PF/ C (combining the two because PF is the NBA's deepest position and no centers besides Shaq and Ben Wallace deserve to be on this list

1. Tim Duncan- Keeping Lebron's spot warm as the best in the NBA

2. Shaquille O'Neal- the most dominating player in the NBA

3. Kevin Garnett- would probably be #1 at any other position

4. Dirk Nowitski- while he doesn't get as much recognition as Duncan and KG, is as good as either one of them

5. Jermaine O'Neal

6. Elton Brand

7. Chris Bosh- the forgotten one from the 2003 draft class

8. Shawn Marion

9. Ben Wallace- on the list solely for his defense

10. Chris Webber- like Kobe and Ron Artest, would be higher if he weren't a cancer

So Brevin Knight over Chauncey Billups?

 

Knight: 8.3 APG/ 2.4 SPG

Billups: 8.5 APG/ 0.7 SPG

Knight has almost as many assists per game with a weaker group of players to pass to, but a lot more steals

Melo's better then Rashard Lewis....

 

AI's definately better then Kobe.....If you put points involved together AI averages less points but assists in more baskets thereby making him more valuable and better.

Hinrich will be in the elite group by next year.. hes moving up the list very fast. Has been playing awesome since he went to full time PG and Gordon replaced Duhon in starting lineup. Hinrich is also of the best perimeter defenders in the league already. Other than Billups, Nash, Kidd and probably Parker, I wouldn't trade him for any other PG in the league.

 

 

Knight over Billups is laughable.. the guy could be the MVP of the league.

 

Paul Pierce is being ranked too high.. I think he's so overrated but thats just me.

Paul Pierce is having an amazing year, best of his career by far.

 

I want to argue in favor of Chris Bosh, but jeez PF is stacked.

I can't believe you Mays called Webber a cancer......I'm beginning to think your such a homer that it blinds you from actually making a good opinion. Webber's been nothing but great for the Sixers this season.

give it time...everywhere he's gone, he's been a problem...at Golden St. the only guy on the team he got along with was Latrell Sprewell...doesn't that say it all? He lasted one year here helped the team, but then got into a hissyfit and demanded a trade, singlehandly destroying the franchise for over a decade...Washington same thing...he played four years there, but didn't get along with is teammates at all...they wound up trading him to Sacramento, where the cycle repeated itself all over again

It's just a matter of time before the same thing happens in philly...I bet a year ago you would say the same thing to me if I referred to TO as a cancer

that is a good list, but if you are going pure talent I go Garnett over Duncan. If you are counting championships then yeah Duncan gets teh nod over him.

could a point be made that McGrady is better then Lebron? Neither of them play defense and McGrady does better in some catagories over Lebron. and if you wanna put winning into a factor McGrady was amazing last year in the playoffs.

As for the NBA point guard rankings, the best way to analyze PGs is simple...just add up their assists and steals, and you have the most accurate way of ranking point guards

Rankings APG:

1. Steve Nash 11.5/ 0.9/ 12.4

2. Jason Kidd 7.9/ 2.1/ 10.0 (moved him up for having the best career accomplishments)

3. Baron Davis 9.2/ 1.7/ 10.9

4. Brevin Knight 8.3/ 2.4/ 10.7

5. Chris Paul 7.3/ 2.2/ 9.5 (moved him up since he has the brightest upside)

6. Andre Miller 8.5/ 1.2/ 9.7

7. Chauncey Billups 8.5/ 0.7/ 9.2

8. Luke Ridnour 6.2/ 1.7/ 7.9

9. Kirk Hinrich 6.6/ 1.1/ 7.7

10. T.J. Ford 6.5/ 1.2/ 7.7

removed from the list for being more of a 2 guard:

Allen Iverson 7.4/ 2.1/ 9.5

Gilbert Arenas 6.2/ 1.8/ 8.0

removed from the list for being a cancer:

Stephon Marbury 6.9/ 1.4/ 8.3

So only assists and steals?

 

PGs who can rebound and score don't count as anything?

 

What a joke.
