US media reorders the top ten NBA stars of this century: Kobe is third, and James is at the top of the list without any suspense

Since the NBA entered the 2000s, basketball play has become more and more modern, and many super stars have emerged. Many people say that the NBA will only become truly entertaining after 2000. Not long ago, the US media HoopsHype also reordered the top ten NBA stars of this century. Let’s take a look at who they are!

10: Wade

Wade is the best player of the Heat, but he is only ranked tenth. The main reason is that Wade does not have an MVP, and his form has also declined severely in the late stages of his career. However, at his peak, he was the top spot in the league. The best proof was that he led the Heat to the championship and gained FMVP in 2006. Later, in 2012 and 2013, he also won the championship twice in a row, and was called the Flash by many fans.

9: Nowitzki

Nowski is a famous star in the history of the Mavericks, and he is also the best player in the history of the Mavericks. In 2007, he won the MVP and led the team to the first championship in the history of the team in 2011. He has a very high status in the Mavericks, and even the team's boss Cuban and he are both good friends in private. At the same time, Nowitzki is also one of the NBA's 30,000-point gentlemen, and he ranks ninth, which is actually a low.

8: Paul

Paul is one of the few old-school point guards in the NBA today. He is also the best point guard in the minds of many people. Paul often plays games with double assists and zero mistakes, which is also the ultimate performance he shows on the court as the point guard. Paul ranked second in the MVP list in 2007-08, second only to Kobe. Moreover, as a small point guard who is 183, Paul has a very strong defensive ability. Seven defenses and six steals are the best proof, but his only regret is that he does not have a championship.

7: Garnett

As a power forward player, Garnett is also an all-round fighter in the hearts of many people. The main reason is that he can do too many things on the court. He can perform perfectly on both offense and defense. In 2004, he also beat Duncan to win the MVP trophy. In the 2007-08 season, he also won the DPOY honor and won the championship that season. He was also one of the best power forwards in the NBA in the 2000s.

Six: O'Neal

O'Neal helped the team win three consecutive championships in the Lakers at his peak, and he won three consecutive FMVPs in a row. In this achievement, O'Neal was second only to Jordan. He is also recognized as the most dominant center in the NBA. Many teams have no choice but to use inefficient foul tactics to target him. This is his unsolvable point. The star who can make such a headache in the entire league is also worthy of the honor of a NBA historical star.

5: Curry, as the NBA's three-pointer in history, is actually a bit low. As a player who accelerates the NBA's entry into the small ball era with his own strength, Curry's performance on the court is obvious to all. In the 15-16 season, he scored 402 three-pointers in a single season and led the Warriors to a record 73 wins and 9 losses. That year, he won the MVP trophy without any suspense and was the only unanimous MVP in NBA history. This is enough to show how strong his performance is. Moreover, Curry led the Warriors to 7 years and 4 championships in 2015-22, and he is also the best player in the Warriors' history.

4: Durant

Durant is one of the 30,000 points in the NBA. His scoring ability can be said to be at the historical level. He has won the scoring champion four times in his career, ranking first among active players. He also led the Warriors to win two consecutive championships in 2017 and 2018, and won the FMVP twice in a row, second only to James among active players. Durant has unsolved scoring ability on the court. He is not as good as him, he is not as good as him, and he is not as good as him, and he is not as good as him, so he is not as good as him to shoot correctly. This is his unsolvable point. After all, he is a star at the historical level of the NBA.

3: Kobe

Kobe spent 20 seasons in his career with the Lakers, and his story is also quite inspiring. From a substitute at the beginning of his career to the first person in the Lakers' history, Kobe's efforts exceeded many people's imagination. He was able to perform very well on both offense and defense, entering the first team 11 times in his career and entering the first defense 9 times. On the court, his offense and defensive oppression are top-notch. This is also the key reason why he was able to help the Lakers win the championship five times, and he is also the best in the history of the Lakers.

2: Duncan

Duncan is actually the most low-key superstar in NBA history. He led the team to win the championship in 19 seasons in his career, won the FMVP three times, and had two MVP achievements. However, Duncan's personality is very low-key, and he hardly emphasized how strong he is, which also made many people ignore Duncan's ability. Duncan's style of playing without showing off on the court has also helped the Spurs become one of the longest-green teams in the league. For any team, players of Duncan's level are basically the first choice no matter when.

1: James

Since entering the NBA in 2003, James has always been a top star in the league, and has not performed well in a season. Even at the age of 40, he can still get 24+7+8 per game per game, and even occupy a place in the MVP list. This is something that other stars of the NBA of the same age have never done.

, and James won the championship four times in his career, FMVP four times, and even MVP four times. His total score in the regular season has long exceeded 40,000 points. These are all unattainable existences for young players, and he is also a well-deserved superstar.
