Top 10 Favorite NBA Players

Honorable Mentions: Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Tony Allen, Mike Miller

10) Danny Green SA SG


My love for Danny Green pretty much began when 2K14 came out. I'm a big fan of shooters and this boy can shoot. He's a team player and has won a NCAA championship and a NBA title. He also has the record for the most 3's made in a Finals series.


9) J.J. Redick LAC SG


I have a soft spot for white Duke players, especially ones that have no actual basketball ability besides shooting. He's a terrible defender but tries sometimes. He's a great shooter and launches up shots whenever he feels like it.


8) Kyle Korver Atl SG


Another classic white shooter, my love for him began when he played for the Bulls. Another horrible defender, this pretty boy holds the NBA record for highest 3-point percentage in one season (53.6%). It's hilarious to watch him try to defend but I love myself some Kyle Korver.


7) Jimmy Butler Chi SG


What makes me love Butler so much is the way he defends. He isn't afraid to defend anyone and gives it his all every night. I love scrappy defenders and he also plays for my favorite team. I used to like him more but in my opinion he has lost some of his defending ability since he's become a scorer as well. I still love the guy and I'm glad he's a Bull.


6) Kemba Walker Cha PG


Walker is one of my favorite players to ever play in college and is as clutch as they come. He's fun to watch and is a pretty good defender. He also plays for one of my favorite teams so Kemba is an easy choice for this list.


5) Chandler Parsons Dal SF


He's white. He shoots. He's pretty. He went to Florida. I love Chandler Parsons. He was drafted in the second round by the Rockets and has really improved over his career. While injuries have haunted him in Dallas, he's one of my favorite players to watch.


4) Chris "Birdman" Andersen Mem C


Anyone with a nickname like Birdman that is covered in tattoos, combined with a love for drugs will end up on this list. He's a scrappy defender/rebounder who really has no offensive ability besides dunking the ball. I love myself a bad boy and Chris certainty fits that mold.


3) Matthew Dellavedova Cle PG


I'm not usually a fan of foreign players but this Aussie makes the list at the number 3 spot. He's that annoying player that everyone hates, even his own teammates. Dellavedova is concerned a dirty player but I love it. When you're an non-athletic, undersized white boy, you need to find a way to gain an edge. I hate that he plays for the Cavs but I will always root for him.


2) Bismack Biyombo Tor C


This 6'9 freak from the Congo is easily one of my favorite players. To be honest, he's not very good and can only dunk the ball and rebound. He is decently young though so he has time to grow. He's a freak athlete and has a huge wing span. He tries really hard so that's why I like him. Plus, his name is fun to say.


1) Kyle Lowry Tor PG


Anyone who knows me is well aware of my obsession of Kyle Lowry. He's a great defender, decent passer and an improved scorer. He's small for the NBA and has to fight for everything. He struggled in the beginning of his career but eventually made an All-Star game this season. I absolutely love Lowry and he will always be my favorite player.
