Why don't you write to Michael Jordan and ask him....

Get Ben Wallace from Detroit.  He's disgruntled with Flip Saunders, and he'd love Kidd who'll work to get him easy points (dunks) under the basket.  Plus you can them move Kristic over to the forward position, his more natural position.  That'd make for a great team: Carter, Kidd, Jefferson, Kristic, Big Ben.  Wow.

DUMP ISAIAH.\n\nKeep Larry Brown!\n\nGet rid of some of the cancers they have, like Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and other mediocre jokes.\n\nEnd the cycle of mediocrity and go after talented players aggressively. I'm not talking about scoring machines, I'm talking about players who excel at one or more skills, like blocking, threes, whatever. The Knicks have too many NAMES and not enough guys who have proven themselves to be winners.\n\nThey need to build a TEAM. Trade away Francis to someone desperate and get a couple of decent role players in return...Marbury...same thing, retain Channing Frye...\n\nIsaiah is just a total clown at running a basketball team. I hear he's a megalomaniac, and I can see it at play in this situation. He's stark raving lazy, and for a ex-NBA player from the good days, he's lousy at building a team. \n\nLarry Brown is the best thing to ever happen to the Knicks. Keep him and dump Thomas, PLEASE! That owner needs to GO! \n\nHell, even David Stern and other league officials want to intervene! It's just gotten so terrible! This is a top market, and it's killing the NBA when the Knicks are in the basement! Stern probably threatened to help move the Nets into Brooklyn and the Knicks owner waved him off! Who the hell is the guy that owns the Knicks, and how retarded is he?

1.  Put things in perspective.  You're playing a game.  You won't remember what happens in this game in 10 years one way or another. And remember, people don't really care who/when there is a screw up.  And besides, screw other people in the stands.  Who cares what they think?  What's the worst and most embarrassing thing that can happen?  You miss a breakaway layup?  Who cares... happens in the NBA sometimes too.\nDon't fear failure.  If you aren't failing sometimes, you're not challenging yourself enough.\n\n2.  Imagine yourself making the big play.  Daydream.  Sounds silly, but it helps.\n\n3.  Hustle.  You'll make positive things happen when you do, and that's the one thing you have complete control over.  Some days, you're going to play terribly.  Sometimes, you may even be a big reason your team loses.  Happens to everyone.  But if you hustle, you're likely doing more than at least a few others on the court and you'll likely do a few more things to help your team out.

Your main goal when you play is to win the NBA Championship, so unfortunately players feel that they can keep changing teams until they are on one that can win. Thats why you must have more respect for players like Shaq who will go anywhere and still win

shoot the ball 1000 times every day, work on your passing.  also you got to be smart, if your a shooting guard your probably smaller than most other players so you have to make up for your size by shooting and being smarter than the other players.

i play high school basketball in NYC every time i try out for a team theres always good competition. what you should do is work on your conditioning because that's the first thing a coach looks at. also you have to walk in the gym like you really want to play and your focus has to be on point. try to outplay and out hustle your opponent that's key when your trying out because a coach always wants to see a player who can hustle up and down the court.

I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)

I am with you on the younger players.The NBA fan of today has the media to thank for hyping all the young guys in the NBA.Back in the day,You actually had to go to games to see the stars then as there was no such thing as ESPN,etc,etc.The younger generation get all jacked up over someone who can dunk a basketball,or score 81 points in a game,Big deal.What they dont get is that B-Ball is a TEAM Sport,not an individual one.All of the "Old School" guys had to pay their dues because they were'nt subject to the World Wide Media Frenzy we have today.I will say that in my opinion for what its worth that Oscar Robertson was the best all-around player ever.The man averaged a Triple-Double for his Entire career.Kobe in all his greatness,or self-appointed greatness as it were,Will never be the player of Oscars caliber.I know I'll probably hear it from Laker Fans,but Tell me how many Rings he has since Shaq Smartened up?Zero,and will be the same amount untill he gets the Team concept which will never happen.All for now,good question by the asker.

