Is it a reach to say there is no clear cut best player in the NBA right now?

With LeBron, I wouldn't use the term "best" player and he certainly isnt the most "skilled".. i would use the terms "most efficient" or "best all-purpose" player and that really only goes for the regular season and playoff series' that don't have high implications. LeBron has improved his midrange and perimeter game but its still not sufficient enough regardless of his midrange pct some of you stat heads point to. LeBron can make those shots in the regular season when defenses are playing him for the drive and theres no pressure.. but when Dallas packed the paint against him he lost all confidence in that shot to the point where he didn't even want to shoot.. and when he did, especially in game 6, he kept making over aggressive drives to the rim that resulted in turnovers or offensive fouls. LeBron has to diversify his offensive arsenal, because right now all hes great at, and comfortable doing when the game is on the line, is penetrating and finishing at the rim or dishing it out for the corner three if the defense collapses. If you look at all of James' major loses in the playoffs the last couple of seasons you see that his inability to consistently knock down outside shots is a major weakness in his game and he has absolutely no confidence in his shot in pressure situations. In the 07 finals the Spurs packed the paint.. he shot 36% for that series.. he got off in game 1 against Boston last year then they tightened up and he disappeared.. now this years finals hes already swinging the ball to the other side of the key before he catches it good not even looking for his shot.
Dirk is the best offensive player.. 7ft, can score from anywhere on the floor, and shoots a high pct from the field, three, and the line.

He's stopped being assertive two years in a row now. This time he's done it in the finals. I just don't know if I can put him at the top after seeing him check out mentally in consecutive years. I had him as the best since 2008... but after seeing him so apathetic in the biggest games of his career... I mean he may end up being the best next year, but right now I can't say he is.
Dirk, CP3, LeBron, Wade, Howard, Durant, Kobe, Rose, Melo
Dude wet the bed in his last two games of the season and has continued to show signs of decline. He's definitely top 8 but no way is he at the very top. Couldn't get to the rack, couldn't post up Kidd, couldn't guard anyone, lift has taken a hit, he doesn't have that burst doesn't have the elevation on his jumper. It's goin downhill a bit. Hopefully his early exit can rejuvenate those weary knees.
Dirk just dismantled half those guys up above without a legit star by his side.
LeBron had Wade and Bosh
Durant had WB
Kobe had Pau/Bynum/Odom
