A friend of mine says Lebron is THE BEST player in the NBA right now.....my other friend is arguing big time saying he is about the 25th best player right now. I would say top 5 right now....
Lebron is in my top 10 for sure. You are right, its possibly top 5. The kid is beyond amazing, way BEYOND. Once you saw him play that first game against the Kings, you knew he was going to be great.
Agree for the most part, not sure about Kobe.......
Players another level above James (for now)
Shaq
Duncan
Garnett
Players on equal level to Lebron right now......
Dirk Nowitzki
Tracy McGrady
Kobe Bryant
Dwaye Wade
Amare Stoudemire
Grant Hill (when healthy)
and in about 2 years ...... Dwight Howard - Orlando Magic
Third Tier Of Players.......
Allen Iverson
Stephon Marbury
Jason Kidd
Steve Francis
Paul Pierce
Shawn Marion
Top 7 for sure and closing fast...His body alone puts him in a class by himself, just wait il the skills are polished in two years, he will be the 21st Century MJ and we will all be rooting against him and Cleveland just like Da Bulls were...
I feel like Portland -- I thought that the best players in that draft were (in order) Carmelo , LeBron, Wade (no, I'm not making this up), and TJ Ford (bust).
TJ Ford is not a bust....you cant say someone is a bust after he's missed more games due to injury then he has played...whenever he comes back he will give u 10+ assists every night.
name him a bust if he gets sent to europe after playing 2+ years in the nba,.
Garnett, lebron, wade, nowitzki and duncan are th best players in no specific order. kobe is close.
Someone mentioned yao. he isnt in the top 25. he is the most overrated and overhyped players in NBA history. if you watch him play you would realize that he isnt anything special
