The NBA
player rankings seem to be in full fervor these days. The documentary
"The Last Dance" gives everyone a new perspective on the basketball
of the 90s, under almost every social media post, everyone lists the best
players according to him.
Broadcasting in the USA, ESPN recently published
its own list of the top 75 players in history, and it didn't take long for them
to show the top 10 players.
Here are the top 10 players in NBA history,
according to ESPN:
1.
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL: The Hall of Fame pivot

physics. Four times NBA champion and three times the Finals MVP award,

KOBE BRYANT: In addition to all his

3.
TIM DUNCAN: The only negative comment
about Duncan was that his game was boring. Duncan, known as "The Big
Fundamental", has dominated both sides of the game for almost 20 years
with the simplicity of a textbook, a mid-range shoot and a perfect position
defense.

LEBRON JAMES: 2.03m tall, weighing 113kg
and jumping about 1 meter, James's game is based on power, but his most
prominent skill is known as his paster. LeBron, who was MVP four times in

athlete's most productive period would be, even in his 17th year, showing MVP
performance.

10.
MICHAEL JORDAN: The greatest player of all
time. Jordan won the kingdom in 10 of the 15 seasons, in which he won six
championships, five regular season MVPs, six Finals MVPs, 9 times elected to
defensive five, playing the game two-sided enough to win the prize of the Year
in a season in which he was chosen as the number king, unique was an actor. Despite
the defenses of any form, Jordan has become a cultural icon both on and off the
field, thanks to his unmatched athleticism and unmatched mental power that
allows him to shoot comfortably from almost anywhere in the field at critical
moments.
