10. Richard Hamilton (Pistons)
Hamilton is one of the most consistent scorers in the league. Last season, he averaged over 17 points, four assists, and three rebounds in only 33 minutes, as he was rested a lot because of the Pistons' great record.
He also is an above-average defender who shot a fantastic 48.5 percent from the field, 44 percent from the three-point line, and 83 percent from the free-throw line.
9. Joe Johnson (Hawks)
Johnson has become the go-to guy on a solid, young Hawks team. He has made the All-Star team the last two seasons and has become one of the most all-around players in the league.
Last year, he averaged 22 points, six assists, and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 43 percent from the field, 38 percent from the three-point line, and 83.4 percent from the free-throw line.
8. Vince Carter (Nets)
Carter has been a great player for several years, and even though he is in decline, he still is a very good player. Last season, he averaged over 21 points, six rebound, and five assists while shooting a solid 45.6 percent from the field, 36 percent from the three-point line, and 81.6 percent from the free-throw line.
This season, he will average around the same stats and probably make the All-Star team.
7. Manu Ginobli (Spurs)
Ginobli is one of the best all-around players in the league and a true winner. Last season, he averaged 19.5 points, five rebounds, and 4.5 assists while shooting 46 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three-point line, and 86 percent from the free-throw line, along with 1.5 steals. He is also a solid defensive player and one of the most clutch players.
6. Tracy McGrady (Rockets)
Based on pure talent, McGrady would be in the top three. However, McGrady has a history of back problems and injuries in general, and he still has the tag of never being able to make the second round of the playoffs.
On top of that, he is 29-years old, which sounds young, but all of his injuries add several years on his body. Last season, he averaged 21.6 points, six assists, and five rebounds while shooting a low 41.9 percent from the field, a bad 29 percent from the three-point line, and a low 68 percent from the free-throw line.
He is also a mediocre defensive player.
5. Brandon Roy (Blazers)
In just his second season last year, Roy averaged 19 points, six assists, and five rebounds while also shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 34 percent from the three-point line, and 75 percent from the free-throw line.
He is also very safe with the ball, as he averaged only 1.8 turnovers per game and is a very good defensive player. He is also a fantastic leader and should improve a lot with the presence of Oden in the middle this year.
4. Gilbert Arenas (Wizards)
Arenas is one of the best players in the league, as well as one of the most entertaining players. Last season, he missed nearly the whole season because of knee surgery.
However, when healthy he averages near 30 points, along with five to six rebounds and assists, but he is a bad defensive player and seems to shoot too much, as Butler, Jamison and the rest of the team play much better without Arenas in the lineup.

When Manu is healthy he is one of the top SGs in the game. Manu just doesn't get the minutes because Popovich has to execute his plan for victory. He also is one of the better defenders in this top 10

This is a good list but I think you should have put T Mac ahead of Brandon Roy even though T Mac is very injury proned.

1. Doberman- Kobe, nuff said.
2. D-Wade- Look great in China, expect him to be an M.V.P candidate this season
3. The Argentina 6th – The cog of the Spurs
4. Tracy- Streaky shooter, outstanding playmaker, not a big game player
5. Joe Johnson- Gave the CELTS all types of problems in the 1st round. The same defensive scheme that was used on Johnson was applied to Kobe
6. Arenas- When not injured can score at will from anywhere
7. Vince- A little ripe, doesn’t possess the killer instinct, to often settle for mediocrity. Dynamic scorer/slash playmaker none the less.
8. Redd- One of the best outside shooter in the league. Is the heart and soul of the Bucks
9. Roy- Young, good defender, proven scorer; posses a lot of upside.
10. A.I.- The greatest scorer under 6” feet of all time. In the twilight of a stellar career.

