Who do you think are the toughest players to guard when taking it to the rim? My list consists of mostly perimeter players considering it doesn't really go with the territory for a PF or C to face up and put it on the floor.
Top 5
1. Lebron- I've heard many NBA analysts rank him among the best ever at taking it to the rim.
2. Kobe- Sensational slasher. Can evade contact or finish through it. Can dunk on anyone.
3. Dirk- Best driving big man I've ever seen. Makes layup or gets fouled any time he goes to rack.
4. Paul Pierce- Most underrated scoring ability in NBA. Unstoppable for stretches in games.
5. D-Wade- Sensational touch off the glass. One of the best at finishing through contact.
Honorable Mention: Deron Williams, Manu Ginobili, Baron Davis.

At least the Bobby Hurley and Jason Williams comments were funny. Mario Andretti? Just dumb.

because David Wesley clearly won the race, thus making him the better driver.

This is what I came in here to say.
VC has to be up there just because the lane parts like the red sea when he comes through because nobody wants to get dunked on.

He's still got it in him. People definitely still step out of his way...except Zo' - he'll never learn.

Matt Maloney.
Baron Davis or Monta Ellis, for the lack of big men on their team they fucking take it to the hole and eat people alive with no shame, and they aren't even big players.
Of course some one like Dirk is going to be able to hit the hole hard, hes fucking 7 feet tall, if you go by that the best drivers should be Dwight Howard or Amare, one step dunks are so easy for them against probably 90% of NBA teams.

Just because someone is seven feet tall doesn't necessarily make them a great driver. You sure don't see guys like Shaq or Yao driving down the lane. You still have to have great ball skills to go along with that seven foot frame.
