Basketball relies too much on talent, especially in the NBA. Your talent determines which level you play at. You say hard work, everyone works hard and endures hardships, but the effect of the competition is really completely different. Basically, those who are dominant are all talented people. This is the sad fact. NBA players are more talented now. Compared with 10 and 20 years ago, the improvement is really obvious. Today we will rearrange the five most talented monsters currently in service, and each of them will be rewarded by God.
5 - Bunyama
Bunyama is a "model monster", with the height and wingspan of the center, the speed of the forward, and the shooting of the guard. In this era, he really has no solution. Even if he is not playing at the basket, he can easily average 20+10 per game. His skills are immature now and his body is still improving. He is already able to dominate just by relying on his talent. There has never been a model like him before. As long as he can stay healthy, Bunyama's upper limit is immeasurable.
4 - Embiid
Many people don't know that Embiid first played football and only started playing basketball when he was 15 years old. Many of his skills at the basket were self-taught by watching Olajuwon videos. Now that he is an MVP and a scoring champion, it is basically self-taught. This basketball talent, if it is fully maxed out, whether it is learning ability, static or dynamic, it is perfect. Now Embiid has become a superstar, especially on the offensive end, he can attack with the ball from the three-point line, which is rare in history. Now that he is troubled by injuries, he is only one championship away from becoming a god.
3 - Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo's current style of play is a talent-based style. Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as high as him. The technique is still rough, but the physical advantage is obvious. He still averages 30 points per game and wins the MVP and championship. He took full advantage of his physical advantages. In this era, he is O'Neal. If he can develop his shooting, the league will really be over.
2 - Durant
The height of the center, the speed of the forward, the ball control and shooting of the defender, we are talking about Durant. In the early days, various indiscriminate singles at position 3 were said to be overwhelming by skills, but in fact they were dominated by talent. After suffering a serious Achilles tendon injury, he can still average 25 points per game. This is because his talent is too good. Similarly, Kobe Bryant, a great offensive killer, suffered a severe Achilles tendon injury and plummeted. Durant is still killing everyone because he is too talented. If he lacks a little bit of talent, maybe Durant has retired.
1 - James
cannot be surpassed at the top of the list, it must be James. Every talent you can think of, whether dynamic or static, James is top-notch. He is the ultimate template for a modern basketball player. He has height, speed, tonnage, strength, almost no injuries, high golf IQ, and strong learning ability, which has allowed him to perform stably for 20 years. At the age of 39, he can still average 25+8+8 per game. This state is unique in history.
