Everyone says that the playoffs are a superstar stage, which is absolutely true. One of the important reasons why the Thunder easily defeated the Timberwolves and successfully entered the finals was that Alexander completely suppressed Anthony Edwards. The situation in the Eastern Conference Finals is similar, with the competition between two top defenders, Tyres Halliburton's personal data being full, and it is also easy to connect the entire team. It is also reliable at critical moments, allowing the Pacers to get the match point.
Now expert Bill Simmons has selected the 15 active superstars, Nikola Jokic is the only one. Although his dominance in the playoffs has declined, he still leads the list and is the unquestionable number one player in the league. As for those veteran stars, only Stephen Curry tied for the fourth place, which is a way to save a little face. Other stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant all failed.
Behind Nikola Jokic are Alexander and "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they are indeed among the top three players in the league today. Shay Gilgers Alexander has won the MVP award and the Thunder has also reached the finals. If he eventually leads the team to win the championship and wins the FMVP award, we will also witness history. As for the ability of "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo, everyone can see it. The Bucks' first round of the game has nothing to do with him. If Giannis Antetokounmpo chooses to leave the team, they will almost be snatched by the entire league. The third level includes Luca Doncic, Anthony Edwards and Victor Vinbanyama, which has caused great controversy. After all, even if Luca Doncic declines a little, the basic market can still be guaranteed. Anthony Edwards performed too poorly in the Western Conference Finals, and often he was dragged away by his teammates. The series seemed to have broken the reputation. As for Victor Vinbanyama, his talent and ceiling are indeed terrible, but apart from the hidden dangers of injury, Victor Vinbanyama has never played in the playoffs, so the ranking is definitely a little higher.
In addition to Stephen Curry, the fourth-level players also include Donovan Mitchell, Teres Halliburton and Bronson, and the latter three are all the best in the backcourts of the Mesozoic. The last fifth player, including Cad Cunningham, Anthony Davis, Jaylen Williams, Evan Mobley and Carl Anthony Towns, obviously any ranking review will cause heated discussion. Do you think the experts are fair and rational?
