Tim Duncan. His skill is undeniable, but his personality isn't arrogant or flamboyant. He just gets the job done. He learned from the best, The Admiral, David Robinson. (He's actually my favorite, but I assumed you wanted an active player.)

i like american football, but I love basketball, because, well i don't know why, I am from Kentucky and i guess you are born to love basketball with a passion, and i love it because the game is hard on and physical, because there is no equipment, well no protection against the hardwood floor, or the blows people take to the face, and I love the fights, and basically i love the guys!

Without a doubt it is Dirk Nowitzki, he is a great ball handler, a phenomenal field shooter, a good freethrow shooter, and a great team leader, basically Dirk Nowitzki is an all round player he could almost play any position cause of his major talent! I Luv Dirk, I think/know that he is the best player in the whole NBA!

Pound for Pound, I would have to say Allen Iverson. He is an amazing player for his size and he has great heart. He has a "Never say die" attitude that makes him a competitor. He isn't even six foot tall, and yet he still averages over 30 points a game in a leage that the average height is more around 6'5". He is an all around, truly amazing player. Not to mention my idol!

For me its Kobe Bryant. He is the leading scorer in the NBA right now and he scored 81 points this season! The 2nd Most points in the history of the NBA before Wilt Chamberlain's 100.

I like Shaq although I was not a Lakers fan.\nHe seems like he has a great personality and sense of humour as well as being a great player.\n\nI always say Wilt Chamberlain was the greatest player ever but I didn't really like him very much.\nHe was not a people person and I know someone who met him while he was all alone before a boxing match during the Olympics(after he was retired) and was totally dissolutioned by the way Wilt ignored him.\nHe lost a big fan that day but I'm sure he didn't care.\n\nSome of my favorite players of all time would be Jerry West,Larry Bird,Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.\n\nRobertson and the entire Cincinatti Royals autographed a basketball book for me that was written by Robertson.\n\nThis was after a game against Wilt and the 76er's in Syracuse NY.\nHe was very nice and that is important IMO when you are young and get to meet a star player like he was.\n\nYou always remember the nice guys and the other ones for that matter.\n\nI also met Lou Dunbar of the Globetrotters in the Philly airport 5 years ago and he was a great guy to talk to.

MANU GINOBILI!!!! From the San Antonio Spurs basketball team! He is number 20 (very attractive!) and he is an excellent player!\n\nHis nick-names are Obi-Wan Ginobili, plus a few others\n\nGo Spurs Go!!!

It has to be Michael Jordan. He's remember for all the things he has done. His defense, his winning pose and his ability to stay in the air. Wad more can i add?? His Championship won, the scoring tittle, MVPS, Two three peats NBA Championship. Till now, he is still being idolized by many, also his shoes are still in great sales. that's how great Michael Jordan is. Michael Air Jordan Rocks!

Favorite current player is Peter Forsberg.  I know this is a easy choice, but when you have the best hockey player on the planet on your team, it's kinda hard not to like him.\n\nForsberg is a force and is very talented.\n\nAs for current and the past- I have to go with Ron Hextall.  I was too young for the Cups of Barber, Parent and Clarkey.  Hextall was a great goalie with a huge mean streak.  Gotta love 'em!

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....!!

It has to be Tim Duncan. He is a two time MVP, three time NBA Champion and NBA Finals MVP, and has been elected to the All NBA First team every season he has been in the league. Yet he is a very quiet and humble person who is just an all round fantastic person. He never complains, never takes his team mates for granted, and is a fantastic guy.
