    Is this going to be the Olympic lineup?
    The only thing that would change is Paul in for Rose, so they can bring Rose off the bench as a change of pace back if you will. I think Rose should start, but I feel like he, Melo and K Love off the bench would be a great scoring threesome for Team USA.

    Either Way, Team USA is back to Dream Team status. Rose will probably come off the bench though so he can lay waste to all those white boys

    i think its pretty easy.

    1. Lebron 2. Kobe

    Durant, Howard, Rose

    You cant leave Kobe off this list.

    I understand so many of you all hate kobe, and want to pretend he isnt the best, but he is.

    1) Lebron James
    2) Chris Paul
    3) Kevin Durant
    4) Kobe Bryant
    5) Derrick Rose
    6) Dwayne Wade

    - If Howard improved his FT shooting to the point where he actually became dangerous at the line (currently 49%), and improved his assist/turnover ratio a little, he could challenge for the top 5.

    - Kyle Lowry is about as complete of a player as you can find. He's going to be a top 5 player before long.

    And Jeremy Lin even being mentioned in this thread is hilarious. Oh, and I'm a die-hard Knicks fan and I have been since I was 8 years old. Jeremy Lin is more than likely not even worthy of being a starting PG in the NBA, although he could end up proving that wrong. Either way, he's not even CLOSE to being an all-star. So to put him on a top 5 or 10 players in the world list makes you look like a ******* idiot.

    Some of you really need to read up on the game of basketball. You're embarrassing yourselves.

    Who could cover Lin when he beat the Lakers? Was he better than Kobe? Could Kobe stop him? Absolutely NOT.

    Your opinion I always respect, doesn't matter which board you post it on, but Rondo?
    I never got all the love for Rondo, he's a nice player, yes, but IMO nowhere near an elite.

    Kobe has lost a step..he is still very very good. Question, is Lebron really number one as some have said..OR...is his hype and what we think of him leads us to put him number 1 ?

    Not the 2012 Kobe..........no. Well, unless we're talking late in the 4th when LeBron turns into LeChoke. Kobe is nowhere near the Kobe that could explode to the basket or hit a jumper as in years past. Today's Kobe gives you a series a head fakes and a few ball pumps.....then usually fires up a fall away jumper and/or draws the foul. But, Kobe still has the killer instinct......and ice water in his veins.......that allows him to succeed. Still a viable star in this league.

    Howard (defense wins, and he is probably the most dominant defensive player of his era)
    Durant (automatic 2 points whenever you need it)
    James (would easily be 1st if he didn't choke so often)
    Kobe (might have the greatest footwork in NBA history. Most fundamentally sound player in the league. Has more moves then anyone)
    Paul (could probably get even the Bobcats to look like a good team if he played there)

    1) LeBron - he's the best player in the league.
    2) Dwight Howard - the guy is an animal, and with some players that could play could be the new "shaq"
    3) LaMarcus Aldridge - Best PF in the game. He's so smooth and his team has too many jackers, ie Jamaal Crawford to get 30+ a nigh.
    4) Chris Paul - best PG in the game. Can close games and can get everyone involved early in game
    5) Wade - when healthy, the guy can score on anyone. He's second best player on his team, but still insane.

    Kobe isn't on this list bc he makes no one on his team better. He can't win w/o other superstars and is extremely overrated. He shoots 28 shots and scores 30 and people think he's great.

    Durant - no defense. Too many bad shots. Needs to hit the weights and get to the rim.

    Rose - He's very close to top 5, but I'd like to see him carry a great team to the Finals first.

    Westbrook isn't far behind, neither is Rondo. Kyrie Irving will soon be a top 5 PG in the league, maybe top 5. He's going to be just like Rose in two yrs.
