Basketball has millions of fanatical fans around the world, and the ranking of the greatest players in basketball history has always been a hot topic of discussion. Recently, a well-known American sports media has predicted and ranked the historical status of active players after retirement based on their career performance, which has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions.
In this ranking prediction, 10 current stars are considered to be in the top 30 of basketball history, including Kevin Durant (KD) and Stephen Curry. These two superstars are undoubtedly the best players in the NBA today, and their outstanding performances and achievements are unmatched.
Kevin Durant has won 2 championships, 2 Finals MVPs, 1 regular season MVP and many other honors in his career. He averaged 27.2 points per game and is a recognized scorer in the league. And KD's offensive means are superb and changeable, whether it is a mid-range shot, a three-point shot or a breakthrough layup, it is a must. His career continues, and he is expected to achieve more in the future.
Stephen Curry is hailed as the leader of the "three-point revolution" that changed the NBA. He is one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history, hitting a whopping 13 three-pointers in a single game. Curry is averaging 24.6 points and 6.5 assists per game, and his offensive dominance is very strong. He has won four championships and two regular season MVPs, and if he maintains his form, he will be able to break many more records in the future.
Fans have mixed opinions about this predicted ranking. Proponents believe that KD and Curry are indeed superior and fully qualified to be among the top 10 all-time. They have dominated the league for many years and have had a huge impact on the NBA, making them deservedly become the new generation of basketball icons.
However, there are also many opponents who believe that KD and Curry, despite their achievements, are still too early to break into the top 10 of all time, and that they will need to maintain a high level of performance in the coming years. After all, there have been many legendary superstars who have left a strong mark on the NBA court before them, and it is not easy to surpass them.
In addition to the current stars, the ranking also named several new top players who believe they may become a new generation of basketball legends in the future. For example, 2022 No. 1 pick Jalen Green, who averaged 21.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, is one of the best rookies in the new season. 2023 No. 1 pick Victor Wiggins is considered a promising interior shooter with accurate shots on the offensive end and an all-out finish on the defensive end. These rising stars have high hopes and are expected to make their mark in the league in the coming years.
Whether this ranking is accurate or not, it has sparked a lively discussion among fans about the greatest players in basketball history. It remains to be seen who will be the next "God of Basketball". Perhaps one day in the future, a new legend will rise to the occasion and rewrite the history of the NBA and become an eternal icon in the hearts of fans. The game of basketball is constantly evolving, and a new era is giving rise to new heroes, and we have reason to believe that even more exciting basketball moments are coming.
