NBA GMs completely snub LeBron James, Stephen Curry in best player vote by position

In a recent poll of NBA General Managers, Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry were completely overlooked in the voting for the best player at each position. Despite being considered two of the greatest players in history, neither received votes in their respective categories.

The absence of LeBron James and Stephen Curry from the voting across these key NBA positions sparked surprise and debate among fans and experts. Both players have had remarkable careers and are regarded as some of the best in history. However, general managers appear to have a different perspective on their current influence on the league.

General managers answered 50 different questions about the best teams, players, coaches, and offseason moves. They were not allowed to vote for their own team or staff. The percentages are based on the number of respondents to each specific question, rather than all 30 general managers.
