Best Basketball Players of 2012

The Top Ten
1 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.

I was reluctant to believe that this man had what it took to win a championship after seeing him lose to the Mavericks this past post season. When I see him play now, I see hunger in his eyes. He is the reason The Heat are the Power house they are now. Both Defensively and Offensively creating not only his own shots but shot for his teammates as well. Bron is getting his ring. Whether it be Durant or Bryant they will not want to see this guy in the Finals.

Lebron james destroys everybody he is un-guardable plus he won the championship and he wants to get better he is so not like dirk nowitski, dirk won the championship last year and look at him now he sucks lebron is actually getting even better it's crazy as hell!

He is so awesome. He slam dunks it so well he has won mvp 6 times and has won finals mvp 2 times I think he is a heat all star he is from the miami heat and he won 2012 Mvp, finals Mvp, and won the nba championship. He is the best basketball player in the world definitely

In two years it will be lebron and bird for best small forward ever. 10 years and he will be in that ongoingconversation of Jordan vs Magic vs Kareem vs Lebron. He is amazing and is one of few who can do anything on the court- add on whenever and however he feels.

2 Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant (1978 - 2020) was an American retired professional basketball player. He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Kobe Bryant has won 5 NBA championships with the Lakers and was the all-time leading scorer in Lakers franchise history. ...read more.

Kobe is not better than durant; don't get me wrong, I think kobe is still the 2nd best player of all time, but he is not better than kevin durant of 2012. Also, kevin durant will be better than lebron james in a year, I guarantee it. Don't you think he has proved himself. He is the best overall player in the nba right now. He can score, rebound, steal, pass pretty well, has good hustle, and can guard well.

Kobe is the best player in the world as of right now and will be for the next couple of years. Kobe has done so much in his career that I don't think anyone will be able to accomplish. At his age he is still balling up lebron and durant and everyone else who is mentioned. I will take kobe first on my team then anybody else. Kobe is just a beast who is unstoppable

I can't believe you have lebron as first and kobe as second that's not true at all Kobe bryant did way better in the NBA then lebron Kobe a God compare to lebron he desevers first place you need to change that now kobe is a great player lead his team right lebron a ball hug

Lebron, I can't stand him. He makes me very frustrated. Kobe is better than him, no doubt. Kobe news the game like no other basketball player. Kobe is the next heir to the throne of king of basketball after MJ,.

3 Dwyane Wade Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association.

One of the most un-orthodox players in the nba he is so good at everything speed passes very good lebron and wade one of the best duo's in the nba

He is the best player for me. I like to watch him play and he's the best for me. Even though he isn't the number one, he is "THE FLASH" :))

Dwyane wade is the best basketball player on earth even do he didn't accomplish his goals but he got it done d-wade is better than lebron james and kobe and mj

Amazing player. D-wade is great!

4 Carmelo Anthony Carmelo Kyam Anthony is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association.

Because for yall that don't know he's the best basketball player ever bra and this dude represents knicks this was a poor topten list he should be 1 instead of that dude lebron he betrayed his team cleveland he should be ashamed

Carmelo The Best Way Better Than Rose Rose Is Garbage Compaerd To Carmelo Anthony Carmelo should at least be top 5 he's awesome

Carmelo is the best all around player he can create his own shot and is a good defender

Come on ma man Melo is not "a player" is "THE PLAYER". And he is far way better than D. Rose or K. Love

5 Derrick Rose Derrick Martell Rose is an American professional basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association.

Derrick Rose is definitely the one of the top players in the NBA. He is recovering right now, but he will be back a better shooter and a better player. He is a really good player and I hope he recovers soon!

He is a very good player even I think he is better than Lebron James. Because some website said he is the most valuable Player in all of NBA especially for his team Chicago Bulls. I LOVE DERRICK ROSE!

Derrick Rose is amazing! I love how he plays with his agility because I think he is fast. I disagree that Derrick Rose is the fourth on these this top ten because I think Derrick Rose should be 1St

Derrick Rose the reining MVP is probably not going to have the same season he had last year on the offensive end but I think he is going to be passing a lot more

6 Kevin Durant Kevin Wayne Durant is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and the Nets. He was MVP of the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals.

