- kinglear, on 05/09/2008, -2/+18Anyone else notice that all of those are usually first names except Garnett?
- reynolds3g, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11Kobe had a great season(obviously with the MVP) and should be a unanimous selection, but how is Lebron not? He put up 30/8/7 this year, statistically ridiculous. Who got a first place vote over Lebron at his position?
- Rethcir, on 05/09/2008, -1/+10This is not the olympic team they're talking about, dumbass
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8I'm getting tired of people who blindly copy and paste blurbs into descriptions. That description is a mess.
- thedogfatherx, on 05/09/2008, -2/+9Good for them. They are all great players. Ohhhh I miss the days of the 1992 dream team.
Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns via trade from the Philadelphia 76ers
Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics
Clyde Drexler of the Portland Trail Blazers
Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks
Earvin "Magic" Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers
Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls
Christian Laettner of Duke University
Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz
Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors
Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls
David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs
John Stockton of the Utah Jazz - Timmaay, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Chris Paul Paul Kobe Bryant Bryant
- pumpedvideo, on 05/09/2008, -2/+83 of them are under 25.
4 of them didn't go to college - Rethcir, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5But they're still not talking about the olympic team.
- gymbrall, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Chris Paul Paul Kobe Bryant Bryant?
Is that his full name? - dwatten, on 05/09/2008, -5/+10Only if Obama had Hillary's crossover and McCain's power in the low post
- cadmiumpaint, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Lebron's a great player, but ONLY if he has someone else around him to help out. The Celtics have been writing the manual on how to shut him down (with the Spurs from last season) Jordan had Pippen. Lebron can't and won't do it alone.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5One college guy, eh?
- JNudda, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Awesome to see Paul recognized for his amazing season.
- ronaldinho, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Well after KG wins a title with the Celtics, I may very well convince my friend to name his son "Garnett"
- Timmaay, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5Obviously you haven't been watching the playoffs.
- Muligan21, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Kobe just make sure you send a big thank you to Pau Gasol. Kobe's put up better numbers in his career than this season and the Lakers winning has very little to do with Kobe. He's been doing this statistically for years, not winning, whining, threatening to leave, and poof they get Gasol. They start winning. Gasol has 30 and 19 the other night and they talked about Kobe's performance. Get with it NBA... he's good, heck he's great but give credit where credit is properly due.
- cadmiumpaint, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3he didnt do much with the Wizards. lol
- badave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3He needed many someones to help him win a title. He was in the league for 6 years before he won, you know.
NCAA is easy comparatively. - INDOAZZ, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2No problems with this list.
- badave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2It's the top 5 players of the entire league. Really hard list to get onto and the Pistons players play as a team, so they are less likely to be recognized as individuals like those on this list.
- badave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Well, the 08 Dream Team is turning out to be something. It will likely be: Paul, Bryant, James, Howard, Anthony, Bosh, Stoudemire, Kidd, Williams, Redd, Chandler, and Billups.
- RealmDown, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I do not agree with your statement, but the visual you provide isn't bad.
- SnuKs, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I'm sure they'll make a move for another big name in the offseason. I think Lebron is gonna pull a Kobe Summer of 07 and scare everyone in the front office along with his team to step it up in training.
- exeprime, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2You sir, are a moron.
- MarkCiccone, on 05/09/2008, -3/+5Is there something wrong with the description of this story?
- ronaldinho, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2The only gripe I have with that list is Paul Pierce on the Third instead of the Second team. He played better defense and gave up offense for the team even though he's the C's best offensive player and helped them to 66 wins. I like Dirk but the Mavs just weren't that good this year
I also had Chris Paul as MVP instead of Kobe (Hornets were even more of a surprise than the Lakers), but Kobe deserved it too. He's the one guy who can control the game anytime he wants to - Timmaay, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3I do agree with you that the celtics are doing a great job keeping Lebron off track, but Jordan was ***** on people from the time he started playing with the Tar Heels, he didn't "need" anyone.
- migitalwarfare, on 05/09/2008, -3/+5agreed
- badave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Not the Olympic team, but with the exception of Garnett, all the others are on the Olympic team.
- harrison5394, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2The only connection you have with basketball is watching Space Jam one too many times in the 90s. You don't know ***** about the sport, therefore you should shut up.
- threemagic, on 05/09/2008, -2/+4all of them are richer than god
- ats314, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2and this is what happens when nerds watch sports.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2There are only 5 names on the '08 list that belong in the same company as even the lowest names on the list '92 list, and one of them (kidd) is a downwardly productive slide in the twilight of his career. That '92 list is full of superstars for all-time in their prime or in highly productive twilights of their respective careers.
- bloggerjul, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1the nba gives priority to players longer in the league before their chances of winning decrease in the years...
- webshowpro, on 05/09/2008, -0/+159 wins, and not a top 15 player seems a little strange....
- threemagic, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1I realize my sentence wasn't verbose.. when I said 3 levels, I mean all-nba squad 1, 2, 3... it's not in the title but the do list 2nd team and 3rd team in the article... .so it's 15 players.
- ronaldinho, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Well, what forward position they play in don't matter. The truth is that LeBron IS the Cavaliers, while the Suns has gone to the conference finals WITHOUT Amare. Put Amare on that Cavs team and they will be a lottery team, and I don't see Amare putting a 30-8-8 in a season. That is just absurd. LeBron is as superhuman a player as I have ever seen. Amare is NOT EVEN CLOSE.
- BetterOffEd, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1I give a ***** about basketball. It just seems that all Boston fans live in this bubble where they think the rest of the world is actually cheering for them as well.
Sometimes there are other teams. And sometimes they are (GASP) better.
. - CH3CH2OH, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Howard
James
Bryant
Paul
Hmm... I suppose. - 89vision, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1lol
- phyx726, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Amare is a power forward, Lebron is a small forward. So if he were to be in the 1st team he would have to be better than KG which he probably isn't. Amare has Steve Nash and plays a fast pace offense which results in a lot of points. Lebron runs the offense with no help and plays a relatively slow offense but still manages nearly a triple double per game.
- Timmaay, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Not you, NERD!
:-0 - kingvik, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Except the Laker's were winning this year before they got Gasol.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1How odd, aside from Garnett, the other last names are all common first names.
- xtinamo, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I'd take they guy whose team actually made it past the 1st round and didn't get nearly swept.
- harrison5394, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Here we come Beijing!
- alacrity2005, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Idiot
- BetterOffEd, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Shoulda been Shaq instead of Laettner. Possibly the biggest miscast ever.
Could you imagine if that team had Shaquille as well?
. - mozzep, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1By that same token, if the lakers had gasol and not kobe, they would be in an even worse position than if they only had kobe and not gasol... look at Memphis over the past few years, they sucked.
It takes (at least) two great players on a team. The lakers are surprisingly lucky to have Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Bynum and a good bench. They are set for the next couple years while Kobe is in his prime. - ricepicker4000, on 05/09/2008, -0/+14 out of the 5 players are representing America in the olypmics, so its kind of relevant.
