This isn't who is your favorite player to watch, but rather most exciting/dynamic. Here is my list:1) T-Mac: I find his jumpshot to be picture perfect, and when he catches fire he is absolutely jaw dropping to watch (13 in 30 anyone?).2) Dwyane Wade: So fast and athletic, sometimes wild, but every game is a highlight reel.3) Allen Iverson: I never found him to be exciting on TV, but in person when you see just how small and fast he is, it's really fun to watch.4) Kobe Bryant: See T-Mac.5) LeBron James: Similar to Wade, but rather than crazy layups it is dunks thrown down very hard.Honorable mentions: Amare Stoudemire when healthy, Steve Nash, Vince Carter
Amare 2 years ago definetly. He would dunk over anyone with no fear. That dunk over Adonal Foyle was insane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcWwjyF8dpo...0adonal%20foyleRight now though I would say LeBron. I love watching the guy.
Steve Nash, Lebron, Wade, Amare, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, TMac, Kobe, Shawn Marion, KG, Dirk. I just named all the obvious choices. And then there is Gerald Green, Josh Smith, Nate Robinson, etc..(The guys that can light an arena up by their dunks).
Paul Pierce (biased), Tracy Mcgrady, Lebron James, Shaq (used to be in 90s) and Ricky Davis (very entertaining dunks)...this is based off of player's ive seen live

Defense is exciting to a lot of people. I love dominant post players blocking shots and Artest's game.
Another video of Amare and why when healthy most exciting big man I have ever seen:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhJLpZ69utw...re%20stoudemire

as for sunnyd saying tayshaun on d, i'm sure it's mostly bc it'a p[layer on HIS team. He likes seeing one of his team's players playing good D.To be different and go with a smaller name, Tony Allen. He is so explosive, and i always thought it was funny how in his rookie year he aired about half of his shots.
Shaq and Tim Duncan. Gotta love the fundamentals of Tim Duncan and the physical style of play Shaq brings every night.

I find it wrong (maybe that's not the correct way to say it.. but it "shouldn't be this way" may fit better) that nobody appreciated the true fundamentals anymore. People don't appreciate Andre Miller's playmaking ability because his assists don't make SC Top 10. People call the Spurs and Duncan "boring" because they are too fundamental. You know what, that's horsecrap to me. I find it EXCELLENT watching good, fundamental basketball the way the game should be played.It kinda saddens me that the true reality is that people would rather see someone throw down a 360 dunk and stack a highlight reel than watch a player (Duncan) play true fundamental basketball the right way and come out with a win.EDIT: About this topic, it is extremely difficult to even narrow it down to a list of 10 because I enjoy/appreciate watching the "boring players" just as much as watching Wade or Kobe. But even with everything I just said, I will admit, I love watching a nice play that gets put on SC Top 10, and yes I greatly enjoy watching Kobe, Iggy, Green, Carter, etc. throw down a nice dunk. But even then, it irks the hell out of me when I see someone say Duncan/Pistons/Spurs/etc. is boring, and I had to clear all of that up.

They don't get the big blocks that go into the 3rd row, but who cares?The way I see it - blocking a shot into the 3rd row makes you go "ooh" and "ahh", but at the end of the day, you didn't get that ball for your team. You made a highlight reel, but also gave them another fresh possession.So I think good man-to-man, lock-down defense is very underrated, and I think it's just as exciting to watch as Big Ben swat a shot 60 feet behind the offensive player.EDIT: typo

If we aren't going by quantity then Gerald Green and Josh Smith would have to be up there. Because they're very exciting, just haven't been around long enough to have as many exciting plays as some of these other guys.
