Ball the son of the outspoken father, Lavar Ball, is a Laker rookie from UCLA. LeBron James is a 14 time all star, 4 time MVP, and 3 time champion, currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although some may think that Lebron James is the best basketball player of all time, Lonzo Ball is a better player because he broke Lebron’s record for youngest triple-double in NBA history, he got his signature shoe at an earlier stage in his career, and his rookie year stats are better.

On November 30, 2014, I witnessed my first basketball game at just six years old. It was between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors, and although Kobe was coming toward the end of his career, he still managed to score 31 points and get the win in overtime. Watching him play inspired me to get into basketball, just like the millions of other players he has inspired. As I got older I continued to be interested in Kobe and his steadfast dedication to basketball. I also learned how much he gave back to the community in donations, or even training other players after he retired in April of 2016.
Allen Iverson has changed the NBA (National Basketball Association) in many ways, he has changed the way people play, the way NBA is and the way NBA has changed into a competitive sport. For the past three years, as Iverson chased an NBA comeback, his marriage fell apart and much of his fortune he earned more than $150 million in salary alone during his career dissolved. Now, those who once ignored past signals have recognized that basketball may have been the only thing holding Iverson’s life together. The early 2000s led to trend of dudes having braids, much of which can be attributed to Iverson’s rise to the top of the NBA.

One of the reasons why Lebron can not be said to be better than Jordan is because of how many championships Michael has won compared to Lebron. Michael Jordan played in the NBA for fifteen years, made it to the finals six out of those fifteen years and won every time. While Lebron is in his thirteenth year in the NBA, made it to the finals seven times, and won three out of those seven times.

Running onto the court, hoping to have a big game to help the team win. I`d love to be a basketball player for one day. The player I would to be is Stephen Curry. I`d like to be him because he`s one of the best players in the world. When he catches fire he can 't be stopped.
Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Dwyane Wade are among the current crop of players who have copied Jordan’s style, and they have to thank him because of the enormous popularity that he has brought to the game.

Kobe Bryant was able to win 5 and Michael Jordan won 6. This puts MJ ahead in the winning category because championships are what you strive for especially since MJ played for less years. Most players would be satisfied with winning one, but winning wasn’t enough for them. Their cutthroat mentality and desire to be the best escalated them to becoming two of the greatest players ever. What’s outstanding is how they both played in different generations and played almost exactly the same and both of them were not able to be stopped,
