I think with the NBA, stats really vary from year to year especially these advanced stats.  The value of the team plays an important role too.

i was going to post this up at the beginning of the season, the list looked different then though. but i thought it was misleading. this obviously isnt a list of who the top players are, but a list of who has to do the most for their team. a superstar with an outstanding group around him, wouldnt get a high rating. but a superstar, with a weak supporting cast would be putting up incredible numbers all around.

[Javier]

Last year Shaq, Amare, Duncan, Wade, Lebron, Kobe, Ginobli were all there.

^mad cuz Duncan's not on there.

[7even]

Duncan isnt even that good.. been saying that for years.. as for Garnett, he fell off. Not cause he aint got skill no more, but cause he's unmotivated and frustrated with his crap team and the fact that he will never get a ring as a leader.
LeBron and Iverson are off the hook, eat a dick if ya disagree.

[Javier]

Through those Hollinger type stats, Duncan has been in the top 3 for the past few years except for this year. 

[eS El Duque]

^^^yup


Duncun and ESPECIALLY Garnett has fell off this year. The big german was on the list for a while. Lebron was on the list year aswell

[akaDRooPY]

LMAO at anyone that says Duncan isnt really that good, thats the funniest thing ive heard in a minute

oh yeah Duncans stats tonight, 27 points (12-16) (made all 4th quarter shots), 10 Rebs, 8 Assists, dude sucks...dont know why he hasnt been traded yet
