Going into next season, who is the top ranked NBA player?

[Muser]

LeBron. Top ranked player in the clutch is a different outcome though.

That wouldn't be Kobe either, tbh.

[IronMexican]

Andrew Bynum is the only answer. Player of the year every year.

Top ranked winner in the NBA is Kobe. The game is played to win, not for stats.

Kobe fans weren't saying that when we were saying Duncan and Lebron were the best in 2007..the criteria all changed once Kobe started winning again..

[Ghazi]

If there was a debate it would be Wade v Lebron, not Kobe v Lebron.

Also, Durant is not better than Kobe yet. I don't like the fact that a wing player averages more turnovers than assists..

[Ghazi]

Remember, after the refs gifted the Heat a le in '06 a poll on ESPN had more people thinking Whistle was the best player in the world than any other player.

It's amazing sometimes how refs, luck, and supporting casts can influence the perception of a player, or his legacy, etc.

luck

Testify, Ghazi, testify. That late inbounds on the sideline that went off Kobe, hit Rondo, bounced on the sideline stripe and out of bounds.

[Andrew Bynum]

Lebron, it's quite obvious by now..

Lakers will win the le again though.

6-24

What's your point? Jordan shot 26% in the deciding game of the 1996 finals. It happens to everyone.

[Cleveland Steamer]

uh, i think it's Lebron.

[Mr Bones]

Lebron by far. If Kobe's best teammates were named Anderson and Mo instead of Pau and Ron, he would've been knocked out in the first round, if he made the playoffs at all.
