Sleepyspur i know u r a spurs/ duncan fan, duncan is a great player but not the best player in nba he is certainly the best powerforward in the game, no doubt abt it. Knightcrawler i know ur a big time kobe fan, n i would say he is amazing but cant be considered the best player cause to be the best player u need to have a balance in every aspect of the game, i personally like 4-5 players but in my view i dont think we can name one player as the best nba player.
