Who is your favorite player to watch when they are at their 100% best? For me, it's Kevin Durant. When he is on, he's unbelievable. From his quick jump shooting off the pass and dribble, to his high flying dunks. Dude's a beast. Probably my favorite KD play to watch is when he drives the bucket and elevates over a defender to slam it home. Dude rises like none other, and it looks so sweet b/c he's so damn long.

Outside of KD it's gotta be LBJ #2, and probably Westbrook. I'm clouded with the Westbrook pick, however, b/c i just got done watching the finals. Others I could see taking the #3 spot could include Derick Rose, Blake Griffin or Carmelo Anthony.

As for the question, I'd go Kyrie..

I love great PG's, especially ones who are the total package.

Lebron. It's not even close. Saw him for the first time in an aau game when he was in 7th grade. Then a friend and I drove from Lancaster to Akron at least 5-10 times a year from his sophomore year on to watch his hs games. It was crazy to see someone so talented.

Kyrie is very quickly climbing up there. He's so fun to watch.

In the current game, its Kyrie, KD and Mike Conley. CP3 and DWill used to be up there as well, but I can't stand to watch the clippers bc of their whiny attitude, and no one enjoys watching the Nets.

Larry Johnson is my favorite player of all time to watch though.

Durant slightly over LBJ, because I love a great pull up game more than anything in basketball.

Second tier is pretty full, but if these guys are on TNT/ESPN when Im home, Im probably tuning in.
-Blake
-Eric Gordon (Clear Indiana bias, but he does have a really fun game)
-Westbrook
-Love
-Uncle Drew
-Michael Redd (when he was playing)

Lebron. Could be the most complete package of all time. I really wish he would have broken up with us more gently instead of buttf*cking us on national tv.

Outside of Lebron, it's Kyrie/CP3. Like Hoops said, I love total package PGs and Kyrie appears to be the closest thing to CP3 among the young PGs

I cant stand to watch Blake Griffin if he isnt dunking then he's throwing up some off balance bull shit.
LBJ, KD, Montae Ellis is my darkhorse.

Westbrook and Blake Griffen are great to watch because of their explosiveness.

When Durant is on I really enjoy watching him shoot. If he gains some muscle and can get freed up for better shots, the sky's the limit for him.
