who are your fave NBA players to watch?

What makes you like him so much, his zero titles in almost two decades playing with a Hall Of Famer or for his widely acknowledged dirty play?
You've at least gotta respect the fact that Stockton was the last player to sport the short shorts. He always looked so out of place, like an insurance salesman had shown up to the game, decked out in Jazz gear, and had somehow made it out onto the court. The man could play.

Kevin Garnett - His number one goal seems to be getting a win by any means possible. Plays with great intensity, is unselfish, and was more overjoyed/insane during the postgame celebration than any player I've ever witnessed win a championship.

LeBron James - How can you not like watching him play? He does everything exceptionally well. He's a physical freak. Someone that big and strong should not be able to do the things he does.

Chris "Birdman" Anderson - Incredible jumping ability, and not much else. Embarrassed himself participating in the dunk contest a few years ago. The next year he was suspended for the year for a drug violation. Supposedly it was a hard drug he tested positive for. A league source was quoted saying it was not marijuana. He served his suspension and now he's back. He still sucks, but he should be a Bluelighter.
 
^ To you are the Celtics dirty or tough and physical? (serious question)

Or "option C" for those in Boston, "the refs are against us."

Aww... I see you're in California. I have no complaints because oh ya we won so who here's complaining? Anyways...

Al Jefferson- if no one said him yet you guys are crazy. Dude was averaging like 32 points a game! Are you kidding no all-star! The only true post old school motherfucker left.

CP3- no brainer

Lebraun James- the Cavs should just change their name to the lebraun james. Mo Williams or not the king is the whole team.

Those are my favorites from around the league. I'm a big fan of Rondo and of course Garnett from the Celtics but I can't put that in cause JC would throw a Kobe Bryant tantrum and cry just like Kobe did. :) that said...

Kobe Bryant- regardless of what anyone says kobe is fucking nasty. Throughout his career he's done nothing but get better and better. Even when the lakers lose ill be the first to say it wasn't his fault. He's everything a basketball player should be. As much as it hurts me to say it IMHO kobe is the best player in the NBA at this time but I still hope Lebraun edges him out.

i'm not even gonna begin to argue over who's better kobe or lebron because even if i AM right in saying LBJ (which i am ;)) i don't have the stamina to argue with LL anyways. :D

that being said, my favorite players to watch:

lebron james - fucking sick. even if his end of game clutchness is under dispute, it could be argued that his consistency throughout almost every game in itself negates that lack of killer instinct that kobe undeniably has. yeah yeah yeah we all know that it doesn't matter how well you play if at the end of the game you can't hit that winning shot, but let's be honest, he shouldn't have to shoulder the blame for every loss if he takes 100% of the potential game winning shots. now that we got people like, boobie gibson, moe williams, delante west, Z, etc. making huge shots at the end of the games... you can see lebron slowly becoming more comfortable taking that game winning shot because (IMO) he ISN'T the only person relied on at the end of the games now. that's my take anyways.

kobe bryant - god i hate to say it because it's fodder for every cavs bashing laker fan, but kobe is ridiculous to watch. his confidence is unbelievable and his abilities back it up. you certainly aren't going to hear me argue that kobe's amazing. i think him and lebron are arguably the two best players in the NBA. to be honest, when you compare every aspect of their games, you really could make a fair argument towards either player that one is better than the other, but due to sheer bias... if i had to make a choice, it'd be lebron. but yes, kobe is fucking ridiculous.

oh and i guess i DID begin to argue, but i'm not going to finish. :D anyways...

the big three - i'm just gonna lump the 3 together because it's easier, but any one of the big three or any combination of 2 of them or all three obviously... are ballin out of control. granted the celts haven't been playing as well lately as they began this season, but they're still fun to watch. KG's "anything is possibleeeeeeee" was uber queer though! as much as i love the guy, and regardless of whether or not it's the case, it seemed like he did that JUST to be in commercials. that's irrelevant anyways, i just had to say it because it was so dorky. :)

d wade - he's a fucking toolbox, but he's got a lot of tools. as big a boner as i think he is, it's exciting to watch him play.

steve nash - his whiteness never ceases to amaze me, but his mad skillz are relentless. dude can make some unbelievable assists.
 
i'm a pacers homer so i like to watch danny granger.

or as my buddy calls him.... "granny danger"

I went to High School w/ that fool....I knew he was good but i never thought he was NBA good much less All Star good....He really took his game to a whole other level in College.

Anyways, my fav player is Chris Paul....He plays w/ such grace....Freakin amazing
 
Go
Magic.Superman ..GRRR..BIG dwight Howard.The guys a superstar but still has a great off court attittude and is just a kid at heart.

i agree celtics play dirty and they bought that title with the 3 party.They wont be back in the finals this year..Even though i am a HUGE magic fan..

Gonna be Cavs+Lakers for the title
