    Yes, LeBron's top 10, He's been better than Kobe for the past 7 years, plus MVPs hold much more value than an NBA championship. Right now, he has 2 rings (for the morons that insist on putting too much value on championships to assess a basketball player)

    He's a - 4 MVPs

    2 Finals MVP

    NBA Rookie of the Year Award

    2 Time NBA All-Star Game

    9 Time All NBA Team

    career slash line of 27.6 PPG/ 7.3 RPG/ 6.9 APG

    49% FG/ 33.7% 3pt FG/ 74.7% FT

    Jordan (1992) & LeBron (2012) are the only players to win NBA title, NBA MVP & gold medal in same year

    My Top 10 Players of All Time in no order

    MJ

    Russell

    Magic

    Bird

    Kareem

    Kobe

    Duncan

    Shaq

    Lebron

    Wilt

    I know this may sound crazy but at only 28 years of age I do believe he is already in the top 10. Just look at what he has already accomplished 2 rings, 2 Finals MVP, 2 Gold Medals, 4 league MVP`s, Scoring Champ, and Rookie of the Year. And what is crazy is that for the next 3 years I can see Lebron getting better as a overall player. Here is my top 10 right now:

    1. MJ 2. Kareem 3. Magic 4. Bill 5. Wilt 6. LeBron 7. Kobe 8. Bird 9. Duncan 10. Shaq

    I don't understand why people put Kobe over Shaq.

    To me that's like putting Wade over LeBron, because Wade has 3 championships (even though LeBron was the best player for two of the three).

    I'd probably put Tim Duncan and his resume in the top 10. LeBron is probably a top 10 talent, but his overall career numbers are still not their...He's not even top 25 scoring yet etc..

    I would say LeBron is going to be at least in the top 5 after his career is over. If he wins more then 5 MVP's and ties MJ for 6 titles...I think the debate will be a toss up whether Jordan is better or LeBron. I still pick MJ over LeBron any day and I think at most LeBron will have 4 titles, max 5.

    pretty good list. but to say kobe (1 mvp and 2 finals mvps) should be there over lebron (4 mvps 2 finals mvps) is ludicrous. i think he's a already a top ten player.
