Lakers’ Forward LeBron James Is 12th All-Time On My List, Says Nelson Dukes
Lakers YouTube Channel
When sports fans rank their top ten or twenty players to ever play in the NBA, they would mostly name Michael Jordan in the number one spot and LeBron James right behind him, or in the top five in today’s era. However, if you ask Nelson Dukes, his list goes as follows:
- Michael Jordan
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Magic Johnson
- Kareem Abdul Jabar
- Kobe Bryant
- Bill Russell
- Tim Duncan
- Larry Bird
- Hakeem Olajuwon
- Oscar Robertson
- Shaquille O’Neal
- LeBron James
Dukes has a room on the Clubhouse app called WALKLIKEUS. The list has been made fun of for months, but it has been discussed on ESPN, FS1, and Clubhouse by current players, former players, current analysts, and fans. They have all tried to change Duke’s mind, but if you listen to him, he makes a compelling argument for why his list is the way it is.
LeBron James has played 18 seasons in the NBA and hasn’t looked like he will be breaking down anytime soon. However, James has not played since March 20th against the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers would fall 99–94 and have gone 5-6 without James throughout the stretch.
If you would like to try to argue with Dukes, catch him moderating rooms on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday on the Clubhouse app.
