Its funny, people are either in the Kobe guys or they are Lebron guys, and if you love one you usually hate the other. crazyness. Pretty soon people might be saying Lebron or Durant………maybe?

Clint you obviously didnt read the entire article. My top 5 is Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Durant and then Deron WIlliams. Kobe has hit 6 game winners in the last 10 seconds of the game not 8. I’m a diehard lakers fan and I am a Preacher for the Church of Kobe so you don’t have to tell me Kobe is better than Lebron, I already know. I’m on record as saying that I don’t think Lebron will ever win a championship

Until LeBron gets a ring please don’t bother saying he’s better then Kobe. Kobe has now 8 game winning shots this season .Oh, and 4 rings. Deron is for sure in the top 7 or 8 players in the NBA. Not sure about top 5 yet though. And don’t leave Kevin Durant out of this list…

BOb you are right in alot of what you said in your comment. D WIll owns CP3 in head to head matchups and has won more playoff series than Paul. The shoe deal is just an example of an endorsements, but when you play in a bigger market those things like a shoe deal, or a Furniture Warehouse endorsment lol are more readily available to all star players. YOu mentioned Stockton and Malone, look how long it took for them to get recognized. Williams got his first all star bid this year, that wouldn’t have happened if he played in a bigger market that gets more nationally televised games. DId you know Golden State has more nationally televised games this year than Utah? More tv time, more national recognition. Ur right, Utah treats their players well, if they work hard they get rewarded. But the fact remains that superstars don’t like playing in Utah, that they rather be in a bigger market when givin the choice, and super stars have that choice. D Will is now a super star and soon he will be given that choice, unless Utah continues to be competitive and gets better his future in Utah will be in doubt. he said it himself, he signed a 3 year deal instead of 5 so he can bounce if hes not happy with the current situation

Deron Williams is probably the best Point Guard in the NBA this year. He outplays CP3 every time they match-up and his health is the only reason the Utah Jazz picked him over Chris Paul on draft day. Deron is in the best market in the league for his growth and developement. Utah is known for it’s loyalty and sticks with those who work and progress. The player that doesn’t work and put-out is gone. That is the reality. As for the shoe deals, they take care of themselves. There are too many bad examples of shoe deals and big buck deals gone bad for the player and the promoter. Look at Kobe, Tiger — these deals backfire and it hurts business, that’ reality.
As long as the Utah Fans back their player, that player does very well. In another market they get a flash at best, but in the Utah market he fits, is successful and the international attention comes with recognition. It’s easy to draw attention to Stockton & Malone, they were overlooked for a time but now they are for all-time while some of the deal takers are not even mentioned. The Utah Jazz were smart in picking Deron Willaims and the growth of that market is very strong. It continues to grow and the seats are sold every night. It’s profitable for the NBA and for the players to be in Utah, The players aren’t readily moved, easy to raise a family and the franchise is hands-on and appreciates whats going on. Ronnie Brewers moved helped the cap space, but it really helped the rest of the team including Deron. Now Korver, MIles, Mathews, A-K and th rest of the bench will contribute more because they are good, can preform and Ronnie will do well wherever he goes because he developed and worked to be they player he is today. It seems after the dust clears, Carlos and Deron have done very well in Utah.

Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Howard- top 4. I’d probably take Bosh next then take a long look at Dirk or Carmelo. Deron is in the mix starting at 5 though.

I think calling him a top-5 player in the league is a little much, but there’s no doubt he’s in the conversation for top PG in the NBA. I’d have to say CP3 is 1-A and Williams is 1-B at the point guard position right now. Either way, Williams is incredibly underrated and would be much more appreciated if he played for a large-market team.
PS-That dunk over D-Rose was great the other day.

Hell Yes! It’s about time Deron got the love he has deserved for several years now. The guy is a complete package player and I hope he retires in Utah.
