To answer this question correctly, the key phrase is "good chemistry."  To achieve this, you need 4 "go-to-guys" surrounded by other "role players" and athletic big men.  Here are my 12:\n\n1. Lebron James -- Hands down the best all-around player in the league.  He's a no-brainer.\n2. Kobe Bryant -- Another excellent scorer off the dribble with the ability to defend the perimeter.\n3. Dwayne Wade -- Once again, he can just flat out score the basketball and defend.\n4. Allen Iverson -- He might be everyone else's favorite pick, but he's turned into quite the team player these past few years.\n5. Chauncey Billups -- Great floor leader with the ability to keep stars under control\n6. Shawn Marion -- Excellent rebounder and defender with the ability to guard four positions on the court\n7. Amare Stoudemire -- Perhaps the most dominate player in the paint when healthy\n8. Dwight Howard -- Freak of nature who can rebound and defend perimeter post players\n9. Chris Bosh -- Similar to Howard with a great mid-range game\n10. Michael Redd -- Shooters were needed the last time the USA entered international competition\n11. J.J. Redick -- One more shooter.  It's tough to include him on this list, but he's the best I've ever seen.\n12. Greg Oden -- Still in high school, but he gives the US one more athletic big man.  I know I'll take criticism for the fact that he's not proven yet, but if the NBA didn't change their rule, he'd be an NBA player next year.\n\nSo there it is... the last two picks are questionable, as they could be filled with NBA veterans.  However, I feel that this young squad gives the United States the best chance at victory.

i think the weakest dunkers in the NBA today include\n\nallen iverson - he barely gets it in clean without much emphasis or power.\n\nDasagna Diop - it just looks wrong when he dunks\n\nall other true point guards besides baron davis, steve francis, smush parker (they can really throw it down)

lamar odom.  I've always liked him since the day he came into the league.  He's in my opinion one of the top 3 most complete players in the game today.  He can literally do everything on the basketball court. shoot, rebound, dribble, pass, post up, shoot the 3, block shots, and play solid D.

Point Guard: The shotcaller of the offense, he suppost to make his way down the court and set up the play. He is basically the Floor General, he sets up his teammates with the quick dishoff, and try to set them up for some good looks. Usually, the PG is the leader of the team.\n\nShooting Guard: Another player that usually stays on the wing on defense, man to man mostly too, but usually on 2-3 defense where the Shooting Guard and the Point Guard stays on the wings. He is mainly the number one option on Fast Breaks, just like the Small Forward is another option as well. He is the guy that can make impacts to your squad. Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Dwyane Wade, and Allen Iverson are all Shooting Guards that do this..they make big impacts in a way other positions can, but can't. They sometimes make the outcome of the game more worthy, and can be a leader just as much as the Point Guard too. However, they rarely bring up the ball, or set up the play like Point Guards.\n\nSmall Forward: Another example of a fast break player that can get up the court, quickly, and make some good angles at penetrating inside on the defense. Mainly a defensive minded player just like the Power Forward, just not as big as a PF. The Small Forward is like the Shooting Guard. Just maybe an inch or two taller. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Paul Pierce, Bruce Bowen, James Posey, and Antoine Walker are some examples of Small Forwards in today's game.\n\nPower Forward - Main key to his game is to stay down low most of the time, set up picks, take the ball and use force to get to the basket and not charge at the defensive player. Some are finese, and some of the best players in today's game are Power Forwards. It takes strength to be a forward, you have to use a good balance of finese and power  like said. They grab rebounds strong and swings their elbows out at defenders to clear them away to make some space on the defensive boards, and give it off to the Point Guard to make a run at a fast break attempt or just slowly but momentumly take the ball up the court. Some examples are Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Udonnis Haslem, Tim Thomas, Rasheed Wallace, and Boris Diaw.\n\nCenter - Their main purpose is not usually the offensive side, but can easily be effective by using them as an option on offense, they are similar to Power Forwards because they also set up picks and grab clear of rebounds. They should be much stronger than Power Forwards at using body space to clear a path, but they don't really need to, they should have enough body on them to break off the defender and give the ball off to the Point Guard. They are effective to give the ball down low, and kick it out to a wing player (i.e the guards) for a quick 3,also works off the screen, or drawing in defensive players while backing down, looking like he is going to attack the basket strong.\n\nSeems like the other answers did not give enough in-depth, so I am glad to help. I've watched basketball through so many years, the Magic Johnson era, then the MJ era. People call me "The NBA Guru." And i've been a writer for so long now.

The shortest player in the league right now is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets he is 5'5" but he is African American.  The next shortest guy is Yuta Tabuse he is Japanese and he is 5'9".  There is like a 15 guy tie for white guys at 6'1".  I hope this helps.  Take care.

Best player is LBJ. The best dunker officially is Nate Robinson. But other than that...look at what VC has done. Thrown the ball of the shot clock in a game. People are scared to do that in a dunk compitition

well see, allen iverson, kevin garnett, and vince carter all have their own specialties and skill level. while allen iverson plays at the point guard level, garnett and carter play at the foward position. allen iverson can shoot, distribute, and handle the ball well. kevin garnett can post up very well and play down low,while vince carter can shoot and dunk well. vince carter seems to have the most highlights because of his many air skills, alot like michael jordan since he can shoot too. allen iverson is very phenomenal too because of his ankle breaking. kevin garnett is just huge and very talented. so i'd go with allen iverson as the better of the three.
