Top players?

[beau_boy04]

Starting new season, whom are your top 5 players at each position?

These are mine:

C:
1. Shaq: maybe one or two more years of dominance for Shaq?
2. Yao Ming: too tall, too slow in my opinion
3. Ben Wallace: The contemporary Bill Russell?
4. Z: a good player when healthy.
5. N/A

PF:
1. Tim Duncan: considered the best all-time PF already?
2. Kevin Garnett: former MVP, does everything for his team.
3. Amare Stoudemire: now they've got K Thomas to play the C.
4. Dirk Nowitzi: becoming one of the best all-around players.
5. Jermaine O'Neal: flourishing each and every year.

SF:
1. Lebron James: enough said!
2. Tracy McGrady: a very explosive scorer
3. Paul Pierce: very good player.
4. Shawn Marion: even though his natural positon is the 2
5. Manu Ginobili: is not bias! this guy is marvelous.

SG:
1. Kobe Bryant: one of the best 1 on 1 player.
2. Vince Carter:The Vinsanity is back!
3. Ray Allen: outstanding shooter from all angles.
4. N/A
5. N/A

PG:
1. Dywade Wade: I would rather this guy than the 2 listed below him.
2. Jason Kidd: he is more versatile than Nash
3. Steve Nash: mr. MVP?
4. Allen Iverson: an excellent scorer!
5. Gilbert Arenas: has developed into a good PG finally!

A few reasons why I have a few people where they are. I don't think of Iverson as a point guard, even though he played point guard this past year. Same thing why I don't think Wade is a PG, Damon Jones played it this year and Wade isn't a true PG. Amare is more of a PF, and Marion is more of a SF.
