Looking back on the career of a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Magic Johnson once it&#39;s complete, there are many factors to consider:&nbsp;number of championships, overall contribution to great teams, even just looking at the statistics. But who can say while an athlete still plays&nbsp;whether their good years are in front of them or behind? And harder still to compare their merits in comparison to other players who may be injured, have overall less experience playing professionally or are just going through a slump.

This list attempts to sort through all the NBA&#39;s most popular and famous current all stars to find the most talented, and the players who are the most essential to have on a winning team to truly determine who is the best active player in the NBA today. LeBron James and Stephen Curry, two of the most iconic and celebrated players to ever compete, dominated in the early rankings, but a number of other challengers for the title&mdash;such as Houston Rockets&nbsp;phenom&nbsp;James Harden&nbsp;and the legendary Russell Westbrook&mdash;have become favorites as well.

The tallest basketball player in the league right now is Tacko Fall, who in a league of giants towers over many of his opponents at 7-foot-5. Fall is a marvel to look at and even more fun to watch play, as he uses his long arms and grand stature to dominate in the paint for the Boston Celtics.&nbsp;

However, even though the NBA is a league built on tremendous heights, on current rosters, there are just 31 players <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-over-7-feet-tall/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">7 feet tall</a> or over. Some teams feature no players that tall, while others like the Dallas Mavericks feature a pair of giants: the 7-foot-4 Boban Marjanovic and the 7-foot-3 Kristaps Porzingis, who are both right behind Fall for the title of tallest NBA player.&nbsp;Some of these players are even among the tallest players in NBA history, and the 7-foot-2 Bol Bol is the son of Manute Bol, who was in his day one of the tallest NBA players ever.
