The NBA is full of the best players in the world. This makes it tough for anyone to make it look easy. The people who are fun to watch are the people that can score at will, on the best defensive players. A lot of players can score, but the special players can pass, rebound, and make it easier for the whole team. Here are the exciting players that are the reason there is a national basketball association.
1. Lebron James
This young super-athlete has been the person you can expect to see when you turn on sport center and night. He has been acrobatically dunking from all spots on the floor and shooting amazing fad-away three pointers. Whether it be last minute miracles, or running up the score, this amazing athlete should be on your list to watch.
2. Chris Paul
In just his first three seasons, this fantastic player has become arguably the best point guard in the league. It's not just that he has revived a struggling New Orleans franchise, it's how he does it. He averaged 11.6 assists per game while still finding a way to score 27.1 a game. He was runner-up for the MVP award and took his team to the deep within the playoffs.
3. Dwayne Wade
The way Dwayne Wade plays in extremely entertaining. He dazzles audiences with his high flying dunks and shots that are impossible to defend. From the moment he became a player in the NBA, coaches have had to work hard to stop scoring at will or passing to wide open players. In his early years, he has already received a championship ring and finals MVP with the help of an ageing Shaquille O'Neil.
4. Kobe Bryant
Even at his old age Kobe Bryant can fly. It seems like he can score anytime that he wants to, way that he wants to. Whether by leaping in the air and banking it off the glass, or maybe by a fade away shot that looks impossible. He has had outstanding teams in the past and is great individually too with the MVP award last season.
Dwight is a freak of nature and the rare combination of tall, strong, and super athletic. A testament to his outstanding athleticism was last years Slam Dunk Competition. He is only getting better and he secures every rebound. He is always one of the leading dunkers in the league.
He has been in the league for long time and he has always been one of the best free throw shooters, three point shooters, and even defensive players as well. He is sure exiting to watch because he can do so many things and score. He can weave through the lane and finish with ether hand, or he can bounce off defenders and make a fade away jump shot. Everyone one the court benefits from having Allen Iverson on their team.
7. Steve Nash
As a valuable member of the Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash tears defenses apart, leaving speechless. He has been among the leaders in the assist category and highest percentage three point shooters. It is very fun to watch Steve pass to the wide open man in a way no one thought possible.
8. Gilbert Arenas
When this Washington Wizard is healthy, he is one of the best players in the whole NBA. Famous for his buzzer beater game winning last minute magic, you will find yourself screaming in amazement at what he just did. Whether it be driving to rim, or draining a three, this great player to watch.
