    Who are your favorite NBA players to watch today?

    With Dwayne Wade putting on a fantastic show in which he carried the Heat to victory with his offense, defense, and determination, he had me thinking about the list of players that I enjoy watching. Here are my list:

    1) KG
    2) Dwayne Wade
    3) Steve Nash
    4) Tracy McGrady (When he is on a scoring binge, he is mesmerizing
    5) Jason Kidd

    Let's see who are your five favorite basketball players

    I would love to see what Livingston does next year for sure. Clippers did the best they could with Jaric at PG and they had success, but if Livingston played, they could have gotten the last playoff spot. They definitely would have won double digit road games for sure.

    I pick Kidd over AI only because of what Kidd did the last three years. You have to hope that Kidd's knees does not make him a shell of himself.

    I think James vs. Wade has a making of Larry vs. Magic. I really hope Darko does well for the Pistons because if he does not pan out, Joe Dumars will definitely got lot of crap in his way for not going after Wade.

    Hindsight is 20/20.

    No one was questioning the Pistons taking Darko at the time of the draft. He was viewed as pretty as close to a sure thing as you can get out of an international player. Plus, some people viewed his ceiling about as high as LeBron's. Dumars would've gotten hell at the time of the draft is he picked Wade over Darko.

    I agree, MsFan87. I never knew Wade was going to be this good. I know he was a good role player to build around, but wow. He certailny suprised me for sure.

    I hope Darko does well. I am curious to see what he can do. I was joking to a friend of mine the other day about who will have more value for his team. Ebi or Darko.

    I'd love to see Darko get some notable time in some NBA Games instead of Brown staping his ass to the bench.

    By the stats, he's obviously looked bad with a horrible shooting percentage and a lot of TOs for a guy under the hoop, but I wonder, if he got a consistat 15-20 minutes a game (and with the Pistons depth, I can see why he didn't get it in his rookie year and limited this year), how he would perform.

    I agree, Steak. Wade was not thought to have a high ceiling at the level of Carmelo and Darko. He was thought to be like the Heat's previous 1st rounder, Caron Butler, an immediate contributing scorer that would be a steal at around the 10th pick. There was also the issue that Wade was a tweener.

    Hard to name only a few.

    AI, Dwayne Wade, Lebron, Earl Boykins, Nash, Duncan, Ben Gordon... many more I didn't think of yet.

    Pretty much the whole Spurs team. I am not a Spurs fan but I love to watch them play. Total class from every player which is about impossible to find in the NBA.
