Of All Time?  His Airness.  Michael Jordan elevated his play to a level no one at the time could attain.\n\nNowadays, however, there are a select few.\n\nI'd have to go with Tim Duncan.  He does it all, night in and night out!

Michael Jordan for sure. He has the ability to carry a team and he was a much better defensive player than Kobe. Before we start any talk of greatness with Kobe, he has to cement his status as a premiere player in the NBA by winning at least one league MVP award.

Well, it has to be Michael Jordan.  Six championships, numerous MVP awards, and he made all of his teammates on the Bulls better.  However, LeBron James is probably going to replace MJ as the best ever some day.  At 21 he is almost as good as Jordan was in his prime.  We are all witnesses ...

Shaquille Oneal and Dewayne Wade are the strongest and the best in the NBA. Plus I love Dewayne Wade. In almost every game Oneal and Wade came through to the very end scoring and blocking. These two together are the best!

Allen Iverson is The Answer

No question...Steve Nash.  He raises the level of play of all the players on his team and is himself a consistent offensive threat.  He does what a point guard is supposed to do and does it better than anyone.  Jason Kidd is a good contender for this title, as are Chauncey Billups and Sam Cassell.  Jason Terry is an excellent player, but somewhat out of place at point guard.  He's actually a very good 2-guard.

First pick Lebron, the best there is and strong for the playground.  Then Ben Wallace causr our the block you want him on your side, then Kobe cause dude can ball and to top it off give me Allen Iverson, heart of a lion which helps on the street.

Well, right now LeBron James is the best in the NBA. But, the best player ever is the one and only MJ. But I wouldn't be surprised to see LBJ pass Jordan up.\n\nI LOVE BASKETBALL TOO!

The most skilled player in the history of the NBA has to be Michael Jordan.  However the most dominant I would have to say would be the Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal.  During his prime all you had to do was throw him the ball and there was no stopping it.  He changed the way the NBA looked at the big man and generally when you talk about domination you talk about big men.  If only he learned how to shoot a free throw....

It really is not much of a competiton the answer is Kobe Bryant.  He has a great jumpshot, can drive the lane and plays great D.  And when he wants to he can pass.  And he is probably the most clutch player in the NBA.\n\nWade might get to that level someday but he has to become better at not turning over the ball and his jumpshot is suspect.  His defense is starting to take shape.\n\nJames does not have the outside all-around game Kobe has yet, or the lock down defensive capabilities but he is the second best and will probably surpass Bryant in a few years.\n\nDirk is not strong enough to dominate his position.  Nash can't play D and he can be a very sloppy player.\n\nAnthony is not even in the top ten.  So my list is:\n\n1.  Bryant\n2. James\n3. Wade\n4. Iverson\n5. Nowitzki\n6. Nash\n7. Tim Duncan\n8. Shaq\n9. Garnett\n10. Arenas\n11. Anthony

I would go with Allen Iverson, because he is currently the leading scorer, and he also steals the ball away many times. He is an excellent defender who only lacks in the rebounding department, but his scoring more than makes up for. He is an overall consistent player on both sides on the ball, and he is always the man you can trust to score in clutch situations.

Gilbert Arenas, no doubt. He the #4 leading scorer in the NBA. He also averages 6 assits a game and 4 rebounds. That is pretty good. He does have some turnover problems, but he makes those up in the steals he gets. Also he never has problems with anybody else. He is probably the nicest guy in the NBA. All fans love him.

At this point, Kobe Bryant is the best player for me because he plays in a completely different level compared to other players, but I believe LeBron's gonna be better than him in the future. He's still young but look at what he can do already.
