mcgrady is my favorite player, lebron is my second favorite, but i would have to say lebron is the best overall player in the NBA right now. he can make great passes. make steals and block shots. he can drive to the hoop anytime he wants because of his power and can hit a nice range shot. plus he is soooooo fun to watch because of his dunks. he also averages around 25-7-7. so lebron is the best. no, i seriously doubt that lebron will ever win a championship, ilgauskas is good, but not good enough to help lebron james carry the cavs to become a NBA championship calibur team. larry hughs has medical problems and probably will not be able to play for the remainder of this season and after he returns from his injuries, he still will not be as good of a player as he was when he was in washington with the wizards. drew gooden is a very inconsistant player and will not be able to contribute much to his team against all the good power forwards in the game today. such as kevin garnett, and tim duncan.

Yeah, I think he's the next great center looking at him right now.  I was just watching last nights game.  Check it out, this kid just came out of high school a year ago, and he's actually dominating games.  Right now he's doing damn good!!!  \n\nIf u watched last night, he is really good defensively, got about 3 blocks.  But what no one takes to notice is that he changes the shot of other opposing players.  And he gives a great presence down low.  \n\nAs an offensive player, he's really improving on his post moves and should get better since he's working with one of the greatest Centers, Kareem Abdul Jabar.  He has some flaws in his offensive game, but Kareem can definitely help him there.  His free throw percentage is great for a Center compared to last season.  Last night he went somethin like 9/10 from the line.  \n\nAll I have to say is watch out.  The next greatest Center is coming out of L.A.  Andrew Bynum!!  Watch the fuck out!!

Being from Lexington and going to UK and being a huge UK basketball fan, i say absolutly. He is a strong asset to our team and he inspires the younger players to push themselves to their full potential. I couldnt disagree more about losing Tubby. Hes a great coach and UK fans support him all the way.

i do, I think he is awsome????????

Well, let's see..... he can jump really high. Or maybe it's because he doesn't miss any shots. No, that can't be it. Perhaps, he's the best because he won slam dunk contests. Plus he pioneered the long baggy shorts. No, no, no....I think I got it:  ITS BECAUSE ESPN SAYS SO !!!!  Yeah, thats it.\n\nSeriously, sorry to break it to you folks, but Michael Jordan is not the best player of all time. There is no legitimate argument, period. He might be one of the most exciting players to watch, but in terms of all around talent, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are far and away much better. \n\nThe reason some people say Jordan is the best is because there has been no athlete in the past two decades who has been more over-hyped, more promoted, and more marketed than Michael Jordan. He could not possibly live up to those standards. Between movies, shoes, cereal boxes, fast food and everything else he's advertised, who hasn't heard of Michael Jordan ? \n\nHe came along at just the right time. David Stern became commissioner and heavily marketed the NBA to corporate America. What better face to put on it but Jordan. He played a flashier style of b-ball, be was polite and accesible to writers and fans. In other words, he was family friendly. But he played for the lowly Chicago Bulls.\n\nSo maybe if we increased the number of playoff teams from 12 to 16, the Bulls might make the playoffs and we can have Michael on t.v. more. And maybe if we added a slam dunk contest to the all-star game, people can see even more of Michael. Plus, we now have a 24 hour sports channel so nobody can possibly miss his high flying dunks and acrobatic moves.\n\nNow, I 'm not trying to take anything away from Jordan. He was a great player FOR HIS TIME. He had great talent and was exciting to watch. But as far as dominating the league, that didn't happen until Bird and Magic had gone and the league expanded to 27 and 29 teams, thereby depleting the talent pool.

He's a monster...  I never really seen a guy who is a 20/20 threat every night like he is (points/rebounds).  That's very rare and he is only 20 years old.  If he continues at the pace he's at, he will soon be put in the company of guys like Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, in addition to Shaq.

Okay I think the kids got great potential and his having an outbreaking season. However, I don't think he's an all-star. Think about it, there are bunch of other SGs in the nba that are better than him. Kobe Bryant, Jason Richardson, Ray Allen, Manu Ginobli, Tracy Mcgrady, Vince Carter, Richard Hamilton, Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade, etc. I'd take any of these guards over Kevin Martin. But don't get me wrong, he's a good player. But I don't think he's quite there at an allstar level. In the future however, I think he'll be an allstar and great player. Only time will tell, but right now he looks to be great.

He's definately got a lot of talent.  Size, speed, athletic ability, he needs to polish up his offensive game a little, like  his jump shot, and low post moves, but he's going to be an all star for years.  If he polishes up his game the guy will be unstoppable and he's young.

yes why ask he has the record to show it he can come off a screen and make it on the run he can take a dribble or 2 and drain it comin from a bigg JJ fan i would say yes he hit a 34 footer agaist someone the other day it said on espn it was a long shot. he's awsome and the best 3 shooter in the ncaa noone can shoot as good as him off the screen

He can dunk, but Andre Igoudala got ripped off in the dunk contest last year, he frickin' dunked it from behind the hoop, when Nate robinson does that, then I'll give him props, but until then he's just a cocky short guy.
