Exciting players are what makes the NBA-World go around. Today's players are faster, stronger, and more athletic than ever. Therefore, their penetration drives are faster, their dunks are stronger, and their moves are more athletic which results in a more exciting style of basketball. Couple that with the new defensive rules that encourage fast breaks and you have a recipe for exciting basketball.

The majority of the NBA players that the casual NBA fan (and possibly the diehard fans) finds entertaining is your superstar, your MVP, your human-highlight-reel. So, here is my All-NBA-All-Superstar-All-Exci ting Team:

PG- Steve Nash- Mr. MVP is the epitome of today's exciting point guard. As he leads the NBA's highest scoring offense, Nash carries the emotions of fans everywhere. His constant dribbling at full speed mixed with his no-look passes and nifty finger rolls makes this Two-time MVP something special to watch.

SG- Kobe Bryant- For several years now, Kobe Bryant has fans on the edge of their seat just waiting and watching for him to pull off a fancy dunk or bury a three while being doubled team. While his style of play is often criticized as being of the selfish variety, Bryant ignites energetic plays and provides the world with entertaining scoring plays.

SF- Lebron James- Bron Bron is another criticized player who can deliver instant classic moves. Still just 22 years old, James is quickly moving up people's list as one of the premier NBA entertainers. As the only NBA player to average 25 pts., 6 rebs, and 6 asts, James uses his all-around game to compliment his athletic ability to make remarkable plays.

PF- Kevin Garnett- Garnett, who is about the only exciting part of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is a tall man (6'11") who seems to do just about anything that is needed. His long, thin body floats through the air with power and finesse. A near 7 foot man who passes like Garnett is one exciting being to watch.

C- Shaquille O'Neal- Despite the fact that his 35 yr. old knees have carried 325 lbs. up and down a basketball court for 14 years now, O'Neal is still the NBA's most dominant center. Despite the fact that today's young centers are more agile and quicker, O'Neal can still throw down massive dunks with the best of them. Despite the fact that all of today's players seem to be equal in height, O'Neal can still rebound, block, and guard the paint with just about anyone.
