Is LeBron James the best player the NBA will ever see?

I grew up on Magic. He was the best at running the floor. Nash is pretty good but Magic was Magic!!

The same thing could be said about you being too young if you dont at least include Magic and Dr. J in that same sentence.
Because of generation differences there is no one 'best' player ever.

I agree but at the same time I think Jordan is an exception i mean he played in three different decades with players you still see on the court today, and was still able to show he can dominant.

1980 Finals Game 6. Arguably the best performance ever by any player and he was a rookie.

No love for KG winning the MVP this year?

I think he will win it hands down.

i dont know if anyone mentioned it but lets get one thing straight, NO ONE WILL EVER BE MICHAEL JORDAN EVER they just wont. jordan did things people cant even imagine, he was good at everything and will no doubt be the greatest player of all time.

with that being said if you go strictly by stats if lebron stays healthy he will undoubtedly break most records. i mean physically hes a freak of nature and will only get better.

to answer people saying hes a crybaby for wanting help thats just stupid. i mean even jordan was at his best when he had help.

at 23 you really cant ask if hes the best ever. hes still got like 15 years to play. i just hope he stays in cleveland!

KG is a great player, but have you seen what kobe has done this year especially with the team he has, i gotta give it to him.

again though when you have the team magic had it is easy to run the floor. lebron put up his numbers when he was playing with a bunch of no name guys.... not saying lebron is better than magic or vice versa im just saying 2 different scenarios.

Kobe is lights out for sure but i dont see the celtics 48-12 with out KG.

Same with Jordan and Magic. Magic played all 5 positions on the floor. Yes he had help, but seriously go to youtube and watch the game I mentioned earier and tell me Jordan could have done that. There is no way you can say Jordan is hands down the greatest player ever. Yes he was great, yes he is in the top 5 probably but ease up on the no doubt best ever.

Would the Lakers make the playoffs without Kobe? No. Would the Celtics without KG. Yes.

its just very hard to argue sports of different decades. no i dont think alot of players that were great in the 50's - 90's would be as great if they were playing today. athletes in general have just gotten alot better since then

Numbers only mean so much. It is about W and L's and Rings. It is also about elevating guys on the floor with you.

I have to get off here before i start debates on the best QB ever or the best hitter in the MLB. Or the best middle weight champion ever. LOL

All great players but MJ was GREATNESS! and i lived in Chicago 27 years and got to see it all!!
