The greatest basketball player in the world is a huge title. To be honored with such praise, one must posses superb skill, monstrous size, superior athleticism, and modesty on and off the court. As an avid, life-long basketball fan, I have seen very few players that were even close to having all of these characteristics. There is one player, though, that possesses all of these qualities and many more. LeBron James is the best basketball player in the world.
LeBron James is a basketball player for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He and his team are in the midst of a playoff run to try and win their third championship in as many years. LeBron has carried his team this year, and ever since he came to Miami in 2011.
