Remember when Lebron fans tell you Lebron was the best player from 2007 until now?! That $hit is false! He wasn’t considered the best player in the NBA until like the second year in the Heat in 2012-13! He wasn’t the best before that!
Yeah you should watch the 2011 finals. 18+7+7 and 4TO in 44 mins does not get you best player in the league. And 4 straight 4th quarters with 2 points or less😳 Yall think Giannis choked... watch that series
This was after the NBA Finals of 2011. It was at the time when everyone was pissed off lebron because he failed in the finals and he didn't show any aggressiveness or any heart. Now Stephens list probably would be 1 LeBron 2 Durant 3 Wade . I don't know who would be 4 and 5.
they talk about rings and championships as if its a single player winning it, if you have a complete TEAM around you, that's what will get championships
Kobe in his prime was the best player but he's not top 5 anymore. Just because he shoots a lot doesn't make him the best in the league. You could argue top 10 but he's not on the level of Durant/Lebron.
Before I say Rose is top 5 he has to not get injured in the playoffs. He can ball but I wanna see how he can make more noise in the playoffs without getting injured.
I'm talking bout as far as carrying your team. He was MVP for a reason. I'm rating from the standpoint that Skip and SAS were in which was the 2012-2011 season where they weren't injured. 2012 is a different list. Rose led his team in scoring and assisting, as well as great leadership and clutch performances as well
Even with LeBron having just gone through that big finals meltdown, leaving him out of the top 5 at this point in time was some unbelievably inexcusable shit.
Na cuz he was seen as a choker since he lost to the Dwight Howard Magic in 09 and then the even older celtics in 10 then was out played by the mavs 6th man in the finals in 2011. Ain't no way anyone had him in the top 5 after that.
@@themaverick1898 well, he was still top 5 so idk what to tell those people lol, and they’re crazy if they’re actually using 2009 as part of that argument. I uunderstand that in game 6 specifically his individual performance wasn’t all that, but they act like the dude wasn’t by far the best player in that series when he was.
@jimtaylor6447 he wasn't. Kobe, Wade, Duncan and KG were definitely ranked above him since they had rings. Howard had just beat him and won DPOY again so he was 5th.
Yeah, he may be. But so is Crawford. And Wade started so high in his career that no matter how much he falls off, he'll still be a top 10-15 player in the game, and Crawford (who has some of the best handles in the league) will never reach that mark.
1. Chris Paul 2. Lebron James 3. Dwayne Wade 4. Dwight Howard 5. Deron Williams Kobe is my favorite player of all time but he is not carrying his team like he used to that is why i don't have him up there. Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony do not play well enough defensively to be ranked ahead of great to-way players. I believe that when you do a list of the top players you can't ignore any aspect of the game. You must be well-rounded and versatile on both sides of the ball.
1. LeBron James 2. Kevin Durant 3. Dwight Howard 4. Chris Paul 5. Kevin Love 6. Kobe Bryant 7. Russell Westbrook 8. Dwyane Wade 9. Rajon Rondo 10. Carmelo Anthony
Bron at #1... 1. can play every position but center at an elite level 2. 4th all time in MVP's won(more than kobe, olajuwon, shaq and duncan) 3. 6th all time ppg (higher than kobe and kobe is called a scorer) 4.Only player EVER who could score, defend, pass and rebound at an elite level.
Ahdithan Uthayakumar AT THE TIME DIRK WAS BETTER THAN LEBRON. NOT TALENT WISE BUT AS A PLAYER AND AS A CLOSE. LEBRON WAS PLAYING WITH 2 OTHER ALL STARS AND ANOTHER TOP 5 player AND COULDNT WIN. UNACCEPTABLE
he also has became a good passer and i agree with he does take alot of shots but if it wasnt for him they wouldnt be championship contenders. and i know the thunder are #1 in the conference the bulls are #1 overall.
Kobe has lost in more finals than Lebron has been to?? nope...kobe has lost as much finals as lebron has....matter of fact Lebron has only won 2 out of 10 final games and got swept by the Spurs in 07
Wade 1 because he is much more clutch than Lebron and passing and rebeound is only a little bit less when he was alone in miami compared to lebron alone in cleveland. Wade has the same skill-set as Lebron but more clutch basically and more versatility/quickness cuz he's smaller. Durant cuz he's top 3 clutch in the NBA now, unstopable offense. rebound well, and block and steal alot now. Kobe, cuz Kobe, Clutch and versatile scorer, smart as hell. Lebron , same as Wade not as much clutch, n Dwight.
"He ain't Deron Williams" That shit's hilarious looking back😂
You people forget that Lebron had just choked through the NBA Finals, everybody was questioning him
Remember when Lebron fans tell you Lebron was the best player from 2007 until now?! That $hit is false! He wasn’t considered the best player in the NBA until like the second year in the Heat in 2012-13! He wasn’t the best before that!
He’s better than the guys on these list tho, and was at the time
this was just a reaction to his finals performance that year. He was considered top two before then
Skip really been calling him westbrick since 2011 😭😭😭💀 crazy
who is here in 2019? im 13 so i cant imagine a time where Lebron isn’t number 1😂😂
Im here in 2020 ... however bro This is BLASPHEMY !! Lebron was disrespected on this debate !
Yeah you should watch the 2011 finals. 18+7+7 and 4TO in 44 mins does not get you best player in the league. And 4 straight 4th quarters with 2 points or less😳 Yall think Giannis choked... watch that series
Nick 34 💯Yup Im a dallas fan , I remember dirk shooting 6-20 also ... That was a tough series! They force bron to pass instead of attacking the basket
Neither one of them having him in the top 5 is just silly though.
@@YE-mp4zg nah at that time he got knocked out of the top 5 for that disappearing act.
lol at carmello "clutch gene"
The fact that neither of them had lebron in the top 5 is unbelievable
@@Gallant972310 but they have Kobe aged of dirk when dirk just swept Kobe?
lechoke was awful in this final, people were tired of his choking ass at the time
@@izuokoko1896Kobe was injured in that series
nah, 8 points in an elimination game is god awful, absolutely not top 5

