Durant is at the top of the list of the three media, which naturally proves his super strength today. Durant currently leads the Nets to no. 1 in the East, and he has contributed 51 points and 30+ triple-doubles in the last two games, proving his super strength.
As for James, who is ranked No. 2 in the survey of retired players, and he has scored 30+ points in six of his last 8 games, it is also a proof that his sword is not old. As for Alphabet Brother being ranked 3rd, he led the Bucks to the championship last season and won too many MVP bonus points in the Finals.
Curry is ranked 4th, and this season Curry is currently no. 3 on the scoring list and No. 1 on the three-point list, just crowned the NBA's all-time three-pointer, and led the Warriors to the first place in the league, making him the number one favorite of the regular season MVP. As for Embiid and Jokic 5-6 respectively, their performance this season is also quite good, especially Jokic is more powerful.
Butler is plagued by recent injuries, Leonard and Zion have not yet appeared this season due to injuries, and Westbrook is predicted to be in 9th place, and there is no doubt that his performance this season is not enough to rank in such a position.
