13 Jun 1997:  Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls cheers as Michael Jordan (L) celebrates his MVP trophy after the Bulls win game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls defeated the Jazz 90-86 to win the series and c

The top 10 players in the league are Tony Parker, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant.

Tony Parker shows up in big games and he always outplay the best point gaurds in the league. Carmelo is a flat out baller. He can shoot from anywhere, he's clutch, and he's a better defender than all the other years, Dwight Howard is Superman. He's just a double double machine. Dirk is the best shooter in the NBA and one of the best big men in the game. Oh yeah, Dirk is also a former league MVP.

Pierce is "The Truth." Paul is the most underrated player; he out-dueled LeBron James last year in the conference semifinals, and he was named the finals MVP. Dwyane Wade leads the NBA in scoring this year, after a lot of people said he was falling off of his game. Garnett, who wouldnt want him on their team. He's a leader on the court and he has the numbers, double doubles, and the defense to back it up.

A lot of people say Tim Duncan plays slow and he's boring but when the game is over don't be surprised if you see 30 and 15 under his stats. I think Duncan is the best power forward to ever play the game.

King James...he's the next best thing. The guy is only 24, and look at the havoc he has already caused. 'Bron got the most flights I've ever seen and he can take it to the whole whenever he feels like it.

As good as all those players are, they're no match for the 6'6", 205-pound, self-proclaimed "Mamba." Kobe Bryant is the closest thing to Michael Jordan. He's the most complete player in the NBA, he can do it all.
