Lebron James is the best player in the NBA

Lebron James is the best player in the NBA, according to ESPN’s annual player Power Rankings The rankings are determined by a panel of ESPN experts.

For the second year in a row, James tops the list. He is followed by Kevin Durant Stephen Curry Anthony Davis and Chris Paul

James has been the best player in the NBA for several years now, and it’s no surprise that he is once again at the top of ESPN’s Power Rankings He is a dominant force on both ends of the court, and he has led his teams to five NBA Finals appearances in the last 10 years.

Durant, Curry and Davis are all superstars in their own right, but they have not been able to match James’ level of consistent excellence over the years. Paul is a great point guard but he is not on James’ level as an overall player.

Steph Curry is the best point guard in the NBA

Curry led the Golden State Warriors to an NBA Championship in 2015 and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player He is a two-time All-Star and was named the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2014-15.

Russell Westbrook is the best shooting guard in the NBA

In today’s NBA, point guards like Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook are dominant forces both offensively and defensively. While Curry is widely considered the best point guard in the NBA, some analysts believe that Westbrook is the best shooting guard

Westbrook averaged 27.4 points, 8.6 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game during the 2014-2015 season. He was also named to the All-NBA First Team and was a finalist for the MVP Award

What sets Westbrook apart from other Shooting Guards is his versatility. He is an excellent defender and can guard all positions on the court. Offensively, he is a dynamic scorer who can shoot from anywhere on the court. He is also a great playmaker and is always looking to set up his teammates for easy baskets.

There is no doubt that Westbrook is one of the best players in the NBA today With his combination of scoring, playmaking, and defense, he has what it takes to lead his team to victory night after night.

Kevin Durant is the best small forward in the NBA

Kevin Durant is the best small forward in the NBA, followed closely by Lebron James and then Paul George. Durant is an incredible scorer and an improving defender, while James is the most complete player in the league and a motivated leader. George is a two-way superstar who can take over a game on both ends of the floor. Other notable small forwards include Carmelo Anthony Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler

Anthony Davis is the best Power Forward in the NBA

As the 2014-2015 NBA season comes to an end, there have been many Great players who have shined and established themselves as some of the best in the league. One player who has done this and solidified himself at the top of his position is Anthony Davis Davis, who plays for the New Orleans Pelicans is widely considered to be the best power forward in the NBA.

There are a few other players who could make a case for being considered the best power forward such as LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers or Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers However, Davis has had a breakout season and has established himself as one of the best players in the league, regardless of position.

A big part of what makes Davis so special is his unique combination of size and athleticism. At 6’10”, he has the size to battle with other big men in the post, but he also has the speed and agility to keep up with smaller players on the perimeter. This makes him a tough matchup for opposing teams, as they often don’t have anyone who can guard him both inside and outside.

In addition to his physical gifts, Davis is also an excellent scorer and rebounder. He currently averaging 24.4 points per game and 10.2 rebounds per game both of which are among the best in the league. He is also block 2.9 shots per game, which is good for second in the NBA.

With his combination of size, athleticism, and skill, it’s no wonder that Anthony Davis is considered to be one of the best players in the NBA. He has already established himself as one of the top power forwards in recent memory, and it looks like he will only continue to get better in years to come.

DeAndre Jordan is the best center in the NBA

This is a bold claim, and one that will certainly be met with some skepticism and disagreement, but I believe that DeAndre Jordan is the best center in the NBA. There are a few people who could make a case for being in the conversation (e.g. Marc Gasol Hassan Whiteside), but I think that Jordan is the clear cut top guy.

Here are some of the things that set Jordan apart from the competition:

-He is an elite rim protector, averaging 2.3 blocks per game last season
-He is an excellent rebounder, averaging 13.8 rebounds per game last season (4th in the NBA)
-He has greatly improved his offensive game, averaging 10.4 points per game last season while shooting an impressive 71.4% from the field

So there you have it, my case for why DeAndre Jordan is the best center in the NBA. Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments below!
