In about 6 six weeks, NBA training camps will begin. Nothing much is happening in the NBA right now so I thought of reposting and updating a list/note that I made in Facebook about year ago. Ive watched a lot of basketball here's my opinions on certain basketball categories in the NBA. Ive listed 5 players who I currently think are among the best in that category that I thought of. The player orderings do not necessarily translate to rankings. I have given more consideration to things that have happened recently (2012 season). Also, I neglected to add rookies and I ignored injuries (Ex: Howard, Rose). I invite you to share your comments and ideas!
