Unsurprisingly, the players considered the best to ever grace an NBA court have accumulated the most votes for individual awards given by the league in history.
At No. 1, you have the inevitable LeBron James with 34 times receiving votes. However, there are some important caveats. First, modern-day players have a big advantage since the number of individual awards has increased over time. Defensive Player of the Year (for which LeBron received votes nine times) was only introduced in 1983, for example; one can imagine how many votes Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain would have had it existed during their careers.
Secondly, Tim Duncan might have topped this ranking if he hadn’t been so great from the get-go. What puts LeBron over the top here is his four years with Most Improved Player votes compared to Duncan’s zero – which is the price you pay when you’re an MVP candidate already in your rookie season.
As always, you can check the full ranking below.
There have been at least 26 sales of NBA cards worth seven figures and most of them involve Jordan, LeBron, Kobe and Curry.
We’re in the golden era of sports cards, with some being sold for millions of dollars. Though not as hot a property as some baseball cards, there’s a big market for the basketball stuff too. Per our research, there have been at least 26 sales of NBA cards worth seven figures.
Most of them involve Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry. One featuring the Warriors superstar actually tops the list of the most expensive sales ever.
The 2003-04 Upper Deck LeBron James Exquisite Collection Rookie Patch Autograph is the card sold most times in our list with 12. Other players that collectors are investing in are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic. The trading card industry is booming and still growing, and we’re sure there will be new record sales soon.

The sports card industry thrives, with LeBron James reigning supreme in the NBA market. Rookie cards hold significant value, with the 2003-04 Upper Deck LeBron James Exquisite Collection Rookie Patch Autograph being a top choice for deep-pocketed investors.
We looked at different websites like Goldin Auctions, Heritage Auctions, and PWCC Marketplace, and here are the highest-ranking sales of LeBron James cards:
On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, LeBron James took the record from Michael Jordan as oldest player with game-winning buzzer-beater.
It was probably not the type of game-winning buzzer-beater kids dream of while shooting hoops in their front yards, but LeBron James‘ tip-in on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, gave the Lakers a 120-119 win over the Indiana Pacers last night.
It also gave James yet another record, one that – again – came at the expense of his main rival in the GOAT debate, Michael Jordan, that of oldest player in NBA history to hit a game-winning buzzer-beater.
Jordan was 38 years and 358 days old when he hit his last game-winning buzzer-beater back on January 31, 2002. James was 40 years and 86 days old yesterday, beating MJ’s record by a fair amount.
Apparently, this is one thing GOAT candidates like to one-up each other with, because Jordan had previously beaten Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record in this very same category.
For James, it was his first regular-season game-winning buzzer-beater since February 7, 2018, and somehow only his third ever in the regular season. Strangely enough, he has more in the playoffs (five) than in the regular season.
James now has eight career game-winning buzzer-beaters, one behind Jordan, who holds the all-time record with nine. James is now tied with Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson for the second-most game-winning buzzer-beaters ever.
Fun fact: James is the first player in NBA history to have three buzzer-beating game-winners against the same team… all while playing for different teams himself.
Below, check out the oldest players to have a game-winning buzzer-beater in NBA history.
