Most basketball pundits feel that the two most talented players in the NBA from top to bottom are Kevin Durant and Lebron James. Now most talented doesn't mean best player. I know a lot of people like Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, or Dwight Howard. Personally I feel like Durant and James are the two best players in the NBA even though James showed some mental weakness in the Finals.

I gotta take LBJ right now, but KD is off to a great start this year. His fire yesterday in demanding that Russell give him the ball and then stomping on the throat of Memphis looked like he has taken another step in his development. I think he will probably win MVP this season.

So who you got as your best player in the NBA and why? If you answer other, say who it is and why you think that. I am interested to see how people feel about who the top player in the game is.

Thanks.

Wade.

He blows Durant out of the water in terms of passing and defense.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Yeah, Dwight's better too.

I'm still not sure I would consider him a clear cut better scorer than Melo yet.

James. His stat line is almost always amazing.

It's a good thing, though, that we've got Durant to cheer for because he just seems like such a nice, humble young man.

Pretty much I think after those two the rest are basically interchangeable.

Bron
Howard
Durant
Wade
Dirk/Paul (can't decide)

That's my top 5, and that's the order. Sorry Kobe!
