At this point, Kobe Bryant is the best player for me because he plays in a completely different level compared to other players, but I believe LeBron's gonna be better than him in the future. He's still young but look at what he can do already.

Tim Duncan IS the best player of the last 5 years, not 10. Look at the competition. 2nd is Shaq. But Jordan won 3 rings in 96, 97 and 98 which is in the last 10 years.\n\nKevin Garnett: 1 playoff run in 10 years? 7 first round exits? sorry, gotta do better than that. No excuse having no team around him, neither does Lebron and he got to the 2nd round about 6 or 7 years before Garnett did in his career.\n\nKobe Bryant: Please hahahahha, not an all around player at all, just a ball hog. Anyone can score 80 points when they shoot 100 times a game. Won his rings cause of Shaq. Proof: Lakers fail to make playoffs first year Shaq is gone, Lakers have first round exit second year. Shaq wins another ring.\n\nTim Duncan: consistant, 3 rings, MVPs, great defender.\n\nThe next 10 years looks like Lebron and Wade.

One-dimensional?? Are you crazy? Do you even watch him play?? He will be THE BEST of his class!! Even better than Lebron (Which I've known since day one!)... watch and see!

LeBron is a phenominal player and MJ is a legend but you cannot possibly compare Micheal Jordan and Lebron James, MJ is the one and only and he is the truth, but right now only time will tell but untill then MJ will remain the greatest that has ever played the game of basketball!

You guys Are being kind of bias. The only people who say that Lebron is better is mainstream fans they dont watch games they just hear the hype and how he has lived up to it. You just forgot all the achievements of KG Lebron is a great player but he's 21. What has he done. He has had pretty good numbers for 3 years. But Garnetts had better numbers for 7 years. Garnett has been MVP Garnetts been in the playoffs Garenett is thought by ESPN and TNT to be in top 3 best players in The NBA. \n\n     I seriously do believe that Lebron could be the next Jordan his numbers were probally better than jordan at his age. But right now he does not have a better Career than Kevin Garnett. I can say he will definitely end up to be better than him but right now no way.

No LeBron may be the best player in the game, but the Pistons are the best team. If you shut down one of the scorers they still have 2 or 3 others who can take on the load. I think they are the best team in the NBA.

Lebron James no question! He's the best offensive player to ever play already. (offense meaning more than just scoring he has good assist and rebound numbers)He takes so much pressure off of his team mates the way defenses key on him. Carmelo is just a scorer. Once Lebron starts playing D it will be amazing.

Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!

The best is definitely Kobe.  Lebron is up there but Kobe is an amazing player that can do anything.  He can shoot from anywhere, has the craziest dunks.  His defense is a lockdown type.  He is just hitting his prime too.  I can't wait to see what Lebron turns into but Kobe is amazing.\n\nHere are the 5\n\nPG - Steve Nash.  He sees the court like no other.  I think his soccer background helps him out a lot.  He made Marion be the player he needed to be without Stoudemire.\n\nSG - Kobe Bryant.  If you read above you'll see why.\n\nSF - Lebron James - A freak of nature.  The dude is 21 and a superstar on the rise.  Possibly top 10 of all time when his career is done.\n\nPF - Elton Brand - He has developed into a premier power forward.  He can do it all.  He is a beast in the paint and his team would be nothing without him.  Ask me this question in like 2 years and without a doubt my choice for PF will be Dwight Howard.  I can't wait to see him dominate.\n\nC - Shaquille O'Neal - When he is on the court its a different game.  He may not score like he used to but just his presence makes teams play a different style.  Sure he is on his way out but he can still win a championship.

Without a shadow of a doubt he is the best player in the world at the moment.Every aspect of his game is so solid and his leadership qualities are the stuff of legend.There are more skillful players.But none better.

He is the best center in the nba. He''s not a center so you can't compare him to power forwards. The best center used to be Shaq but he is too old already and the torch is now passed to Yao. He still has a ways to go but he is improving every year and is definitely the best center right now.

Not after last night. Wade is the 3 best player in the game. Only Kobe and King James are better right now.

I'd say LeBron James because he has a complete game.
