Josh Smith



Dwight Howard



Lebron James



how and why would they win? Score them



and any1 else you think would have a great shot and why?



Who wins the 2009 mock slam dunk contest?nba live 2007





First off I would like to say thanx for putting Josh Smith as a choice, he is often overlooked!!!



Okay here are my ratings:



1. Josh Smith - He is a mad dunker!!!



2. Dwight Howard - SUPERMAN!!!



3. Vince Carter - Has skills



4. Lebron James - Close to being the best!!!



5. Kobe Bryant - Good but not great!!



Who wins the 2009 mock slam dunk contest?nba betting ,nba teams



Vince or Dwight
Amare Stoudemire would win with a free throw dunk
its rising star not nba veteran!
Dwight Howard, no doubt. He takes creativity to the next level. And I think you should have Gerald Green on the list. He was in it for the last two years, and he has constantly proved to be a great dunker.
Vince Carter...

What powder do nba players use?

I see Lebron James using some powder before he comes into the game. I was just wondering what it is an what it does?



What powder do nba players use?nba





baby powder....



What powder do nba players use?nhl ,nba teams



Baby powder, to dry the sweat off their hands. Lebron wants to "be like Mike" by using it, as Jordan was infamous for his use of baby powder.
its baby powder
Baby powder, it stops your hands from sweating so you can grip the ball better.
it could just be talcum or baby powder to dry the hands. i also heard the announcers say that it is rosin powder. rosin is the same kind that the baseball pitchers use. this is the one they usually have in a bag behind the mound and toss around on their hand to help their grip since rosin has a friction-increasing capacity.
its prabably just a deoderant or somthing to make his skin dry so he wont sweat as much or maybe just for grip for his hands



usually its just to close up pores so the face wont sweat alot
johnson and johnson baby powder
baby powder, removes the oil from your hands so you have a smooth stroke and control of the ball.

To Paul fans who is asking the most impressive player so far in the playoffs?

Here is the answer to your question with 304,248 WORLDWIDE VOTES!



Here is your answer and stop crying!



Which player do you think has been the most impressive so far in the playoffs?



Kobe Bryant 47%



Chris Paul 29%



LeBron James 9%



Dwight Howard 9%



Joe Johnson 6%



Total Responses: 304284



It's not even close!



Kobe is the MVP for the regular season and Kobe has the best performance in the playoff!



To Paul fans who is asking the most impressive player so far in the playoffs?nba.com





Paul fans are annoying!



Why can't they accept that Paul isn't better than Kobe!



They are getting OWNED left and right!



To Paul fans who is asking the most impressive player so far in the playoffs?baseball ,nba teams



Well, 50% of people are Kobe fans so that does not suprise me.



Kobe Bryant is in his prime.



Chris Paul isn't even 23 years old yet.



So you excpect this kid to be better than Kobe?



Chris Paul stats at 23 (this season)



21.1 PPG, 11.6 APG, 4.0 RPG, 2.7 SPG, 2.5 TOPG 48.8FG%.



Kobe Bryant stats at 23:



25.2 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.8 TOPG, 46.9 FG%.



Chris Paul is better at 23 than Kobe was, so he will be better than Kobe at 28 (Kobe's age) as well.



Chris Paul is the 2nd best player in the league at 23. Kobe was #2 on his team at 23.
LEBRON OWNS THEM ALL... the sad thing is he is putting up a TRIPLE DOUBLE AND THAT ISNT EVEN GOOD NUFF, now thats SCARYYYYYYYY!!! THAT MAN IS JUST OUT RIGHT SICK



Kobe Bryant had a marvelous season, and he's probably the second-best overall player in the NBA (. But the MVP? Let's think for a second. At the end of January, the Lakers were 28-16 and had lost four out of five games 鈥?largely because of the loss of Andrew Bynum with a knee injury. On Feb. 1, they acquired Pau Gasol in one of the most one-sided trades in recent memory. They finished 29-9. That's a won-lost percentage of .636 without Gasol and .763 with him. Could the argument not be made that Gasol was the final piece for the Lakers, that as great as Bryant was, the Lakers would not have been the No. 1 seed in the West without the trade?
no he hasnt!!!!



first of all Kobe went against the WORST team at defense in the league



Chris Paul went against a good defensive Dallas team known for their Defense, and Paul has no doubt the best performance through the playoffs so far



i still know that Kobe is best in league but the best playoff performances so far would go to CP3



no disrespect to Kobe
Kobe is the best player in the NBA . . CP is not even close to Kobe's talents and skills . . . if you think CP is the best then you don't know anything about basketball! you are just a bandwagoner!!

Is anyone else sick of Kobe and Lebron or is everyone living in the moment like David Stern?

Everytime i hear "one man show" i think of the lakers and the cavs. Everytime i hear "Kobe" and "King James" i think they should start a 1 on 1 league so they can be the only people to win championships. Is teamwork a lost art only found by a couple teams especially the spurs (which i think is the reason for there successful), or has the NBA already became a daily one man show?



Is anyone else sick of Kobe and Lebron or is everyone living in the moment like David Stern?nba draft history





yes i am sick of hearing about lebron not so much of kobe anymore because they don't talk about him as much as they do lebron.



