    The most exciting player right now is Kobe Bryant. 1 year ago i hated him...... and 1 year later i cant say that my feelings have changed about him.
    But the thing is I cant stop watching him. He is the most entertaining player in the league. His offencive arsenal is limitless. And watching him score basket after basket on 3+ players on the regular is just too entertaining not to watch.

    Like tonight the lakers play. The game starts at 10:30 and will probably end at 12:30pm to 1:00. and i have to wake up at 3am to go to work. that means 2 hours of sleep and im cool with that.

    If you saw that cavs lakers game u see just how much more entertaining kobe is than lebron. James is great in his own right but as of now ive never lost sleep to watch his games.

    Im a chicago native and i havent been this geeked to see a player since Jordan. Im not saying that kobe is as great as Jordan but he certainly is just as entertaining.

    If any other kobe haters feel the same way feel free to post!

    Depends on what style of play you enjoy watching most. I like to see team basketball which is a big reason why I like Lebron and the Kings. However, most people are ALL ABOUT one on one and so theyre into Kobe,Iverson,Mcrgrady etc....

    Most people don't watch LBJ's games to see the Cavs play unless they are a fan of the cavs. They turn the game on cause they want to see him do his Tomahawk dunk or whatever.

    Right now, you could argue Kobe, Wade or Lebron. BUt if you count all of 2000+, it's gotta be VC with all that he did beginning in 2000. He's slowed up a bit now with age and injuries, but he's still got many more highlight reel plays in him.

    I think Vince is more exciting. Kobe might be the better player but Vince just tears the league up when it comes to excitement. Best dunker of all-time, in our generation. I like Kobe too but VC is the man

But Kobe does crazy ass shiiiit night after night, VC he will have a good dunk here or there but Kobe you sort of expecting it. I totatly agree that its Kobe I cant miss 1 possesion or else I might miss something!

    Right now, other than my home team, there's only one team in the league I'll watch on TV regardless of who they're playing against -- the Cleveland Caveliers. And the reason is LeBron. I just get the feeling that I'm watching the beginning of a really legendary career, and that's what makes him the most exciting player for me.

    Second place is Dwyane Wade. Then Kobe.

    I agree. It's very interesting and exciting to watch kobe. But I think that Vince, LeBron, KG are cool to watch too. I just love Vinsanity's dunks and he does so many alley-oops. I also like to watch KG posting up, some footwork, spin move and little fadeaway from post position. And ofcourse Kobe's sick jumpshots are more than exciting to watch

    When he's on, Vince has no match in the league in terms of entertainment.

    Steve Nash has been exciting to watch the last 6 seasons. My vote goes for Kobe though.

    All-excitement team:
    GUARDS: Nash, Kobe, Bench: Tony Parker, Manu, Chris Paul
    FORWARDS: RJ, Jermaine Bench: AK47, Boris Diaw, Shawn Marion
    CENTERS: Amare Bench: Marcus Camby
    Just missed the cut: Jamal Crawford, Jason Richardson

    All-boredom:
    GUARDS: You can't really be a guard in this league and be completely boring to watch.
    FORWARDS: Any Blazers forward.
    CENTERS: Michael Olowokandi. No bench player needed. Watching this guy play for 48 minutes would be too boring to substitute any one else.

    some here picked vince for his dunks but he may only have 1 to 3 spectacular dunks per game. This is how Kobe entertains me the whole game. Kobe doesnt even have to dunk to have a entertaining game. KObe has reached the level where he doesnt respects 99.9% of the leaugues defenders (and we all know who that .1% is).

    kobe will come down the court on 1 end cross over his defender then hop step thru 2 defenders to lay it up over the other teams center. then the next 3 posetions he'll shoot a 19 footer dead in the defenders face. the next posetion he will do a quick studder move then pumpfake to get his defender off his feet and draw a foul.then he will drive against u about 4-5 times in a row so the defender backs up just enough to get his 3 off then from there hes basically pooping on defenders the rest of the night. and by that time hes running picks to switch off to a smaller guard then abuses them in the post.


    Kobe has mastered the game of 3 on 1. KObe is taking whatever the defence is giving him and he recognizes every mistake a defender makes, and makes them look worthless.

    BUt I would say my top five is

    Kobe
    wade
    nash
    vince
    james
