Chris Bosh is my favourite player in the NBA. I think right now, he is one of the most valuable players in the league. His experiences in the NBA had changed him into the player he his today. He was just a rookie being compared to Kevin Garnett as he entered the league, which is a kind of big shoe to fill. Now he is on top of the league and his statistics say it all. Chris Bosh is currently 3rd in the league in scoring (26.7 pts/g), 6th in rebounding (10.5 rebs/g), and he’s leading his team with those stats. He pretty much put Toronto on his back. He has more heart and more drive. He never gives up, unlike what Vince Carter did to us (Fuck him). Anyways, on top of giving Toronto the Conference title, he has a gold medal to go with it, along with 3 appearances in the NBA All-Star game. CB4 ALL DAY!!
One name comes up to mind, Kevin Garnett. Drafted 5th overall in the 1995 NBA draft he became the first NBA player to be drafted directly from high school in 20 years. Drafted by the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves in 95, he averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game and was voted into the All-Rookie Second Team. In the following years Garnett became now known as the franchise player for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves had a mini run in the playoffs from 2001-2004 but after that things just went down for Garnett. The Thing that amazes me is that Garnett never complained about his team or how he wanted to get traded unlike other players in the NBA. Every game, Kevin played like it was his last, always giving 100% on the court. He simply has heart, man theirs an interview where he starts crying because the Timberwolves do not make the playoffs. Garnett is one of the best all around players in the league. He is a dominant player on both ends of the court. Not only does he show his commitment to his team, but he also is a great player, a solid 20 point scorer who averages 10 rebounds and over four assists. He is also a great defensive player who averages 1.5 steals and nearly two blocks as well as being one of the best help defenders in the league. He is also an incredible leader who is as passionate about the game as any superstar in the league. Every coach in the NBA wished they had KG on their team.
Some say Dwight Howard, some say Yao Ming. But from where I stand, the best center in the league is definitely Yao Ming. Yao is a player who has the jump-hook, hook shot, fade-away, turnaround jumper. He has it all. Howard is a player who does not need to be double teamed to be stopped. Just watch the 2008 playoffs, Magic vs. Pistons; he was shut down by the one on one defence of Jason Maxiell, Rasheed Wallace, and Antonio McDyess. Yao also is a much better passer by miles, as well as being a better free-throw shooter. These factors are important for the fact that he can easily get out of double teams and isn't a liability in the fourth quarter. To add to this, Yao dominates Howard every single time they play; there has never been a game where Howard has outplayed Yao.
No knock on Dwight Howard, but he's just not fully developed as an overall player yet. He is smart with the shot-blocking and is a terrific rebounder. Yao has been injury prone the past couple of seasons which would make people say he isn’t the best centre in the NBA. But when healthy, Yao is a beast and opposing centres wish they don’t have to guard him.
