when I was young I grew up in Italy, and now I live in New Jersey, so basically I should either be a soccer fan or a baseball fan, but truthfully I really enjoy basketball. With that said, who do you guys think is the best baksetball player in the NBA right now and why. I think its between Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker.

lol, is this a joke? D-Wade, James, Dirk, Nash, Kobe, etc. are all better by a long shot.

Also, Bargnani isnt even the best on his team, that would be Chris Bosh.

I don't follow the game that closely, but as far as individual talent, I think Kobe Bryant is unsurpassed. I think though that Nash has the biggest positive impact on his team than anyone in pro sports. So by that definition, he might be the best. Then again, I'm only a casual fan.

You gafones have got to be joking. Bargnani is bar none the best basketballer in North America and Anthony Parker is not far behind. Wade, James, and Bryant are all beat by Parker whenever he pleases.

Thanks man, I REALLY needed that. I just got off of work and it's great to just sit down and have a great laugh. Are YOU kidding me? Anthony Parker has a career scoring average of 6.8 PPG while Andrea Bargnani has a career scoring average of 10.1 PPG. Please don't let the fact that Bargnani is from your home country cloud your judgment (he averages 23 minutes a game).

These 2 bums aren't even in the same LEAGUE as Kobe, Dirk, Nash, D-Wade, Melo, James. Kobe has a career average of 24.1 PPG, Dirk = 22.2, Nash = 13.9, D-Wade = 23.9, Melo = 23.8 and James = 26.5. So going back to your original question, IMO, Steve Nash, LeBron James or Dwayne Wade is the best player in the NBA right now.

Dont waste your time Irish, the guy's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic.

Well put pizzaboy

Muhammad Ali would beat Rocky Marciano.

Are you implying that Ali would beat Marciano just because he was a cavone?


Don Cardi

Kobe Bryant is the best BASKETBALL player but Nash is more valuable to whatever team he would be on right now

and the undeafeted champ would beat ali

I'd take Kobe, but D Wade is really close and how can you not want Lebron taking it to the hole every time? I mean, once the playoffs start and this baby hits 88mph we're going to see some serious sh*t from Bron Bron.

Ali is MUCH bigger than Marciano and was amazingly quick and powerful. I think Ali would defeat the undefeated champ sometime in the early first round.

Michael air Jordan!!!have you forgotten the greatest

If you look at his original post, he clearly stated he was wondering who the best was in the NBA NOW

Dwayne Wade

Kobe Bryant
