~West~\nForwards: Ron Artest, because half of the NBA fears him and the other half should. \nKevin Garnett, because he can do it all. \nGuards: Tracy McGrady because he is unstoppable from anywhere on the court.\nChris Paul, because he has to be one of the best point guards in the west. \nCenter: Yao Ming, what I saw all ready this year from Yao, he is defiantly the best center in the league.\n\n~East~\nForwards: Lebron James, did you see him so far this year, because if you haven't then i feel sorry for you because he is just phenomenal.\nEmeka Okafor, he is better than he was a year ago and is developing into one of the best players in the league.\nGuards: Micheal Redd, Leads the league in scoring with 31.3 points per game, has a .503 FG pecentage, and he got the NikeBasketball.com Baller of the Week.\nAllen Iverson, deserves it sence he did get all-star MVP last Year.\nCenter: Dwight Howard, If you ask me, i think the kid is the next Kevin Garnett.\n\nThe write in I choose Kevin Martin, of the Sacromento Kings because he has proved to everyone that he should be an all-star.

This is a tough one to answer, as there are many NBA superstars that are good, but if I had to buy five NBA players, it would be Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Lebron James. Nash is a proven MVP, Bryant has the ability to take over games (even if people think it's selfish), Garnett has been an all-around player year after year, Duncan can still play an all-around game, and LeBron is a proven superstar that could get better by the year.

Except 4 Kobe, they are:\nIverson, James, Pierce, Nowitzki and Garnett, because they have an ability to either lead a team or help team score, rebound the ball,etc.\nU can add Ben Wallace, J. O'neal ,Nash and Wade to the list, too. They are, also, very good players.

Current NBA:\n\nPG: Chauncey Billups\n\nIt was a tought choice between him and Steve Nash as they are both having break-out seasons and they are both the center around which their teams function. But Chauncey edges it with his clutch play.\n\nSG: Kobe Bryant\n\nSay what you want about him: selfish, surly and overcompetetive, but he has been completely unstoppable all season long. He had almost single handedly carried the Lakers. Dwayne Wade may be talented but Kobe has taken it to a new level.\n\nSF: Lebron James \nHe is having an absolutely standout year leading the Cavaliers and filling up just about every statistical category. He deserves the recognition. Paul Pierce is having a standout year as well, but nothing compared to Lebron.\n\nPF: Dirk Nowitski \n\nI know he plays SF for Dallas but I think that this is more of his natural position. Dirk is impossible to defend - too quick for most power forwards, the big for most small forwards. He has been pure class for the Mavericks this year. Kevin Garnett is having a very solid season but his team is struggling. Tim Duncan has been hampered by his dodgy ankle. Elton Brand is probably the closest competition to Dirk.\n\nCenter: Yao Ming\n\nThe fact that Yao can win in this position goes to show the lack of quality centers in the league. Ben Wallace deserves a mention for his tremendous defensive abilities, but he is probably only the 3rd best player on the Piston team and he doesn't have enough offensive skills. Shaq hasn't been healthy enough this season, and is not as dominant as he once was. Yao however, has really improved this year, especially in the past two months. I thought of putting Duncan or Brand in this spot as they probably deserve it more, but it is undeniable that they aren't true centers, so it is Yao Ming almost by default.

#5 has to be Steve Nash because ,"even when he could have the spotlight to himself, he passed!!!" Steve Nash is the best cause last time a checked he was MVP the last two seasons so im really suprised why he isnt #1.Steve Nash has to be #5 even though he should be #1, u ppl are wack since top sports analysts voted him as MVP!!\n\n\n\nCHECK OUT THIS CLIP, AND TELL ME WHY HE SHOULDNT BE #5 or even #1, and wow for wade being picked #2 when he has shaq and nash is doing it all without amare. \n\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3513801106699117240&q=Steve+Nash+Commercial
