Dr. J’s Top 10 NBA Players Ever: A List LeBron Fans Won’t Like.
Who is the Greatest Player in NBA History? Dr. J’s Controversial List
When it comes to the greatest player in NBA history, the debate usually centers around Michael Jordan and LeBron James. These two superstars have consistently separated themselves from their peers, with Jordan known for his winning mentality and James for his impressive stats and scoring record.
It’s no surprise that most basketball fans’ top five players of all time include Jordan and James. Many even consider them to be the top two players in NBA history. However, one legendary player, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, has a different opinion.
In a recent interview with NBA content creator Joy De’Angela, Erving revealed his list of the top 10 players in NBA history. And to the surprise of many, neither Jordan nor James made the cut.
Dr. J’s Top 10 NBA Players of All Time:
- Michael Jordan
- Bill Russell
- Magic Johnson
- Karl Malone
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Elgin Baylor
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
- Jerry West
- Oscar Robertson
- Nate Archibald
Notable exclusions from Erving’s list include LeBron James, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Stephen Curry, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant.
Unsurprisingly, Erving’s list sparked outrage and criticism online. Many argued that his choices were influenced by nostalgia and that former players should not be taken seriously in these discussions.
However, it’s important to recognize Erving’s impact on the game. As one of the NBA’s pioneering legends, he helped shape the style of play that players like Jordan and James have emulated. His inclusion of players like Russell, Chamberlain, and Abdul-Jabbar reflects his appreciation for the history and fundamentals of the game.
While the debate over the greatest player in NBA history will continue, Dr. J’s list offers a unique perspective that challenges the popular consensus. Whether you agree with his choices or not, it’s clear that Erving’s influence on the game cannot be overlooked.
