    Kevin Durant, he is young talented with a winning attitude so he won't be hard to manage. He is also the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, and in about 2-3 years maybe less he will be the best player in the league.

    Either Dwight Howard or Kevin Durant.

    Howard is a Legit Center and you Can't go wrong building around true center's that play the game well.

    Durant is an everything player. He can score, he can pass, he can rebound and he's an underrated defender. Add to that he led a team with the same core of talent and players from a 30 win team to a 50 win team. Any player that does that can and should be built around.

    To the people that are saying build around your PG, when is the last time a PG led team won the finals? Detroit? No, that team was led by RIPS scoring and Big Ben's D. SA. That was Tim Duncan's team, they gave it to Parker because he was with Eva.

    Lots of good choices, but I believe the best position to build around is a point guard- a floor general. As one person suggested Nash, but he's too old now. My selection would be Derek Rose.

    Don't get me wrong...Kevin's a great and amazing talent, but Rose has the ability to do it all. Lock-down defender, incredibly strong and is only 21 years old! When you have other guys out there, you need someone capable of getting them the ball and controlling the pace of the game. It's essential to have a PG that sees the entire floor and organizes his men by calling plays.

    Rose is going to get better and better. I believe Kevin has hit his max ability unless he's able to gain an extra 50lbs of muscle. Rose is the guy that can produce a championship caliber team. He brings a certain "edge" and attitude to the game that's essential to win. Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq...all had it- Rose has it. Sorry Kevin.

    Chis Paul. As the above comment stated...you need a floor general. I believe Paul is bettert than rose. I think durant is one dimensional and Nash is old as is Kobe. Lebron isn't a winner. He's the best player but he doesn't have the desire.

    Tyreke Evans

    1) LeBron James: He is only 25 years old (Kobe is 32, and Wade is 28 that's why I wouldn't pick them)

    HM: Dwight Howard:24 years old, Kevin Durant: Only 21 years old

    I can't list Nash?

    My first pick would have to be from the Miami Heat starting lineup, Dwyane Wade.
