On August 6, 2025, the top five superstars in NBA history are re-arranged, and James is firmly ranked first

Some fans asked me to tell you how to rank the top 10 superstars in NBA history in your mind. To be honest, it is very difficult, especially the top 5 in history is the most controversial, and there are fewer controversies between 5 and 10. So in order to meet the requirements of fans, I will talk about how to rank the top 5 superstars in NBA history.

1: James

As an evergreen in the NBA's historical level, James has contributed too many exciting moments to everyone over 22 seasons, such as leading the Cavaliers to overturn the 73-win Warriors to win the championship while falling behind 1-3, completing the finals to complete the finals, etc. All career data are historical levels, with a total score of 42,000+ in history, steals and assists all in the top 10 levels in history, leading the team to 4 championships in the finals 10 times. Although there seems to be few championships, their opponents are all strong teams at the NBA's epic level, the five-star Warriors, the Spurs GDP combination, 4 Finals FMVPs, 4 regular season MVPs, and many season selections MVPs to enter the top five. He has been committed to charity for a long time. He has been self-disciplined and loyal to his family so far. In terms of influence, he has more than 213 million fans on social media.

2: Jordan

Jordan has experienced 15 seasons, various miracles and top honors created in the first 13 seasons, 6 championships, 6FMVP, 10 scoring champions that cannot be surpassed by the juniors, and can be said to have a strong dominance. Although it seems that all kinds of honors are extremely top-notch, it has to be said that the Bulls' lineup is completely based on Jordan configuration, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Cole, etc. Jordan averaged 22.9 shots per game during the Bulls, which was the Bulls' most shots, accounting for more than 35% of the Bulls' ratio. In addition, the entire league was in the star-making stage at that time, and the NBA broadcasted games in the world, almost all Jordan's games, so he created Jordan's top image. Therefore, Jordan's success is inseparable from the expansion of the league and the selfless dedication of his teammates.

3: Jabbar

Jabbar's most iconic feature is the Sky Hook. To be honest, this skill has almost been lost now. It is difficult to see on the court now. Jabbar's career spans two eras. His career data are historically level. His total score remains the first in the NBA in 38 years, and his total rebounds and blocks are third in history. He has won 6 championships in team honors, FMVPs in personal honors, and 6 regular season MVPs in history. Jabbar has played supporting roles and core roles in his career. He has never complained. He is a player who focuses on team first.

4: Russell, the Lord of the Rings, has a total of 11 championship rings in his career. Although there were only 14 teams in the league at that time, it seemed that there were 8 to 14 teams, but at that time the league had top superstars, Jerry West, and Robertsont. It was very difficult to win 11 championships and 5 regular season MVPs. It can be said that the value is also very sufficient. Among the 11 championships, they won the championship for 8 consecutive seasons. Russell's career can be said to have redefined the role tasks of the center. From a scoring machine to a defensive machine, Russell averaged 22.5 rebounds per game in his career and is a center at the historical level of the NBA.

5: Johnson

Johnson entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 1979. He won the championship for the Lakers in his rookie season and won the Finals FMVP. This is the only player in the NBA to win the championship and FMVP in his rookie season. As a point guard with a height of 2.06 meters, he can pass the ball and play the role of center and power forward at important moments. In the 1980 Finals, when Jabbar missed the game due to injury, Johnson played the role of center and got 42+15+7 data. He completely took over the game and showed his strong dominance and comprehensiveness. He won 5 championships for the Lakers in his career, and 3 FMVPs and 3MVPs for himself. It can be said that Johnson's career has redefined the point guard function and is an irreplaceable legendary player.

As for the superstars in the historical rankings of 6 to 10, there should be no controversy, just players such as Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Chamberlain, Bird, Curry, Olajuwon. The above are some of my views, which only represents my personal views.
