Hmmm...tough question. Let's see

Deron Williams - quiet confidence (CPaul is too ***** for my taste)
Shawn Marion - he can fly - 'nuf said
Kevin Garnett - love his intensity
Dwight Howard - he's just a big kid (at heart)
Gil Arenas - how can you not love Capt 00!

 

[mojorizen7]

Ok then...

Chris Paul
Chauncey Billups
Kevin Garnett
Ron Ron
Hedo Turkoglu

Well I grew up a Magic Johnson fan, and played PG my entire life. So I have a little affinity for the position.

I was going to post my response when I got to the end of the thread, but you sorta beat me to the idea.

PF Maurice Lucas
SF Dr. J.
C Willis Reed or Bill Russell
SG Walt Frazier
PG Magic Johnson or Oscar Robertson

With all their other skills -- perfect for their positions -- I loved to watch Luke and the Doctor make those bank shots.

Reed limping out on the court and making his first two shots to lead his team to one of two Championships. Bill Russell, with his leadership and defense, leading his team to multi Championships.

Clyde, drawing fouls by faking his opponents into the air from outside. Today, he'd be the King of the Four-point play.

The Big-O, then Ervin, each revolutionizing the Point Guard position. Oscar averaging a triple-double for a season. Magic turning his awkward shot-put into a 3-point thing of beauty. Playing the Point while outweighing all but one of our Phoenix Suns on the court.

I thought this thread was current fav five.

 

[hawaiiansun]

Quentin richardson
Darius Miles
Sebastian telfair
Joe Johnson

 

[PetryJr]

Deron Williams
Baron Davis
Joe Johnson
Brandon Roy
Kevin Martin

 

[S_Nash]

In no particular order...

Baron Davis
Gerald Wallace
Josh Smith
Carmelo Anthony
Paul Pierce

This is based soley on entertainment value.

If it were my top 5 for MVP, the list would read:

Kobe
'Bron
Chris Paul
Tim "Bug-Eyez" Duncan
Caron Butler (smokey for M.I.P)

 

[French Fries]

PF Maurice Lucas
SF Dr. J.
C Willis Reed or Bill Russell
SG Walt Frazier
PG Magic Johnson or Oscar Robertson

ah, classics, cool...

pg - magic
sg - mj
sf - bird
pf - barkley
c - shaq

regardless of position though, my fave five is: kareem, hakeem, the admiral, wilt, and shaq

 

[TheHopToad]

I'll stick for the most part with what I said last year:

Dirk
Dwight Howard
Rip Hamilton
KG
Ray Allen

Honorable Mention: Tim Duncan, Brent Barry, Eddie House, Vince Carter, Jason Terry, Elton Brand, T-Mac

The only changes I'd make for this year is that I would replace Dirk with Shawn Marion and I would probably swap KG for T-Mac. And now that he's back in the league, I gotta add Casey Jacobsen to the honorable mention list, he was always a favorite of mine with the Suns.

 

[arwillan]

Lebron
Camby
Arenas
Rasheed Wallace
Josh Smith

honorable mention:

joe johnson
Baron Davis
Jason Kidd
Caron Butler
Brandon Roy

 

[jagu]

Chris Paul
Kobe (the man is as close to Jordan as you can get)
AI (the guy is small but he is so so good)
Lebron (one notch below AI because I love how AI plays the game)
KG

 

[Kody Rumin]

Shawn Marion
Chris Paul
Richard Hamilton
Dwight Howard
Kevin Martin

There are a lot of players in the game that I really like though. I respect the hell out of Garnett, Iverson, Dikembe Mutumbo, Wade, Chris Bosh, and a lot of other non-Suns players.

 

[RingtheBell]

Deron Williams
Baron Davis
Lebron James
Dwight Howard
Tracy McGrady

 

[nash2crosby]

nash
stoudemire
shaq
hill
bell
sorry, refuse to flatter the enemy

 

[Bufalay]

last time I had:

Marbury

Quentin Richardson

Cliff Robinson

Voskuhl

Bo Outlaw

I guess Bo, Marbury and Cliff don't play anymore

So I would have to add James Jones, Dirty Kurt and Steven Hunter.

 

[Bufalay]

Bruce Bowen is the guy that I would most like to play in a pick up game. Mostly because in a pick up game someone would kick his ass. And also because he sucks at basketball and I could kill him.

 

[Milgod]

Marion (still a Sun to me)
KG
Iverson
LB
Howard
Kobe

 

[Darth Llama]

Baron Davis
Kevin Garnett
Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Dwight Howard

Just the first few Non Lakers that come to mind.

Honorable Mention: Steve Nash, Carlos Boozer, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Elton Brand.

 

[Bufalay]

Bruce Bowen
Danny Fortson

It kind of pisses me off that 3 of those guys played for the Suns.
