Allen Iverson
Allen Ezail Iverson (born June 7, 1975, in Hampton, Virginia[1]), nicknamed A.I. and The Answer, is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association. He is an All-Star point/shooting guard. He is considered to be among the greatest guards of his generation and one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the game

Iverson is a prolific scorer who has averaged 28.0 points per game in his career, trailing all-time leader Michael Jordan in this category by only 2.1 points per game. Iverson's trademark crossover dribble is regarded as one of the most effective moves in the game, making him difficult for a defender to contain in one-on-one play. Iverson is also known for his ability to draw fouls, at times seeming to get the free-throw line almost at will. He is regularly one of the NBA's leaders in free throws attempted.[5]

On defense, Iverson is also an adept ball-thief and is known for playing the passing lanes. He again regularly ranks among the league leaders in steals.

Critics point out that Iverson's career shooting percentage (.421) is unremarkable. They also frequently accuse Iverson of being a ball hog: as of April 2006, he has taken ~15,800 shots in just under 700 games, averaging over 23 per game.

Despite these criticisms, Iverson is as of 2006 still generally regarded as one of the best guards in the game, as evidenced by Iverson's being named the starting point guard for the Eastern Conference in the NBA All-Star Game for the past seven consecutive seasons. He was voted to the All-NBA third team in the 2005-2006 season.

Iverson's ability to effectively employ such a versatile combination of scoring methods — driving to the basket, drawing fouls, shooting from outside, and creating his own shot off of the dribble — all at only six feet tall, has made him one of the most unique players in NBA history.

Manu Ginobli
Emanuel David Ginobili (Spanish: Ginóbili) (born July 28, 1977 in Bahía Blanca, Argentina), better known as Manu Ginobili, is an Argentine basketball player. He is a member of the Argentine national basketball team and the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. He is generally regarded as one of the best basketball players ever to come from Latin America.

Ginobili is a 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), 205 lb (93 kg) shooting guard. His NBA career averages are 13.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He is a relative latebloomer, entering the NBA at age 25 in a period where entering the NBA as a teenager was very popular.

Initially starting as a sixth man, Ginobili soon established himself as a starter. He is known for his up-tempo style of play, behind-the-back moves when attacking the basket and for his dunking skills. Ginobili is also known for his clutch play, documented by his numerous European league MVP awards, becoming 2004 Olympic tournament MVP, and proven by his strong play in the Spurs' 2004-05 championship-winning campaign, where he narrowly lost the Finals MVP vote to team mate Tim Duncan by 4-6 votes.

Ginobili's modus ope***** is the source of much consternation for opponents (for example, lowering his head while driving toward the basket, and willingness to draw charges on defense), among the most vocal of whom have been coach George Karl of the Denver Nuggets. These critics frequently accuse Ginobili of "flopping," or exaggerating the amount of contact that occurs when he is playing defense.

Ginobili also deserves mention for being one of the few players who are successful under both the physical, one-on-one play of the NBA and the more technical, jumpshooting rule set of the FIBA. He is the only player in basketball history to win the Euroleague, an Olympic gold medal, and an NBA Championship ring. He is also the only non-American player ever to win both the NBA Championship ring and the Olympic gold medal, and the only second Latin American to be selected to play in an NBA All-star game (after Panama's Ro***** Blackman).

Tony Parker
William Anthony (Tony) Parker, II (born May 17, 1982, in Bruges, Belgium) is a French National Basketball Association (NBA) player with the San Antonio Spurs and captain of France's national basketball team. Parker gained fame as one of the best French players in the NBA, playing at point guard. Parker, although born in Belgium, was raised in France, and is a French citizen. His father, Tony Parker Sr., is an African-American former professional basketball player and his mother, Pamela Firestone, a Dutch model. He has two younger brothers, T.J. and Pierre, who both play basketball.

