I can respect that answer but to outright leave him off is ridiculous.....![]()
That’s the thing, he wasn’t left off.
Let’s supposed they asked 100 writer’s, media folk and analysts.
Apparently they had KD or Giannis etc above him and he was number 2 or 3 on most lists.
He wasn’t left off the list of best players, they just don’t feel like he’s the best player meaning number 1 in the league anymore from a performance standpoint.
I have to rate him higher than most because of what he brings to the table and game. His teams are expected to compete for championship, no other player is “Expected” to like Lebron is. So that makes him one of the best.
So it’s not simply a numbers game.