Now the main reason that K D is on this list is because he can really score he is the youngest person ever to win back to back scoring titles that's not all he can do he can pass more often than not and he can rebound the great things about Kevin is because he is a great forward he can shoot any were on the court wether it's a dunk inside the paint or just plain out three point shots

KD scored the most points in total for the 3rd time straight his release is one of the best releases in the NBA. He can play defense to and great at offense. He can steal, shoot, pass, block, dunk, and has great hustle.
Is there any thing he can't do?

Kevin Durant is easily better than Kobe Bryant. He is a great shooter and he is working on everything else right now. I think he will win the MVP this year.

KD is the best SF in the NBA should be #1! Because Nobody can stop him from scoring or going to the hole and dunking on anybody in his way of the basket

7 Dwight Howard Dwight David Howard is an American professional basketball player for the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association.

Dwight Howard is a mixture of Hakeem Olajuwon and Bill Russell the reason is is because he can block and rebound but he is a bit more like Bill Russell because he can rebound but can't really shoot Dwight isn't really an offensive player but he makes you for it on the defensive end he was 3 time NBA defensive player of the year and this year he'll probably be four time.

Why do I need an opinion? He's good and he doesn't deserve first, but not last at all, plus you see his 3 points shots?

Dwight howard is the best basketball player and he alwayes going to be it.

Still young but the best

8 Kevin Love Kevin Wesley Love is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association.

Kevin love desrves his position lamar odom has nothing to do in the top ten, and saying that he is a mixture of loauwon and russell is absurd! He is nothing like them.

Best rebounder ever he is a consistent shooter and won 3point contest Kevin love is a beast

I love kevin he is king at 3's

9 Chris Bosh Christopher Wesson Bosh is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association.
10 Chris Paul Christopher Emmanuel Paul is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association.

His explosiveness is underrated. Before his knee surgery, he was just as quick as Derrick Rose. Now that derrick rose is coming off surgery himself, he'll experience the same effects, and Chris Paul will assert himself as the best PG in the league

He's a beast best ball handler in the league and he should be top 5 AND HE GETS CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP why oh why can't you just realize that your dealing with the best poin guard in the league

Maan CP3,
I think he is one of the best younger Players in the complete, because his Speed is awesome. You look there? He isn't!.
The Handling is like an rocket. Yes he is one of the best Point Guards in the Legaue.

Chris Paul is the best he hot the best Cross overs but I thin John Wall is Michael bryter thin all of them

The Contenders
11 Kyrie Irving Kyrie Andrew Irving is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and the Nets.

Kyrie is in the top ten for sure

12 Ray Allen Walter Ray Allen, Jr. is a former American professional basketball player who is currently a free agent.

I think ray Allen should be better then Kobe. He has good form once it's out of his hands going in. Every pass is great against other teams.

Best three point shooter

Best 3 point shooter

13 Lamar Odom

I think he would be top 200

14 Paul Pierce Paul Anthony Pierce is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association.
15 Rajon Rondo Rajon Pierre Rondo is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.

Best Point Guard in the NBA. What Point guard below 6'4 can grab 15 boards, 10 assist and 13 points per game because rose can't

He is a great player and should be the 5 best player

Rondo average an triple double 2 times come on really 11th contender necckk

16 James Harden James Edward Harden, Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association.
17 Jeremy Lin Jeremy Shu-How Lin is an American professional basketball player for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association.

Jeremy lin is a great point guard. I believe he will get better after playing more. He is amazing and will be the best point guard in the NBA one day. LINSANITY!

18 Blake Griffin Blake Austin Griffin is an American professional basketball player for the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association.

One of the dunkers alive and is becoming more versatile. I commend his hard work during his recovery. You can see it in his play of 2012 and I bet will continue in 2013. HE IS CARRYING THE CLIPPERS ALONG WITH CHRIS PAUL!

19 Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.

He is the best basketball player in the world. don't you think? I am glad he is in the top 10 best basketball player in the entire world

He is the most best player that you can play againt he is damn sure above chris paul and people need to see that ASAP.

20 Tony Parker William Anthony Parker Jr. is a French professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association.
21 Brian Scalbrine
22 Dirk Nowitzki Dirk Werner Nowitzki is a German professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association.

Best jumper in the history of nba

23 Andre Iguodala Andre Tyler Iguodala is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association.

Andre Iguodala is better than Lebron. He can dunk, run and steal.

Don't say that again in my presence

24 Deron Williams Deron Michael Williams is an American professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association.
