    Best "Highlight" Player

    Watching the NBA you obviously see amazing plays because of the great talent. Which player in your opinion makes the best and the most highlights? Top 10 please.


    IMO:


    1. Kobe Bryant
    2. Vince Carter
    3. Josh Smith
    4. Andre Igoudala
    5. Amare Stoudemire
    6. Dwyane Wade
    7. LeBron James
    8. Monta Ellis
    9. Tracy McGrady
    10. Baron Davis



    Its really difficult to pick because there are so many great "highlight players." I can understand if pretty much anybody is on this list.

    1. Kobe Bryant
    2. Vince Carter
    3. LeBron James
    4. Dwyane Wade
    5. Tracy McGrady
    6. Jason Richardson
    7. Allen Iverson
    8. Amare Stoudemire
    9. Andre Igoudala
    10. Josh Smith

    1. Kobe Bryant - he just amazes
    2. Vince Carter - that one dunk then change to lay up is just wow wow wow
    3. LeBron James - the way he dunks the ball so easily
    4.Josh Smith - i love watching guards go up there and block shots, rebound, steal and DUNK
    5. Gerald Wallace - see josh smith
    6. Dwight Howard - how do u not have him on your list? this child is a beast
    7. Andre Igoudala - always nice to see a player develop in front of you, and even better when they throw down monstrous dunks
    8. Amare Stoudemire - how do you stop him, so explosive
    9. Steve Nash - he makes the whole team fun to watch
    10. Bosh - its always more fun watching ur favourite player

    hmmm which player makes the most and best highlights.

    1. Vince Carter (May not be as often as Josh Smith or Nash/Amare, but when things click right he has done made some amazing highlights)
    2. Josh Smith (I always seem to see something from him in the highlights)
    3. Nash/Amare/Marion
    4. Wade (when healthy)
    5. Kobe
    6. Trevor Ariza (just his facials are awesome)
    7. J-Rich (when healthy probably above Wade)
    8. Tmac
    9. Ben Gordon
    10. Dwight Howard
    11. Gerald Wallace
    12. Igoudala (I probably should have him higher)

    I was about to put Trevor Ariza and Dwight Howard but I didn't want to look like a complete homer.

    Ariza is definitely up there though in my mind.

    Lebron is NOT in my top 5... His dunks are so boring, they are all the same no variation. Same goes to Josh Smith, but at least he has some nice blocks once in a while.

    1. Kobe
    2. Dwayne Wade
    3. Vince Carter
    4. Dwight Howard
    5. Josh Smith
    6. Lebron James
    7. Andr? Igoudala
    8. Steve Nash
    9. Blur said it: Tyrus Thomas
    10. Gerald Wallace

    I wouldn't really consider Kobe a highlight player because his best plays are usually jumpshots, and he isn't really Top 5 in terms of athleticism. When I think of highlights, I think of freakishly monstrous plays.

    1. Vince Carter
    2. Andre Iguodala
    3. LeBron James
    4. Jason Richardson (when healthy)
    5. Josh Smith

    1. Vince Carter (He may not do it as often anymore, but when he does it's always a candidate for Play of the Year)

    2. Dwyane Wade (Some of the sots he makes are just amazing)

    3. Dwight Howard (I love seeing him just go above people and slam it down, he elevates so much)

    4. Kobe (The reason he's not higher is because he does the same dunk every time and it gets a bit old after a while)

    5. LeBron James (Like Kobe, that same little dunk gets old)

    6. J-Rich (He can do some of the craziest dunks I've seen in games)

    7. Andre Iguodala (Crazy Ups)

    8. Amare (Power dunks of his are sick)

    9. Josh Smith (He just rejects people all the time and does some crazy dunks)

    10. Gerald Wallace (Just like Smith)

    Tyrus Thomas. That block and then the fastbreak dunk against New Orleans was unbelievable.

    Well when Kobe amazes me, most of the time it's due to some crazy layup or Jumper he made that had a high degree of difficulty (not necessarily a dunk but he's not bad in that category either; with more variety than LeBron).

    My favorites are Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Ben Wallace, and LeBron James. I like the blocks and monster put-backs. I like passes as well so maybe I should add someone like Jason Kidd or Steve Nash to the list possibly.