Parker plays the point guard position and has established himself as a potent scorer (career average 15.0 points). He is one of the quickest players in the NBA and often slashes to the basket for an easy layup or teardrop shot. Despite his relatively small stature for a basketball player (6'2"), he was leading the league in "points in the paint" for a large portion of the 2005-2006 NBA season. His shooting has improved dramatically since his rookie year, although outside shooting (especially three-pointers) still remains as the weaker part of his game. His field goal percentage of 54% (as of the 2005-2006 season) is very high for a point guard and is among the league leaders in that category. His speed also makes him a great fast break player.

His defense is above-average, although bigger and stronger players at his position often try to take advantage of his size. When he won his first ring in 2003, Parker contained Jason Kidd, considered one of the best point guards in the game. Parker is also a playoff veteran, having played 67 playoff games already, more playoff matches before his 24th birthday than anyone else [1].

Critics point out that his assist rate (5.4 assists per game career average) is mediocre, especially combined with an undesirably high 2.52 turnover-per-game ratio. In addition, his lifetime free throw average hovers around .700, which is considered below average for a guard.

On February 9, 2006, for the first time in his career, Parker was selected to play in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game in Houston, Texas as a reserve guard for the Western Conference.

Steve Nash
Steven John Nash, OBC (born February 7, 1974 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Canadian professional basketball player. He currently plays for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association as well as the Canadian National Team in international competition. He is the reigning back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player.

Nash is the reigning winner of back-to-back MVP titles and seen as one of the premier point guards in the NBA. He led the league in assists in the last two consecutive seasons, averaging 11.5 assists per game in 2004-05 and 10.5 in the 2005-06 season. [7] [8] He is an astute ball handler, as evidenced by his victory in the 2005 NBA All-Star Skills Contest. During the 2005 season, Nash's assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.98 was 11th best in the league among guards, [9] He is a high percentage three-point shooter (42.1% lifetime average) and is an outstanding free throw shooter: his lifetime average of 89.6% is third in NBA history. [10] [11] Nash is also very effective playing the pick and roll as demonstrated with former Dallas teammate Dirk Nowitzki and later with the Suns' Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion. [12]

As a team mate, Nash is known for his leadership qualities. This is best shown by his current stint with the Suns, where his addition turned the Suns from a 29-53 record in 2003-04 into a 62-20 record in 2004-05, reaching the Conference Finals for the first time in 11 years and earning Nash his first MVP award. In the next season, Nash led a decimated Suns team into the Conference Finals, despite the injuries of all three big men Amare Stoudemire, Kurt Thomas and Brian Grant. For this feat, Nash was awarded his second MVP award.

On May 11, 2006, ESPN.com rated Nash as the 9th greatest point guard of all time. [13]Nash is the best player to wear a Phoenix uniform ever.

Dwane Wade
Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Jr. (born January 17, 1982) is an American All-star basketball player, in the National Basketball Association. He is nicknamed "Flash" and "D-Wade". Wade was named 2006 Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Despite the unorthodox spelling, Wade's first name is pronounced as Dwayne; often in print media, it is misspelled as such.

Wade plays the two guard (shooting guard) position. On offense, Wade has established himself as one of the quickest and most difficult to guard players in the NBA, scoring 27.2 points in the 2005-06 regular season on .495 field goal accuracy and seemingly getting to the line at will, ranking #1 in free-throw attempts per 48 minutes. Wade also has an eye for passing, as his 6.1 average career assists attest. After winning the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in 2006, he is now also widely recognized as a premier clutch player. The main weakness cited in Wade's game is his shooting range. Wade shot 17.1% from the 3-point line during the regular season. Still Wade's clutch performance and leadership overshadow his three point shooting, and thus there have been overtone comparisons with him and Michael Jordan much to Wade's protest.[2] Dwyane Wade is known for his ability to hit lay-ups even after hard mid-air collisions with defenders. As exciting as his high-flying style of basketball may be, some have expressed concerns over the dangers of playing in this manner, as Wade has already hurt his knees and wrists after mid-air collisions with larger players. At the age of 24, it is yet to be seen whether or not Wade's body will be able to handle this bold style of playing during his career.He was on the 2006 U.S team in the FIBA championships and came out with a bronze medal.
