There is a heated debate between NBA fans about the best player of all time.
Michael Jordan and LeBron James are often discussed as the top two, leading to arguments among fans.
When fans outline their top-five players, there is typically more wiggle room depending on where the argument is headed.
However, in a recent conversation with the Heir Company via Clutch Points, Anthony Edwards’ top five list had a major snub.

Not having James on this list seems like a crime, especially since he’s the all-time leading scorer.
Edwards’ list includes Jordan, Allen Iverson, Kevin Durant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant.
James is the NBA’s leader in career points, and many believe his career is untouchable.
He and Durant are the only active players on this list and are both nearing the end of their careers.
At the end of the day, opinions are opinions, and this topic will continue to be debated.
It’s impossible to determine the best player of all time, given the amount of nuance that goes into this decision.
Factors such as competition, the era of basketball, and nutrition are all taken into account.
Bryant, James, and Jordan are widely viewed as three of the best basketball players in history.
While Edwards’ list doesn’t necessarily include James, it’s certainly a personal decision.
Edwards is a budding star in the NBA and has quickly made a name for himself in the league.
Will he receive any backlash for not including James in this list?
