Top 10 Best NBA Players Right Now

#1 LeBron James

Toronto Raptors v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Three

LeBron has had this throne, in my mind, for nearly 7 years now. The amazing thing about this once-in-a-lifetime player is that he was already too good for the league back then, but he comes back from every offseason now with some other skill added to his already Swiss Knife-like offensive skillset. These tools should stand him in good stead once Father Time finally catches up with him.

For now, there is still a sliver of a separation between him and the rest of the field, though his slack attitude on defense ensures that this separation has decreased considerably in the last 2 years. James has already lost a couple of inches on his vertical and no longer poses the same shot-blocking threat as he did during the Cavs' championship run in 2015-16.

Nevertheless, there is literally no sight in basketball more terrifying for fans of a team than to see LeBron James driving downhill, attacking the rim. Soon to emerge at the Staples Center in the fabled purple and gold, LeBron has taken over the Lakers franchise for 4 years now and is bound to turn its fortunes on the field around.
