STACEY
DALES-SCHUMAN
WASHINGTON MYSTICS
Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
Jermaine O'Neal, Indiana Pacers
He's humble, skilled, and dominant.
He's confident and he makes everyone else
around him better.
Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
Tayshaun Prince, Detroit Pistons
The combination of his power and finesse
are exciting to watch.
The consumate team player that does it on
both ends of the court.
Manu
Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
Jason
Kidd, New Jersey Nets
Can do everything on the court equally well
and you can sense an incredible passion from him that is
missing in many players today.
He is a magician with a basketball.
Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
Steve Francis, Orlando Magic
The guy goes from Dallas to Phoenix and
suddenly Phoenix is the best team in the West.. .need I
say more?
He's unbelievably talented and always entertaining
to watch.
Yao
Ming, Houston Rockets
Shaquille
O'Neal, Miami Heat
The footwork and grace with which he moves
is remarkable considering his size.
That's a no-brainer... the man is a machine
who, amazingly enough, gets better every single season.
DIANA
TAURASI
PHOENIX MERCURY
Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
Drew Gooden, Cleveland Cavaliers
He dominates on both ends of the court
and leads the most complete team in the NBA.
Why not? Having an amazing year on a young
exciting team. He is also averaging a career high in rebounds.
Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves
Antawn Jamison, Washington Wizards
The most complete player in the league.
Pass, score, defend. Simply a basket ball prototype.
Averaging 20 and 10, sure, why not?
Amare
Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
How can you leave BLACK JESUS off the starting
squad. Making the suns the most exciting team in the league.
Toughest dunker in the league... LOOK OUT BELOW!.
Dirk
Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Dirk has taken his game to new heights
emerging into a bona fide leader and superstar. Unstoppable
on off.
Ray
Allen, Seattle Sonics
Lebron
James, Cleveland Cavaliers
Another brilliant year for the former Husky
in taking to his team to a being a contender in the always-
tough West. Such a pure shooter, where were you in athens,
Ray?
Putting up MVP numbers every night. The
most talented player in the league. Sky's the limit!
Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Allen Iverson, Philadelphia Sixers
Best perimeter player in the world, leaves
it all on the floor. Many questioned his leadership qualities,
but no matter what Kobe does, it won't be enough. Most celebrated
most hated.
He is averaging 25 pts. and a most impressive
7 assists per game, the most in his career since his rookie
showing..
Shaquille
O'Neal, Miami Heat
Duh!!!!!!.
SUE
BIRD
SEATTLE STORM
Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Jermaine O'Neal, Indiana Pacers
He's German.
He has been playing great since re-joining
the team.
Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves
Grant Hill, Orlando Magic
MVP, need I say more? Hey Kevin, I think
you and Lauren Jackson would make a great front court. Would
do you think?
This is the best story
in the NBA right now. He deserves the nod.
Ray
Allen, Seattle Sonics
Lebron
James, Cleveland Cavaliers
He represents UCONN and is taking this Sonics
team to places nobody believed possible (except me, check
predictions). Not to mention he's one of the nicest guys
in the NBA.
He should make the All-Star team strictly
because he'll have some sweet Nike's made for him and I'd
like to see them. Not to mention he's about to be one of
the 5 players in history to average over 20 pts, 6 reb,
and 5 assists and he's only 19.
Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat
He's the epitome of a playmaking point guard
and is taking a team from worst to first a la The Detroit
Shock.
This is by far one of the quickest players
I've ever seen. His team is in first and he's killing people.
Yao
Ming, Houston Rockets
Shaquille
O'Neal, Miami Heat
Process of Elimination.
CAN YOU DIG ITTTTTTT? He's Shaq-Diesel...come
on now!
