In the NBA, winners get immortalized over anyone else, pretty much like in every other sport in existence.
As such, we decided to look at the NBA players with the best winning percentage in league history amongst players with at least 250 games under their belts.
While Kawhi Leonard had held the top spot for some time, he fell to third after the 2022-23 regular season. Magic Johnson now reigns supreme once again, with Larry Bird close behind.
Meanwhile, Sam Hauser has surprisingly jumped to the No. 2 spot thanks to the dominance of the Boston Celtics led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
