D Wade tops that list for me.  Then old friends like Big Al, Delonte, and Ryan Gomes.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

Good question Some good answers. I like Durant, B Roy, Wade, Derrik Rose for sure. And My sleeper Pick Is Russel Westbrook. There Gonna be fun to watch soon. Nice job by the GM I thought Westbrook seemed a little high there, but he lokke like the Real Deal.

I know this is going to generate a few boos but for me it's Lebron. Man this guy is just something else! He is not as good on offense as MJ but as I posted a couple of weeks ago, what player would you rather have taking the ball to the basket right now? The guy rebounds very well, plays D around the basket better then anyone I can think of who plays his position. I know he is a bit of a prima donna but I am speaking strictly from a bball perspective. He is already in very elite company with only names like MJ, Larry, and the Big O being comparisons. He's not as good as any of those players yet but may pass one or two of them before he is finished.

Yeah I'll ad Tim Duncan. Great player and nice guy. I forgot Ryan Gomes. I loved him in Green, and in Minni he's doing a very good job and always has a good attitude.

These don't have to be secret- Dirk, Big Al, Oden, Kevins Love and and Durant, Matt Harpring.
These should be kept secret(some from the past)- Bill Laimbeer, Rodman from his Piston days, Danny Fortson, JJ Redick, Chris Herren.

Since noone ridiculed my Bowen love I'll finish my list. I love love Tayshaun Prince I don't know why he doesn't do anything extraordinary that I love just something about he's out there just quietly working. After Duncan he's my favorite non-Celtic. J.R. Smith, Barbosa, Okur. Pryzbilla, Battier. And Amare just for this:

Sometimes the floppee just had it coming  ;D
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Parker is really climbing up my list as well. It's amazing how he can get just about anywhere he wants on the floor. I love the more aggressive type of players who are always trying to live in the lane.
