Ill give you Paul Pierce, because as much as you guys talk about him and the great player that he is, he doesnt get much national recognition from the media because of his team's play. I still think Vince is better, maybe because I see him every day and I dont see the things Pierce does on a nightly basis and vice versa for you, but Pierce definatly does not get the recognition he deserves for the way he playsG-KiddSG-PierceSF-JeffersonPF-VilanuevaC-PerkinsI have to put Kidd there because a lot of people think he is still slowed by his knee injuries and think he is slowing down because of age. However, he is having one of the best seasons of his career. I think Krstic is a great player, but recently, people have credited him alot for the Nets improved play so I think he is no longer as underatted..

Personally I still see Jason Kidd as the best Point guard in the NBA. I mean he does everything you want your Point guard to do. Play Good Defense and direct the offense. He is the best defensive point gaurd in the NBA and the only one better than him at directing the offense is Steve Nash.C- Eddy CurryF- Charlie VillanuevaF- Wally ScizerbiakG- Paul PierceG- Mike JamesThe Eddy and Wally choices may be strange, but I think Curry is the most unstoppable Center next to Shaq and Wally is an all-star caliber player. Charlie still doesn't get his credit and Mike James almost gets 20 PPG.
I like to see Wally getting some credit. He really does alot of intangible things for a team. Most of it goes unnoticed.
Eddy Curry is definatly overatted, especially by Knicks fans. He averages 6 rpgs at his size, thats a disgrace.

He was pretty beastly in his Chicago days and if Larry Brown can get him thinking defensively I'm just saying watch out.
he won't think defensively, no matter who's coaching him. and that's why he's overrated. people like you thinking he is "the most unstoppable center next to Shaq".

He would be great in the first 5mins of the game, then disapper for awhile. Hardly ever cracked 10rbs and didnt box out at all. Hes a lazy player, which is one of the main reasons hes fat again, no skiles to push him anymore.

Curry is very overrated. The guy is a seven-footer, and averages less than 1 block per game. He has around 47 blocks this entire season, and that is a disgrace.One of the reasons that this wasn't a problem in Chicago was because they had Chandler to do the defensive and dirty work.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (HeatBasketball @ Apr 14 2006, 12:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Where is Nenad!!!</div>I dont think he is underatted anymore, everyone knows who he is now and he is all over opposing scouting reports..He is no longer a secret, everyone knows he is for real..Whats scarry is Rod Thorn doesnt expect him to reach his full potential for another 3 or 4 years..
PG- JKidd- Still a great pg but so amny people seem to think hes lost it allSG- Pierce- Is a great scorer and does get as much recognition from anyone besides celtics fansSF- Richard Jefferson- He can do a lot for a team. score, pass, rebound, and is a great dunker. he also has a very good career shooting % for a sf at 48%.PF- Charlie V- Everyone thought he was a bust coming into the league and he proved everybody wrong. He showed his ability to score and can also grab some boardsC- Chris Bosh- Yeah hes considered a PF but he needs to be on this list and he does play c sometimes. This guy is probably the 4th best player out of one of the best drafts ever. Hes already become a solid 20 and 10 type of player and should get much better in the future.
