Hard to say. Here are my possibilities:
KG - Has an MVP under his belt and his skills and stats are unquestionable. However, he has yet to really drive his team anywhere except for a couple of years ago when they reached the semi's. He is not as good individually as he was that year and his team is obviously not as good. He seems too frustrated to fully concentrate this season and that may be lowering him to where he is not the league's best as he has been the last several years (in my mind)
LeBron - Like KG, is great all around but is not as good as KG defensively. His moderate team success makes me want to rate him higher than KG but at the same time, his team success is still only moderate, which is not good when weighing who is best. Instinctually I want to say Bron since he is my favorite but I'm not quite convinced yet. Too me there is a difference between most talented and best. He is definitely IMO #1 or 2 in a "most talented" category with Kobe. Speaking of the devil...
Kobe - Best scorer in the game. Best player? Who knows? If he were a better leader/team player, then he would be the obvious answer.
Wade - Every day I think more and more of him and recently I've been trying to figure out who is better? Wade or LeBron? To me, Wade is like mixing LeBron with Steve Nash. He runs all over the court just like Nash but can slam it down with power like Bron (also Wade is good all around like LeBron). However, unlike both LeBron and especially Nash, Wade knows how to play defense.
