40-year-old James 12th! US media updates the top 15 superstars: Durant 14 Curry 5 Doncic rises to 4th

40-year-old James fell to 12th place! As the finals are about to start, the US media "Theringer" updated the list of top 15 active superstars, including Durant falling to 14th place, Curry rose to 5th, and Doncic returned to 4th.

Fifth place: Curry

Previous issue (April 16): 6th

Curry has completed his self-provement strongly this season, especially after entering 25 years, Curry's ranking has been rising from eighth to fifth, and once ranked 6th for a long time, but this period finally entered the top five.

This is closely related to Curry's proud performance in the playoffs. Faced with the Rockets' targeted defensive strategy, Curry still played influential game performance, explaining what the number one scorer in history is.

also successfully led the Warriors to defeat their old opponent, Rockets. If Curry had not suffered injuries in the second round, the Warriors would have a chance to enter the Western Conference Finals and even once again compete for the championship. I believe that after Curry recovers from health, the Warriors, whose lineup is appropriately adjusted during the offseason, will still be a reasonable championship-level team in the new season.

4th place: Doncic

Previous issue: 5

Shortly after entering the league, Doncic proved that he was one of the superstars and a stable top five superstar in the league.

Even if he was traded by the Mavericks to the Lakers due to his size, it did not change this. It just fell to fifth place for a long time, but as Tatum was seriously injured, Doncic completed the overtake and returned to fourth place.

plus Doncic successfully completed his weight loss during the offseason. If Doncic can regain his defensive enthusiasm and influence in the new season, then according to his offensive output and talent, as long as the Lakers return to the championship ranks, I believe Doncic will soon be expected to enter the top three, because his talent is completely in the top three levels.

Third place: Antetokounmpo

Previous issue: 3

Since winning the championship in 21, Antetokounmpo has always been a stable top three super giant in the league. Even though he has never developed a stable three-point shooting, with his exaggerated athletic ability, Antetokounmpo is still one of the best two-way players in the current service.

Especially when Lillard, Daluo and other outside three-pointers were silent this season, Antetokounmpo used his actions to prove that he had already completed his transformation on the offensive end. Even if there were problems with the space around him, he was still a solid 30+ scorer.

After stopping the first round for three consecutive years, Antetokounmpo is considering leaving the team for the first time this summer. If you can join a championship team and play dominant in the playoffs, I believe Antetokounmpo will soon return to the second position.

Second place: Alexander

Previous issue: 2

As the new MVP, Alexander has strongly improved his ranking this season. Since he surpassed Antetokounmpo in January and rose to second place, Alexander has firmly taken this position.

eventually defeated Jokic and won the MVP. Although there is huge controversy in the style of play, it is undeniable that he is becoming the top two-way backcourt in the league. He is not only a stable 30+ scorer on the offensive end, but also has a lot of influence on the defensive end.

The most important thing is that Alexander led the Thunder to the finals this season, and is very likely to win the first championship in his career, and it is also the first championship in the Thunder team's history.

No doubt, the top spot belongs to Jokic, who has occupied this position for most of the past five seasons.

Alexander further transformed this season, defeating Jokic to win the MVP, but Jokic firmly occupies the first place in the star strength list throughout the season.

The reason is also very simple. There are many factors that affect MVP, such as leading the team record, aesthetic fatigue and other factors that are not related to personal strength. However, in the selection of this list, it is completely judging the influence of the players' own abilities on the game. Jokic, who averages triple-double this season, will naturally firmly occupy the first place, and no surprise, he will occupy this position for a long time in the future.

The rest of the rankings are as follows (the previous issue rankings are in brackets)

6-10: Edwards (7), Halliburton (19), Mitchell (9), Brunson (10) and Tatum (4);

11-15: Wenbanyama (12), James (8), Davis (14), Durant (11) and Kat (16).
