Which player is ranked number one in the NBA?

Answer 1

This answer would change about every 10 years. For instance, during the 1990's, Michael Jordan was clearly the best player in the NBA. He is considered the greatest player to ever put on an NBA uniform or play the game of basketball.

However, for the 2000's, Kobe Bryant would probably be the best player. He has proven to be clutch and that he can score when he wants to. Towards the end of the 2000's, LeBron James clearly became the top player. He was already dominant when he came out of high school, but wasn't polished enough to be considered better than Kobe Bryant.

As of 2010, LeBron James is the best player and ranked number one by most of the NBA scouts, observers, reporters, general managers, players, etc. He brought three things to the NBA that the league had never seen in one person: Size, strength, and speed. He said himself that he can score 50 anytime he wants to but prefers to involve his teammates, as it would help in the long run (i.e. playoffs, winning a championship). Once LeBron James mastered the jumpshot, he became unguardable.
