In this article, we're going to break down the 5 great athletes in NBA history that I think once again.
Fifth place: Wizard Johnson.
Johnson is the best playmaker the NBA has ever seen, and despite his short time in the NBA, his passing and handling skills have earned the Lakers a lot of glory. Johnson was drafted into the NBA by the Lakers in 1979 and spent his entire career with the Lakers, winning the NBA championship five times, in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988. At the age of 20 years and 276 points, he was the youngest basketball player in NBA history.

However, in this article, the magician is only ranked 5th. In addition to his impressive performances on the field, he has also had a commendable career, with some other star players surpassing them in terms of individual achievements and influence.
Fourth place: Kobe Bryant.
Even though Bryant was only ranked fourth, that didn't change his position in the league, and Bryant's perseverance and hard work led to a great career and a career after retirement. Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant left this world prematurely, which is not sad. Many fans of Kobe Bryant know Kobe's deeds, five NBA championships, one NBA MVP, two NBA Finals MVPs, four All-Star MVPs, two NBA regular season scoring champions, a total of 18 career selections to the NBA All-Star team, 15 times to the NBA All-Star team, 12 times to the NBA's strongest defensive team, both offensive and defensive, Kobe Bryant was selected to the All-Star team, 15 times to be an All-Star, 12 times to the NBA "All-Star" lineup, can be described as both offensive and defensive. Kobe Bryant's team is very good both offensively and defensively, and through his hard work and talent, he is already one of the best in the league and the greatest star of all time for the Lakers. However, in this article, Kobe Bryant is ranked No. 4.
Tim Duncan was third.
Tim Duncan has suppressed Kobe Bryant to a certain extent, because Duncan is known as the best power forward in NBA history, Duncan has single-handedly turned the Spurs into a weak situation, and has been competing for the NBA championship for more than ten consecutive years"Stone Buddha"The stable performance is also very commendable. Duncan was the NBA's "Best Rookie" in his peak debut at the NBA Draft in 1997, and in the following ten years, he won the NBA's MVP for five consecutive years, three NBA MVPs, 15 NBA All-NBA All-Defensive Eleven, 15 NBA All-Defensive Eleven (the first in NBA history), and 15 NBA All-Star teams. Duncan is the Spurs' best player ever because of his outstanding play on and off the court. That's why Duncan is number 3 on the latest rankings.
LeBron James, No. 2.
LeBron James is the NBA's all-time leading scorer, and his unmatched talent, physicality, and skill set him to be one of the best in the NBA. James can make the most of his physicality and scoring advantage to be the team's main point of attack. Defensively, he's a top-notch all-round fighter with a deep understanding of the game and excellent sideways. James stands out in the NBA because of his ability to lead and his mental quality to win. James won four championships in the first round of the 2003 draft, four NBA MVPs and four FMVPs in 2012, 2013, 2016, and 2020.
James has been in the NBA for a long time, James has conquered the entire NBA, and the teams he coached have also won championships. After winning his NBA career for the highest scoring award, James' next plan is to become the first superstar in history to score 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists. 10,000 rebounds, 10,000 assists. However, in this article, James is ranked 2nd. In addition to his amazing talent and achievements, another athlete is also known for his personal achievements and impact.
Number one: Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan,"The god of basketball", is the best NBA player of all time. His arrival not only made the NBA more popular around the world, but also contributed to the development of the NBA. Jordan has an amazing scoring talent and superb ball skills that make him unbeatable in the game. He has an unrivalled ability in both attack and defense.
