Most probably know I'm a big Kobe fan, but I'm also a fair-minded person. If I would place Kobe first it would be because of what he has done in past years and therefore what I know he can do now if his team needed it(which it does tonight because the Blazers are waxin' the Lakers right now). I remember Kobe's 40+month of Feb, 2003(with a good number of rbs and assists too). Also his 5 straight games of 50 points, 81 in a game, 62 in 3 quarters.....etc. Lebron and Wade have yet to match those type of performances over the length of time that Kobe has.

Having said all that, for this season I could easily agree with 1-Wade, 2-Lebron, 3-Kobe. Wade is hoopin', big time! I'm surprised Wade is not getting as much press as Lebron (but not really). The NBA has already crowned Lebron "King" before he has won a ring.

But, if Wade gets MVP this yearthe league should take those from Nash and Nowitski and give them to Kobe, imo. Which is it (MVP), Best player or Best player on one of the best teams?? I think MVP should always be "Best player with the most valuable basketball skills"

wade had himself another huge game tonight. He's making a big push for MVP these past couple weeks. I still don't think it will be enough to overtake Lebron, but he deserves some serious consideration. And to the post above, with me being an objective fan and having no bias towards kobe or wade, i can't argue with one thing yousaid. I have no doubt that Wade would be just as affective as kobe if he was on the lakers

just reading about it and looking at it i say it is a low AA. 7.5 - 8.0 is what i see

This is a little off topic, but do any of you see consoles in the future using digital distribution as a replacement for BC. I mean you can download games now on PSN for example from the PS1. Do you think they will just eliminate BC to save cost, and then offer full game library from the previous generations. I know that would piss a lot of people off cause they would have to rebuy a game they may already have a hard copy of. This thought just came to my mind while reading this post. Do you think this can or will happen, or something similar to this?

[QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]

the price is fine. Some of you need to get your lazy asses up and work , either that or stop complaining Sonic_on_crack

I second that. I think the price is fine too. You get a Game system ($200), Blu-Ray player ($200). How many 360 onwers have the Elite?

A quick survey of the comments results in thesebeing the top 3 worst big men:

1) Kwame Brown 2) Michael Olowakandi 3) Shaun Bradley

best college player - blake griffin

best future pro - jodie meeks and it's not even close imo

Where do you rank Stacey King on this list. I remember him being a good college player but a bust with the Bulls. Wasn't he a high first round pick? I do think Kwame has him beat though. Hate to say it but some say MJ "broke" Kwame, his confidence that is. If he had came in under anyone else, maybe things would have been different.....some have said.mont13

Comments on the "Kobe/Laker watch" prompts me to ask:

Who's your vote for the saddest NBA big-men ever (power forwards or centers)? I'm sure I'm leaving some out but mine are:

1) Jon Koncak, OMG!!, 2) Kwame Brown, catch the ball would ya! 3) The dude on the Knicks that missed the lay-up two or three trys, that would have given them a victory over the Bulls in he play-offs,... something Williams!, come on Knicks fans, I know you remember!:P

Honorable Mention: Chris Dudely, G. Ostertag, Darn near every Indiana Pacer center the last 20 years!! ha,ha,...(I live in Indy!!) :D

Sam Bowie (any bball fan knows what he's most famous for)

Michael Olowakandi

Shawn Bradley

Just to name a few. All three of those were lottery picks and the Candy man was the number 1 pick like Kwame. There were great expectations on all of them they never came close to living up to them. And as for the Pacers centers, I can make an argument that Ric Smits was a top 5 center in the 90's behind the likes of Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq and Ewing.
