Around this time every year, many influential media release their Top 100 players list. And for the first time since 2013, LeBron James is no longer at the top of Sports Illustrated’s Top 100 NBA players ranking. Regular season MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo overtook the top spot, leaving James at No. 3, as Kawhi Leonard also rises to No. 2.
A great recognition for the Greek Freak, who had a stunning season with the Milwaukee Bucks ending in MVP honors.
The Top 20 of the list is completed by fellow Euros Nikola Jokic (8) and Rudy Gobert (14) and goes as follows.
20. Kemba Walker
19. Blake Griffin
18. Al Horford
17. Draymond Green
16. Lamarcus Aldridge
15. Kyrie Irving
14. Rudy Gobert
