Every era of the NBA will have its own unique basketball superstars, and every era will have the best stars. For example, Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant and Curry, etc., today, Lao Zhan is 39 years old, Curry is 36 years old, Durant is 35 years old, these superstars have become the oldest stars in the league. The representatives of the strongest stars in the league, Jokic of the Nuggets, Brother Alphabet of the Bucks, Embiid of the 76ers, and Doncic of the Mavericks, are all stars in their playing years. In the regular season and playoffs, who is the strongest star in the league? No. 1 in the league! No. 1 in the league! The strongest star in the NBA is released, and the most dominant team is born.
In this year's regular season, Jokic, Alexander, and Doncic have always been the top three on the list, followed by Brother Alphabet, and Embiid was not enough to select MVP and the best team due to injury problems. Jokic averaged 26.4 points + 12.4 rebounds + 9.0 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.9 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 58.3% from the field. Alexander averaged 30.1 points + 5.5 rebounds + 6.2 assists + 2.0 steals + 0.9 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 53.5% from the field. Doncic's regular season stats: 33.9 points per game (first in the league) + 9.2 rebounds + 9.8 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.5 blocks, shooting 48.7%.
In this year's playoffs, Embiid played in five playoff games, only one of which shot more than 50 percent, the third game with 50 points, and the other four games all shot below 40 percent (not very efficient). Jokic led the Nuggets to a 4-1 win over the Lakers to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Alexander led the Thunder to a 4-0 sweep of the Pelicans to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Edwards led the Timberwolves to a 4-0 sweep of the Suns to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Jokic, Alexander and Edwards are currently the best players in the playoffs.
Doncic's efficiency in the playoffs this year is not very good, he averages 29.0 points + 9.8 rebounds + 8.5 assists + 1.0 steals per game, shooting only 38.6%, and the playoff score has dropped compared to the regular season, and the efficiency has also declined. Alexander averaged 27.2 points + 6.0 rebounds + 5.0 assists + 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs, shooting 47.6% from the field (Alexander's playoff stats, compared to the regular season, are also down). Only Jokic's playoff data is more fierce than the regular season, Jokic averaged 28.2 points + 16.2 rebounds (first in the league) + 9.8 assists (first in the league) + 1.2 steals per game in the playoffs this year, shooting 59.2% from the field.
Jokic is really sharp, scoring consistently and efficiently, grabbing the most rebounds in the league, and having the most pass assists in the league, which is terrifying. Jokic's playoff efficiency is 21.5, which is also the most in the league. From the regular season to the playoffs, Jokic has maintained the most consistent, efficient and versatile stats. Therefore, American media ESPN expert reporters voted that based on the data and performance of the regular season and playoffs, Jokic should be the strongest star in the league and the first person in the comprehensive strength list. The likes of Jokic, Jamal Murray and Porter Jr. are in hot form in the playoffs, and the Nuggets have a good chance of winning the championship this year. NBA experts believe that the Nuggets are the most dominant championship team.
In this playoffs, the three Nuggets players averaged 20+ points per game, Jokic (28.2 points), Murray (23.6 points) and Porter Jr. (22.8 points), and they all shot more than 50% overall, and Aaron Gordon and Pope could occasionally break out. The starting lineup of the Nuggets' Jokic + Murray + Porter Jr. + Aaron Gordon + Pope is really perfect with both offense and defense. Jamal Murray was inconspicuous in the regular season, he didn't even make it to the All-Star, but Murray will explode when he plays the playoffs. In the series between the Nuggets and the Lakers, Jamal Murray G2 and G5 both staged super god kills, this guy's big heart is really strong. Therefore, Jokic + Murray + Porter Jr. are also the Big Three lineup, but many fans don't take them seriously in the regular season, and they often break out crazy in the playoffs.
