5:16pm, 27 September 2025【Basketball】
On September 26, ESPN recently selected the top 100 active stars, and Jam Duku has entered the top ten. It has to be said that the three elders are in good shape. Although they are no longer players in the top three levels of the league, they can still lead the team to win. Jokic is the first in this list. In the future, he has the opportunity to reach the top twenty in history. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the US media’s division of the top twenty in history.
The fourth tier
This tier is the 11th-20th level in history, with Moses Malone, Dr. J Irving, Durant, Karl Malone, Curry, Wade, Smiling Assassin, Barkley, Garnett and Oscar Robertson on the list. Moses Malone and Dr. J both won the regular season MVP, and they joined forces to win the championship trophy for one time. Their peak was in the ABA period, and Dr. J was the first person in the ABA league that year, the founder of the aerial work style, while Malone won the MVP for three times.
Durant and Curry are two active players, it is reasonable that they can be on the list. In the eyes of many US media, Durant and Curry are both top 15 players in history. Curry has won 4 championships so far in his career, and he is also an epoch-making player. After retiring, Curry is estimated to be able to reach the top 10 in history. Durant is one of the best scorers in history, winning two FMVPs and being among the top ten in history.
Kal Malone should be the highest player in history without a championship. One of the main reasons why he has such a high historical status is that there are two regular season MVPs, and they are the third in total score in history. This guy is also very similar to James' body structure. Barkley was able to enter the top 20 in history, and he didn't have many great honors, but his performance in the 1990s was too outstanding, and he dared to fight against Jordan's existence at his peak.
Wade is the third point guard in history. Although he does not have an MVP trophy, he has played the first-ever efficiency value in the finals, and helped the Heat win three championships, and the most blocked backcourt players in history. More reasons why Garnett was able to enter the top ten in history is the official praise of the media and the league. His current honor is no longer comparable to letters or Jokic, and he will be squeezed out by these two people in the future sooner or later. Although Oscar Robertson only has one second-in-command champion, there is no doubt that this person can enter the top 20. A point guard has achieved a triple-double average and has averaged more than 30 points in six seasons. The key is that he has fought for racial equality for black players, which is of great significance. The Smiling Assassin is a rare existence in history who leads the team to win the championship as a point guard. His playing style is similar to Paul, and his offensive and organizational skills are top-notch. In the third tier, there are O'Neal, Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Duncan. These are the top ten existences in history, and they are also the four super centers in history. It is difficult to judge which of these four is stronger. Russell and Chamberlain are in the same era. Russell led the team to win 11 championships, and there are eight consecutive championships that shocked the ancient and modern times. Chamberlain's teammates at that time were not as good as Russell's teammates, but he also won two championships, and he is the leader in rebounding in history, so it is reasonable to enter the top ten.
Duncan is one of the most underrated stars in history. Because he did not cater to the media, he received so many honors, but he was still the last among the top ten in history. He was selected into the Best Defensive Team 15 times, without a single DPOY, and has 5 career championships. O'Neal is the strongest dominant center in history. In his personal ability at his peak, O'Neal may be the strongest among the four, with a talent that is no less than Chamberlain, but he still has skills. The second level
This level is the top five levels in history, with Magicians, Bird, Olajuwon, Kobe and Jabbar on the list. Magic and Bird are the key to the NBA's recognition, and they helped the NBA complete the first wave of attention in the TV era. The Magician is the first point guard in history and the only point guard in history to win three regular season MVPs and three finals MVPs. Bird is the third place in history to achieve a regular season MVP for three consecutive times, and neither Jordan nor James have done it.
Kobe can be said to be one of the most influential players in history. To be honest, his personal honors are not much. The 2nd FMVP and 1 regular season MVP are the same as Durant, but he has 5 championships, and his playing style is similar to Jordan, and his Mamba spirit has infected many fans and has been recognized. Jabbar is the center with the most honors in history, with the six regular season MVPs, scores, rebounds and blocks in history. Olajuwon has no problem with his ability. He is the best center forward in history with offense and defense, but he does not have enough honors and is more suitable for the third level.
The first level
This level is Goat level. Jordan and James are on the list. Many fans have guessed that they have entered this level. One is the most influential player in history and the other is the most influential player in active service. The two have the top two in history in the number of FMVPs. Jordan has the most scoring champions in the 10th class, and James has the most influential scores in history. Having said that, what do you want to say about the division of US media this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