The spurs are never talked about i mean there hardly on abc on sundays and lebron and kobe are on every other week even though the spurs are better than both of them



Is anyone else sick of Kobe and Lebron or is everyone living in the moment like David Stern?nba playoffs 2007 ,nba teams



I am definately sick of them especially kobe
the NBA is not only marketing the teams, it is marketing the players too. because of this, it generates a very individualistic, almost selfish, environment because if you stand out then you get all the attention, endorsements, etc. the media doesnt help either. it's paradise for a guy trying to market the league such as david stern and his front office, but it's a nightmare for people who like watching pure, fundamental basketball. if you really dislike the individualism of the NBA so much, i suggest watching morecollegebasketball. its way more fundamentally sound, the players play more motivated, its more of a team game, and march madness is really fun to watch.
its called being superstar ! and who would want wacth spurs?? i mean come on lets be real how i am going to have fun watching spurs ? they are freakin boring ... and i think lakers story is diffent than last couple of year you hear about pau and bynum all the time .

How would you list these following players?

as top 10 draft pick? pretend that they all come out of highschool, in their prime, who would you draft top 10, in order, any 10 from the list



baron davis



shaquille o'neal



lebron james



kobe bryant



carmelo anthony



gilbert arenas



vince carter



jason richardson



gerald green



kevin garnett



amare stoudemire



jason kidd



dwight howard



tracy mcgrady



kevin durant



dwayne wade



tim duncan



lamar odom



ray allen



and who would you have on your team, only 2 players and why?



How would you list these following players?nba gear





1. Shaq - most dominant ever, make his sidekick a superstar, 4 rings 3 as a star 1 as a super sidekick.



2. Tim Duncan - The most consistent player in nba starting from rookie till now. 4 rings I believe 2 sidekick 2 as a star



3. Lebron James - You did not see his prime yet so you will have to imagine what kind of a beast once he can shoot more like kobe.



4. Kobe Bryant - the weaker version of lebron james but with more range. 81 points and has the heart of wanting to become the star of the team.



5. Kevin Garnett - One of the best rebounder that we know that actually can score a lot and do a little pass. Has been consistent also and trying to find his first nba finals ring.



6. Jason Kidd - Triple double dude, doesn't care about any scoring, all he cares is winning.



7. Dwayne wade - You still don't know his prime yet so this is what scary about 03 draft class.



8. Baron Davis - The only thing that can stop him is injury and lazy to workout. If he hasn't get injury in the first place he could be the best point guard.



9. Dwight Howard - another one that we don't know when his prime coming. I believe his prime he'll grab at least 15 rebounds per game and score 20+ will be unstopable. of course he need to learn to do turnaround jumper.



10. Carmelo Anthony - another 03 draft class that you will have to imagine how his prime will be by the way he's playing right now.



11. Amare Stoudamire - I have to put this here because he's good but injury has taken over him and if he doesn't show anything better from last season, then he will not go up.



2 player I want in my team will be SHAQ and Dwayne wade. The reason I pick Dwayne wade and not kobe because he doesn't care if he is the sidekick of shaq. He like to contribute the ball more instead of scoring them. Unless he has to take over the game with his speed and balance. Shaq prime owns all so wade could have around 10 assist per game.



How would you list these following players?nba finals 2007 ,nba teams



First off, I'd pick the guys who played in college. If you bothered to get your head out of your *** and actually see the guys that came straight from high school, they take three or four years to really get good - something they should be doing in college, not the pros.



Anyway, my top 7 (can't do 10 - sorry):



1. Shaquille O'Neal (LSU)



2. Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse - won acollegechampionship over THE MOST OVERRATED TEAM EVER!)



3. Dwayne Wade (Marquette)



4. Tim Duncan (Wake)



5. Gilbert Arenas (Arizona)



6. Jason Kidd (Cal)



7. Vince Carter (UNC)



Of these, I'd pick Carmelo and Kidd.
lebron james



tim duncan



kobe bryant



shaq



kevin garnett



dwayne wade



tracy mcgrady



ray allen



carmelo anthony



jason kidd



Paul Pierce , Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitski should make it somewhere on there too but they were left off the list....



Who would I draft? Probably Lebron James or Tim Duncan and Deron Williams because he is going to be the next Steve Nash for a long time to come.
Shaq



Lebron James



Tim Duncan



Dwight Howard



Kobe Bryant



KG



Amare Stoudemire



Dwayne wade



Baron Davis



Jason Kidd
wade and howard... both unselfish players... both dont have big egos... one guard and a center... both young legs... one leader (in wade) and one solid support player in howard.... both has more potential and hasn't reached their peak yet... not so explosive but very effective... plays superb defense...
My first pick goes to.....



Shaquille O'Neal



2nd pick ......



Kobe Bryant



3rd Pick ......



Kevin Garnett



4th pick .......



LeBron James



5th pick ......



Tracy McGrady



6th pick ......



Tim Duncan



7th pick .......



Carmelo Anthony



8th pick .......



Dwayne Wade



9th pick .......



