US media announced the top 10 current NBA superstars: Durant 8 Curry 5 Lakers become the only dual-core team selected

As the regular season is approaching, the US media "ClutchPoints" timely announced the list of the top 10 NBA superstars. Among them, the Rockets' new core Durant ranked 8th, and the Warriors core Curry ranked fifth. The Lakers became the only team with both cores selected at the same time.

Tenth place: Mitchell

As the core of the Cavaliers, Mitchell is the core reason why this young dark horse has transformed into a top contender in the Eastern Conference in the past two seasons. However, he still needs to continue to prove himself in the playoffs and lead the team to truly form the ability to compete for the championship before he can hope to continue to improve the ranking.

This not only requires Mitchell to continue to improve his game dominance, but also urgently relies on the growth of young players such as Garland and Mobley around him.

Ninth place: Wenban Yama

Wenban is the leader of the new generation and a popular candidate for the next NBA appearance. During the offseason, Wenban not only got rid of blood clots, but also greatly improved his core confrontation ability.

Coupled with the Spurs' improved competitiveness, Bunyama is ready to compete for MVP and return to the playoffs.

Eighth place: Durant

Durant has just signed a two-year, 90 million early contract extension with the Rockets, aiming to lead the young Rockets to once again attack the championship.

In terms of ability, Durant is fully qualified for a higher ranking. Even at the age of 37, he is still the best key scorer in active service.

Seventh place: James

James is about to turn 41 years old. Being included in the list is undoubtedly a huge recognition of his ability. However, judging from the actual game content, James's game influence has declined seriously.

Especially in the high-intensity playoffs, James can no longer take care of both offense and defense and can only focus on one side. However, with his career achievements and fame, the 41-year-old James still deserves the seventh place.

Sixth place: Edwards

Edwards is a representative of the new generation in the United States. He has grown significantly in the past two seasons. Last season, he led the league in three-point shooting.

As Edwards studied the back-up skills of Jordan and Kobe in the offseason, Edwards is expected to further transform into a true superstar in the new season.

Fifth place: Curry

As the number one shooter in NBA history, Curry's durability and influence on the game are declining as he ages.

Fortunately, Curry's decline is not that big. In addition, in the new season, high-five defense (High five) becomes a foul, and ultra-long buzzer beaters are not included in the statistics. Curry's offensive threat and shooting percentage are bound to increase significantly.

Fourth place: Doncic

So far in his career, Doncic has always been a stable 30+ scoring threat and an unstoppable presence on the offensive end.

With the Lakers officially establishing him as the core, Doncic has lost weight significantly, and his offensive and defensive performance is expected to improve significantly in the new season.

Coupled with the fact that there is another top ten superstar James beside him, the Lakers have become the only team in the league with two top ten superstars, and will also launch an attack on the championship in the new season.

Third place: Antetokounmpo

In the past five years, Antetokounmpo has always been among the top three in the league. He has always maintained DPOY-level influence on the defensive end and has become a stable 30+ scorer on the offensive end.

Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo has never been able to improve his long-range shooting performance, resulting in his failure to obtain a higher ranking.

Second place: Alexander

With his performance in winning the MVP, championship, and FMVP awards last season, Alexander has strongly completed his self-proof, surpassing Antetokounmpo to rise to second place, and even ranked first in some lists.

But if he wants to occupy the top two positions for a long time, Alexander needs to continue to maintain his dominance and increase his influence on the game other than drawing fouls.

First place: Jokic

There is no doubt that the top spot belongs to Jokic. He has been the top two MVP candidates in the past five years and won the MVP three times.

Losing the MVP twice was more due to aesthetic fatigue and poor side configuration. With the Nuggets' substantial reinforcements during the offseason, both Jokic and the Nuggets are ready to compete for the championship again.
