    Kidd also deserves some of the same sort of credit O'Neal gets, but his defensive issues early in the season seemed to send a signal to his Nets (who have fallen from third in defensive efficiency last season to 15th in 2006-07) that it was passable to hold off on stopping people until around the All-Star break. Still, a lot of that falloff had to do with a bit of roster turnover, and you can't blame Kidd for saving his defensive legs in November with a pair of purported greyhounds (Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter) surrounding him who should have been able to help. The 34-year-old Kidd has had a fabulous year for any age, averaging 13.2 points, 9.2 assists and eight rebounds for the wildly inconsistent Nets.</div>

    I really don't understand why Billups is higher than Kidd.....and what exactly is Ginobili, Gasol , and Shaq doing on the list?

    This list is one of the stupidest I have ever seen. Kidd should be way higher and Vince should be on it.

    I'm asking myself the same question. First of all, Billups shouldn't rank higher than Kidd. Second, Ginobili for me is a circus act. Sure he is posting good numbers but he is overrated. He's lucky to be with the Spurs who let's him do what he wants. Third, Shaq is still a force and remains a key figure for Miami, but he's not a top 20 player right now. And finally, Gasol's stats are the results of playing for the worst team in the league.

    [​IMG] I love how Manu Ginobili, Pau Gasol, and Shaquille O'Neal make the list but Dwight Howard doesn't.

    Don't hate on Ginobili. He was the REAL Finals MVP two years back

    Yeah but this year he is a sixth man while Dwight Howard has led the Magic to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

    Okay I just read the article and yeah he overrates Ginobili a bit at 16. He's a Top 40 player, bench or not, but 16?? Hmm..
