Welcome back to my blog everyone!!! If you are reading this you are in for a treat because this week’s blog we are going to give a breakdown of the top 5 best players of all time.
In my option, Shaq is the 5 best player in NBA history. He is a 4 time champ, 3 time finals MVP, a one time MVP, rookie of the year, 15 time all star, 8 all NBA first team nominations, and 2 second team nominations. Another thing that makes him a top 5 player of all time is his dominance. He was a 7 foot 1 324 pound Goliath that scored over 28,956 points, 13,099 rebounds and 2 732 blocks. He was just an all around beast.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar in my opinion, is the 4th best player of all time. He has the most points of all time, he is an 8 time NBA champion, 6 time MVP, a 2 time finals MVP, 19 time all star, 10 time All-NBA First Team, 5 time All-NBA Second Team, 5 time NBA All-Defensive First Team, 6 time NBA All-Defensive Second Team, NBA Rookie of the Year, NBA All-Rookie First Team, 2 time NBA scoring champion, NBA rebounding champion and a 4 time NBA blocks leader. Do I need to say anything else?
Michael Jordan hands down is the 3 greatest player of all time. He could score whenever he wanted and however he would want. He was unguardable. Another thing that also makes him one of the best players of all time is his defense. Along with scoring 32,292 points, he also averaged 2.3 steals throughout his whole career. He was a 9 time all Nba defensive time. He even won a defensive player of the year in 1987-1988. He was a one of a kind player who was dominant on both sides of the court. That’s what made him so legendary. Along with also being the best 2 way player in Nba history, he is arguably the clutchest player in Nba history. He has hit so many game winners in his career, including the game winning mid range jumper that secured his 6th championship. There will never be a player like Michael Jordan ever again.
A lot of people think that LeBron James is the best player of all time, but I don’t agree with them. LeBron James is the second best player in Nba history. LeBron James is one of the most consistent scorers in Nba history. He currently has 33,269 points at the age of 34. That’s very impressive. LeBron James is also an elite defender. He is 15 on the all time steals list with 1,945. He is also has 964 career blocks. Along with being an amazing offensive threat, LeBron James is a talented playmaker. He is 10th on the all time assists list with 8,959. LeBron James has no flaw in his game and he is an all around beast.
When it comes to Wilt Chamberlain, nobody puts him into the decision for the best player of all time, but in reality, he really should. The man has the record for the most points in a game which by the way is 100 POINTS. He was over 7 feet and has a 49 inch vert. He was faster than most point guards. He averaged 30 points, 22 rebounds and 9 blocks. This guy was a human stat machine. He is also a 2 time NBA champion, 4 time MVP, a finals MVP, rookie of the year, 10 time all NBA 1st and 2nd team, and he is a 13 time all star. There will never be a player like him again.
