    Exclamation Has Any Player in NBA history been the best player for as many years as LeBron?

    Since he entered the league:

    04: Garnett
    05: Duncan
    06: LeBron/Kobe
    07: LeBron/Kobe
    08: LeBron/Kobe
    09: LeBron
    10: LeBron
    11: LeBron
    12: LeBron
    13: LeBron
    14: LeBron
    15: LeBron
    16: LeBron

    That's 8 straight years where he's been the clear best and then 3 pre-prime years more when he was only slightly better than prime Kobe...those are somewhat debatable.

    Simply LeGendary.

    It's debatable.

    Most people will give Shaq: 99 00 01 02, Duncan 03, KG 04, Duncan 05, 06-08 is debatable between LeBron and Kobe and then 09-present is a sweep for LeKing.

    So That's 7-10 for Shaq/Kobe/KG/Duncan vs 8-11 for the King.

    Definitely not in '06 or '07...

    Still, only Kareem, and there wasn't a single other top 20 player ever during the 70's.

    Who was the best in '06? You can't really say it was Kobe while saying "definitely not" for LeBron. LeBron had better numbers and carried an equally bad team to a similar result. I suppose Wade would make sense if you're valuing playoffs highly.



    But the point still stands. Minimum 8, Maximum 11.

    Wade would probably go ahead of Bron, but I'd easily take Dirk.. perhaps Kobe too.

    And in '07 I'd take all those but maybe also Nash and Duncan.

    In 07:

    Wade - injured
    Kobe - maybe
    Dirk - warriors but still maybe/probably yes
    Nash - No

    Wilt played 3 years in the 70's, West 4.. at the back end of their careers

    Moses is right, Havlicek and Erving aren't top 20.

    the straight forward answer would be kobe. since overtaking shaq in 01, he held the reigns up until 11 when dirk assumed the title as best. after dirk it was lebron's time to shine

    So basically either you're completely trolling OR human beings would benefit from your rapid departure from sucking up resources.
