Whos the best all round player in the NBA right now

[Goldthorpe]

LeBron James or Shawn Marion.

The only player in the NBA that plays both sides of the ball is not playing at the moment and thats Ron Artest.

What about AK-47?
best shot blocker in the league, comes up with a ton of assists and is capable of coming up with a triple double, and can hit the clutch 3.

I agree with the bit about the playoffs, and Duncan.

I don't agree that Lebron is better all round than Kobe. Yes he has a bigger stronger body, but if you break down the game into its skills - dribbling, shooting, passing, defending, rebounding - Kobe is better in all except maybe rebounding. I know he isn't passing much this year, but Kobe can be a good passer. Plus Kobe is a proven clutch performer, where as Saab said on another thread LBJ has yet to prove himself as a 4th quarter clutch shooter.

I tend to agree that at this point in time Kobe will more likely win a game for you, but lets not forget LBJ is only 21 and is about 7 years Kobe's junior, by the time he's Kobe's age he'll be averaging almost Oscar Robertson like numbers.
