Who Is The Best NBA Player Ever?
We all have our own opinions on who the best NBA player ever is, but there are definitely some contenders for the title. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the greatest players in NBA history and see who comes out on top.
Michael Jordan
Born in 1963, Michael Jordan is widely considered the best basketball player of all time. He was a dominate force in the NBA for many years, leading the Chicago Bulls to six championship titles. Jordan was also a member of the 1992 “Dream Team” that won a gold medal at the Olympic Games. He retired from the NBA in 2003, but remained active as a businessman and philanthropist. In 2010, he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
LeBron James
In his 17th season, LeBron James continues to defy expectations and cement his legacy as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
Averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, and a career-high 10.6 assists per game, James is leading the league in assists for the first time in his career while also posting some of the best scoring and rebounding numbers of his career. At 34 years old, he is playing some of the best basketball of his life, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference.
There have been many great players in NBA history, but there is a strong case to be made that LeBron James is currently the best player in the world and could go down as the greatest player of all time when he ultimately hangs up his sneakers.
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bean Bryant was an American professional basketball player. A shooting guard, he played his entire 20-season career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. He entered the NBA directly from high school and won five NBA championships.
Magic Johnson
Magic Johnson is considered by many to be the best NBA player ever. He was a 12-time NBA All-Star and won five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. He also won an NCAA championship with Michigan State in 1979. Johnson was named the NBA Finals MVP three times and the NBA MVP three times.
Bill Russell
