1.Jason Kidd-makes his team and the players around him better. A great triple double threat. The best assist man on the league right now. He also gets rebounds and steals. A true point guard at his best.

1.Tracy Mcgrady-one of the better defenders at this position. A great passer and play maker for a shooting guard. Keeps his teammates involved yet he scores his 20+ pts. A good rebounder too. A triple double threat on a given night.

2.Gary Payton-If it was two years ago or even last year I would have said Payton over Kidd but age is taking a effect on GP. He's better defender than Kidd, but not as a good passer but still one of the better ones in the league. He has more offensive game than Kidd. But Kidd is a better play maker.

2.Micheal Jordan-He the best clutch shooter in the league.But he lost some of his speed, quickness and hops that he use to have a few years ago. Therefore Tmac goes above him. But he's a great passer, playmaker, and shooter. One of the better defenders in the league. His leadership is limitless.

3.Steve Francis-one of the most atheltic player in this position. A better passer than Cassell and Marbury. He gets the offense going and knows how to contol the tempo. His defense is mediocore

3.Kobe Bryant-A great scorer but he lacks the defense, passing, and strength that Jordan, Tmac has. Plus I question his clutch ablity. But he's got the mental toughness and confidence to take over games.

4.Sam Cassell-a pure shooter with deadly range. A clutch scorer. He's had great success in the playoffs with the Rockets and Bucks. But not much of a passer like the three above. Defense is lacking too.

5.Stephon Marbury-one of the better scorers in the league at this position. Beat Nash at #5 by a hair. Both lack the defensive skills. Thought Nash is a better passer; Marbury has more scoring ablity than Nash. Plus a better clutch scorer.

5.Paul Pierce-He beat Ray Allen barely in my list. Sorry but Iverson takes too many shots and makes only a certan percentage of them. Pierce and Allen have better scoring %. But Pierce has the edge in his strength, rebounding, and defense skills. Iverson & Allen gets eaten alive at one on one defense. Plus Pierce gets his teammates involved, something Iverson and Allen rarely do.

1.S.Oneal-Duncun is a true center but he's playing Pf behind D.Robinson. So I put Shaq as first place. He's a great rebounder, shot blocker, and dunker. But he lacks a shooting touch. Besides his usual hook shots, and dunks...not a whole not in the arsenal.

2.Webber-another great scorer. He's got the inside and outside game. But he's not a good clutch performer. Remember the timeout he called on the Michigan game?? Talk about mental lapse!

2.Mourning-the best outside shooter at this position. He can hurt you inside or outside. He's got great post moves, and he can hit his free throws. He's a great defender, shot blocker and rebounder. But he's not as strong as Shaq. Then again, no body is.

3.KG-Lacks the strenght the other two big men up top have. But he's got great inside and outside offensive game like Web and Duncun. He also posses great shot blocking and rebounding ablity. He's keeps his teammates involved and dishes out when he needs to.

3.Mutombo-Lacks the offensive game that Oneal and Mourning has. But he's the best shot blocker in the business. Plus one of the better rebounders than most centers in the league. His defense is where his game is. But he lacks the strengh that Shaq has (of course!)

4.Dirk Nowitzski-the best shooter out of the five in there. He's also the only one that can hit three pointers. A mediocore rebounder. But not a good defender plus he lacks the physical play to keep up with the other elites. But his offensive game is one of the best in the business.

4.J.Oneal-lack the size but does a great job at the Center spot. He's got some outside game, and a mediocore inside game. He's a great shot blocker, rebounder. But he can also get careless at times due to lack of experience. But in time he'll become one of the better centers of the east.

5.Elton Brand-he beat Malone by a inch! If it was a year ago, then Malone would be in here. But the great Power forward has declined cause of age. Brand is a great post player, has some range with his outside shot, and he's a 10 rbs per night type of guy. Lacks the defense and passing ablilties that the other four have.

5.Ratliff-similar to Mutombo. He lacks the offensive game. He's more of a 12 pts per night type of guy. But he's got great defensive skills, rebounding, and a great shot blocker.

1.R.Wallace-leads the league in Techical fouls. He's been quiet this year but I ams sure he'll go back to his old ways soon.

2.Oakley- Raptors got sick of his mouth, so they gave the dirty work to the Bulls. Krause was stupid enough to trade for him. Now he's making the Bulls locker room a living hell.

3.Shaq-his shaq fu skills are a joke. Swinging at a guy who had his back turned and still missed?? Not only does he get the bad boy award but also the cheap shot award too.

4.Kenyon Martain-his rough physical play nearly knocked T.Mcgrady and Malone to the ground. Oh wait! He did knock them to the ground. Needs to keep those fists in check.

5.Pipen-he called Barkley a lazy punk. Jordan a traitor. Phil Jackson a fake coach. He didn't like Mike Dunleavy when he was coaching the Blazers either. Notice how everyone else is the problem except him??

5.Kenyon Martain-thanks to Kidd, we get to see some ill dunks from Martain. He use to do them in college know that they got a true point guard in Kidd, he's back to his dunking ways. Also look out for this kid named Gerald Wallace from the Kings. He's got some killer dunks too.

1.Elton Brand-he's one of the elite power forwards in the NBA. He never got recognition cause he was with the Bulls last two years and now with the Clippers. But keep a eye on him, he's a superstar in the making.

2.Dirk Nowitzski-the great thing about him is he's just as deadly as everyone else from long range but he's a seven footer which makes it impossible to block him.

2.Baron Davis-should have made the all star team. He should be the one getting the star status of the Hornets not Mashburn! If it wasn't for Davis, the Hornets would not have gone far into the playoffs last year.

3.Ray Allen-mr.smooth, he shoots with no emotion. His poker face style of play makes it hard to predict when he's gonna shoot it. He's got a natural stroke behind long range.

3.Andre Millar-a great all star player on a sucky team. He's got Jason Kidd's passing type skills with a great first step to the basket. His playmaking and leadership is under rated. Plus he's a great scorer.

4.Steve Smith-one of the old guys who still got the touch. He's been hitting from downtown all his career and he's still doing it.

4.Shawn Marion-With Marbury and Penny taking the glory, Marion doesn't get recognized for his game. He's another elite forward out there, and a potential all star. He's got great leaping ablities and can finish on the fast break every time. He's got a good outside game, and his rebounding is excellent for a guy his size.

5.Steve Nash- gives more room on the open floor with his deadly shots. He can flat out knock them down whenever he wants to.

5.Mike Bibby-He's quietly making his mark with the Kings. He's been one of the great point guards in the west but hardly got noticed cause of the Grizzles. He's got great playmaking skills, leadership on the floor, and a great assist man. He averaged 10 assists a game in his rookie season. That's rare! He's got good long range shoots and the knack to get to free throw line. Defense needs improvement but a great PG for any team.
