In a recent interview with HoopsHype, Greivis Vasquez named LeBron James one of his top five players of all time. Vasquez, drafted 28th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2010, played against legends such as LeBron and Kobe Bryant.

During the interview, Vasquez was asked a common question for any hooper: Who is his all-time starting five? He began by naming six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan. He named Kobe number two. Vasquez chose LeBron next but stated that the Akron, Ohio native achieved something that neither MJ nor Kobe could.

“Some people may dislike him, but you can’t take away the fact that he’s a winner. Going to the NBA Finals eight times in a row, neither Kobe nor Jordan did that. What LeBron is doing now, being the face of the league and empowering basketball worldwide, is something no one has done before.”
