Players You Pay to See- NBA

     There are only a certain amount of players who are deemed as "pay to see" players. A pay to see player, a pay to see duo or even a pay to see team must be able to make unbelievable plays, provide excitement and have a unique style that makes them different from the average player. So here is a list of the pay to see players, units and teams in the NBA.

1 Miami Heat Big Three- Specifically Dwyane Wade and LeBron James
     Two of the three best players in the NBA are on the same team. Wade and LeBron both make exciting plays night in and out on the offensive and defensive ends. And throw in Chris Bosh, an All-Star player, the Miami Heat are the team you would pay the most money to see and the combination of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are the two players you would pay the most to see. 


2 Kobe Bryant, SG Los Angeles Lakers 
     Kobe Bryant is the closest thing there is in the NBA to Michael Jordan. Kobe still makes ridiculous shots and he is the Mariano Rivera of basketball because in the clutch, the ball is in Kobe's hands and he comes up big in the biggest scenarios. 


3 Boston Celtics, specifically the big four of Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett
     The Celtics have the most chemistry out of any team in the NBA. They play team basketball, yet all four players bring something the others don't bring to the table. There isn't another point guard in the game that plays like Rondo, who has an unbelievable repertoire of moves. Ray Allen is still the best shooter in the NBA, period. Paul Pierce can make any shot there is, contested or uncontested as well as Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. Lastly, Kevin Garnett plays the game with more energy and intensity than anyone I have ever seen. His pregame performance is worth the price of admission alone. 


4 Derrick Rose, PG Chicago Bulls 
     The more I watch Rose, the more I realize how special he is. He will come to redefine the point guard position because he is the prototype for the "do it all" point guard. He is a good three point shooter, he drives as well as Dwyane Wade can and he makes the smart pass when he needs to. Derrick Rose does it all, which is why he is ranked at number four. 


5 Kevin Durant, SF Oklahoma City Thunder and to a lesser extent, Russell Westbrook, PG 
     Durant is a world class shooter, and his offensive game is deadly for opposing defenses. With the emergence of Russell Westbrook, the duo of him and Durant might be the second best in the NBA after Wade and LeBron. 


6 Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, New York Knicks 
     They had a disappointing playoff exit, but as soon as next year, Anthony and Stoudemire will be tearing up the Eastern Conference along with Wade and LeBron in Miami. The fact that Anthony and Stoudemire play for the prominent New York Knicks also makes them more attractive to the fan. 


7 Blake Griffin, SF Los Angeles Clippers 
     Griffin makes the most exiting dunks in the NBA and once his team starts to win and contend in the postseason, Griffin might become the player you pay the most bucks to see, he is that exciting. 


8 Steve Nash, PG Phoenix Suns 
     Nash, although he is on the older side, is still the best passer in the NBA and he also makes every single shot it seems. Nash is still great to watch, and if you want to become a good point guard, you have to watch Nash. 


9 Dirk Nowitzki, PF Dallas Mavericks 
     For a big man, there isn't a better shooter than Nowitzki. He makes ridiculous turn around jumpers and what's cool about his shots is that more often than not, he swishes them. Nowitzki remains a player you pay to see. 


10 Dwight Howard, C Orlando Magic
     Based on size and defense alone, Howard is fun to watch. He swats balls into the stands as well as making really athletic plays for a man of his stature. He still needs to develop offensively, but who doesn't think dunks are entertaining.
