US media evaluates the top 100 active stars: Jokic leads Curry at fifth, James Durant squeezes into the top ten

The new NBA season is about to begin, and the rapid growth of young players has naturally attracted a lot of attention. But the popularity of veteran superstars like James, Durant and Curry, who have been famous for a long time, is hard to estimate, especially when James' retirement tour seems to be counting down.

Therefore, when the US media selected the top 100 active players before the start of the new season, they gave the seniors enough face. There is no suspense that Jokic leads this list, followed by Alexander, Antetokounmpo and Doncic. This is also the consensus among various media. On the contrary, Curry ranks fifth, James and Durant also squeeze into the top ten, and the American media really gives the seniors face.

So far, Jokic, Alexander and Antetokounmpo, all three players have MVPs and championships respectively. In addition, they are in the peak period of professional players, and they are bound to lock in the top three. Doncic, who is ranked fourth, has very polarized online public opinion. On the one hand, Doncic is superior in strength, and even the gap between him and the top three is very small. However, Doncic has not been able to win either the MVP or the championship. Even judging from the Lakers' current lineup, his chances are likely to become slimmer in the future.

Curry is ranked fifth. After all, he remains in good condition. Even though the Warriors were in turmoil last season, Curry still led the team to overcome the top and advance to the second round of the playoffs. You must know that when Curry was healthy, he led the Warriors to suppress the Timberwolves. It was not until he was reimbursed due to injury that the situation was reversed by the opponent, otherwise the Warriors might not have lost. Curry's status in the new season will directly determine the fate of the Warriors team, but he is indeed old, especially for small guards, who are more likely to face a cliff decline.

James and Durant, the big and small kings, rank behind Edwards, ranking seventh and eighth on the list. To be honest, judging from last season's performance, this is really a bit too high. After all, James is already 40 years old. You can't compare him with the first-line super giants. Now James simply missed the start of the new season due to injuries, and his state after his comeback is difficult to predict.

Durant has a strong scoring ability, but in recent years, he has lacked practical skills in leading the team, especially last year when the Suns did not even make the play-offs. Coupled with age and a serious Achilles tendon injury, Durant's future status will be somewhat ups and downs. In addition, Bunyama and Mitchell have also entered the top ten of this list.