so much for Wade not folding in games anymore. look at him during the Pacers series.
Because obviously, "heart" and "passion" matter more than skill and stats in the NBA.
Lebron not in the top 5 for skip? This is so much BS.

No point refuting what you say when I have a simple, unbias fact. Kobe : 5 Lebron: 1. Is as simple as rocks and sand
Westbrook is a beast. Next 3 years he will be the BEST PG IN THE GAME!! right now, he is still learning his PG role, but he is learning.

are you watching melo hes scores 40 almost everynight now shooting a high percentage
I'd probably add in Dwight just to have a center lol :P
Most pre-mature rankings of all time
my list is lebron kevin durant d wade kobe bryant d rose when healthy dwight carmello and chris paul and russel westbrook
Hah! Who would you rather want?
Career Averages:
Wade - 25 PPG, 6 APG, 5 RPG, 2 STL, 49 FG%, 26 PER, 2 Championships
Crawford - 15 PPG, 4 APG, 3 RPG, 1 STL, 41 FG%, 17 PER, 0 Championships
If that doesn't completely dismantle your argument, I don't know does.
I thought this was spot on, except the whole Dirk thing. That's just funny.
This list was made after LBJ's finals performance against the MAVS. They were made LBJ screwed up their predictions of HEAT in 6
1:13
Kobe has lost in more finals than Lebron has been to?? nope...kobe has lost as much finals as lebron has....matter of fact Lebron has only won 2 out of 10 final games and got swept by the Spurs in 07

2-KD
3-Kobe
4-dywane wade
5-Rondo
D rose is so much better than rondo it’s a fact he’s better than d wade and Kobe Bryant back than
That is my list I know Rondo is not better than LeBron and Kobe but i like Rondo cuz he is a true point guard !!
The top 5 NBA Players are:
1- LeBron James
2- Kevin Durant
3- Kobe Bryant
4- Carmelo Anthony
5- Dwayne Wade
Dwayne Wade over Kobe!!! have they gone mad?
I wonder if they take defense into account at all
yes because you went straight to the NBA from high school and are one of the top players in the league
Imagine thinking 2011 Wade better than 2011 Kobe lmao
Was the first & last time they ever put DWade at #1 😢😢
He was arguably the best in the league after the 2006 finals. It was very brief but it did happen
PG:Magic
SG:MJ
SF:LeBron
PF:Duncan
C:Hakeem "The Dream" THE BEST BIG MAN OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Dion S 😂😂😂 April fools?
Switch out Lebron for Larry Bird and you my friend got a perfect list
Zack Armstrong. I would take KD before Bird
the reasons carmelo is on the list is because hes not gonna ball hog whens kobes on the team to smart for that
here's my list
In 2011 D Wade was the best player. Period
Emre Ç. best player from 09-11
Wade 1 because he is much more clutch than Lebron and passing and rebeound is only a little bit less when he was alone in miami compared to lebron alone in cleveland. Wade has the same skill-set as Lebron but more clutch basically and more versatility/quickness cuz he's smaller. Durant cuz he's top 3 clutch in the NBA now, unstopable offense. rebound well, and block and steal alot now. Kobe, cuz Kobe, Clutch and versatile scorer, smart as hell. Lebron , same as Wade not as much clutch, n Dwight.
