Who are the best NBA players 

Get to know some criteria of the list that we prepared to know why we chose each of the top 5 in the NBA. 

First of all, this list has to do with the projection of the player, even if he is young or an experienced player. 

What's more, we measure the expectation we have about his performance in the 21/22 season. 

Another important piece of information is the statistics of the comments of both the coaches and the performances of the last matches.  

Know now the top 5 of our list of the best in the NBA 

1 – Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets 

Against all odds, Kevin Durant is back playing at the same exuberant level he was before he tore his Achilles tendon. 

What's more, what was once a death sentence for the careers of many athletes. 

Possibly the best scorer in NBA history, a reputation achieved through an unmatched combination of height. 

Hand coordination and technique, Durant still has the ability to be an excellent defender when he turns on the "key" in important moments.  

2 – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks 

It may sound strange to say this about a player who has already won two MVPs in his career. 

Mainly, the Greek clearly made a production leap during the playoffs that ended with his first title in Milwaukee. 

Giannis has reduced perimeter shooting and time on the ball to become what he should be. 

Beyond that, a dominant force inside the paint, there's no answer to his game in the paint until he developed a mini fadeaway à la Dirk.  

All this entering the defensive first team in the last three seasons. 

Antetokounmpo has good reason to be number one on this list, but I ended up going with Durant because of his more complete offensive arsenal. 

3-Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors 
Playing alongside a team no one will confuse with the three-title Warriors, the point guard carried a much heavier load and delivered a season not far off from his two MVPs: 

What's more, at 32, Curry shows no signs of slowing down. The only question is whether Golden State will be able to enjoy the final stretch of its heyday before entering a new stage.  

Beyond that, for now, we're still talking about one of the 21/22 MVP favorites. 
 
4 – LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers 

When did so many names (3) appear before King James on such a list? The answer is never, but time doesn't stop for anyone. 

In two of the last three seasons we've seen LeBron miss the Lakers for a significant amount of time.  

He still has full capacity to be the driver and guide this team to the title. 

What's more, requiring him to do it every night that passes is an unrealistic expectation for a guy about to turn 37. 

Mainly, he is already the third player with the most minutes in the game in NBA history. 
 
5 – Luka Doncic Dallas Mavericks 

It's hard to believe how good Luka Doncic is after three seasons in the NBA.  

What's more, the list of players who have reached such a high level so quickly is not huge, it may not even exist. 

Beyond that, Luka is the center of everything for the Dallas Mavericks, leading a flawed team to major playoff battles against the Clippers the past two years.  

That is precisely why he needs more support, in addition to improving his physical preparation so as not to exhaust himself at the end of important games. 

Now that you know the names of 5 best NBA players, you will be eager to watch the NBA games.
