  1. Michael Redd

    Antawn Jamison

    Joe Johnson

    Brandon Roy

    Andre Miller

    all great players who deserve alot more love and recognition


  2. PG- Chris Paul or Deron Williams

    SG- Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade or Tracy McGrady

    SF- LeBron James or Paul Pierce

    PF- Kevin Garnett

    C- Amare Stoudemire or Dwight Howard

  3. It's hard to tell who the toughest, or the most hardworking guys in the NBA are. But, I like to vote my guy Kobe Bryant. Have you heard his 666 workout during the off-season? True or not, that is sick! I bet he does do it though. Kobe is simply the best!  

  4. garnett

  5. lebron

    Kobe

    Dwade

    Behind the scenes the best players are the most hard working

  6. Kobe (Always hustling)

    Garnett (Self Motivator)

    Labron ( Fast first step)

  7. battier. i aggree what you said about him being underated defensively and always taking chages, but he has to be really tough to ignore all the criticism he gets because he played for duke. when i was at the usa basketball scrimage (when they got together in los vegas and had a scrimmage), they annouced his name, and almost the whole building booed. he has to deal with that a lot and i respect him for not making a big deal out of it and ignoring it.

  8. Shane Battier - Most people are reluctant to defend. But as Jordan said, to be a complete player, you have to play defense too, and that's not something everyone wants doing. If you want to see this, search Michael Jordan fundamentals on defense or at least those keywords on YouTube.

    Bruce Bowen - like Shane Battier, he works hard putting up a body on his man but what differentiates him from Shane is that some times Bowen gets a little frustrated and uses some elbows or knees, literally.

    Kevin Garnett - Basketball is his life.

    Dirk Nowitzki - every summer, he goes to Germany to work with his German coach and to say Nowitzki is soft is unacceptable now. First, he's a guy who doesn't get injured as much. Also, he will have determination and passion next season, the kind of passion KG has.

    Dwight Howard - Did you say tough? This guy fights for rebounds and protects the paint well. Being a post player, it's not just talent, it's also hardwork.

    LeBron James - He does everything for the Cavs. Similar to a Kevin Garnett in a Timberwolves team.

    Luis Scola - In the Rockets 22-game winning streak, how many games did Yao play? After he got injured, who had to do more of the scoring in the post? When both Yao and McGrady are playing, who is quietly setting up screens and hustling for the ball?

    Chuck Hayes - Another quality Rocket role player. He's undersized for a PF but works just as hard.

    Earl Boykins - When he was still in Denver, their trainer said that Earl can lift 300 pounds of bench press, the best anyone can do in the team. Carmelo punches really strong. Can't he lift 300? How about the biggies, Camby, Kenyon, and Nene?

    James Posey - His hustle was a huge part of the Celtics' 2008 championship.

    Eddie House - see James Posey

    Tayshaun Prince - underrated

  9. Shawn Marion

    Ben Wallace

    Kevin Garnett

    LeBron James

    Marcus Camby

  10. Lately it was Earl Boykins - he made the NBA being not so young and not so tall (he-he, 5'5"). He bench-presses 315 pounds - that's amazing for a small guy. He's also the shortest guy to score 30+ points

  11. Shane Battier

  12. Garnett

    Kobe

    Lebron

    Shane

    Shawn

    so basiclly i agree with all your guys

  13. Kevin Garnett

    When your best player is as much of a workhorse as him in training, there is absolutely no excuse for you to slack off.

    Shane Battier

    Works hard at his game, you can see the improvement over the years. Also puts his body on the line to do all the little things that don't show up on the stat sheet like taking charges or altering shots.

    Ben Gordon

    He practically lives in the Berto Centre. Always seen working on his game. Now if he can do that for other aspects of his game besides his jumpshot, he'd be one of the best players in the East.

  14. 5 best for me are:

    Point Guard: Tony Parker

    Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant

    Small Forward: Tayshaun Prince

    Power Forward: Kevin Garnet

    Center: Dwight Howard

  15. If you mean all-time,I know who is the most hardworking,Pistol "Pete" Maravich.That guy worked hard,too bad the NBA didn't have a 3 point line back then,or he'd averaged 50 per game.

    Now?Umm..
