Who are your Top 5 NBA players today and why?nba jam

C: At center, I would say Dwight Howard. He is very strong and athletic, and although he is young, he shows great rebounding and scoring ability.

PF: Rasheed Wallace. Many people consider him to be a most importan player, to any team. He has great post-up skills, and when he starts backing a player down, it's almost a guaranteed turn-around that few will come close to contesting. He also blocks and rebounds nicely, which would make for a great twin-tower effect with Dwight. The final reason is his presence...ask anybody who has played with him, and you will hear nothing but praise for the way he motivates his team. When Sheed plays well, everybody plays well. Oh, and don't forget that Rasheed is one of only two power forwards in the league widely proven to be a Garnett stopper.

SF: Lebron James. I don't think I really even need to go into this one, but with the exception of Tayshaun Prince of the Pistons...few can guard him. Heck, even Prince found it nearly impossible last year's ECF.

SG: Kobe Bryant.

PG: Jason Kidd. I still feel that Kidd is the best point guard in the league, and if his lack of scoring would be more than made up for by the other 4.
