Before each start of the season, several large sites take the opportunity to establish a ranking of the best current players. The Ringer was no exception, except that LeBron James’ placement in this top 25 sparked outrage from many. Extra motivation for the King.
38 years old or not, LeBron James has been impressive with the Lakers this season. If he is no longer THE best, the King is among the biggest players today, even if the supporters hope that Anthony Davis will take control of the attack this season. Nevertheless, we must believe that the site The Ringer was not impressed that much by the prowess of the native of Akron.
LeBron James snubbed again
It’s a bit of a tradition in the NBA, before the start of a new campaign: to rank the best current players. The Ringer therefore published a top 25 recently, where Nikola Jokic is at the top ahead of Stephen Curry. Nothing crazy there, but it’s James’ place that is widely debated. The latter is not even in the top 10.
The Ringer’s player rankings:
1. Nikola Jokic
2. Stephen Curry
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo
4. Kevin Durant
5. Joel Embiid
6. Jayson Tatum
7. Luka Doncic
8. Kawhi Leonard
9. Jimmy Butler
10. Devin Booker
11. Anthony Davis
12. LeBron James
13. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

After the hug, Lionel Messi’s message for LeBron James!
There are a lot of people there for the Top 5, but not LeBron, who finds himself in 12th position behind Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard or even Jayson Tatum. A rather surprising outing when we see more closely the performances of James, still at the top with his Angelinos. Many supporters shared their anger in comments.
These are old, but yeah, that LeBron ranking is a joke… he’s still around the top 5, leadership & winning matter

LeBron being outside the top 10 makes this entire list invalid

The fact that LeBron is outside the top 10 renders this entire list invalid.
LeBron James remains one of the best players in the league, 38 or not. To see him outside the top 10 is pretty crazy, even if the next generation is already there in the NBA. There is no doubt that the King will use this kind of ranking to motivate themselves a little more next year.
