who is the best basketball player now?

There are a lot of great basketball players all over the world, but for me, LeBron James is probably the best. He's such a powerful player when he drives to the basket and he plays defense in the passing lanes so well. His "Achilles heal" is his poor jump-shot when he's guarded around the three-point line.

Of course, this discussion is kind of moot. A more pertinent discussion would be "what is the best team right now?"
 
I would probably say LeBron right now. He has improved a lot this year and probably now it's him. But if I am in the NBA playoffs or a FIBA elimination game I will still pick Kobe every time. Also I hate how LeBron is allowed to travel every time practically he touches the ball and thanks to Stern they even allowed it in the Olympics.

Also, Nash should be up there. I have no idea why he is not considered for the best player. To me he's still better than Wade even. One thing I totally agree with others here is though is that LeBron is a complete jackass.

Kobe is clearly an egomaniac and a jerk, and likely also even a rapist, and yet he even has a much better personality than LeBron. LeBron is the single biggest punk and moron I've ever seen in the NBA and that's really saying something. If LeBron tried his antics in a Euroleague away arena I seriously doubt if he would come out alive.

I actually can say LeBron seems to be an even bigger douche bag than Garnett is.

His supposed defensive liabilities mostly, though I think he's not as bad as some people think. Really he's like Tim Duncan was a few years ago, criminally taken for granted.

Another classic discussion who is better Kobe or LeTravel. Well lets see:
  • Kobe has 4 champion rings, Lebron has shit.
  • Kobe act like normal person, LeBron act like stupid monkey and suck his fingers, he also talk like 70IQ braindamaged dude, and all people around pretend it is funny and laughs.
  • Kobe don't talk about himself so often, and LeBron talk about how he grow in poor environment and how he THE SUPER HERO raise FROM THE POOR DRUG STREETS!!!
  • Kobe is selfish, LeBron is selfish too.
  • Kobe travels sometimes, LeTravel travels often.

this is the dumbest thing i have ever red. LeBron selfish ? You must be smoking crack or have never seen him playing. There were months when he averaged 10 assists per game. LeBron have never rapped a woman, unlike Kobe. I don't understand why the fuck you are talking about the rings. Kobe didn't win NBA ring in his first year. It took him four years to win it. Jordan spent 6 years before he won NBA ring. And who the fuck cares how an NBA player talks. They are supposed to play basketball, not to talk. And all the basketball experts agree that LeBron has some of the highest basketball IQ in NBA. Shame on you!

There must be some cultural aspect going on here because there are a number of non-American posters talking about the "antics" of LeBron and I have no idea what they are talking about. "The single biggest punk and moron" is pretty strong, certainly not fitting what I've ever seen. If LeBron is bad, I have to think these people weren't watching the NBA in the 80s and 90s. Bill Laimbeer, Charles Oakley, Dennis Rodman and Anthony Mason might want a word with you.
 
It's Lebron and no one else is even close...I've never seen a perimeter guy make the game look so easy for himself - dude is coasting through regular season without even trying much, and his numbers are still historic. Kevin Durant is the second best, and Wade is the third
 
There's no doubt about Lebron being the n°1 right now and surely for a few years (maybe more).
The fact I never really liked one man teams can't change anything to that !

Agree. The problem is that many people have bought into thinking that Jordan is the canon every perimeter bbll player should be measured by, and the closer your game is to him the better you are. LeBron is not "the new Jordan", he never was suposed to be, his game is much closer to that of Magic, Bird or BigO.
LeBron is the one destined to bring back the good old game that Jordan destroyed with his egotistic personality, the time is coming and you are all witnesses. You should feel blessed.
 
Lebron James, its not even close.
Kobe bryant is most overrated player in history of nba.The guy is just like iverson, all about shooting and shooting and shooting with terrible percentages.

Lebron is far more complete player. Rebounds, More, assists more, steals more, blocks more, score mores.. and is even far efficient then kobe in scoring who takes like 30 shots to score some 30.
