Silly thought, shouldn't you have matched up players of the same position? or is this just to pick who you think the single best player is? Cause I'd rather Kobe then AI, but needed another Gaurd besides Kidd.

Here are my picks based if I had my players for a 'franchise' team.

Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Jason Kidd
Shaq
Tim Duncan
Shawn Marion
Jermaine O'Neill
Kobe Bryant

Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Jason Kidd
Ben Wallace (man that's tough)
Tim Duncan
Shawn Marion
Wildcard* (B. Davis)
Allen Iverson

I don't get how any one can choose AI over Kobe :$.

Results from Round 1
Kevin Garnett 13 - 0 Vince Carter
Lebron James 12 - 1 Paul Pierce
Jason Kidd 10 - 3 Ron Artest
Shaq 10 - 3 Ben Wallace
Tim Duncan 12 - 1 Stephon Marbury

Kevin Garnett. Possibly the best all-around player in the league. Maybe LeBron will get there in a couple of years, but I don't think he's going to go down as an all-time great like KG.

Jason Kidd. In terms of "pure" point guards, there aren't many better than Kidd. Also, I like options in my offense, and if I had Shaq, I wouldn't. Kidd can create, so he gets my nod. Of course, I would have voted Ben Wallace ahead of Shaq, and I'd vote him ahead of Kidd, too, but that's not an option.

Tim Duncan. Shawn Marion's got a hell of an upside, but Duncan's a proven leader. Besides, you can't argue with the guy who has championship rings (realizes that contradicts previous decision, chooses to ignore it).

Jermaine O'Neal. Kobe might be the best player in the league, but there are too many question marks. I'd take Jermaine just so I don't have to wonder whether my guy's going to make it back from his court date in time for tip-off.

yeah, but either could play small fwd. and depending on the team around them, etc...

anyway, try voting for the right round :p

Garnett
