The Top Ten
1 Tim Duncan Timothy Theodore "Tim" Duncan is an American professional basketball player who has played his entire career for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association.

3 LeBron James LeBron Raymone James is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. LeBron has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and the Lakers.

King James is one of the best all around talents in the game. He has MH scoring ability, Magic's ability of passing, Larry Bird's clutches and has the strength of Shaq. And his stat line for the decade was 27 points, 7 assist, and 7 rebounds. One word... Impressive.

He's the most athletic player to play the game. And he's still just getting started!
