The usual suspects forming the top 9 of the greatest basketball players list in some order are
- MJ
- LeBron
- Kareem
- Wilt
- Bill Russell
- Magic
- Tim Duncan
- Larry Bird
- Shaq
Who rounds out the top 10 list at #10? Some names that come to mind are
- Kobe
- Hakeem
- Oscar
- Steph
Steph Curry is the greatest shooting point guard of all time. Magic Johnson is the greatest consummate point guard ever. They are interchangeable based on preference and how your team is built.
Statistically speaking, James is doing better than Jordan and will have better stats when it’s all said and done. I’m not going to go into this, but if you have Jordan at #1, I respect it, if you have LeBron at #1, I respect it.
