30, 8, 7 in Year 20



It’s official, the old heads of the NBA heads have welcomed LeBron James as one of their own. The Athletic recently polled 101 former NBA players, asking which current player is the best player in the Association. In a league that has an abundance of under-30-year-old talent that it is bursting out of the sides, the retired players still voted James as the best active NBA player.

Last season The Athletic conducted the same poll, and Kevin Durant was voted No. 1. This time around, he fell to fourth, behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, reigning MVP Nikola Jokić, and James, the all-time regular season scorer.

Only argument against Bron is that other players ate too well in his era but I do think he's the most complete player ever.

Most of these old timers don't watch the games unless the teams dragged them to some team historical ceremony.

Bron retiring will open the floodgates for former players to praise him. It’ll only get worse from here for them
