Re: NBA top 40- Bill Simmons style
flywf,
good response. here are some justifications or agreements...
1. Wade is better at age than Kobe Bryant IMO. He is still improving, and I love everything he brings to the table. Wade can put a team on his shoulders. Howard can't.
2. Agree that Nash may be too high. I certainly wouldn't trade Al Jefferson for him.
3. Jermaine O'Neal is still a 20/10 guy with range on his jumper. He also plays pretty good defense, which guys like Jefferson and Aldridge still currently lack.
4. Okur is a definite omission. Drew Gooden...not even in my top 60.
5. Agreed about Zach Randolph on talent,but Im not a Randolph fan, and 2+2 resident Blazer fans question whether they want him as part of the future.
6. Bogut I like, but I don't think he's as good as David Lee, who I could barely justify putting on the list.
What killed me was not being able to put on Leandro Barbosa and Mike Miller.