Vince Carter



10th pick goes to ........



Jason Kidd



on my team, I would like to have Kevin Garnett and Jason Kidd.... Both are team players!!
1. Lebron James 2. Shaq 3. Kevin Garnett 4. Kobe Bryant 5. Dwayne Wade 6. Jason Kidd 7. Amare Stoudemire 8. Tracy Mcgrady 9. Dwight Howard 10. Tim Duncan If this weren't supposed to be right out of high school, my list would be very different. Duncan would definitily be a lot higher. As for the 2 on my team......I choose Lebron James and Kevin Garnett. Lebron because he has everything....size in the backcourt (that's where I'd play him) And he can do everything. Garnett because....well...size in the frontcourt, and he can do everything. Both players can rebound, pass, score when they want and just completely take over a game if they have too. Garnett is not one of my favorite players, but you can't argue over THAT much talent.
1. Shaq led every team to the finals, not to mention making his sidekicks into Superstars.



2. Tim Duncan made the Spurs a dynasty.



3. Lebron James is like MJ, the 3th pick. That's about as close to MJ he can get, for now...



4. Kevin Garnett could lead teams to rings, but his coaches sucked.



5. Dwayne Wade is a proven leader and can win in clutch situations.



6. Tracy McGrady puts a heavy load over his shoulders, it's both good and bad. Good because he's trying to be a good leader, bad because he is giving himself too much pressure.



7. Amare Stoudemire could win eventually... I guess. He's also the fastest center on the list.



8. Ray Allen made a movie right out of high-school. The hype should follow him.



9. Jason Kidd can make people around him better. If I already got a decent player, I wouldn't mind getting Kidd.



10. Dwight Howard. Nothing can go terribly wrong when you draft a big guy.
1. Shaq



2. LBJ



3. J-Kidd



4. Kobe



5. Tim Duncan



6. Dwayne Wade



7. Vince Carter



8. KG



9. Baron Davis



10. Carmelo
shaq - you HAVE to take an in-prime shaq first, the most dominant player of our time... see all the hoopla over oden? its because having a skilled center is probably the hardest spot to fill



kobe - short of having a sure center mismatch in shaq, you take jordan-lite, the 23-clone



duncan - as much as i hate his boring personality and boring game, his moves are unstoppable and he plays good D



lebron - as much as i hate his hype, the boy is good, and a great scorer AND passer, very rare



garnett - a more versatile version of duncan without a title



kidd - one of the best floor generals of all time



stoudemire - like shaq, except with crazy athleticism



wade - good scorer, but he's here more because of his toughness, fearlessness and killer instinct



carter - here because in his prime he was one of the 10 best players on the planet



mcgrady - ditto for T-Mac
kobe bryant



lebron james



tim duncan



kevin garnett



amare stoudemire



dwight howard



dwayne wade



tracy mcgrady



carmelo anthony



gilbert arenas



jason kidd



shaquille o'neal



vince carter



ray allen



baron davis



lamar odom



jason richardson



kevin durant



gerald green



on my team i would want kobe and steve nash



even though hes not on the list



by the list i wold want kobe and garnett
1 kobe kobe has just enterd his prime he'll have a good 4-7 years until he's out of it



2 shaq the most dominant player of all time



3 dwade the best of the 04 class



he can shoot and has that killer instict like MJ



4 gilbert has potential



he can soot from baseline to half court and he's not even 26 yet



5 amare came back from knee sugeries and is developing a jumper what if he started shooting threes!!!!!



6 carmello most polished offensive game today besides kobe he can shoot dribble and most importantly score on you with only 3 dribbles or less



7 tim duncan his low post dominance speaks for itself



8 tracy mcgrady back with orlando and toronto he was an animal



9 kidd because his prime will not run out he will be affective till he retiires



10 kevin garnett solid 24 12 what more can you ask for



10 lebron i think lebron has reached his potential seriously what else can he get better at shooting is the only thing i can think of but he probably won't get better at that



kobe and tim duncan



kobe is the best player in the game (maybe ever)



and duncan is that dominant big man that has all the skill a post player needs
1. Shaq



2. Tim Duncan



3. Kobe Bryant



4. Dwyane Wade



5. KG



6. Jason Kidd



7. Dwight Howard



8. Tracy McGrady



9. Lebron James



10. Carmelo Anthony



2 Players: Shaq and Kobe. Arguably the best guard/center combo of all time.

other people i've thought of putting are small forward lebron james in 3-5 years. power forward will either be tim duncan or charles barkley. with 2 different playing styles, its hard to chose. and its hard to pick a center since basketball has alway been a big mans game, but i have narrowed it down to either bill russel, wilt chamberlain, kareem abdul-jabbar, or shaquille o'neal.

PF Charles Barkley - the only one on this list without a NBA championship but at 6'4" he was a tenacious rebounder %26amp; played with enthusiasim every night.



C Wilt Chamberlain - 100 points in a game, 50.4 points per game in a season, never fouled out of a game, lead the LEAGUE in a assists one year %26amp; was the league MVP in his rookie year the 1st of only two guys to ever do that!!!
