We are now just literally days away from the new NBA season.
That means that after months of speculation and rumor, the players of the league will be able to prove themselves and start the fight for the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
There are many fantastic players in the league and the race for MVP has never been so competitive.
Bleacher Report’s top 10 players in the NBA:
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Nikola Jokic
3. Luka Doncic
4. Stephen Curry
5. Kevin Durant
6. Joel Embiid
7. Jayson Tatum
8. LeBron James
9. Kawhi Leonard
10. Ja Morant— NBACentral (@TheNBACentral) October 14, 2022
But there are a few who rise above the rest.
Bleacher Report ranked the league and then listed the top ten players of the NBA just days ahead of tip-off.
Ja Morant, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and Joel Embiid sit in spots ten through six.
And the top five consist of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Bleacher Report isn’t the only outlet praising Antetokounmpo and expecting great things from him in 2022-23.
Does he have what it takes to win MVP again and lead his team to the Finals?
Race For The Top In The NBA
The league hasn’t been this good in a very long time.
This top ten list compiled by Bleacher Report is filled with future Hall of Famers who could all win the Finals and MVP.
And there are so many other amazing players who didn’t even make the list.
That’s what happens when the NBA is just that impressive.
Still, there can only be one championship team in the end.
Many are predicting the Milwaukee Bucks will do great things again and return to the NBA Finals after a couple of seasons away.
But their road to the end of the postseason won’t be easy.
Both the Eastern and Western Conferences are primed for serious competition.
Antetokounmpo might be an odds-on favorite for many but the rest of the league won’t go down without a fight.
