  1. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

The alpha male. LeBron James has ruled the basketball world for the last 10 years and it’s crazy to think he may just be entering his prime. No one, in any sport has been as durable and as consistently great as LeBron.

Last season, he set his career high for rebounds (8.6) and assists (8.7) per game at the age of 32. He shot nearly 55 percent from the field to go along with 36 percent from beyond the arc. His last five games of the 2017 season happened to be the best five statistical games LeBron has ever played in his legendary career (33.6 ppg, 12 rpg, 10 apg on 56 percent shooting).

Oh yeah, and that was against the greatest team to ever be assembled in history during the NBA Finals.

The fact of the matter is, no one knows what LeBron’s future has in store. LeBron himself might not even know what his next step is. In 2018, he will be in his last year of his contract as a Cleveland Cavalier. With the super-duper team out West, LeBron has a major mountain to climb in order to add to his legacy with championship rings. Whether you like him or not, everyone can admit that they are witnessing greatness.
