Amare but i dunno if he can get up still following his knee surgery (he had the same surgery as Penny hardaway who went all downhill from the operation).  I would then give it to Lebron, he gets up and can slam it on anyone.  I also like T-MAC (ask Shawn bradley) and Vince Carter.  KG is really good but he isnt as spectacular as lebron.

Probably Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. I saw him play in a celebrity basketball game at the Cortez Hankton NFL Celebrity Weekend at Texas Southern University. He had some amazing dunks. Marcus Stroud of the Jacksonville Jaguars was there and he can get up there pretty good for a big man.

Joakim Noah is probably the best power foward out there. A versatile player with excellent shot blocking ability, Noah led those Florida Gators to the national championship. The beauty part....he is back next season.

Well since all these players you have now actually at one point in there careers played for the dream team I will stay with only those players (1992-current olympic team members).\nI love the choice at center Hakeem was one of the most athletic centers ever he also was a great kick out passer and was not selfish with the ball. \n\nI don't mind Tim Duncan at PF although I probably would have gone with Karl Malone when he played for the Dream team he was young athletic quick and one of the best rebounders in the league.\n\nI don't know if moving Jordan to SF is the best choice because the team currently would be better served with a shooter at this spot Bird could work if you wanted a deep shooter (taking nothing away from reggie he is one of my all-time favorites). I might also consider Scottie Pippen because Michael and him were teamates or Charles Barkley for energy hustle and rebounds.\n\nSG=Michael Jordan\n\nAllen Iverson would in my opinion take to many shots as a point guard to be on a Dream team where ever player on the team is a better overall player than he is. I would pick a distrubuter possibly John Stockton great at assists and chemistry with teams PF Malone but in the end I would go with Magic because this is an athletic run and gun team and Johnson lead showtime.\n\nMy team would be:\n\nC- Hakeem Olajuwon\nPF- Karl Malone\nSF- Larry Bird\nSG- Jordan...\nPG- Magic Johnson

Without question...PHILLY!!  The matrix...(with that ugly jumper) is a constant double double guy.....can put up big #'s like AI.  Has the ability to play the 2 guard.....the 3 spot and the power forward....AI???  At best a hybrid point guard. Don't get me wrong AI is fearless, but he is a short scorer. Additionally with the trend of the NBA,  players are more freaky than ever. On average most teams have a least two 7 footers.  6'3+ point guards....6'7+ shooting guards and shooting forwards 6'8 to 6'9.  Shawn can guard ANY of those positions because of his height and length.  Last point....with AI being a new addition to the Suns....who do you start???  AI or Stevie.....or worse yet....start them both??  Not the best front court tandem defensively.

Dominique was the best 'in game' dunker of all time. His dunks were far more exciting to watch than Jordan's.\n\nShawn Kemp had a couple of good years, but never truly came close to Wilkins in the dunking department. \n\nKemp tried to take off from the foul line and dunk one year in the slam dunk contest...  he mis-timed his steps and by the time he took off, he was like 3 feet over the line... Kemp was a joke.

Kevin McHale was the best power forward I've ever seen. He was "Mr Automatic" when he got the ball in the low post.

SHAQ, everyone knows that.\nYao is HORRIBLE.

This is an extremely difficult question to poise at this term given the current state of the NBA.  Are there any dominant players around?  Any players that are dominant on both the defensive as well as offensive side of the ball?\n\nI started to go with my favorite team's star, Tim Duncan, ala the Big Fundamental.  Certainly an argument can be made for Duncan based on some of his NBA league stats this season:\n#5 rebounds/game\n#12 blocks/game\n#4 double-doubles\n#14 in the NBA in Efficiency Ranking\n\nDuncan's scoring a down this season, 18.8 ppg (a career low), but this can be attributed to a well balanced Spurs team (with scorers Tony Parker, Manu Ginobilli, and Michael Finley on board).  But, while I give a lot of credit to Duncan, and probably would still select him as the one player I'd build a team around.  Though I'll have to go with someone else, currently, as the best player in the NBA.\n\nI'd go with Kevin Garnett as presently the most complete, best all-around player in the NBA.  Garnett ranks, in the NBA:\n#15 points per game\n#8 field goal percentage\n#16 free throws made\n#1 double-doubles\n#1 in the NBA in Efficiency Ranking\n\nGarnett's size mixed with his athletic and basketball ability makes him arguably one of the best players in basketball today.\n\nI see LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as players on the cusp of challenging for best player in the league.

