is the only reason the Utah Jazz have been so awesome and getting upset victories over the top teams throughout the season. He is easily the best point guard in the league. He is having by far the best season of his career, already averaging a career-high of about 22 points, ten assists, and four rebounds.
6. Carmelo Anthony, SF, Nuggets
Carmelo Anthony is a solid player. He has been leading the Denver Nuggets basically all by himself for most of his career, and can’t find success. As Chauncey Billups came, the Nuggets made it to the Western Conference Finals, but fell to the Los Angeles Lakers. That is the closest they have ever came and that’s it. Anthony wants to move. He is still playing pretty well, averaging 25 points, about eight rebounds, and three assists.
5. Dwight Howard, C, Magic
Dwight Howard is just awesome, isn’t he? Howard has been doing awesome with the Magic, averaging 22.4 points and about 14 rebounds per game. He also 2.2 blocks per game to go along with it. He’s done awesome for the Magic, and was just short of giving the their first ring. But they are still questions remaining if he can be a true superstar and lead the team all by himself.
4. Kevin Durant, SF, Thunder
And that is where Kevin Durant comes in. Durant can lead a team by himself to a championship. Look at what he did in the FIBA Worlds, leading them and breaking all the records. Durant was the scoring leader last season, the youngest ever to do it. Now in his third season, he is still ballin’, averaging about 29 points per game — leading the league — and about seven rebounds with about three assists.
3. Dwyane Wade, SG, Heat
Dwyane Wade, in my opinion, is the closest thing to Michael Jordan. He can put up those giant numbers and play like him more than LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. Many experts agree. Wade has now got help and can get more than one ring. With Chris Bosh and LeBron James, Wade can really put more damage now. He is currently averaging 25.2 points, about seven rebounds, and 4.4 assists.
2. LeBron James, SF, Heat
LeBron James has the potential to become the best player to ever play in the NBA. He can play any position. He can play point guard, wing, and big. He’s done all of those positions in his career. He is the most athletic player, being an All-Star football player as well in high school. Many talk about that if he still played football, he could be one of the more dominant receivers or tight ends in the league. The funny thing is that he hasn’t hit his prime. At 26, he’s in the prime age now and entering it strong. James is currently averaging 26 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists. If he takes huge advantage of his prime, he can be the best player ever, hands down. And once the next guy on this list starts slowing down, since he is aging, James will be noted as the best player then.
1. Kobe Bryant, SG, Lakers
Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba. Simply just amazing. Just look up his resume and you can see why he is continuously compared to Michael Jordan. Bryant is a killer on the court and is just — wow. Even at his old age, he is still balling hard; averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and about five assists.
So that is my list. Agree, disagree? What’s your opinion?
