Top 5 Greatest NBA Players?

[Hungry Rabbit]

#1: Wilt Chamberlain.
#2: Michael Jordan.
#3: LeBron James.
#4: Oscar Robertson
#5: Toss up between Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson.

Honestly you could argue that LeBron is better than MJ if you wanted to. But the only reason I put LeBron ahead of Oscar Robertson is because he's bigger than Oscar and could lock down more defenders.

Who do y'all got?

If we're talking just pure skills and dominance at their peak, in no order:

Jordan - Aside from explosiveness and skills, has a different level of quickness and quick-thinking in traffic. That translates to any era.
Curry - 2016 season was a different kind of level of offense - made everybody on that team better and was unstoppable sinking jump shot 3's nearly at halfcourt.
Kobe - 2005 season scoring streaks were incredible. Close to the same attributes Jordan has, although less explosive but has much deeper range
KD - If this year was the "best version of Lebron" then what KD is doing to him right now speaks for itself.
Lebron - Terrific passer, tough to stop him when he's at near full stride.
