Top 25 Players in the NBA - # 1

I'd like to revive a series of threads that sparked fun debate on this board a couple of years ago.

Here's how this works: We're going to build a list of the top 25 players in the league, one player at a time. You vote for the top player in the league by posting his name in bold font. After 24 hours, the leading vote getter goes #1 on the list and we vote for #2 and the process repeats all the way to 25. You can only vote once per round, but you may vote for the same player as many times as you would like in successive rounds if he's not already on the list. I will disregard your vote if I find it to be frivolous.

The definition of the "best" player is who you would take to START a team with the goal of winning a championship in the 2007-2008 season. Contract, potential, position, current team etc. is irrelevant.

Imagine that we're redrafting the whole league; please do NOT give regard to current team. You have an EMPTY roster and this is the player that you're building around. DO NOT GIVE REGARD TO A PLAYER'S ACTUAL SUPPORTING CAST.

And please try to refrain from voting with a hometown bias. Note that this doesn't mean that you're not allowed to vote for your favorite player, just please please please try to remain objective. We're trying to compile a legitimate list here, and neither you nor your favorite player wins a prize for landing a high slot.

Nominations for the top player in the league?

I have to give my first vote to Lebron James, but only by a hair over Kobe.
