    6th man on which team? The All-Stars?

    A guy who thinks Joe Johnson is better than Allen Iverson, Ray Allen and Vince Carter should be ignored.

    that's fine. Espn rankeD him 4. People either hate him and think 22 6 and 5 is a washed up nobody. Or they actually watch him and respect him as thr elite guard that he is.

    carter avged 20+pts , 5+ boards, 5+ assits with 45% FG... how does that account for #14? only 3 ppl pulled that off last season. some of these writers make no sense.

    lol, Iverson is old and washed up, Allen is good for some games, but I believe JJ is better than both of them

    Carter and JJ is a closer competition and it really would depend on what you want

    This is way more realistic than the guy from Dime that said Vince was a top 15 player.

    The weird thing is Tmac is #3, Ginobili #4. I think Carter plays just as well as those two guys.

    Go ahead and ignore me then

    All 3 teams would be better with JJ than said player and the Hawks would be worse with any of those 3 instead of JJ.

    I never said the Hawks would be better off with any of those 3 than Johnson. IMO, Johnson isn't as talented as any of the three but is the best fit for the Hawks.

    Iverson is not old and washed up, if you watch him play he's still an unbelievable player. He still does things nobody else in the league can do.

    I watch almost every Nuggets game and I can't wait until AI is off the Nuggets. Yes he is unbelievable, unbelievably frustrating.

    Josh Boone isn't as talented as Stro Swift but Boone is far, far better basketball player.

    I don't have a problem with the top 7. From there it is a lot more subjective than it already is.

    This is also on the same page:

    1. Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers
    2. Dwyane Wade, Miami
    3. Allen Iverson, Denver
    4. Andre Igoudala, Philadelphia
    5. Brandon Roy, Portland
    6. Joe Johnson, Atlanta
    7. Vince Carter, New Jersey
    8. Manu Ginobili, San Antonio
    9. Danny Granger, Indiana
    10. Josh Howard, Dallas
    11. Tracy McGrady, Houston
    12. Paul Pierce, Boston
    13. Kevin Martin, Sacramento
    14. Rudy Gay, Memphis
    15. Jason Richardson, Charlotte

    wow, if this is the mindset of all the experts, then Lawrence Frank better get a heck of a lot of Coach of the Year votes when the Nets win 40 games.

    Vince is a more efficient shooter.

    I never understood the fascination with T-Mac. The guy is talented, but he's more injury prone than Vince and has worse success in the post season.

    I see Vince as #7 or 8 and McGrady right below him.