Current NBA:\n\nPG: Chauncey Billups\n\nIt was a tought choice between him and Steve Nash as they are both having break-out seasons and they are both the center around which their teams function. But Chauncey edges it with his clutch play.\n\nSG: Kobe Bryant\n\nSay what you want about him: selfish, surly and overcompetetive, but he has been completely unstoppable all season long. He had almost single handedly carried the Lakers. Dwayne Wade may be talented but Kobe has taken it to a new level.\n\nSF: Lebron James \nHe is having an absolutely standout year leading the Cavaliers and filling up just about every statistical category. He deserves the recognition. Paul Pierce is having a standout year as well, but nothing compared to Lebron.\n\nPF: Dirk Nowitski \n\nI know he plays SF for Dallas but I think that this is more of his natural position. Dirk is impossible to defend - too quick for most power forwards, the big for most small forwards. He has been pure class for the Mavericks this year. Kevin Garnett is having a very solid season but his team is struggling. Tim Duncan has been hampered by his dodgy ankle. Elton Brand is probably the closest competition to Dirk.\n\nCenter: Yao Ming\n\nThe fact that Yao can win in this position goes to show the lack of quality centers in the league. Ben Wallace deserves a mention for his tremendous defensive abilities, but he is probably only the 3rd best player on the Piston team and he doesn't have enough offensive skills. Shaq hasn't been healthy enough this season, and is not as dominant as he once was. Yao however, has really improved this year, especially in the past two months. I thought of putting Duncan or Brand in this spot as they probably deserve it more, but it is undeniable that they aren't true centers, so it is Yao Ming almost by default.

I think KG could go to one of three places. The Bobcats, who are in dire need of a leader and a big man; the Cavs, who, with Lebron, would be an automatic contender and team to beat, and don't rule out the Spurs--who are in the market for a center/forward who can provide! KG's good friends with Tim, and the organization is top notch. If S.A ever DID get KG..??? Heaven help the other teams..! STARTING LINEUP: Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen. One word: CRAP. LoL!

think there are four names worthy of mention here: \n\ndr. j for inventing the art form.\n\ndominic wilkens for  bringing it into our living rooms virtually everynight, i.e. the human highlight, on sportscenter.\n\nmj.  period.  \n\nwould also give spud webb honorable mention for being able to dunk like that (makes the rest of us look pretty bad because if he can do it why can't we? :)

Steve Nash MVP two years in a row and the most unselfish player in the league \n\nDwanye Wade what can i say he's one of the most athletic players in the league\n\nLebron James the best athletic player in the league and the future of the NBA need proof look what he did this playoffs remember the wizards and he pushed the pistons to the brink in his first playoffs!!

well see, allen iverson, kevin garnett, and vince carter all have their own specialties and skill level. while allen iverson plays at the point guard level, garnett and carter play at the foward position. allen iverson can shoot, distribute, and handle the ball well. kevin garnett can post up very well and play down low,while vince carter can shoot and dunk well. vince carter seems to have the most highlights because of his many air skills, alot like michael jordan since he can shoot too. allen iverson is very phenomenal too because of his ankle breaking. kevin garnett is just huge and very talented. so i'd go with allen iverson as the better of the three.

Definitely Kevin Garnett - will be the top free agent in the market this offseason.  TD and EB will most likely stay put, so there is not too much buzz on them.  Another big name is Bonzi Wells.  In the first round of the playoffs, he was by far the best player on the Kings.  He will make some noise.
