Knicks and Nets fan here. I'm impressed with the way Allan Houston stepped up his game this year. It's about time. Too bad the Knicks didn't make it to the offseason. If Dice is health next year, the Knicks will be a major annoyance in the East (though they won't go to the Finals, no way).
I've been going to Nets games the last couple of years, they are so much fun to watch. KMart is a stud, plain and simple. He should have been at least 3rd team All-Defensive, probably second. Those stupid things are based on seniority / rep, though, and he's only a 3rd year player. If he's healthy, he's an easy All-Star next year. As for him going to Orlando, forget it, they have Drew Gooden! He could be as good as KMart.
I would love to se Zo come to the Knicks. They need him more than the Nets do. I wonder if the Knicks still have a cap exception to use on him? There's no way that Zo will get top dollar on his new contract. The idea of the Nets making a sign-and-trade for Zo, I think, is not such a good idea. Mutombo must have a year or two left, which is more than enough for Collins to develop into an excellent starter.
Kobe can be annoying. He's insanely talented, but have you seen him taken an open jump shot? He contorts his body as if he was trying to fade-away from an imaginary oponent. Heck, if it works, no complaints from Kobe fans, but it lends to the image of style first. I know he's an insanely hard worker, but sometimes those crazy things get to me.
TD is so good, but is he really a great repeat MVP? I don't think so. The field is pretty flat, and he wins because he's a top 7 footer who stayed healthy. Kidd was the honest-to-goodness MVP last year, but the Nets got no press last year so he was robbed.
So, to stay on topic.... my favorite players have to include as well as KMart and Houston, Richard Jefferson. RJ has stepped into the starting role and excelled in his second year. He's only going to get better and more consitent. If Kidd re-signs, ph34r the Nets!
Also, TMac. I've been a big TMac booster since his days in Toronto, so I feel pretty good about his recent success. It's s shame the way he has no team. IF Hill can be healthy next year, with Gooden in his second year, the Magic could cause some real damage (big if with Hill).

Gotta be Yao. He was under enoromous pressure and after the first 10 games where he didn't get alot of minutes everyone was saying he was a bust.
He really lived up to the hype. He should have been ROY. If the Rocket's hadn't had all their problems and had made the playoffs he would have won ROY.
Yao showed that he will be a star for years to come.

shaq's stats say its all.... his rings, mvp's, scoring titles...etc say it well too.
as far as as putting up #'s...
pierce is awesome....
marion is under rated....
yao... much more to come... possible a few quadruple doubles? points, boards, assists, and blocks?
but aside from skill (cause he's getting owned by kmart)... toine is funny as hell for all his sh!t talkin..

KOBE.
I think Shaq is a giant ass who throws his weight around but he's is an amazing athlete. Did anyone see him dribble full court last night and dunk the ball? He looked like a guard leading the break. I first saw him do that in the McDonald's game.
My favorite player is Dirk. Look, flame me if you want but I like seeing really good and unique white guys in the NBA. I'm proud that Dirk can compete at such a high level. If blacks can be proud of Tiger or Serena Williams I can be proud of Dirk. Now, if only he could play decent defense.

Oh please, Amare Stoudemire desired ROY more than Yao by a long shot. If you compare their stats you'll see that they're almost identical; that's pretty amazing when you consider that Stoudemire is 7 inches and 50 lbs lighter than Yao (who is 2 years older), not to mention the fact that Yao played in a real basketball league (in China) whereas Stoudemire came straight out of high school. I don't see how Yao was under any more pressure than Stoudemire either.
