NBA Draft: Ranking the 10 Greatest No. 1 Picks of All-Time

#2 LeBron James

James with a typical tomahawk slam

The 'Chosen One' from Akron Ohio has been a part of the basketball universe for over half of his life now. The only player in the history of school basketball to have all high school games nationally televised, James is definitely the most hyped prospect ever to enter the league. In 15 years since James has been the best player in the world for at least half of his basketball career and continues to be at stratospheric levels of excellence.

One could make an MVP case for any of his seasons starting from his 3rd, and he has indeed finished top 5 in the voting for every season since. James has 3 NBA titles, 4 regular season MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, 14 All-Star game selections, 14 All-NBA selections and 6 All-Defensive Team selections in a storied career which has much room for growth still.

His postseason this year is as great as any in history, and he should end up at #1 on this list when all is said and done. With that being said, there's a certain 7'2" center who wraps up our countdown on the next slide.
