LeBron James ranked No. 1 on SI's list of top 100 NBA players

Stephen Curry may have won the MVP last season, and James Harden may have been a very close second. But ask any close observer of the NBA, and they'll tell you that LeBron James is the game's best player.

The folks at Sports Illustrated agreed. In the publication's ranking of the league's top 100 players, James came in at No. 1, which really shouldn't come as any surprise.
