Lebron has been top ten since 05-19...15 years.

Kareem would probably be close...

Kobe was top 10 from 2001-2013 which is impressive...

2006 to 2018

A work of art

Yeah this is obviously LeBron.


Chris Paul deserves a mention for current players. 08-18.

Also definitely the best player in the league from 2009-13. With great arguments for 14, 16, 17 and 18.

LeBron’s longevity is absurd. It’s sad he’s really declining now tho :cry:

I figured Kareem honestly.

I've always ranked MJ and Kareem and 1/2 best all time. Lebronze is probably 3rd best.

kareem is borderline top 5 honestly all those years maybe. Top 10 isnt really even a question even in 86.

Lebron wasn't top 10 this year, so it's 05-18.

Well he was the best forward in the L so who are the other 10 guys above him?

How was Lebron the best forward in the league?

He only played 55 games and missed the Playoffs.

So Kobe wasn't top 10 in 2005 too then right?

You can't make a serious case for 10 players over Kobe in 05, we all know why he was voted 3rd team that year. Allen was nowhere near Kobe's level that year and he somehow got voted to the 2nd team.

As far as 2019 goes, you could legitimately say that Lebron was not a top 10 player in the league.

That's 8 I wouldn't even agree with, but I could at least see some rationale argument for. Anyone else, you're full of shit.

Lebron was easily top 10 this year, even including him missing a 1/3 of the season.

I mean, Kawhi only played 5 more games than Bron this season...and the Raptors went 17-5 without him so clearly they didn't miss him much.

There were only 4 guys in the regular season this year that I would take over Bron and that would be Curry/KD/Harden/Giannis...

Irving, Towns, Davis?

We're talking regular season here since James didn't make the Playoffs. Towns and Davis had better statistical seasons on non-Playoff teams, Kyrie was definitely better than Lebron in the 2nd half of the season.

Kyrie has never been better than Bron, same with Towns.

AD is amazing and a top 10 player for sure.
