The NBA is filled with marvelous and superb players. They are the best in the world when it comes to playing basketball. Their talent level is uncanny and no other league could provide so much entertainment and competition like the NBA. Their athletic abilities are second to none and their love for the game is unparalleled. Like other sports, there are also several players that would excel even in the tightest competitions. Here are some of the top present players in the NBA. • Lebron James. Speed, superb athletic abilities and great knowledge of the game, what more should it take to be the best player in the world? Lebron has all the potential to be the best player and he also has the time to surpass and break records that were made in the sport of basketball. He is likely to become the best player to have ever played because of his wicked skills at the tender age of 24. He is 6 foot 8 inches and weighs around 250 pounds which is uncommon in several basketball leagues. His unique combination of size, speed, power and intelligence is what makes him dangerous. This player hasn't reached his prime and he is already the likely MVP of the season and his team is at the top of the rankings as of now. He is the present and future of the NBA if he wouldn't have any serious injuries. • Kobe Bryant. Currently, he is considered to be the best basketball player on the planet but some would attest to that due to the emergence of Lebron and DWade. Of all the top players in the league, he has the most NBA rings and championships under his belt. His comparison with Michael Jordan is never ending for they both possess several qualities and movements that other players couldn't imitate. Michael Jordan might be the better player but Kobe is definitely the best offensive player to have ever played the game. Scoring 81 points in a single game is no joke which makes him as one of the best players to have ever played. • Dwayne Wade. This player might have suffered several injuries in the past which have slowed him down in the past 2 years; however, his current resurrection made him one of the best players in the league. He is currently the leading scorer in the league and has taken the league with his acrobatic movement and shots. Defensively, he is also efficient; he is the only active player to have an average of one block per game with a height of less than 6 foot 4 inches. The only factor that would separate him from Kobe and Lebron is his current team record; however, he was very instrumental during the Olympics as he led the US basketball team to scoring during those times. • Dwight Howard. No one has the most dominating inside presence like this player has in this era. He has the size and athletic ability that could dominate the other Centers in the league. His presence in the paint would create troubles for several teams; he is strong on the post and he would also create blocks and disruptions on the defensive end. • Chris Paul. This player is the best point guard in the league. His intelligence in the court is unparalleled which is very important for point guards. Even seasoned point guards like Jason Kidd and Steve Nash couldn't match his intelligence and knack for winning. |