how can allen iverson not be in the conversation. he is only the greatest small guy in the history of the game. if allen iverson was 6'6" he would be better than any player in this league cause no one has more heart and determination to get to the basket. he may not be the best teammate as far as getting everyone involved but look at the talent level he has had around him. Its been non existant. And besides u asked the best players in the NBA individually not the best teammate

well first off. to be a center in the NBA you have to be at least 6'10 and above. do you know anyone above 6'10??\n\nit's hard to find ppl that are 6'10 and above. Gather all the 6'10 and above players..then filter the ones out that DONT pla y basketball. You have very few...then filter the ones that REALLY suck. Then you have VERY VERY few left. That's why. It's rare to find someone 6'10 and above..then even more rare to find someone that plays well at 6'10 and above.\n\nThere are more players that are 6foot even than 6'10 players. with that said, more skilled players can be found  in the 6'0 area than the 6'10 area. Plus, you're comparing these centers against the best in the world. They are playing in the world's most elite league. Put those centers such as Luc Longely type players in a league in Italy or in an Arab league..then they'd probably be a top contender. You also have to remember.. even if they're not REALLY REALLY GOOD..you have to remember they got into the NBA for a reason. Those who dont get into the NBA play overseased..n there's many of them.

I would meet Dwyane Wade...he is one of the best players in the league..he not only has determination but he has drive and skillz that will lead the Miami Heat to Victory..he is one of my inspirations to playing basketball along with some other talented Players!! He has only been in the NBA a little while now but he has clearly proved that he will be a player that will be remembered decades to come!! Oh yeh and of course who can deny his good looks?? lol....!!

well first of all it depends on what kind of league ur in.\nhead to head or rotiser. once you know that u gotta understand how to win in each. but these are some guidelines to drafting\n\nif your in the top 5 pick a star who you can ride throught the season. \n\nmake sure you get a quality Center as they are hard to come, and a quality pg. there are many of them, but some have horrible turnovers or fg percent and jack the 3 to much. so get a quality pg\n\nyou also need a flat out scorer like ray allen, redd, j-rich arena's the top scores will be taken, but someone who can put up 25 30 on any given night is key.\n\nremember you dont have to go in that order center pg scorer, just get the best possible person and look to take a chance like if you feel no will will pick up lets say mike bibby till the 4th round take him then, and get a better scorer. \n\nmost importantly remember this conversation\na steal in the nba is worth 10 points and a block is worth 7 points. i say this cause any person can average 30 to 20 points in a game, but the average steal is little less then 2, and blocks is little less then 3. so if you have lets say ak47 or ron artest who will get you like 1.5 steals and 2 blocks a game and still get you 20 points and 8 reboundsa i would take him him over a ray allen who gets you 26 points 3 threes and like 2 steals. \n\nand last pick players you like, i am a raptor fan and i hate what vince carter did to my team. so neva in the 3 years ive played fantasy have i traded for or drafted for that bitch carter.\n\nenjoy the season\nand then look for the best players availble.

Relax, and take a deep breath. You have practiced all season for this and now it will pay off. This is something you can do, otherwise you wouldn't have made it this far. Picture in your mind your team making every shot perfectly, playing excellent defense and winning the tournament. Remeber, cliched as it may sound, If you can concieve it and believe it, you can achieve it.

I totally agree with you! When you think of NBA "Greats", who is it you think of first? MICHAEL JORDAN--not Dwayne Wade..! I am in no way putting the man down (he is one HECK of a basketball player), but it is waaayyy too early in his career to tell! Michael Jordan was a legacy almost immediately, but it was AFTER he retired (for the last time) that he became a legend! Let Dwayne grow and age, and maybe in a few years we'll know for sure whether he can be compared to MJ....! =)

Start watching Vince Carter, he can shoot well, and drive to lane great. And he is a Shooting Guard. You can learn a lot watching him. Good Luck on making the team.
