Best NBA Players of the 2011-2012 Season

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.

One of the all time greats. LBJ is versatile and able to play, and guard, all five positions (Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward and Centre) and is able to grab rebounds, assist AND score no matter what position he's playing, while on defense can take anything coming his way. I don't understand some of the hate LeBron gets and he thoroughly deserves his 3rd MVP, 1st Championship, Finals MVP and 2nd Olympic gold. He's most definitely on the way to being an All-Time Great.

Lebron has outplayed everyone on this list with his overall game. He is third in scoring, only one ppg behind durant (#2 on my list) and 2 behind Kobe (#3) Highest PER, has 8 reb per game, as much as Durant, but also gets 6.5 assists, much more than durant's 3.5. He shoots an outstanding 53.4% from the field, and also get 2 steals per game. He is simply the best player. Notes: All stats are from 4/8.

I believe Lebron is the best of his time. Kobe Bryant had to go to college, but Lebron didn't. This is a bad decision from the top ten lists. Lebron is the best and most clutch player in the NBA, no doubt about it. GO HEAT!

Let's check his resume when the 2012 season was over.

3x Most Valuable Player (2009, 2010, 2012)
8x All-Star (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012)
6x All-NBA first team (2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012)
2x All-NBA second team (2005, 2007)
4x All-Defensive first team (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, )

And NBA finals MVP and NBA CHAMPION...R.I.P. 2003/04-2010/11
how is he not the best player in the NBA that is just stupid

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.

For those who don't like kobe don't watch much basketball or keep up with players. Next season ( if there is one, due to the lockout) kobe is hands down going to dominate almost young kobe like you could say. He got his knees done ( for good this time ) and he is booming like he was as a rookie trust me I went to his camp this year.

Chris Bosh is on here! Haha! That was a good, much needed laugh! Sometimes I love seeing funny things like that! Yeah though, Kobe Bryant is the best and most clutch. I hate Lebron James, but he does make a pretty good second. He's better than dwyane wade anyways, but Kobe is still the best!

Kobe bryant is without a doubt the second best player to ever play the game, second to Michael Jordan. For all you lebron james lovers out there... I have one question for you... How many championships has kobe won, and how many has lebron won. Case and point

I'm not gone say he the best in the world but is a good player and one of the top players. #black Mamba

3 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.

Easily #2, maybe #1. Best scorer in the league, no argument. Best closer in the league, no argument. When he wants to, he can't be stopped. He is only 23 years old and he is going to win a championship this year. He just beat the Spurs and is about to take out Miami. He is young and is only going to get better. Also he is the 3x scoring champion of the NBA. The league better watch out because Durant is the future.

Kevin Durant is the best player the NBA is ever going to see. He's going to have the best career ever, The thing we have to worry about with durant is if he can stay healthy. If he can do that he will end up like Kobe Bryant if not he will end up like Tracy McGrady. RIP tracy mcgrady's career.

Rising and formidable star. Will be around for years to come with star quality. Plus he is down to earth and has a collegiate style love for the game.

Such a great athlete soon will be much better than both lebron and kobe and has lots more time to carry his team to an nba championship

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

Dwyane wade is just like micheal jordan... Number 1 can beat him even Bryant! In 2010-2011 finals then the miami will be the champion, I know that wade is the mvp of the year. Because of his quickness, Bryant can't stop the superstar... Go Dwyane wade I know you can beat them all.. Your the man...!

The flash is better at scoring points in the paint and charging in than Kobe. He is also faster than Kobe and younger than Kobe, so if Dwyane Wade is like this right now, wait until he gets into his prime year.

The smooth and elegant player, the best since michael jordan left the game... Simply the best. Wish him health and strength to win much more rings and championships... GOGOGOGOGOGOGO D'WADE ;-)

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

I think Derrick Rose is the next Michael Jordan of this Generation.. He's The Best! He's More thn anyone else in NBA season.. And come and think of it, He is the youngest player who have been given the title of MVP of the season..

I think he is the best player in 2011 and 2012

I think he's number 1

Should be number 1 lol

6 Chris Paul Christopher Emmanuel Paul is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association.

Chris paul dribbles are good he is better than wade

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

Dwight is the beast in the East and a force to be reckoned with.

8 Rajon Rondo Rajon Pierre Rondo is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.

You can't come closer to a such good point-guard as Rondo. He can give assists, score and run plays that finds the right team-mates when they have open lane to the basket!

Best point gaurd of the celtics. I thik he will win the mvp if he can score more points.

9 Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.
10 Carmelo Anthony Carmelo Kyam Anthony is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association.

I mean this is Carmelo, put him on any team even the Olympic team, he will put up numbers. This is Mr. Clutch himself.. I will honestly take him over Lebron..

The Contenders
11 Dirk Nowitzki Dirk Werner Nowitzki is a German professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association.

He is a good shooter. 7 feet tall has shooting skills. That's cool so he should be in top 5 or top 3. Best player. Kobe Who? LeBron What?

Dude you don't mess with dirk. He's the most complete offensive player in the nba has no weakness. Now has become the most clutch.

Dirk should be the best player... Lebron is sucked... Dirk is an exceptional player he is 7 foot jump shot shooter...

Dirk won the champs so hats of to him he bear kobe lebron so he's definitely was the best player
