Bleacher Report released its updated list of the 100 greatest players in NBA history this week, which was voted on by a panel of experts, writers and editors.

Charles Barkley, Steve Nash, Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Durant are the top notable former Phoenix Suns players on Bleacher Report's Top 100 players of all-time. First off, top five all-time: Michael Jordan (1st), LeBron James (2nd), Kareem Abdul Jabbar (3rd), Magic Johnson (4th) and Bill Russell (5th).

After Bleacher Report unveiled its all-time NBA player rankings, which had Bryant at No. 11, Shaq took issue with the publication's exclusion of his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate outside of the top 10. Honestly? I can see both sides here:

NBA season gears up for takeoff, rumors suggesting that LeBron James could leave the Los Angeles Lakers also seem to be heating up. The four-time NBA champion has been with the Lakers since 2018, after he jumped ship to join Rob Pelinka’s camp from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Closing the circle might just be one of the best ways to end a career, especially when it means returning to the place where it all began.
