I expect it's only between 3 players...

Jesus, that’s a hell of a career. I still think he’s a better player than Curry, although I will grant they’re in the same league.

When you look at Magic’s resume, it still puzzles me that Lebron is viewed by some as Top 2.

Thomas should be in consideration as well.

I don't think IT deserves a nod to be honest. He's just far less talented than the other 3 guys. He would be #4 on my list though.
