1 Michael Jordan

There is no doubt that Jordan was elected No. 1, and he is recognized as the best basketball player in NBA history, setting countless records in his basketball career that will be difficult for future generations to surpass.

He set a series of records that are difficult for others to surpass.

2 Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is definitely one of the best and most well-rounded scoring guards in NBA history. Breakouts, shots, free throws, and three-pointers are omnipotent, and the record of 81 points in a single game is even more shocking. And he also has very perfect defensive skills. Kobe Bryant has won 5 NBA championships, 2 NBA scoring titles, 2 Finals MVPs, 1 regular season MVP, 4 All-Star Game MVPs, and 13 NBA All-Star selections. He was also named the best NBA player of the first 10 years of the 21st century by SportingNews.

3 Jerry West

Before Kobe, West was the best shooting guard in Lakers history. He spent 14 seasons with the Lakers and scored 25,192 points, an average of 27 points per game. He was named to the All-NBA First Team four times, the All-NBA Team 10 times, and the All-Star Game 14 times. He averaged 29.1 points per game in the playoffs, including an average of 40.6 points per game in 11 playoff games in 1965. Unfortunately, he has only won one NBA championship in his career.

4 George Gwen

Nicknamed "The Iceman," George Gervin is the first guard in NBA history to become the NBA's leading scorer three times. Gervin has a superb, scoring 33 points in a single quarter. He has won one All-Star Game MVP, five First Team of the Season selections, and nine NBA All-Star selections. Throughout his professional basketball career, he scored 26,595 points, an average of 26.2 points per game. Although he has many individual accolades, his best result in team results is leading the team to the division finals.

5 Clyde Drexler

Glider Drexler is a player that Jordan admires. Drexler is known for his eye-pleasing high-gliding layups and has won one NBA championship. Drexler was named to the NBA First Team 1 time and the All-Star Team 10 times. He is a very well-rounded player, totaling 22,195 points, 6,195 assists and 6,697 rebounds in 15 seasons in his NBA career. In NBA history, the only players to score more than 20,000 points and have more than 6,000 assists and rebounds are him, Havlicek and Oscar Robertson.

6 Reggie Miller

The famous "Mr. Key" in NBA history, he staged a Miller moment that NBA fans remember vividly. Reggie Miller was born with a hip disorder and doctors even declared him unable to walk, but Miller overcame the hip disease with tireless efforts and the help of his sister and eventually became one of the best scoring guards in NBA history. Miller's biggest regret in his career was not winning the NBA championship, but his confrontation with Jordan has undoubtedly become a classic.

7 Aaron Iverson

A player worthy of our admiration, although he is only 1.83m tall, he has brought us countless classic moments. He is the shortest scoring champion in league history, winning the honor four times and was named the regular season MVP in 2001. Iverson represents a never-give-up spirit who will never throw in the towel, even with an injury. In the 2000-01 season, he led the 76ers to the finals, and in the face of a strong OK combination, he still took the lead on the Lakers' home court, and although he failed to win the championship in the end, his spirit touched all the fans.

8 Devin Wade

Wade is one of the best players in the league right now. Wade won the NBA Championship and Finals MVP in 2006, the regular season scoring champion in 2009 with an average of 30.2 points per game, and the All-Star Game MVP in 2010. He was a seven-time NBA All-Star, a two-time NBA First Team, and a three-time NBA Defensive Second Team. Wade, nicknamed the Flash, has a very sharp breakthrough ability and is also very outstanding in defense. If he can join forces with James to win more titles, then he can continue to move up the rankings.

9 Earl Monroe

Monroe was known as the "Black Magician" back then, and his dazzling ball handling skills were his specialty. Monroe is of average physical condition, with mediocre bounce and speed, but he has become one of the best shooting guards in NBA history with his excellent ball handling skills. He averaged 18.8 points per game in his career, was named to the All-Star team four times, and led the Knicks to the 1973 NBA championship.

10 Bill Sharman

Bill Sharman has won four NBA championships, four First Team of the Season and eight All-Star selections. He's a great shooter, the league's No. 1 free-throw percentage for seven seasons, and he's one of the first guards in NBA history to shoot over 40 percent from the field. He helped the Celtics win multiple NBA championships, and in 1996, he was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.

This ranking is a matter of opinion, and you don't have to worry too much.
