CHASE RANK: The NBA's Top 100 Players

I had problems with ESPN's #nbarank . Everyone had problems with ESPN's #nbarank . Here are my Top 100. But first my guidelines:
-Contract- DOESNT MATTER
-Age - MATTERS
-Upside - DOESNT MATTER
-Homerism - MATTERS (I tried though)
- Above all I ranked based on what players I think would get you the most wins simply by his presence on a team. If I were picking my top 12 guys based on one single game to determine my life, I may not pick them in this order. Purely based on an 82 game season. Here we go: (I added comments when needed)

100. Andrei Kirilenko
99. Ben Gordon
98. Tayshaun Prince
97. Andrea Barginani

93. Elton Brand
92. Emeka Okafor
91. Mehmet Okur
90. DeAndre Jordan
89. Andre Miller
88. Chauncey Billups In the battle of washed-up, semi-fat PG's I took Billups over Miller
87. Thaddeus Young
86. Carl Landry
85. Darren Collison
84. Jrue Holliday

8. Chris Paul
7. Deron Williams
6. Kevin Durant
5. Derrick Rose
4. Dirk Nowitzki
3. Dwayne Wade
