Since the 21st century, there have been too many stars in the league, but there are still different grades of gap between stars, and there are very few players who can be called supergiants themselves, let alone the strongest players in the league in a certain period. Recently, the American media has taken stock of the strongest players in each period of the NBA since the 21st century, of which a total of 6 people are on the list, as strong as Curry is also regrettably lost, it is worth mentioning that even O'Neal personally forwarded this list, of course, he himself is naturally on the list.

6. O'Neill (2000-2002)

In the 1999-2000 season, he averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3 blocks per game, won the MVP+ scoring title in the regular season, and led the Lakers to win the championship in the playoffs. However, the Lakers were the most dominant in the 2000-2001 season, when they won the championship with a 15-1 record in the playoffs, while O'Neal averaged 30.4 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.4 blocks per game.

In the 2001-2002 season, O'Neal had a worse regular season, and combined with injuries, he played only 67 games in the regular season that year, and his average of 36.1 minutes per game was also the lowest in the three-game winning streak. But even so, O'Neal still averaged 27.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, and in the playoffs, he averaged 28.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, and with his help, the Lakers also became the first dynasty team in the 21st century.

5. Duncan (2003-2005)

Compared to the other players on this list, Duncan is also the best player in the league at his peak. In the 2002-2003 season, Duncan averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game, and won the MVP for the second consecutive season.

In the 2004-2005 season, Duncan did not get particularly impressive statistics in the regular season, but after opening the playoff mode, Duncan once again played a dominant role on both offensive and defensive ends, and he averaged 23.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks per game throughout the playoffs. Duncan has won 1 MVP + 2 FMVPs in the past three years, and just looking at the honors, you can see straightforwardly that he was the best player at that time.

4. Kobe Bryant (2006-2011)

Since the disbandment of the OK group in 2004, Kobe has become the only star of the Lakers, after missing the playoffs in 2005, Kobe Bryant brought the team back to the playoffs with an average of more than 30+ points per game for two consecutive seasons, Kobe Bryant in this period is a good interpretation of what is true individual heroism, such as 81 points in a single game, and 62 points in the face of the Mavericks in the third quarter more than the opponent's entire team.

In the 2007-2009 season, although Kobe's statistics declined, his playing style was more mature, and his influence in the game did not decrease but increased, and under his leadership, the Lakers also won the first place in the West again, and finally he successfully won the MVP this year. And the Lakers reached the finals for three consecutive years at that time, including the championship in 2009 and 2010, so he was undoubtedly the first person in the league at that time, but it was a bit far-fetched in 2011, when Kobe Bryant played average in the regular season, and was eliminated in the second round due to injuries in the playoffs.

3. James (2012-2019)

James has had a tendency to take over the league since he won his first MVP in 2009, but back-to-back defeats in the Eastern Conference finals and Eastern Conference semifinals have disqualified him from contendering for the first place. After transferring to the Heat in 2010, James suffered a complete failure in his first year, not only failed to be MVP three times in a row, but was reversed by the Mavericks in the finals, and his reputation fell to a low point for a while.

In 2012 and 2013, James won MVP+FMVP for two consecutive seasons, and in the 2012-2013 season, he almost won the DPOY, and since then he has become the undisputed first person in the league. Later, back to the Cavaliers, although James paddled in the regular season, but throughout the season's performance, he still failed to give up the first place easily, he not only led the team to the finals for four consecutive years, but also helped the Cavaliers win the first championship in team history in 2016, although he lost to the Warriors in the next two years, but from the perspective of the field, James is undoubtedly the strongest player, but like Kobe, James is obviously no longer the first person in the league in 2019, and he didn't even make the playoffs that year.

2. Brother Alphabet (2020-2021)

In 2019, Brother Alphabet won his first MVP, and in the 2019-2020 season, he not only defended the MVP, but also won the DPOY at the same time, but unfortunately the Bucks failed to win the championship in the end. However, at that time, Brother Alphabet already had a tendency to become James's successor, and with his age and strength, everyone's expectation at that time was that he would become the face of the league in the next 3-5 years.

In 2021, Brother Alphabet did lead the team to win the championship, but to this day, whether Brother Alphabet was "deliberately stepping up" Irving in the Eastern Conference semifinals can still cause discussion, but the final result must be good for Brother Alphabet and the Bucks, he also won the FMVP, and at that time, his instant combat power must be the strongest player in the league. However, no one expected the Bucks to fall so quickly, not only did they not reach the Finals since, but they were even black-eight in the playoffs last year, which means that the strongest season in the league is only the 2020-2021 season.

1. Jokic (2022-2024)

No one could have imagined that Jokic, as a second-round pick, would reach this height in his career, winning MVP in two consecutive seasons in 2021 and 2022, even if the Nuggets failed to win the championship at that time, he was still the player with the most personal honors in those two years. Jokic lost to Embiid in the regular season MVP race last season, and many began to mock his previous two MVPs, but after the playoffs began, these people were slapped in the face by Jokic's performance.

Jokic averaged 30 points, 13.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game throughout the playoffs, and he helped the Nuggets win the first championship in team history with almost the league's only level of dominance. Jokic won the MVP for the third time in four years this season, and his playoff performance was also the top presence in the league, averaging 28.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, and he was still the best player in the NBA before the Nuggets were eliminated.
