The only big man who would qualify for this list MIGHT be Dirk, but he has horrible defense and poor passing skills.

Chris Paul's flaws:
1. 6 feet body size. He doesn't play well against big body PGs. He gets overpowered constantly.
2. 85% FT shooting is hardly anything to brag about..
3. He hasn't played a full season so far in his career.
4. How is he a top notch rebounder?!

What do you consider LeBron's 'weaknesses'?

Paul doesn't play top-notch defense. He plays below-average defense but gets a lot of steals. Kobe's flaws have less to do with his basketball talent and more to do with being a poor teammate sometimes.

Kobe has a weakness, he is selfish and egotistical.
Paul is also arrogant and immature at times.

I think your criteria is flawed but by your standards..
Kobe. Probably.
Paul. I think not.

at number 10. What is this based on? Certainly not what he has won.
Good rebounder? I think not.
Top notch defense? Perhaps as far as getting steals, yes. But man to man no. Godd defenders don't get picked on. Have you seen him vs Deron Williams? Not pretty.

1) On the rebounding: Paul's career rebounding avg is 4.5 rebounds/game. Kobe's is 5.3 rebounds/game. And given the fact Paul is 7 inches shorter than Kobe, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt there. Paul is a good rebounder for who he is, a point guard that barely stands at 6'0"
2) On the defense: Apparently the NBA thinks Paul is a top-notch defender. He was All-NBA 2nd team Defensive Team this year. I think the NBA knows more about which of its own players can play defense than a biased fan. Thanks for playing though. Peace

I must have missed when Paul became a top notch defender. I've never seen him shut down anyone, not even close actually. He gets a lot of steals which is cool, but he doesn't stop the player he is guarding. And no, making All Defensive teams doesn't mean anything anymore, it's because of his high steal numbers, nothing else.
And I didn't know his 3 point shooting was some great accomplishment, 37% is pretty average for PG's, and that was only last year, for his career he's below average.

1) If you are going to argue a point use meaningful statistics. So because he is shorter he gets a pass for having less rebounds? lol. That makes no sense. You are basically saying if he was taller he would be a "top-notch rebounder". Let's deal in absolutes here.
2) So because the NBA thinks so that makes it true? You realize Steve Nash has 2 MVP trophies? Try watching a basketball game.

Personally I've yet to see a player with a flawless game. Some have less weaknesses than others, and some might not even have any significant weaknesses, but I have never seen a flawless player during all my years of watching basketball.
And by the way, having less flaws than another player doesn't mean anything IMO. Brandon Roy might not have any significant flaws to his game (or weaknesses I should say), but compared against LeBron that doesn't matter. LeBron's strengths far outshine Roy's lack of weaknesses.

He doesn't get a pass at all, but everything is relative.
Paul is a point guard and a good rebounder for his size- to say otherwise would be foolish.

If Kobe had no weaknesses he wouldn't have those vanishing acts.
There is no flawless player in the NBA.
