Through his 12 years in the league, LeBron James has proved to be one of the best NBA players of all time. His two NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, four league MVPs and 11 All-Star Game selections reinforce that notion.

But where does the 30-year-old superstar rank among the league's all-time greatest players? Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith attempted to tackle that question in a debate on ESPN's First Take on Tuesday.

Stephen A. went with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Tim Duncan, before rounding out his Top 5 all-time NBA players with King James. Meanwhile, Skip left James out of his Top 5 altogether — going with Jordan, Bill Russell, Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Abdul-Jabbar as his Top 5. Bayless tabbed Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird as his sixth, seventh, and eight-best all-timers, before awarding No. 9 to LeBron.
