In our October 2011 issue, we asked who your favorite NBA stars are---and you roared with your awesome answers! Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, and Lebron James led the pack and made it in our Top 3. Now here are the runner-ups that you guys voted for as well!

Dirk Nowitski – The 7-ft powerhouse Nowitzki has led the Dallas Mavericks to its first championship EVER! He is also a 10-time All-Star and 11-time member of the All-NBA teams. Whoah! It’s no wonder Dirk received the NBA Most Valuable Player award in 2007!

Michael Jordan – His Airness himself! From a stellar career in college to NBA’s (and perhaps the world’s) legendary basketball player, he led the Chicago Bulls to several championships, including two three-peats in 1991-1993 and 1995-1998! Kneel before his greatness!

Dwyane Wade - The Flash or D-Wade was a member of the All-Rookie team and the All-Star team for several seasons. He also helped the Miami Heat grab their very first NBA Championship in 2006---he was also named NBA Finals MVP there!

Steve Nash – Hailed as the 9^th Greatest Point Guard of All Time by ESPN. This slick and fast dude has lead the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks to conferences championships! He even became an NBA MVP in 2005 and 2006!

Kevin Durant – This guy was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in his very first season in the league! He also led the NBA in scoring and became the youngest player EVER to win an NBA scoring title. Cool!
