Team leaders

The team leaders are the key persons in the team and every general managers would like to have star like Lebron James in the roster. These stars has own team and everybody is focusing on them.

True Leaders
There are only several players who are able to dominate and lead their teams long time. Here are players who lead the same team's stats for at least four years:

• Lebron James (24)
  
• Nowitzki Dirk (31)
  
• Bryant Kobe (31)
  
• Vince Carter (32)
  
• Chris Paul (24)
  
• Dwight Howard (23)
  
• Tim Duncan (33)
  
• Bosh Chris (25)
  
• Baron Davis (30)
  
• Andre Iguodala (25)
  

To be in this list means to be the best in the team for several season and be able to resist against injuries. In several teams is big competition and is difficult be the best every year. The oldest leader is Tim Duncan (33). The young players are coming forward Paul James and the youngest Howard. Leadership of New Jersey should take Devin Harris. Iguodala took the leadership from Allen Iverson at Philadelphia after his trade in 2006.

Interesting duo Howard - Carter will be very strong at Orlando this year. Combination of powerful center with dynamic Vince Carter (potential 20-5-5 this year) can bring additional wins.
