what are sports

LeBron ahead of Jordan? smh

I've been a bulls fan forever, so I'm a huge fan of Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan. It's actually killing me that you put Lebron ahead lol.

My favorite is John Cena

tbh i put the more recent players further up rather than older players xD

i'm for utah jazz so thats why i put Gordon Hayward in the top 10 rather than some players who might be good but i put Luc Longley second and you didnt notice him :C.

You forgot Bill Murray

What is NBA?

so you took into consideration their stats? Influence on the game as well?

These are some factors I always use to pick favourite players, but you can get exceptions.
