8:09pm, 13 September 2025Basketball
As a competitive sports, the ranking of players has always been a topic that cannot be avoided. Today, the American media Clutch Points once again ranked NBA players with a new angle. Among them, Jordan still firmly ranked first, and James' second place was also very stable. Kobe jumped directly to 7th. Curry fell out of the top 10 this time, and his ranking was lower than Durant, which also caused a lot of controversy!
First of all, the latest ranking was initiated by the American media Clutch Points. They have adopted a brand new calculation method. Let’s take a look at the ranking situation here!
ranked 1 to 10 respectively: Jordan scored 1546 points, James scored 1512 points, Jabbar scored 1380 points, Duncan scored 1122 points, Bill Russell scored 1086 points, Magic Johnson scored 1056 points, Kobe scored 1034 points, O'Neal scored 1008 points, Chamberlain scored 922 points, and Larry Bird scored 899 points.
ranked 11th to 20th are: Juliet Irving 893 points, Durant 867 points, Curry 844 points, and Olajuwon 823 points, followed by Karl Malone, Garnett, Nowitzki, Antetokounmpo, David, Robinson, Jerry West 21st to 30th are: Jokic, Oscar Robertson, Paul, Moses Malone, Wade, Leonard, Stockton, Harden, Pettis, and Barkley.
After reading the above rankings, let’s talk about the rules of this ranking. Clutch Points adopts a brand new calculation formula called E-Rank, which involves 23 specific indicators, but these indicators are not announced. They mainly involve five aspects, namely career data, peak performance, league awards and honors, championship contributions, and number of wins.
For the above rankings and some of them, fans have a lot of controversy. Let’s take a look at which rankings are questioned?
First of all, it should be noted that two of them must be put aside, especially for James. Considering that his fan base is very large, no matter where he is ranked, there seems to be people questioning it. However, in terms of scoring today, Jordan has 1546 points, James has 1512 points, and Jabbar, who ranks third, has only 1380 points. From this data, it can be seen that Jordan is very close to James, so here, I will no longer talk about Jordan and James, because no matter whether it is any official official media, Jordan is basically ranked first and James is ranked second. If this is questioned, it will have no meaning.
The following is a ranking given by the US media to find the most controversial point and see if it makes sense.
Is Kobe's ranking inflated?
Kobe was ranked 7th this time, and it can be said that this ranking is his highest. Under normal circumstances, Kobe is called the top 10 goalkeeper in NBA history. Most of the time, he either ranked 9th or 10th, and this time he jumped directly to 7th place and surpassed O'Neal. Let's see what fans say about this?
Kobe's ranking problem is mainly because he surpassed O'Neal. Fans discuss more about O'Neal's core position during the three consecutive championships. Some fans believe that without O'Neal, Kobe would not be able to win three consecutive championships. Some fans also said that Kobe played an important role in the two subsequent championships. In fact, the biggest problem is that O'Neal's peak period is too short!
Judging from Kobe's score, there are only 8 people in this ranking, with scores of more than 1,000 points. One of the reasons why Kobe's ranking is also due to the length of his career. Your peak period is longer than O'Neal, so it is understandable that you have a higher ranking. Should
Durant be ahead of Curry?
This ranking ranked Durant ranked 12th and Curry ranked 13th. Curry overtakes Durant, and many fans also questioned this ranking. Take the champion for example, Curry has 4, while Durant has only 2, so many fans think it is unreasonable to put Durant in front of Curry.
The side that supports Durant in front of Curry believes that in the NBA, there are often people talking about the big and big kings, and they have always been talking about James and Durant. There are also people who say that if Durant is behind Curry, it would be abnormal. The two are not in the same rank at all. Some fans even said that when Durant and Curry played together, Curry was called Brother Durant, so Durant was in front of Curry, which is reasonable.
There are also many fans who firmly believe that Curry should be ahead of Durant, and believe that Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Irving, Booker, Bill and others failed to win the championship. They only won the championship when they were with Curry. From this perspective, Curry led Durant to win the championship. It is obvious that Curry has a greater role and should have a higher ranking.
The most controversial rankings this time are the rankings of Durant and Curry. You said you are right, he said he is right, the side who supports Curry compares the number of champions, and the side who supports Durant compares the number of most valuable players in the finals is really hard to match!
Overall, Kobe's ranking hit a new high this time, and the fans are quite satisfied. After all, the ranking is high, and it makes no sense to be unhappy. Curry even entered the top 10 in the previous ranking, surpassing Kobe. In this ranking, it fell out of the top 10, with great ups and downs, so the controversy is also very controversial. Finally, it is said that if you like a star, you don't necessarily need to have a high ranking. Look at it normally.
