    I think 96 was better.

    Kobe = LeBron
    Iverson = Wade
    Nash > Melo
    Abdur-Rahim = Bosh

    Ray Allen, Peja, Jermaine, and Camby were all better than anyone else on that list in their primes.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I disagree with these two a lot. I don't consider Iverson, in his prime, to have been very close to Wade's young prime. Iverson was a near-superstar but his mediocre efficiency made him a lot less amazing than his hype. Wade is a true superstar.

    Nash also was immensely overrated. He didn't become dramatically better in Phoenix than he was in Dallas, but thanks to a statistics-inflating system, he got multiple MVPs and superstar billing when he was really just a normal caliber All Star...just like in Dallas.

    At best, I think Nash was as good as Anthony and I'd probably take Anthony over Nash. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to take Wade over Iverson.

    No kidding... I don't think there's more than five or six guys in that group of 60 I'd want on an NBA team, and only three of them (Redd, Przybilla, Turkoglu) could legitimately start in the NBA! Yick!
