Best Player In The NBA Today?

If I was going to start my own basketball team and I was able to pick out any one player from the to lead the team I'd choose Dwyane Wade. I think Wade has the closest thing to the complete package that your going to get in the NBA. LeBron is a close second and Kobe, of course, isn't far behind. As far as positions go:

Center: Shaquille O'Neal
Power Forward: Elton Brand
Small Forward: LeBron James
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade
Point Guard: Steve Nash

Yea the way Wade plays right now will eventually burn his body out. he shouldnt try and force things by going inside but should stick outside around the perimeter or inside the arc.

I'd agree with Center, SF and PG.
But really I don't think Elton Brand is so good as Nowitzki is currently... Brand doesn't have this kind of shooting, speed and driving skills as Nowitzki...
And Dwyane Wade, maybe he is too young for these kind of honors?? He really needs to improve his outside touch and also his shot selection... He seems to be trusting himself for too many times... I'd put Kobe there...

D-Wade=Because,he can perfect dunk.
Kobe=Because,He is scorer,dunker,shooter.
Allen Iverson=Because,he can do incredible crossover and he can good shot in hard position.

Center: Shaquille O'Neal
Power Forward: Elton Brand
Small Forward: LeBron James
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade
Point Guard: Steve Nash

I can see going with that lineup too.

Dirk has played great, but it's really impossible to compare him to EB. If you're going for a power player, he is one of the best, and that's rare in the NBA today..

I consider Kobe as the one with the best package of skills and therefore the best individual player, but I don't believe the best skills = best player, because there's more than that to the whole picture. I'm starting to like Wade more and more, but people still tend to overrate him simply because he's playing on a talented team which offers him an opportunity to shine, but I do believe Lebron has a greater impact on his team and is therefore my favourite.

Personally, I dont put Lebron over Wade. They are about tied from my point of view for the past couple years in terms of impact in a game. I had Wade over Lebron before solely based on the fact that Lebron's team success is relatively new news. In fact, in Lebron's rookie year I thought Carmelo was better overall. I dont have the same view now though. Lebron is an excellent player but I think the public's view is kinda warped because the media labelled him as great before he ever did anything significant. We all know how people swallow up everything the media says these days. Look at the Roethlesberger (sp?) incident where ESPN took the news of knee injuries and ran to the bank with it, claiming it was serious when that was never the case. Had people freaking out all over the place. With Lebron, everything he does is excessively glorified...after hearing him labelled the king so often (while listening to ESPNs retarded music as he makes some simple layup) we all kinda start believing. He's finally starting to come around though.
