Who would you rather pick as your Franchise player?

Question

Out of these 10 Players.

Take Note: They are not in order and are all rookies this time

Who will be your first pick to be your Franchise Player

1. LeBron James

2. Kobe Bryant

3. Dwyane Wade

4. Carmelo Anthony

5. Tracy McGrady

6. Kevin Garnett

7. Dwight Howard

8. Allen Iverson

9. Shaquille O'Neal

10. Tim Duncan

Answer 1

A prime Shaquille O'Neal has no clear competition in your list.

Even the young Shaquille O'Neal could have dominated the competition because clearly that version of Shaq can carry the ball, dribble like a guard and menacingly plant a dunk on your face. Shaq was such a brutal force back then that some dubbed him the modern Wilt Chamberlain, the Big Aristotle and others.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

This is too easy, Tim Duncan.

The Spurs is the worst team before he came. Don't say that Robinson started it. Excuse me, Robinson was not in his prime when Tim Duncan came.

Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward of all-time, simply.

- Tim Duncan made Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili better and great. Did Michael Jordan made Scottie Pippen better? Did Kobe Bryant made Shaquille O'neal better? Did Bill Russell made 4 hall of famers better?

Answer: Nope, they did not. Tim Duncan was too unselfish and serene to break a team.

Tim Duncan didn't only made other players better but he give the team a core, a unique personality and talent to be remember forever.

Bottom line, Tim Duncan would have score 35 ppg, 15 rpg and 3 bpg if he wants to.

Answer 3

kobe. and if i still hev chance to pick Garnett i will. cause they are my faves.

but if u want to pick brilliantly, Duncan or Shaq, cause it will give you immediate wins or ships but not in the long run.

Answer 4

Tim Duncan. He has the best personality of the bunch, easiest to work with and is a proven champion.

Answer 5

Kobe and LeBron can boost morale of the whole team with their ability to do just about anything. I go for favorites and pick Lebron James.

Answer 6

IT'S GONNA BE:

1. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL (You won't believe how good this guy is when he was young)

2. TIM DUNCAN (Already a Champion ready when he was young)

3. DWAYNE WADE (Quick learner and wise)

4. LEBRON JAMES (Quick learner)

The rest took quit a while to mature up!

Answer 7

As A rookie I would go For Kobe Bryant And Lebron James

But In The Prime I Pick Kobe

Answer 8

Thats hard with the names you got listed but I would have to say kobe or D wade

Answer 9

As a Dirk Nowitzki fan, it's hard to say it but it's also hard to argue against Duncan's 4 rings and impact on a team.

Answer 10

Assuming that the player was starting as a rookie, I'd pick Shaquille O'Neal. He is easily one of the most dominant players to ever play the game of basketball, and I can build around him easily. Either him, or Tim Duncan.  

Answer 11

Shaquille  O'NEAL

Answer 12

Shaq Diesel - He took 3 teams to the Finals

-Took Orlando to their first and ONLY final.

-Helped Heat win their first and ONLY championship.

- 4 Final apperances and 3 championships with the Lakers

-In 16 years he has been in 203 playoff games, thats equal to about 2.5 regular seasons to his career...Bottom Line: he is a proven winner

Answer 13

Garnett:  He is a great defender and rebounder, has a deadly mid range shot (up to 21 feet) and makes his free throws.  On top of it all he can pass and get good assists numbers  With a different shooting coach, KG could have been both a physical defender inside and a three point marksman on the outside.

Answer 14

amare stodomire. he can play the 4 or 5. he is a force from the inside, can post up anyone. can rebound and block also.

Answer 15

all rookies?

a.i. he couldnt be stopped when he was younger.

Answer 16

either kobe or garnett in their prime otherwise carmelo hes got the outside shot and hes strong inside

Answer 17

Kobe Bryant

LeBron can't defend, can't shoot jumpshots, he's not clutch and can't shoot freethrows.

Kobe just has it all.

Answer 18

LeBron James....Coz he can do it all

G0t it? Go0d!!!!

Answer 19

tim duncan

Answer 20

LBJ because he's still young and I'm looking for my fictitious franchise to have multiple titles in the future and not go for one immediately.

Answer 21

Tim Duncan. only 3 of the players have won 2 or more rings since 99 and duncan has done it without ever having a losing season or a high draft pick. you need a good big man before anything else and as good as the other players are TD is the most versitile for development and longevity for the league. Howard is still in his developent stage but he would be a close 2nd. shaq is great but his ego and lack of conditioning plus his salary would make it hard to deal with.

Answer 22

Kobe Bryant.
