Any sports fan would know that the debate to decide the greatest players of all time are a never-ending saga. Many legendary players have missed out on the top-5 lists of several players, analysts and NBA legends, primarily due to personal preferences. Generally speaking, NBA fans do not react lightly to such opinions. A similar incident happened with Stephen Curry when he was asked to name his top-5 team, including himself in the team. The 34-year-old had made the cardinal mistake of leaving out LeBron James’ name from his five-man squad of choice, angering a large section of the NBA fandom.

The four-time NBA Champion recently named his dream team of all time, and decided not include LeBron James’ name along with the likes of Michael Jordan and Shaq. Incidentally, fans weren?t quite happy with the decision of the Dubs superstar as they bashed him on Twitter.
