#1 LeBron James - 98
Still at the peak of his game, King James has now been the best basketball player on the planet for the entirety of this decade. Averaging 34 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists through 22 playoff games this summer, he put on a display that prompted Steve Kerr to remark: "I'm not sure we've ever seen a player do things like he's doing this playoff run."
James is the most-hyped player ever to enter the league from high school, and he's lived up to the billing like nobody else. He's still faster than your team's point guard, stronger than your team's center and more durable and skilled than your favourite swingmen. Possibly the most versatile player in basketball history, he is statistically as good as the greatest to ever step on the hardwood and as such, is indisputably a top-5 player of all time.
