Not a bad list- but wheres the love for the pure shooters?

Reggie Miller and Ray Allen perfected the art of the catch and shoot with an uncanny quick release. Thats real skill that takes countless hours of practice. Its easy to get caught up in the awesome athletic ability, sheer size and raw power of nba players but I like watchin the professionals who can hit that corner three in big time games with ice in their veins.

Other guys that come to mind: Bird, Steve Kerr, Steve Nash, Kapono

Quality list Kyle. Somehow I missed the CP3 story until now... he is the man!

Beginning with MJ and end with AI, I gotta copy you there. Call me KRAZY, but I'd run with Shawn "The Reign Man" Kemp AND The Glove in my personal fave 5 too. That leaves one more spot for none other than Sam "Big Smooth" Perkins! He was just too fun to watch.

A few more for the books: Stockton/Malone combo deal, Tim Hardaway back in the day, Garnett and Marbury before he went nuts...

Speaking of Big Smooth, I saw him a few weeks ago at a conference and he very well could be the starting left tackle for New York Giants these days. Big man, great baller. What I wouldn't give to go up against him in a 3-point contest!

I'm gonna go down by position because I love this stuff:

PG- Stockton. What do you want from a PG? Steals? Check. Assists? Check. Maestro of the pick and roll? check.

SG- Jordan.

SF- Larry Legend

PF/C (ok he's a center so I'm cheating)- Bill Russell. The rings say the story. There's a reason they now call it the "Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award".

C- Arvydas Sabonis: Seriously check out the descriptions/ highlights on him in the USSR days. Even when he was robbed of his hops (damn communist medicine) he was still the best passing big man ever.

Honorable mentions: Oscar Robertson, Hakeem, Shaq, Clyde,

My Five Favorite NBA Guys: John Stockton, Anthony Peeler, Larry Krystkowiak, Gary Payton, Larry Bird. None of these guys are supremely talented like the KH18 list (GP never did learn how to shoot an 18-footer) but they were cagey and hardworking. Peeler gave my son a gift certificate to FX McCrory's after a '98 playoff game in Seattle, so he's on the list for being a good guy.

If Lebron develops Kobe's water jumper, he will be better than Jordan.

He can't shoot consistently probably because he has the worst looking shot in the history of the NBA.

But, I'm more excited to watch his contract negotiations play out.
