I may or may not have a job where I go to a lot of NBA games at MSG. Heres a list of the players that I think are the most fun to watch live.

1. LBJ
2. KD
3. Russel Westbrook
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Chris Paul (when healthy)
6. D Rose ( when healthy )
7. D Wade (when healthy )
8. Tony Parker
9. John Wall
10. Blake Griffin

Who do you think is most exciting?
 
Bron is exciting to watch because he is the most famous player. highest profile. but his game really isn't all that exciting IMO. as far as pure entertainment goes, i would say prime kobe is #1 from that list. he had such a variety of moves. i would also put healthy d rose above Bron. Bron's game just isn't aesthetically pleasing to me.

and blake griffin can't be #10. dude has at least 1 or 2 espn top 10 moments in almost every game he plays. and he has transformed into a legit player, so it's not always about dunks. he has some sick handles and passing ability. no doubt legit top 5 player right now.

Lebron does more "holy ****" things every game than any player in the league. Its not even close. KD is fun because he hits such difficult shots. Westbrook is exciting for obvious reasons. Kobe in his prime was so fun to watch, he was soooooooooooooo skilled. I love watching CP3 toy with people all game and constantly set people up, its crazy.
 
as far as in game dunks go - i gotta go with blake. IMO, he is clearly the best in game dunker since Vince. bron's dunks are kinda boring to me.

i played point, so i'm more attracted to point guard play. so healthy mvp d rose, was by far my favorite in my recent memory. i don't even like bulls, but i loved watching d rose. gave me goosebumps with power, agility, body control, and explosive 1st step.
 
To me it is Stephen Curry. Dude is not crazy athletic, quite small and yet does so many amazing things on the floor. I would pay to watch him play.

I don't think anyone would come close to Derrick Rose if he could stay healthy. He was on another level. Maybe Westbrook. But only with consistency.
 
I love watching Lebron. The guy just goes 100 mph (well, except the last time he was in town). Curry is also amazing to watch when he heats up.

Guys I hate watching: Durant and Wade. Watching them flop around to draw fouls and shoot 20 free throws is pretty brutal. Westbrook because of his need to pose after every play. Kobe, because the Lakers' ******* fans in the arena make it unbearable. Ginobili, because he's Ginobili.

The foul thing is annoying, but I don't go to the games where they play the Jazz so I have no rooting interest. I'm sure that makes it easier to stomach. Seeing Westbrook try to tear the rim off up close is a sight to behold.
 
Ya, Westbrook might be my favorite to watch. He's pretty much the most athletic dude I've ever seen.

I like watching Tony Parker as well.
 
total homer move here but love watching "The Manimal" play, plays his heart out every single night and he's all over the place, never know what exciting play he will do, espcially for an undersized, not skilled but uber athletic 4

definitely love that kid. one of those relentless motor that never stops. if we draft aaron gordon, he could be that guy who never stops trying.
 
damn, i miss d rose. this dude was exciting to watch. and he doesn't flop like bron.

i'm sure everybody flops a little, but bron does it little too much.

top 5 floppers in NBA

in no order

griffin
manu
harden
cp3
bron


blatant acting is just too much for me to handle.

my flopping list?


bron's been flopping in the biggest stage for a while now. dude is equal opportunity flopper too. from hibbert to lil nate, he doesn't even discriminate.

one of the reason why i'll never put bron above MJ.
