As for ranking the best NBA basketball players of the moment, it’s hard to get everyone to agree. But the Top 25 of a big American media literally set the web ablaze, with a notable absentee from the top three who enraged Internet users.
Given the huge pool of stars on the court, putting them in order to determine the best of them is quite a headache. The Ringer however, recently tried the experiment with a result that made people talk about it. Their Top 25 sees in particular LeBron James dropping to 10th place, probably a first for him. But that’s not even the most controversial ranking here.

Nothing shocks you in this ranking? Among the favorites for the MVP this year and author of a campaign with more than 33 points and 10 rebounds on average, Joel Embiid is however only 6th behind Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant in particular. In view of the current season, this is a rather incomprehensible choice and without much surprise, Philly fans have literally unpinned!

This ranking: “Horrible. Dog shit. »
Not putting Joel Embiid on the podium of the best players in the league when he is a real candidate for the MVP, it’s daring. But then take him out of the Top 5… No wonder the Cameroonian’s fans pulled out the pitchforks. This could bring a little more motivation to the star of the Sixers.
