I can't imagine how LeBron wouldn't be #1, simply from his off-court draw.

Here's an astonishing number. Since adding LeBron, local TV ratings for Sun Sport have jumped 118%!

How do you quantify just how valuable a guy like this is? With Jordan, Shaq and Kobe, he's probably already in the Top 5 in NBA history, and will probably be an easy #2 in the next couple years, if the Heat win a ring.

Durant's almost at the same level and several year's younger

he's not on a nominee list cause he wasn't in the top 10 last time we did this. haven't counted but i'd say he has a good shot at being the next player added though.

It pains me to say it, but LeBronze.

Nominee: Westbrook.

It hurts not nominating Dirk, but if I'm starting a franchise I would want Westbrook over him (and others in the top 10).

Not all teams are looking to start a franchise. A lot of teams are looking to contend or make the next step to become a contender. Westbrook is also a good choice though.
