    Best player by position

    List the best player you've used by position, and some others you have used for comparison's sake. Please no Jordan, as that would just be boring.


    SF: Ruby Andre Iguodala. A close 2nd goes to Elgin Baylor, but Iguodala's all around game has made him my favorite SF in the game. I despise LeBron's release in this game, so I shoot far better with Iggy. Also, his defense can be game-changing and I love his ability in transition. Other notables I have used: LBJ, Sapphire Pippen, Sapphire Durant, 65 Baylor, 90-91 Worthy, 84-85 Dr J.

    PF: Shawn Kemp. Rebounds very well (not the best, but definitely good enough), his dunks are ridiculous, and he's good at finishing through contact. He's also competent when it comes to paint defense. Other notables I have used: 96 Rodman, Jerry Lucas, Larry Johnson, Sapphire Griffin.

    C: '72 Wilt, by far. I don't have the 71 Wilt, but they are almost identical anyway. He's really the only center I've used that's elite on BOTH ends of the floor. Others I have used: Russell, Olajuwon, Ewing, Malone, LA Shaq, Howard


    I PG/SG off because I still can't find one I truly enjoy. Iverson is my favorite player of all time, but I just don't find him all that fun to use in this game at neither PG nor SG. Jordan is always on my bench because he's boring to use as he's overpowered. I'm currently using Emerald George at SG, and he's also inconsistent -- but I like his size at the position.

    So how about you? Who are your best players at every position?

    Re: Best player by position

    MJ is for fact the best SG, Dominique Wilkins seems like he'd be a beast. I'll find out monday.

    LBJ is the best SF but Afro DR J is really close as well

    I have Hakeem and Shaq and neither are great on offense , gonna get Wilt and hoping he's good on offense.

      How do you know which packs are next? Or do you plan on pulling series packs to get nique?

          Wilt is dominant offensively. You just have to know when to pump fake instead of going straight up as to avoid a foul, as he's horrid from the charity stripe.

          I'd estimate he shoots 80%+ for me.

            Some non obvious answer

            Emerald Lillard Beast has been player of the game on a team that has diamond jordan almost half the time.

            Gary Payton is just all round amazing.

            Diamond Kobe is just insane in iso situations

            Sapphire Harden can play 1-3 he is streaky but if he gets hot just give the ball to him every play he can't miss.

            Ruby Iggy everyone knows about him now

              PG: Maybe Penny overall, but I like '87 Magic the best.
              SG: Diamond Kobe
              SF: Wilkins
              PF: Kemp
              C: Hakeem

              For who's best at each position it really depends on you need from each position.

                  This is a pretty easy one for me.

                  PG: Stephen Curry (Ruby)
                  SG: Paul George (Gold, but Emerald if I had it)
                  SF: Kevin Durant (Diamond)
                  PF: LeBron James (Gold)
                  C: Shaquille O'Neal (Gold; 1994-'95 Magic)

                  I always use LeBron at PF, so that's why he isn't listed as a SF.

                    As of right now, all the players in my signature have been my favorites to use besides Westbrook.

                    I'm not a huge fan of him in this game but he fits my fast paced offense.
                    MyTeam:

                    PG: Russell Westbrook/Stephen Curry/Gary Payton
                    SG: '91 Michael Jordan/Monta Ellis/Diamond Kobe
                    SF: LeBron James/Julius Erving
                    PF: Blake Griffin/'98 Tim Duncan
                    C: Bill Russell/1994-95 Shaq

                      Re: Best player by position

                      Pg: Diamond Derrick Rose good size, great speed, excellent finisher. Decent outside shot. Excellent passer. Gary Payton 2nd best.

                      Sg: 91 Jordan this version is incredible. His ability to jump over people and trigger unstoppable animations makes him the best player in the game. Period. Get him hot and 3s will rain from anywhere. Diamond Jordan to me is 2nd best. He seems to miss more contact layups despite finish and posterizer skills than 91 and for me more free throws.

                      Sf. Diamond Lebron. Lebron is already one of the best in this game. Add bumps to his mid range, defense and 3. If you want to go for one diamond player I say go for him as he is so versatile and can play the 1-4. 2nd best Gold Lebron.

                      Pf Shawn Kemp. An absolute beast. Dunks, finishing around the rim. Rebounding and easy free throws.

                      C: Dwight Howard. Why? Unlike the Wilts, Shaqs, Mutombos, Ewing, Robinson who are all glitched rebounding wise being 7" or taller. Howard grabs boards as he should. Dwight is athletic with quickness for his size so he can easily dunk any alley oops thrown to him. Has the strength that Hakeem lacks when boxing out. Also his free throws are much easier to make consistently vs wilt. 71 Wilt for me is narrowly 2nd best over 94 shaq. As wilt is much better defensively, and has better stamina. Wilts free throws and broken rebounding hurt him. He doesn't dunk or finish alley oops as well as I would like.
