you should change the title. But as for your list not bad. I can’t see any way josh smith is a top 20 player. I’ll take Pau Gasol over him just off the top of my head.

Durant at 10?

I disagree , sorry.

Kobe
Lebron
Wade
Durant
Paul
Roy
Melo
Howard
Nowitzki
D-Will
Nash
Duncan
Johnson
Bosh
Rondo
Granger
Ellis
Pierce
Stoudamire
Iguodala
Garnett
Billups
Jefferson
Lopez
Gasol

Honestly, i find it incredibly hard to pick a top 25, the top 10-15 are what I think for sure, but I find it very hard to pick the top 25 in such a great league.

when making a top 25 or whatever list you have to remember to consider bigmen, it is really easy to only put perimeter guys because they do most of the highlights and have more skill.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

1. Kobe Bryant – The most complete player in the world… The best closer… Most competitive, focused and hardest worker. I see no reason to move him down a spot yet.

2. LeBron James – He’s a freak of nature, so he’s able to dominate even though he has a few holes in his game. He’ll have to take the top spot from Kobe, because Kobe’s not giving it up willingly.

3. Dwayne Wade
4. Chris Paul
5. Carmelo Anthony
—————————–
6. Dirk Nowitzki
7. Brandon Roy
8. Kevin Durant – Moving up the list very quickly.
9. Tim Duncan – Still a top ten player.
10. Deron Williams
—————————–
11. Steve Nash
12. Yao Ming – When healthy… I think he’s the best center in the NBA. He rebounds, defends and you can run an offense through him. Offensively… He’s the most complete center in the world.
13. Pau Gasol
14. Dwight Howard – Dominant rebounder and defensive player, but can he get his team a bucket when they need him to? Can they run the offense through him consistently? NO. He gets most of his points off of putbacks, etc. Have you seen his passing out of the double team? Atrocious.
15. Chris Bosh
——————————–
16. Joe Johnson – Has all of the tools to be the 3rd best two guard, but he’s not as clutch in the 4th as Kobe, D. Wade or B. Roy.
17. Paul Pierce – A complete player, who’s still one of the best closers in basketball.
18. Chauncey Billups
19. Danny Granger – Is he better than Pierce? No… Not yet. He doesn’t put the ball on the floor as well and can be over reliant on the 3-pointer. I think he’s a number two option on a championship caliber team.
20. Kevin Garnett – Everybody knows he’s sacrificing his numbers in Boston. When healthy… We know what he brings to the table.
——————————–
21. Tony Parker
22. Rajon Rondo – 59% free-throw shooter from the point guard spot is unacceptable, but he’s a top 25 player.
23. Zach Randolph – Surprised? Don’t be. This season… He’s moved into the top 25.
24. Carlos Boozer
25. Amare Stoudemire – Dynamic/athletic face up forward/center, but where’s his back to the basket game? Can he get me ten rebounds? Where’s the defense?

tezo best list

[NYK2010Participant]

Most of Tezo’s list I agree with,
I think Lebron is number 1 now though and Durant maybe ahead of Roy by a lil.
Also drop Billups down a few spots.
