Mejia who ranks Lebron James as the league's best, says last season was RJ's "biggest as a pro, finally living up to his enormous potential." In part, he succeeded because "he started finding smarter ways to score".</div>

    We will go much farther if RJ steps up and takes his game to another level.

    I think RJ should be higher than Tayshaun Prince

    I agree, or at least tied with Prince at 7 in front of Kirilenko and Odom. Where's Josh Howard on this list?

    ^ OMG, BETTER THAN KIRIKLENKO! i didnt see the list but KIRILENKO HANDS DOWN A TOP 10 PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE. kirilenko should be second behind lebron but im guessing the also listed pierce and tmac in front, and i can see that but no one else should be in front of kirilenko (and im not biased hes not even one of my favorite players)

    Now way is Kirelenko below all those people. Thinking in terms of overall game, Kirelenko should be #2 below Lebron. In my opinion though, Kirilenko should not even be on this list. He is more of a Power Forward.

    Jefferson is underrated and should be much higher on that list. He is definitley a much better player than Tayshuan Prince and Lamar Odom.

    Yea I kinda agree. I don't believe in lists anymore, because most of the time they don't justify how great or better the player is. For all I care he can be 100 on the list, but I still know what he brings to the table and what I should or shouldn't expect from him.

    Yeah, this is like the time when Kidd was like number 7 on the best point guards list. I laughed when I saw that. Most of these lists are bias or the person who writes them have no basketball knowledge. The thing that really makes me mad is that Richard Jefferson gets better stats then Tayshaun Prince and Lamar Odom and he is on a better team then both of them.

    Having better stats doesnt make you a better player though, and you really think the Nets are better than the Pistons? lol.

    Well don't you think the Nets starting lineup is much better than the that of the Pistons, especially since B.Wallace left. Not to mention, that the Nets have actually much more depth this season than the Pistons do. Of course that's just looking at it on paper, the questions will be all answered during the season.