Naveen,
Manu Gino-billy is not a good defensive player. He's a great flopper, and folk mistake that for good defense. Well, the NBA is getting rid of that, starting the coming season. So, either Gino-billy is going to be exploited for his lackluster defense, or be very very very light in the pocket...since they'll be fining players for *certified* flopping on defense, to draw offensive charge.

yungNigg,
You're here on this site, everyday posting, between this login you created in dyckrydyng my style and plus your original login that you post under. Whereas me? I go 2-3 days, at a time, not even viewing this site let alone not posting.
See, your *hatred for the truth* certainly makes you refuse to mention how I incur more hate-filled remarks at my posts, than most here can ever imagine. So when I respond to you haters, in multitudes, that consistently equals me submitting 12-20 posts-----per visit! Which = some weeks I've had more than 100 posts and close to 90 posts, mainly at you haters, and had only visited the site 4 out of the 7 days in each of those weeks. Now, stop dyckrydyng my stii for minute, and avg. that out over the 10 weeks that I've been registered to this site.
Then once you get done counting up posts, deluding to my posting frequencies, quoting my words to other members, coveting my entire essence, and holding on tight while you dyckryding my stii, make sure you don't forget to:
____________________________________________________________________________________
heed the Impact, of he, who drove you out of your mind to mimic/mock me with this login. You're hurt. You're wounded. Your pro-Racist pride has been pummeled. You lost self-control. You were too too cowardly to use your regular login, to debate the validity of my posts. Because you toiled in perplexity with each contribution of mine that exploited you.
So, you created this login. To show other writers here *how empty* your reservoir is, versus me. You hate a world where *Equality reigns* in sports-information reporting, so you lost self-control and created this login. You hate a world where White privilege is exploited, so you lost self-control and created this login. You hate a world where you're made to feel inept, when expected to use your original login to pit your arguments against xenophobic rhetoric I exploit, so you lost self-control and created this login.
I like it too.
I think it's the pinnacle of all compliments, to how impactive I have been in exploiting you Inequality-lovers here, on this site. So thanks for the pom-pom-presentation, in the form of a "yungNegroid" login you created.

You know you don't have to reply to everything.
In all honesty though, this comment was kinda funny,

Michael,
You're a harlequin. If you had a life, you wouldn't be able to spend all of your Time worried about/covering for pro-Racist who come hate on me...Correct? Face this. Your boy yungNigg used my posting-History to tell, yet another lie, and I used nothing but a factual reality to *air him out* about it. So, just read it, and weep. Period.
Then, when you're done? Go realize your nature *to covet my style* because you can't hold a torch to the opinions that I extend...including when I put them in an article I wrote:

You are the only obvious racist here. You purposely shorten my user name to "yungNigg" so that you can use an abbreviated version of the offensive term you know you want to write. I notice you also call me "boy" before you write "Nigg" -- yet another offensive way to refer to a non-Caucasoid.
I can use your words, your "truth", to expose you for the racist you are. You, on the other hand, falsely accuse every of being racists simply because they like a player, such as Steve Nash, who happens to be white. You have no evidence to support your false claims, because it does not exist.
Again, I repeat, GET A LIFE.

yungNigg,
awwww, don't cry wittle baby ---it'll be okay--- just as soon as you learn to shut up and take what you dish out when you chose to start some nonsense...that I'm going to finish for you.
Like I told you, many times now, you started this whole nonsense when *you lost self-control* and created a login mocking/mimicing me. So, the moment you clicked "submit" to create that login account, you should've asked your dumb-brain:
I'm I ready to take 'whatever comes along with' this act I'm committing?
Looks like you failed to do that. Considering the way you're crying like a lil' biiiic...now in your posts.
OH YEY: stop putting words in my mouth! If I wanted to call you whatever "abbreviated version of any offensive" term you hallucinate, then...I wouldn't abbreviate anything. I would just call you whatever I wanted to call you. So, stop hallucinating and turning my clowning you, into you whatever you want it to be vs. what I make it to be. I posted what it is, plain and simply, the reference to you says *yungNigg* so go google if you need to get it through your pro-Racist mind. But before you do that, remember to:

Manu deserves to be higher in the list. Even though I hate the Spurs and their fans with passion. Kobe is in my opinion a top 3 NBA player of all time. Many people out there will not agree with the list below.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Magic Johnson
