The first round of the 2023 playoffs is done and dusted, but what players are in the top ten when it comes to post-season wins?
All win numbers are as of May 19, 2023.
=10) James Harden - 85
The Beard has featured in the playoffs for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Brooklyn Nets, and now Philly, but is yet to win a championship.
=10) Serge Ibaka - 85
Ibaka was part of the great Thunder team that included Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. He was also a key player for the Toronto Raptors when they won their maiden NBA title in 2018/19.
Ibaka will exit the top 10 this season should the 76ers win their Game 7 against the Celtics in Boston.

9) Kawhi Leonard - 87
Leonard made his return last year after missing the entire 21/22 regular and post-season.
He could only win once in the playoffs this campaign as the Clippers lost in five to the Phoenix Suns.
8) Udonis Haslem - 88
Haslem recently made his first playoff appearance since 2016 in the Miami Heat's blowout win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the first round.
The 42-year-old will officially retire at the end of 22-23.
7) Steph Curry - 99
The greatest shooter of all time is seventh for the most wins in the playoffs with 99 and counting.
Curry has spent his entire career with the Golden State Warriors and has helped them win four titles, picking up his first Finals MVP in 2022.
The point guard averages 26.9 PPG, 5.3 RPG and 6.2 assists in the playoffs, playing 37.3 minutes a night and recently made history by breaking the record for the most points scored in a Game 7 with his 50-piece against the Sacramento Kings.

6) Kevin Durant - 101
Currently playing for the Phoenix Suns after leaving the Brooklyn Nets earlier this season, Durant averages 29.4 PPG in the playoffs and helped OKC reach the Finals in 2012 alongside Ibaka and Westbrook as they lost in five to the Miami Heat.
4) Danny Green - 105
Green has done what his former Raptors teammate Leonard has not been able to yet, win a championship with three different franchises.
The 3-and-D shooting guard won his first title with the Spurs before winning one with the Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers. Across his 169 games and 105 wins, Green averages 7.9 points and 1 steal per game.

=3) Draymond Green - 107
Green might average less points than Curry and Klay Thompson, but his importance as a leader and defender cannot be understated.
=3) Andre Iguodala - 107
2) Klay Thompson - 108
One half of the 'Splash Brothers' with Curry, Thompson has been a huge reason for the Warriors' success in the last decade.
After a three-year playoff hiatus, the shooting guard returned this last season and claimed his fourth ring.
Incidentally, Thompson and Green were tied on playoff wins for a long time until the latter was suspended for Game 3 in the first round against the Kings this year.
1) LeBron James - 182
Just like he is for playoff points scored, James is miles ahead when it comes to post-season victories.
The King is back in post-season action this year, helping the Lakers overcome the second-seed Memphis Grizzlies in six games in the first round and the reigning champions in the second round.
