One of the hottest topic going to 2021-22 NBA seasons is the ‘Best Player’ in the NBA right now. Some said that Kevin Durant is the best player in today’s NBA. Vince Carter even said that KD is ready to take over the league right now while Magic Johnson called LeBron James “the greatest player in the game today”.
Meanwhile former NBA champion and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins has a different pick. The former Celtic said that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the world right now.
Two-time MVP, Defensive Player of the Year in the same year. Joins the company of Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. And what was the knock on Giannis? That he did not complete the mission. But now that he has not only completed it, he dominated. Down 0-2, coming back, winning four straight, averaging 35, 13, 6 assists along with 1.5 blocks in the Finals. And let’s not talk about game six…
I talked to six general managers… I said “If you were starting a franchise today, who would you take?” Each one of them said Giannis Antetokounmpo… I We have to deal with this brother for the next 10 years. Six of those years, he is going to dominate the league and be the most dominant player, which might put him in the category of being the best player in the league over the next five to six years. The last four of those years on the backend, he’s going to have a really good four years… Right now, after Giannis won the championship along with the Finals MVP, I think it’s only fair to start the season with him at No. 1
Giannis is fresh off winning NBA championship and Finals MVP and some portrayed him as the best player in the NBA right now after his dominant performance during the 2021 NBA Finals. Giannis even received five out of ten possible votes from anonymous NBA executives and scouts. He was tied with KD.
