LeBron James is without a doubt one of the greatest players the league has ever seen, and many people refer to him as the GOAT. James, who is currently 38 years old, is still a brilliant NBA talent who helped the LA Lakers to notable victories while he was a member of the squad.
He guided the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals last year, but they were ultimately defeated by the Denver Nuggets, who went on to win the NBA Championship. Austin Rivers just revealed his ranking of the top seven players in the league right now. He unexpectedly ranked James seventh, but he explained why in his reasoning.
“My best seven would be,” “(Nikola) Jokic one, Giannis (Antetokounmpo) two, Steph (Curry) three. I’m gonna go Luka (Doncic) four. I’m putting (Joel) Embiid five, (Jayson) Tatum six, LeBron (James) seven. Those are my best seven players in the NBA. “The LeBron one could be questionable for a lot of people, just at his age right now. But, like, he’s just still so dominant in the game. Went to the conference finals last year, just because he decided to will that team there. They had no business going there.”
Despite praising LeBron, Rivers praised the Lakers’ executive office for their shrewd midseason adjustments.
“They did, but he still carries that team,” . “Like, it’s still his team. They went to the conference finals again. They beat the Warriors. It’s ridiculous. … You’re asking who’s the best seven right now? Based off of what I saw this past season, LeBron is still top seven in the NBA.”
Austin Rivers names his top 7 players in the NBA currently :
1. Nikola Jokic
