The table ranked the greatest basketball players in history in one of five tiers.
Michael Jordan was the only person in tier 1 with five other legends in tier 2.
But modern-day great LeBron wasn’t one of the fab five in the second tier.
Kobe Bryant was joined by Shaq, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell.
But James was down in tier three alongside the likes of Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan and Larry Bird.
Fans couldn’t believe how low down LeBron was on the list.
One said: “How is LeBron tier 3 when he’s got more points than everybody here in less time with better field goal percentage.”
Another wrote: “Jordan, Lebron and Kobe in Tier 1 and Steph and KD need to be on Tier 2.”
And a third posted: “No way LeBron at tier 3, y’all hate this man for nothing.”
Four-time champion Stephen Curry was part of the club in tier four alongside Charles Barkley.
And the fifth tier featured the likes of Allen Iverson and Vince Carter.
Shaq was a four-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat during his iconic career.
He has gone on to become a much-loved analyst of NBA coverage on TNT.
