Top 10 NBA Players In The Game Today

These players have a gift for the game that most people can only dream about having. They have the body, they have the fundamentals, and they have the heart to be the best. Here are the Top 10 Best NBA Players in the game today.

10. Amare Stoudemire (PHX, PF/C)

Amare is ranked at ten because when healthy, he is one of the most powerful big men down low. He has the talent to drive the ball to the basket and once he passes the free throw line, there is no way of stopping him from slamming the ball right through the net.

To add to his athletic arsenal, Amare has the ability to practically shoot from all angles of the court. His FG percent in the 07-08 season was 59 percent along with 25.2 ppg 9.1 rpg, and 2.1 bpg. Amare still has room for improvement and can easily move his way up in the rankings this season as long as he can stay healthy.

9. Deron Williams (UTA, PG)

Deron Williams is one of the best point-guards in the game today, arguably the best. Last season Deron was ranked as one of the best fantasy players in the NBA averaging 18.8 points, 10.5 assists (second most in the league), 3.0 rebounds, and one steal.

We all saw what Deron was about in the 07-08 season and he ranks where he is because of how great he played for the USA team. He is only 24-years-old and still has potential to become the best point-guard in the NBA today.

 
8. Dwight Howard (ORL, C)

Dwight Howard has the perfect body for the NBA, standing 6 feet 11 inches and weighing 265 lbs. It gives him the ability to absolutely punish any defender that tries to match-up against him. To add to that, it also has kept him from missing any games in his four seasons in the league.

At 22 years of age Dwight will dominate the NBA for many years to come and will easily move up on the rankings for best player in the game today (as long as he can win at least one championship!).

7. Kevin Garnett (BOS, PF)

Kevin Garnett has a career average of 20.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals and has appeared in 10 All Star games during his NBA career.

Finally winning a Championship has guaranteed KG into the Hall of Fame. In the NBA today, I believe Garnett belongs at No. 7 only for the fact that he is now getting older, at 32 years of age, and will slowly start to lose his athleticism for the game.

6. Dwyane Wade (MIA, SG)

It’s pretty amazing to say that Wade has only been in the league for five years. Dwyane is an extremely gifted player with the talent to beat anybody in the league today. His career numbers are 23.9 points, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and a little less than a block per game.

He has the ability to become one of the best players in the history of the NBA. Wade is ranked No. 6 with high potential of becoming one of the top three best players in the game today.
