Since 1946, the NBA has seen many great players on the courts with different skills and styles of play. It can be very difficult to single out one player as being the best of all time. There are a number of NBA legends who are widely regarded as being some of the most successful and talented players over the years.
NBA stars
Americans love their sports, and sports betting is becoming more and more popular as a result. The NBA – and basketball as a whole – is one of the most popular sports betting options in the U.S., especially with the emergence of huge stars with great athleticism. They are great to watch, and they make the NBA finals game really exciting.
Michigan sports betting is live and legal, and in most sportsbooks, the NBA is one of the most heavily wagered leagues. This year the Detroit Pistons may just be an NBA much-watch team and could upset teams who overlook them.
LeBron James
LeBron James has dominated since he came into the league at the age of 18. He carried the 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers to the final. He also brought a championship to Cleveland after a drought of 52 years. This well-rounded player can do it all. He sits in the top 10 for points scored and assists. He is the only player ever to record 9,000 rebounds. He recently finished playing his 17th season and has definitely made his mark as one of the best players of all time.
Michael Jordan
Many people regard Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever, and his name is synonymous with the game of basketball. He was the greatest scorer of all time and an unstoppable force on the court. The league’s scoring title went to him ten times. In 1996 he led the Bulls to 72 victories and a championship, a feat that was unbroken for 20 years. Jordan was a superb offensive and defensive player.
Jordan’s most iconic shot for many people is the one he took over Cavaliers’ player Craig Ehlo. If Jordan missed the shot, the Bulls went home, but he got it in, and they advanced. Michael Jordan’s net worth is currently $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.
Shaquille O’Neal
Shaq stood at 7’1’’ and was a hulk of a man. Despite his size, he was incredibly athletic and could find his way in and out of lanes to score and get rebounds. He dominated the court as an offensive and defensive player. In the course of his career, he managed to score 28,596 points which is the 8th all-time record for career points. For his rebounds, he is at 15th all-time record. He could not only score but rebound and defend with the very best.
Shaquille O’Neal’s net worth is said to be $400 million. What gamers earn is probably in the region of anywhere from $3 million to $10 million, showing the great earning power of top athletes.
