Before the start of the season, The Athletic conducted a questionnaire survey of 118 former NBA players and invited them to express their views on today's league, and today the media released the survey report. On the question of "who will be the first person in the league in five years", Alphabet Brother got 28.2% of the vote, ranking first.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a championship in the 2020–21 season. It's clear that he's one of the best players in the league right now. In addition to him, Curry and Durant are also very good. But in a few years, the NBA's landscape will certainly be very different. These top players will be in a slump as they get older. At that time, Alphabet Brother is expected to become the first in the NBA.
In The Athletic's survey, quite a few retired NBA players acknowledged this. It was even mentioned that as long as Brother Alphabet practiced a three-pointer, he would become unstoppable.
'Alphabet Brother will still be the best player because he's still improving at his peak. — A player who played for the NBA in the mid-1980s.
"His three-pointer will improve and it's unstoppable." — Players of the 1990s
"Now no one can stop him, he can only get better. He will win more championships. — A mid-1970s player
"He's a competitor who recognizes his weaknesses and is working to perfect them." —Riche Galen, Hall of Fame point guard, played for the New York Knicks and St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks in 1956–70
There's no doubt that Giannis Antetokounmpo certainly has the talent to be the league's top player, and he's known for his hard work in the offseason. If he develops a passing three-point shooting ability, it will be difficult for defenders to stop him.
Alphabet Brother's shooting is certainly a long way off, though, as he's only 28 percent shooting from outside the three-point line this season. Even so, Alphabet Brother still dominates the field. Giannis Antetokounmpo is already a fantastic player, but his ability to play is likely to improve further in the future.
