Who is the best overall player in the NBA now?

what i think is funny is that not a one of you mentioned Nash (not saying nash is the best)

I think Kobe barely edges Lebron out for now. But I agree his D is not underrated. His D is very good and people know it it isnt some new fact that was never looked at before.

You could also put KG, Dirk, and Carmelo in that list. Melo has better D than Wade or James.

I would have to say Nash as well.

Nash could be put in the top 5 but certainly(not IMO atleast) is he top dog. Kobe everynight puts up a reasonable amount of blocks, steals, points(beyond reasonable), assists, and rebounds. Nash ussually gets a doubl double everygame in assists and points. I even think Jason Kidd is more of an all-round point gaurd than Nash is(he gets Triple-Doubles).

Nash is nowhere near the best player in the NBA.

Nash overall......you could argue it, the man does have two mvp's in a row(although I strongly think Kobe should have got it last year) though. His defense isn't all that good. But Nash does make the players around him better.

Yeah, why did Nash get it. I think.....know, Kobe should have gotten it. This year, so far (it brings it down with the brawl) is Melo.

Of course because you're his #1 fan. Last year, you could argue for him. But, this year, he's not playing the best in the league so far.

True, he still has his ingeries to recover from.

P.S.- Check out the Dream Team thread and make a team.

Melo has no shot at MVP this year because of the brawl.

1. Nash
2. Kobe

I'd still say Duncan.

I would give more consideration to give Kobe MVP this year instead of last year since last years scoring burst had more to do with him being a huge ball hog than anything else. This year he is playing better in the Laker's system and making his teammates better.

Yeah, but pre-brawl.

Kobe is a underated defensive player, but the best scoring threat peroid and the guy you want with the ball in his hands with the game on the line straight poison..

Dwanye is a tremendous slashing scorer outside game is sometimes questionable as well as his Defense and he benefits from his cast tremedously.Would like to see him work the post better he is real close to being the best I think as he matures his shooting and post,defense will get better ala Kobe...

Allen Iverson great player lots of heart great scorer plays in a giants world but overall no I really dont think so shoots way to much horrible shot selection 41% from the field kills a team defense is not there but a underated passer "when he passes watch a few allstar games you will see what I mean" A few holes to be considered the best all round player but I absolutely love the guy..

Lebron James Rebouding check Scoring check passing court vision just sick defense is getting there best all round game in my opinon and hes getting better which is scary outside game is tremedous and getting better can slash and when he does post" I would like to see him post more" its almost not fair. but the number one thing I like is he is unselfish with the ball gets the whole team involved..

As of right now give me one player I will take Lebron his supporting cast is not great makes everybody better around him cause they know they are going to get the ball this year he will take a even bigger step forward by the way just dropped 35 pts 10 boards and the cavs just beat the spurs.. Kobe kills me cause I think he is the most talented most dynamic player just doesnt get the team involved enough you just dont know what your going to get from him besides his 30 a night some nights he looks like the best I have ever seen the next he looks like a gunner who only cares about his stats who takes horrible shots and rest of the team looks dead no hustle just beaten down like they know there not getting the ball. I hope he puts more emphaiss on the team getting people invovled instead of the kobe show..

1. Lebron
2. Kobe
3. dwayne

I agree with ur points
I like in this order

1. Kobe
2. Lebron
3. Wade

Merry Xmas

Word!

Yeah nothing different from me. Either Kobe LeBron or D-Wayde.
