Who would rank as the top 10 "2 Way" players in the NBA?

Question

When I say "2 Way", meaning who is dominant on both offense and defense.

Rank them 1 to 10.

Answer 1

1. Kobe Bryant

2. Kevin Garnett

3. Dwight Howard

4. Tim Duncan

5. Dwyane Wade

6. Ron Artest

7. Shawn Marion

8. Chris Paul

9. LeBron James

10. Deron Williams

Answer 2

10) Dwayne Wade - We all know he can score and he's always in the top 5 or 10 in steals averaging over 2 a game.

9) Josh Smith - He's not the offensive force he can be yet, averaging only 17.5 points per game, but dude is a terror on defense. Very few players have averaged 2.8 blocks and 1.5 steals per game over a season.

8) Shawn Marion - one of few players in NBA history who can give you 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals on any given night. Constant energy.

7) Chauncey Billups - starting point guard of the arguably the best defensive team of the last 6 years. Billups can get to the line, shoot the three, break his man down one on one, and smother his opponent on defense.

6) Ron Artest - Absolutely tenacious defender, and a solid offensive threat, but can be a very inconsistant shooter at times.

5) Kobe Bryant - Offensively Bryant can get shots up in a hurry, and when he's hot, well...ain't no stoppin' him. He's also a solid man to man defender and gets 1.8 steals per game.

4) Dwight Howard - Arguably could be ranked higher with the way he dominated the boards this season, leading the league at 14.2. But Howard is still a bit raw on offense, even though he's averaging 21 a game.

3) Kevin Garnett - Had low statistics this past season, but Garnett is still the second best offensive/defensive power forward in the NBA. Scores, passes, and actively defends multiple positions.

2) Chris Paul - Can do it all on offense and is the best at his position defensively. Scoring over 20 a game and dishing nearly 12 assist while leading the league in steals at 2.6 per game.

1) Tim Duncan - puts up modest numbers during the season, but when it counts, come playoff time, Duncan is the only big man in the league capable of shutting down the paint, grabbing 15 rebounds and scoring 35 points on any given night.
