Yao Ming is dominating the Asian Player of the year category again.

So who is your pick? LeBron James, Dimitris Diamantidis, Dirk Nowitzki, and Ramunas Siskauskas had fantastic years. and Tim Duncan have had a great 2007 full of championships and awards.

And of all the Argentines nominated for the Latin American Player of the Year, do you go with the easy pick of Manu Ginobili, but didn’t Luis Scola have a better well-rounded year overall? Or Pablo Prigioni? What’s worth more – NBA Champion or ACB MVP and leading your team to a surprising finish in the Tournament of the Americas?

Which is a better performance? Helping to win a championship where you are the heavy-favorite and are expected to win (as Joaquim Gomes and Olimpio Cipriano did in the Afrobasket championships) or is leading an underdog to a awesome finish that wasn’t as expected (as Luc Richard Mbah A Moute of Cameroon and Esteban Batista of Uruguay did for their teams)? With that said, where does Iran’s run in the Asian-Championships stand? Enough to be the Team of the Year?

What of Steve Nash, Theodoros Papaloukas, and Leandro Barbosa and Andrei Kirilenko.

In the our Under-22 category, Rudy Fernandez won last year and turned 22 this year, so who will be the new U-22 player of the year? How can one be so informed to make a selection out of all the promising young players that have been nominated? Awesome prospects like Nikola Pekovic (Croatia), Kevin Durant (US), Ricky Rubio (Spain), Andris Biedrins (Latvia), Milan Mačvan (Serbia), Yi JianLian (China), Greg Oden (US) and Kostas Koufos (Greece) are the nominees this year.
