LeBron James is the best basketball player in the world...

.... according to ESPN.com.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7116977/nba-player-rankings-1

1. LeBron James
2. Dwight Howard
3. Dwyane Wade
4. Chris Paul
5. Dirk Nowitzki
6. Kevin Durant
7. Kobe Bryant
8. Derrick Rose
9. Deron Williams
10. Blake Griffin

I'm a little surprised LeBron is #1. I'm a HUGE Miami Heat fan and I would put Dirk #1. I think he's earned it after that playoff performance.

 

[Ace Bandage]

He is the also the biggest fucking whiny douche bag in the NBA. That is indisputable.

Fuck him and fuck the Heat. He's the main reason why I root for the other 29 NBA franchises.

[Bloodshot Scott]

Ironic, considering ESPN is the same organization that sucked him off on his little "South Beach" decision/program.

Wow, never heard that before.

Wow, never heard that before.

Yeah, I know.

I hope you hear it all the time, especially when they're eliminated from the playoffs.

- That's what I do whenever someone tells me they're a LeBron or a Heat fan. I guess there's always room on that bandwagon.

 

[Icewater Jones]

That list is a flat out joke. LeBron at number one is laughable, but no as laughable as Chris Paul at four. In what world does Paul come before Bryant??? Seriously. Here is a much more sensible list.

1. Dirk Nowitzki
2. Dwight Howard
3. LeBron James
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Kevin Durant
6. Dwayne Wade
7. Derrick Rose
8. Carmelo Anthony
9. Blake Griffin
10. Chris Paul

uh... I actually hate the guy. Always have, even when he was with Cleveland. The only bandwagon fans are ones who now hate Lebron after he left Cleveland. It seems the cool thing to do now is trash Lebron. You and about 95% of people these days.

Miami-Dade was renamed Wade-County for a reason.

I actually like this list. Though, I would put Wade and Paul a little bit higher, but still, good list.

I wanted to put Wade higher but I couldn't quite see putting him ahead of Bryant and Durant. Paul led the league in assists, but was 40th in scoring. That is too much of a stretch to overcome. I could've argued a few others at this spot.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

ESPN saying Lebron is the best basketball player in the world is like the Burger King saying he thinks Whoppers are better than Big Macs.

 

[OzzieOz]

It will be amusing if he never wins a championship, it seems to happen to those who go after the money or are after a fast path of success. And rightfully so..... :1orglaugh

 

[YumiYumi_1988]

I personally have a handful of qualms with the list. That said, at least they got the top 2 right. LeBron and Dwight are the two best, in whichever order you choose. They are the two players that completely change how the opposing team plays. Btw Blake Griffin at 10 and Eric Gordon at 39 is a joke. Gordon is just as valuable to the Clippers as Griffin, just he doesn't dunk alot.

he is a douche. but the heat, as a team, is a big douche. lebrons disrespectful on top of it and a shit talker. him and derek fisher. man, i cant stand them.

 

[STDiva]

Damn. Blake Griffin already a top 10 player?? The list is pretty solid otherwise, although, I'd make some slight changes.

WTF did Derek Fisher do??

I've hated Lebron and thought he was a douche since he was still in High School (the whole getting free jersey's given to him & then feigning surprise that it wasn't for "getting good grades"....which got him suspended for a few games, then his mother getting loans that they couldn't afford and wouldn't have gotten if not for the bank betting on his future earning potential, then all of the hype and ESPN televising some of his High School games....yeah plenty to dislike before he even got to the NBA).....I guess that makes me legit and not a "bandwagon" guy? :dunno: Like I said, from what I could see, he was a douche LONG before "the decision" :2 cents:

Fuck no! Kobe Bryant is the single best basketball player in the world right now, and this is coming from a guy who dislikes the Lakers. Yeah Lebron might be on the top 10, but I'd rank him like 7 or 8. Even Dwayne Wade > Lebron, and he isn't, nor will he ever be, greater than Jordan.

Case and point, when people shoot condoms or basically anything else into wastebaskets, they yell "Kobe!!" If anyone watched Chapelle's show, you know that

Normally I would put Kobe ahead of Wade too, but I was very disappointed in his play last year. Based on last year, especially when they played head-to-head, I find it very heard to put Kobe ahead of Wade. Kobe just isn't the same player he was a couple years ago.

Damn. Blake Griffin already a top 10 player?? The list is pretty solid otherwise, although, I'd make some slight changes.

Yeah, I agree too. How the hell is Blake ahead of Amare Stoudemire?

Boomer Sooner, God bless his soul... but damn!?
