in order. Who ya got?

1. LBJ
2. CP3
3. Kobe
4. Wade
5. Melo

This is really hard. The top 4 are basically interchangeable IMO. Picking the 5th guy is really hard as well. This is probably the first time I have ever not had a legit big man in my top 5.

Like I like Melo, offensively.

IMO, hes the best 2nd best offensive player/swing man in the game to Kobe. There is nothing he cant do offensive; he can shoot the mid range jumper, post up, shoot the three, he is deceptively quick and athletic and finishes with power. He can drive, is a very very capable passer too.

His defensive game just shoots him out of the top 7-8. Its horrid and inexcuseable.

1. Lebron
2. Pierce
3. CP3
4. Kobe
5. KG

Just missed the cut: Wade, Duncan, Manu, D Will

Most likely to make the leap: Brand

Howard can't score like Ming

21 and 14 are crazy numbers but 15 of his 21 come off dunks. He only have one weapon; his dunk(shot).

Ming was good for 23 and 10 last year. But he could post up, shoot the mid range jumper, finish at the free throw line too.

Now Howard will be better in the end, but Ming>Howard now.

CP3 is great, but he is not a top 5 NBA player.

CP3 is not the best point guard in the league

To put him at the 1 spot is closer to reality then him not in the top 5. I would have a hard time taking anyone over him, if I was to take someone for the rest of their career. LBJ maybe
