TheDude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 who would it be? My vote is Kevin Garnett..He's 7'1"(confirmed by David Alridge today) and play's like a guard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted February 26, 2004 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 If we are considering the player and their contract.... I would take T-mac. Right now, it's easy to build around Tmac. The problem with Shaq, KG, and even Duncan is that they make soooo Much money that it's hard to put a good team around them. Still. Duncan is very very close. I think his skill set is awesome, I just don't know what he could do without the right guards around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukegotgame Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I would say KG too, but when considering his huge contract it would be hard to build around. I then would look at guys like Lebron, Chris Webber, maybe even Yao( you can't teach his size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted February 26, 2004 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Lebron is a good option when you consider contract/marketability. My question is how good is he really. Will he be the next Jordan or will he start to fizzle out? I like Tmac because of his youth, his skill set, his contract, and the fact that he can carry a team. I wouldn't ask him to do it alone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyman3 Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 ignoring CONTRACT, i'd go with KEVIN GARNETT and then TIM DUNCAN but considering CONTRACT/SALARY, id go with Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoostal Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 KG is the man to have, all he asked his who you would want on your team, ignore salary P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 This guy is 18 years old and is already dominating much more experienced NBA players. No player his age has ever been this good. Not Garnett. Not Kobe. Not McGrady. LeBron James has the look of a player that could be the best to ever play the game before his career is over. If I had to take one player to build around, it would be James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathway23 Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I agree, I was pessimistic about James before this season began but now I think he can be as good or better than Jordan by the time he has done provided he stays healthy. Great body, great athleticism, unselfish, and positive attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit99 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Yao is the best choice and bring in Akeem "The Dream" to coach him, he will be unguardable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted February 27, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I would go with Duncan and then Lebron. Duncan is better than Garnett. I know some of you hate it, But he is. Garnett couldn't lead a team out of the first round for five years by himself. Duncan has two rings, BY HIMSELF. Garnett is a great player, but he's no winner. He had to surround himself with two all-stars to even have a legit shot. Duncan has been the only all-star quality player on his team since he arrived there. Duncan is a great player AND a winner. If I couldn't have Duncan I'd take Lebron. He's young and he can do it all. He'll be better than Kobe, Tmac, Vince, etc before the next few seasons.

TheDude Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 what idea is that chilzat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBAreject Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 OK, actually Lebron, but I wanted to offer a different veiwpoint. 1) Lebron 2) PEJA 3) Yao 4) Duncan 5) Garnett 6) Kidd Those players all take mediocre or poor teams and make them good. Of course, Lebron's team isn't quite good yet, but just wait. PEJA has made Sac the best team in the league without it's perceived superstar. Does Webb make Sac good? Did he make Washington good? What many do not realize about basketball is that it's about 2 things: maximizing scoring efficiency on offense and minimizing scoring efficiency on defense. Sure, that's a simple concept, but many do not understand this. Simply put, PEJA has the highest scoring efficiency in the league. He single handedly beat the Lakers last night despite terrific nights by Shaq and Kobe. Of course, Kobe's night would be perceived as terrific, but closer inspection reveals that he shot only 12-28. Peja is better than Kobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
