LeBron James is currently one of the rare players who possesses a diverse set of skills and can undertake many tasks on the field at the same time.
After 17 years of playing at the top level, LeBron James gradually improved himself to become the most comprehensive player in the league. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is still playing at the highest level even though he is 35 years old. |
Even though he is a powerful player under the basket, James can still shoot accurately from outside the 3-point range. James is the type of player who can regulate the game with a comprehensive vision and ability to create that is not inferior to any defender. |
If James is a complete player in all aspects, Kevin Durant shows perfect scoring skills of a rare type in history. The 32-year-old superstar has a wide range of activities when he can score from outside the 3-point range, mid-range positions to close to the basket. |
Durant’s rare talent contributed to helping the Golden State Warriors absolutely dominate the tournament for about 2 years. He won 2 championships and 2 Finals MVP titles (Best player in the final series) in 3 seasons with the Warriors. |
The rapid growth in height during his high school years contributed to helping Anthony Davis become the most comprehensive player in the league. The 27-year-old star initially played as a coordinating defender (PG), but growing to a giant height forced him to switch to being a big man (a tall player who works under the basket). |
Davis is considered one of the most comprehensive big men in history as he can score from under the basket to outside the 3-point range, defend firmly and play as a perimeter player in many situations. Davis’ appearance helps the Lakers become the leading force in the league. |
Kawhi Leonard is considered the player with the most similarities to Michael Jordan among contemporary basketball stars. He shows great influence in attack and defense every time he is on the field. |
Leonard is famous for his comprehensive defense ability when he can cover every position. However, he is also one of the top scorers in the tournament with diverse finishing skills in many positions. |
Having just spent his second season in the NBA, Luka Doncic immediately rose to the ranks of the league’s biggest stars. Doncic’s comprehensive basketball skill set and unique mindset can score points against any solid defense in the NBA. |
“For me, Luka Doncic is the most talented basketball player”, Paul Pierce gave kind words to the Slovenian star on ESPN ‘s “The Jump”. Meanwhile, James also praised the 21-year-old talent: “Doncic is definitely a great talent. I like his playing style”. |
Winning 2 MVP titles (Best Player) in 2 consecutive seasons has proven how great Giannis Antetokounmpo’s talent is. Even Antetokounmpo is one of the rare players who can win the MVP and DPOY (Best Defensive Player of the Year) titles at the same time in one season. |
Antetokounmpo is the type of player who dominates the area under the basket with an aggressive style of play and scores mainly from this position. In addition, the Greek star possesses good passing ability and can take on coordinating duties when necessary. Antetokounmpo’s only weakness is his poor 3-point shooting ability. |
Jimmy Butler is among the most versatile players in the league at the moment. From a player who was extremely good at defending in the early years of his career, Butler rose to become the top scorer in the league at the present time. |
Similar to Antetokounmpo, Butler is not good at shooting 3-pointers, but is an excellent scorer near the basket. “Every young player in this league should study the way Jimmy Butler plays,” Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstr assessed Butler. |
‘Michael Jordan does not face the same pressure as LeBron James’Legend Magic Johnson affirmed that Michael Jordan does not face the same great pressure as LeBron James is experiencing. |
Anthony Davis is ready to continue playing despite his more serious injuryThe Los Angeles Lakers star revealed his heel injury became worse after colliding with Andre Iguodala. |
