Top Five NBA Players

There are a lot of of great NBA players, but this is the top five.

5) 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 1.0 steal.

We all saw what Deron was about in the 07-08 season. 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.

4) Chris Paul (NOH, PG)

If the definition of point guard is in the dictionary, CP3’s picture better be on it. He is the best point guard in the league today, period. Chris has absolutely mastered the fundamentals of the PG position, and has extremely great vision as well.

To go along with his passing, he knows how to steal the ball, drive it to the lane, and shoot from anywhere on the court. Last season CP3 averaged 21.1 points, 11.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 steals, with 48.8 FG percent, and 85 percent from the free throw line.

Chris Paul has established himself in the league and already looks like a veteran on the court. It’s scary to think that he has only been in the league for three years. Chris Paul will certainly become one of the best point guards ever.

 

3) LeBron James (CLE, SF)

LeBron James isn’t named “The King” for no reason. LJ is one of only three players in NBA history to average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in their rookie season. To add to that, he is one of only four players in NBA history to average at least 30 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a single season (05-06 & 07-08).

At 6 feet 8 inches, and weighing 250 pounds, Lebron James has the ideal physique of an NBA legend. His talent for the game cannot be matched by anyone else in the league. The King will become the best player in the NBA within a matter of seasons.

2) Dwayne Wade (MIA, SG)

It’s pretty amazing to say that Wade has only been in the league for five years. Dwayne 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. 2 with high potential of becoming the best player in the game today.

1) Kobe Bryant (LAL, SG)

Entering the league at the tender age of 18 forced Bryant to mature quickly. In his second season he was voted as a starter for the 1998 All-Star Game, and became the youngest player, at 19, to become an All-Star in NBA history.

In the 05-06 season Kobe scored 81 points in one game, ranking him second in history for most points scored in a single game. To add to that, Kobe has won three championships, and is compared to Michael Jordan on a regular basis.

Kobe Bryant is one of the best players that has ever played the game, and that is why he is awarded as the best player in the game today.
