With the continuous evolution of the NBA, the selection of major awards has also changed a lot in rules, and the selection of the best team no longer requires the definition of position. The best team this season has also caused quite a lot of controversy. James Curry entered the second team and Harden's selection of the third team has caused quite a lot of discussion. So what is the strongest lineup in the 21st century in the new century? The US media also line up a lineup, let’s take a look. The three formations are Paul, Harden, Antetokounmpo, King Nothing and Howard. Although Paul has no championship or great honors in his career, his data accumulation is still terrifying. He is second in the assists and steals list in history, and he is also one of the point guards with the most best defense teams in history. Harden also had no championship, which led to not receiving enough recognition, but he was undoubtedly the league's number one point guard at his peak, and he won the MVP and three scoring champions in his career.

Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in history with offense and defense. He has also won MVP and the best defensive player in a single season. He is undoubtedly one of the best players in the league today. Nowitzki is only in the third team. As one of the most influential foreign players in NBA history, he is the sixth in total score in his career and won the single-core championship. Howard still has enough talent, but has not reached enough height, won the best defensive player and reached the finals. The second teams are Nash, Wade, Durant, Garnett and Jokic. Nash's career statistics are not as good as Paul, but he has two regular season MVPs, which can be said to be Curry before the small ball era. Wade is recognized as the third point guard in history, with FMVP and 3 championships, and also played the first-ever efficiency value in the finals in history in 2006, and has no one to break.

In terms of scoring ability, Durant is undoubtedly the top ten or even top five in history. He has won four scoring champions in his career and has two championships, but it is considered that it is not valuable enough. Garnett beat King No to enter the second team and is the most comprehensive power forward in history. He has his own defensive system and is selected for the first defense nine times. Jokic's selection does not mean that he is the first player in the world, winning MVP three times in four years, and averaging triple-double this season, the first non-guard player to do it. The best teams of the 21st century are: Curry, Kobe, James, Duncan and O'Neal. Basically, except for Curry, the other four are among the top ten in history. Curry is the best player in the small ball era and the number one scorer in history, which has promoted the development of basketball. If he can win another championship, he will have the chance to enter the top ten discussions. Kobe was the most influential player in the 2000s, supporting the post-Jordan era, combining offense and defense, and the closest player to Jordan in history.

James' historical status has undoubtedly been locked in the top two, and in the eyes of many people, James is already the first in NBA history. The top scorer in history, the only player with 40,000 points + 10,000 assists + 10,000 rebounds, is the longest river in history. In the position of power forward, Duncan is undoubtedly the first in history. He has never missed the playoffs in his career and won five championships. O'Neal is the most dominant center in history. His dominance in his peak era is indeed at the top three levels in history, and he has achieved a three-game FMVP.
