lol sounds like a comeback I'd have used when I was 11.

Lebron James is the all around better player.

Kobe has no defense.

Pretty much agree with your list but I would put Dirk Nowitzki at PF and Yao Ming at C (even though he's injury prone but when healthy he better then anyone else). As for top player I like LeBron a bit better then Kobe. Also at PG I would replace Nash with Chris Paul in a couple more years.

Kobe has no defense?WTF, are you kidding me. He may not be the best defender, but he's good at it.

Are you kidding me? Kobe is a joke on defense. The NBA was attempting to be ironic when it awarded Kobe nine NBA All-Defensive First/Second Team awards.

Sarcasm?

Either way, he's not in the top 10 for defenders.

People like Corey Brewer are overlooked because they play good defense on a horrible team.

Pay the man, Shirley.

Kobe has the ability to be a top-ten defender, and that is why he consistently wins All-Defensive awards. Granted, he often reserves his energy on defense because he does so much on offense; that is why some perceive him to be a lackluster defender. Nevertheless, if the game is competetive in the fourth quarter, Kobe plays unrestrained and is a lockdown defender. Oh, I am aware that many good defenders are overlooked; Brewer, Sefolosha, Mbah a Moute, et al. You are preaching to the choir.

Garnett and Duncan you could make an argument for about 5 years ago. But he is asking who are the best player's TODAY. And you have to be crazy to take either of them over the young Howard and Bosh who are both playing amazingly. Duncan himself admitted he was getting slower and wasn't as good as he used to be. And Nash over Paul is just crazy.

As for best overall player that has to be Lebron. I think he was the best ever at his position, you can't say that about Kobe.

Hey, hey, hey don't forget about my boy Dirk from the Mavs.  Dude is a beast.  Hall of Famer without a shadow of a doubt.

Dang do people watch the news or what?  The girl lied and the charges was dropped.  She had previous encounters with other men nights before.  Yes, he cheated, but he's human and things have gotten better with the wife and family.
