2x NBA Champion, 2x NBA Finals MVP, 4x NBA MVP, 10x All-Star, 8x All-NBA First Team, 2x All-NBA Second Team, 5x NBA All-Defensive Team, 1x NBA All-Defensive Second Team, 1x NBA Scoring Title, NBA Rookie of the Year

Advanced Stats: Career Win Shares 171.1, Career VORP 91.6, WS/48 .242, TS% 58.1

To put it in simple terms LeBron is the best player on the planet, has been since 2007-08; no other player on this list has held the Championship Belt for as long.

James has four MVP awards (should be five) and led the Miami Heat to four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, winning two titles and the corresponding Finals MVP’s. LeBron can do anything on a basketball court and I mean that literally, he is the most complete player we have ever seen.

Nobody of his size has ever had his combination of skills, athleticism and basketball IQ.James has the three of the top 25 seasons all-time according to Win Shares and three of the best of the best seven seasons of players on this list, not to mention the best overall season since Jordan retired.

A unique physical specimen and the only other player likely to add significantly to his resume. The King already sits in 15th place in Career Win Shares after only 11 years.A few more good years and he might even pass this next guy.
