Who are your top five favorite active players? Rank them, don't rank them, I don't care.

[Mack North]

Bosh
LeBron
Josh Smith
Amare
D Wade/CP3

All based on entertainment factor for myself. There may be better players in the league but it is fav's so...

[Apollo]

I'm counting six.

[2mrw2day]

Dwight Howard
Chris Bosh
Joe Johnson
Lebron James
Carmelo Anthony

[cornbreadd]

DJ Mbenga (supreme overlord of awesome)

Serge Ibaka

Bargs

Rudy Fernandez

Nate Jawai (gotta get an Aussie in somewhere)

Shame that most of my favourite players are nailed to the bench, but you got to love an underdog

[Mack North]

If we're going with an old skool favourites list(I only go back to the early 90's) I'll go with:

Shawn Kemp- The Reign Man! Those tomahawk dunks, wow...

Tim Hardaway- My first favourite baller, on GSW, The UTEP-Two-Step

Shaquille O'Neal- Tearing Down Backboards?? Enough Said

Alonzo Mourning- From his Charlotte/Miami(1st time) days, after that he kinda pissed me off

Vince Carter- His first 4 seasons on the Raptors (I'm ashamed of this one...)

[JibbaJabba34]

Current:
Chris Bosh - Wouldn't have made my list last year, but love his new game this season
Dwight Howard - Most dominant big man and most athletic
LeBron James - Does it all, and does it with power and quickness
Dwayne Wade - Unbelievable scorer and athlete that takes over a game whenever he wants
Steve Nash - Over-achieves with the body he's been given. 35 yrs old and he's still schooling any young kid with 10 times the athleticism

All-Time:
Michael Jordan - Anytime in his career
Vince Carter - Pre Wince years (Hey, there was a time that everyone in Canada felt he was a God)
Dennis Rodman - During his Pistons years, pre crazy cross-dressing years
Shaq - Pre Miami when he just got too slow and lost much of his mobility
Magic Johnson - Pre Laker coach years

Most Respected but never liked:
Larry Bird - Hearing the stories and seeing his stats, the guy could outplay anyone
Kobe Bryant - Just could never really like the guy. Seems too much of a stats guy, not a team first guy. Awesome player.
Karl Malone - One of the best all-time power forwards, but I just thought he was a thug
Tim Duncan - Probably the best player of the 2000's, but just don't like watching him, boring
Carmelo Anthony - Just seems to have too much negative attitude and is a me-first guy
