NBA:Favorite Player?And Why?

[Excelsior]

Wade.

Edit: But on my hometown team, Okafor. He seems like a really genuine guy and he pretty good too.

I actually don't find Lebron that entertaining to watch for some reason. Not sure why. I guess it's just cause he's bigger than everyone else, and mostly uses his strength and leaping ability to finish shots.

I really like Wade's game, with his crafty ability to get in the lane and finish.

Vince Carter is probably my favourite in the game today, despite how much he regressed athletically. When he's on, he's really crafty, and has incredible body control. I don't know why but it seems like everything he does is in slow motion. He also has great bball IQ, finding the open man, and being a general playmaker. He has this unameable quality to him that makes everything he does seem effortless.

Steve Nash's passing ability is jaw dropping. I have a 1 hour "Court Cuts" special from last year, that shows the best plays of that season. The passes that man made to Amare and co drew a tear to my eye. This year, he's giving marion and Diaw a field day. The sun's in general play a very entertaining brand of basketball, always passing, and getting quick shots or dunks of penetrations.

Finally, I have to mention Kobe. That man has the desire to succeed. the degree of difficulty in the shots that he takes blows my mind. He's always adding to his game.

All time favourite: Arvydas Sabonis. 7'3'' big man who in my opinion was the best passing big man of all time. Poetry. Any Sabonis fans here? It's a shame he only came into the NBA past his prime with shot knees. I never saw the game, but he completely dominated David Robinson in one of the 80's Olympics. If anyone has any good videos of him please drop me a PM.

Kobe

I'm going to say Tony Parker.

Watching him play and just leave players flat footed is just fun to watch.

Same with AI. He is a mf'n trooper.

Didnt he go to some Euro League after he was drafted?I just remember him from when the Lakers played them in 99-00...pretty good defensive player.

Yao Ming. Liked him ever since he came to Houston. Great moves and has really been playing with intensity. Not to mention he is one of the most fouled players in the NBA, and has had a bad history of not getting the call. Too bad he just broke his foot
