	A little more time would be nice.

	shortman24:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 23:44 GMT		-3 points
	Accept Shaq also.

	brianc:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT		5 points
	Good quiz. Maybe not the most agreeable choices but it's a fun quiz to try to name them

	brianc:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 23:53 GMT		2 points
	Oh, and there's a typo in the second column, third from the top, city name

	Dainamo:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 00:10 GMT		0 points
	Good quiz. Got 45 so could do with a little more time, but c'est la vie. Cannot believe Rashard Lewis and Gerald Wallace ain't on there, but that's the SportingNews' fault. Not yours. Nice one overall.

	agoo101284:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 00:20 GMT		4 points
	Interesting read on the results. I'm wondering why there's Nene and McGrady, but no Wallace or Al Jefferson.

	torb:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 00:24 GMT		-3 points
	yeah this is a very flawed list - also you should make clear whether current NBA stars mean they are currently stars or they are currently playing

	thefireyone:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 00:58 GMT		4 points
	Problems fixed. But I'm surprised A.I aint on there even though he's a spent force

	Gjezman:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 04:45 GMT		1 point
	As far as stars AI should be on here, as far as good Al Jefferson should be on here. Surprisingly the TWolves got something good in return for KG.

	Supernuke:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 05:03 GMT		4 points
	Andrew Bynum should not be on this list. David Lee and Gerald Wallace could use some love.

	West:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 05:07 GMT		5 points
	Michael Redd? Richard Jefferson? T-Mac? Nene? If Derrick Rose wasn't on here I would have sworn this list was made 5-6 years ago.

	SOAR21:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 06:53 GMT		3 points
	Agree with West. Anyways there are at least 10 players I would have replaced on this list with 10 other players that didn't make it.

Comment below threshold: show it

	loooooolllllll sporting news

	SirPhiz:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 14:21 GMT		3 points
	No wonder no one reads there awful magazine. This is a garbage list

	DirtyKash:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 15:01 GMT		1 point
	Hahaha Hedo Turkoglu ain't no star.

	Dirtybird:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 17:38 GMT		2 points
	I assume this list was made back in the pre-season.

	king21:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 17:39 GMT		2 points
	Please add another minute to the quiz. Like everyone said, this list stinks, which reflects on how bad the Sporting News has become. Richard Jefferson isn't even the best Jefferson in the league. So many guys deserve to be on here instead of who they have.

	charlie villanueva, but no antawn jamison?? thats ridiculous

	saf5109:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 19:09 GMT		7 points
	Charlie Villanueva proves that you don't have to rebound, defend, take good shots and win to be a top 50 player. Maybe Kwame Brown will be on this next year

	jakajaka:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 19:51 GMT		5 points
	Wow this is an awful list. Shane Battier, Charlie Villanueva, Ben Gordon, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest and Hedo Turkoglu are on but David Lee, Gerald Wallace, Antwan Jamison, Stephen Jackson, Caron Butler and Chris Kaman aren't?

	dlh1231:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 20:57 GMT		1 point
	This is a horrible list. Where's Gerald Wallace, Antawn Jamison, Al Jefferson... the list goes on and on.

	HahaNah:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 21:04 GMT		0 points
	everyone is forgetting a huge piece that is on this list. Elton Brand? He plays just over 2 quarters a game this year and has been in a downward spiral for years

	jsftrey:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 21:17 GMT		-3 points
	I missed a lot because the one's that I missed aren't even good so I didn't think about them.

	Wolverine23:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 21:41 GMT		0 points
	Say the team name.

	Wolverine23:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 21:43 GMT		0 points
	yao ming doesn't even play he's hurt

	PublicEnemy:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 22:29 GMT		1 point
	good quiz! Gasol ahead of Bosh, Durant, etc. is laughable.

	mattycakes345:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 22:46 GMT		1 point
	I may be biased being from Toronto, but putting Yao Ming who barely ever plays ahead of Chris Bosh, who is leading or close to leading the league in double doubles boggles my mind!

	Golden:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 23:05 GMT		2 points
	How can Ming possibly even make a list of 'current' NBA stars when he will not play once this year? This is a terrible list... as many have said above. But just to further it... Michael Redd?? But no Bogut? Rose at 26th but Westbrook can't make it? McGrady in the top half but no Iverson anywhere? Ben Gordon???? But no Rip Hamilton. Charlie Villanueva but not David Lee. Jason Kidd but not Monta Ellis? Elton Brand but no Gerald Wallace? Gil Arenas but no Jamison or Butler? Nene but no Kaman? And how can Durant possibly be that low... he ought to be in the top 5 for MVP this year. The whole thing reads as though the writer kept forgetting whether he was trying to write a list of the top 50 players today (in which case McGrady is unforgivable) or the top 50 all time players still active (in which case the absence of Iverson is unforgivable). It may have been written by a large panel of people who ought to be qualified, but it makes you wonder how many of them get out to watch games very often.

	Golden:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 23:06 GMT		0 points
	However, as a quiz, I like your format (position only, no team) It's different and interesting.

	Rom:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 23:14 GMT		-2 points
	No Al Jefferson, Gerald Wallace, or Allen Iverson? Seriously?

	acas:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 00:47 GMT		1 point
	your telling me Charlie V is better the R. Lewis? or Bultler? And I agree with this dude about me....Jefferson, Wallace???

	old1school0:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 01:29 GMT		0 points
	The lakers has their starting five on there, the horrid Nets have someone on there...says something about the Knicks doesnt it...FML! PS-Im a knicks fan

	soxnut23:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 13:13 GMT		2 points
	i really think big al jefferson is underrated

	dsebo95:	Feb 7th, 2010 at 01:23 GMT		1 point
	how is villanueva on the list and not kevin martin

	rudyfernandez5:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 00:52 GMT		1 point
	monta ellis is one of the top scorers in the league and he didnt even make the list

	truk:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 04:17 GMT		1 point
	a lot of people before me have many complaints that I agree with, but I just want to give a shout out to Rodney Stuckey, he deserves mention over a lot of the guys on this list, especially both Pistons chosen: Gordon and Villanueva.

	Kroger:	Feb 8th, 2010 at 07:08 GMT		0 points
	bostnboy3, are you a retard, that would make him #5. Also, if it's "stars" why isn't Iverson on there? His game has diminished, but he's still a really big name.

	Hedo who?
