At 6'8", he is incredibly strong and quick, and is arguably the most athletic player in the game today. With rumors of a much improved outside shot, even less defenders will be able to stop him. He continues to be one of the very best scorers in the league despite having a shaky outside shot and freethrow. He is also an elite rebounder, consistantly posting incredible rebounding numbers - often leading the league.Īt the age of 21, LeBron posted a season where he basically averaged 31, 7 and 7. Defensively he is among the very best the league, and his versatility comes into action once again as he can gaurd multiple positions. He can handle the ball as well as anyone his size in NBA history, and is on par with Duncan in terms of getting his teammates involved in the flow of the offence. He has the size of a center and can switch between the skillset of a power forward and small forward at any moment, taking his man of the dribble, pulling up for a long two or using his elite footwork in the post - he can truly do it all. He is a great scorer, and uses his incredible versatility at 7 feet to score on any defender you put on him. With three NBA championships and highest scoring averages since Michael Jordan, Kobe is number 2 on my list. He has the ability to get hsi teammates involved, especially with all the defensive pressure focused on him, but hasn't done that alot lately with such a poor supporting cast. Kobe also provides on the defensive end as one of the best defensive shooting gaurds in the league. He is an athletic freak, and is almost always faster, quicker or stronger than his defender. He has the ability to finish with the best of them, nail his freethrows at a high clip, knock down the three, post up smaller players and score from midrange. Kobe is the the most prolific offensive player in the league today. He may not be the flashiest player or the biggest stat stuffer, but he can dominate every player in the league both offensively and defensively. As a big, the only thing he lacks is the ability to knock down freethrows at a high percentage. Today he will provide you with 20+ points each night, while playing DPOY defence, rebounding almost as well as anyone in the league and get his teammates involved like very few big men can. Coming of his fourth NBA championship, Duncan is a complete winner. Gone are his days of 25/13/4, but he is still the premiere big man, and in my opinion premiere player in the league today.

I probably didnt make sense or self-owned myself ,or gonna get owned by benji or someone else, but yeah, just my $0.02.Ībctest123 Posts: 1610 Joined: Fri 1:25 pm Now I'm not arguing the Iverson is the better shooter compared to Jordan, but just using it as an example. Also add into the fact they played in a different era and had a difference in the types of calls players would get (this sort of makes what I previously said as a moot point, as Iverson plays in a time where handchecks are not allowed and in Jordan's time, it was allowed, making defenses more physical). One can argue that this partially shows how Jordan was better at creating space for himself (bad example) so that he can GET those better looks, but you wouldn't actually know that until you had a chance to WATCH THEM PLAY, as I don't think stats can tell you how well a player can create space for themselves. Iverson is known to be taking ill-advised shots, and Jordan may take his number of ill-advised shots too, but most likely not to Iverson's amount. Sure the percentage tells how Jordan had a higher percentage than Iverson, but how can you tell that Jordan is the better jumpshooter? I mean there's things like difficulty of shots that are being taken that would be taken into account into how often a player can get baskets. Just to bring up some things like your quick Jordan and Iverson jumpshooting percentage thing. I don't have much to say in this thread other than to bring up one point that LakersRule24 sort of did: According to benji, stats can tell the complete story, but what about factors that empirical formulas and math can't put into effect (atleast that I feel they can't), like the level of competition and the like. (keep in mind its 2:15am, and I'm pretty damn tired and I'm also suppose to be doing some Physics homework)
