Best player now

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

Charles Barkley.  I'm serious.  He was two or three years ago when he
had his great year and, yes, while Michael was still playing. 
Barkley, though he can't show it every game now, is the best rebounder
in basketball, an excellent scorer and absolute money down the
stretch.  Those
who say Pippin can argue defense and scoring, but not clutch.  Pippin
also is inconsistent at this point in his career.  My second choice
would be Tim Duncan.
