Lebron
Kobe
Dirk
Durant
Wade

LeBron (Unfortunately)
Kobe (Kobe was 1st but obviously the years are adding up now)
Durant (Durant will move to 2nd next season or so with Kobe aging)
Howard
Wade or Carmelo

Blake Griffin could move to top 5 in next 1-2 years

Duarant, Dwight Howard & Dirk . My next two don't qualify for the thread, Love & my new fave, Blake Griffin. Guess I'm listing my top great faves, not best players.

Who do I dislike the most: Garnett

If I have a starting 5.... it would be as follows

Kobe
Lebron (Melo better offensively but Lebron better defensively. And to win championships I want everyone playing defense.. however, if I had to pick just one, I pick Melo, because scorers are harder to find than defenders)
Rose
Howard
Dirk

That's my starting 5 is I have a team....

LeBron
Kobe
Durant
Howard
Rose (narrowly over Chris Paul)

Kobe
Durant
Lebo (1st 3 are no brainers)
than i would go howard because he is the best big man in the game
As much as i love me some drose I think D williams is the best point in the game so he would be my 5th

This with DHoward over Dirk....I'd take dWill over Dirk too....That being said, Dirk is probably MVP as of right now. Look at that Dallas team, its so mediocre.

I think if I was building a team I might put Rondo /w Lebron, Dwight, Kobe, and Dirk - I do like Rose and Williams a lot too though.

if you based it off win shares, which is the pure number of wins one player creates by yourself, it would be this:

Chris Paul
LeBron James
Pau Gasol
Dwight Howard
Kevin Love

For the record, if faced with the decision, I seriously think I would consider taking a young Dirk Nowitzki over Carmelo and Durant
