#1. LeBron James: Los Angeles Lakers: #1 Small Forwards
04 Oct
2019

Pre-2019-20 Rank: #1, Pre-2020-21 Rank: #1, Pre-2021-22 Rank: #1, Pre-2022-23 Rank: #1, 2023-24 Pre-Season Rank: #1.

*Positional Notes: James has started in all five positions and usually has more of a PF role now, but he logged more minutes as a Small Forward.

*Peak Period: 2007-08 to 2013-14.

When you enter the NBA Draft as the most hyped sure thing of all time, the level of expectations could topple any man, but it can’t top a King.

LeBron James met every expectation, and the four-time NBA Champion is still an All-Star caliber player.  Now the all-time leader in Points, James orchestrated one more feather in his cap for 2024-25, playing with his son Bronny.

James, who also holds the record for All-Star Games (20), should add a 21st this year. Despite his age (40), he is holding off Father Time better than any athlete not named Tom Brady. The megastar was already a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee ten years ago, and at this stage, he is cementing his place on the Mount Rushmore of basketball.
