US media divides the 15 most powerful players in active service: Curry has four tiers, James has no tiers, Jokic has the only tier

In recent seasons, the NBA has been reshuffled by new and old forces. Some young players have gradually entered the center of the stage, while previous superstars have gradually come behind the scenes. This season's NBA playoffs are the best proof. Recently, famous Bill Simmons selected the pyramid of the 15 most powerful NBA players and divided them into the tiers. Let’s take a look at who they are!

Fifth level: (CC, AD, Towns, Mobri, Javier)

There are five players in the fifth level, first of all, Cunningham. The Pistons' record this season is not a little bit better than last season. Cunningham's performance can be said to be an indelible contribution. His attributes of holding the ball and the core are gradually starting to play. Under his sorting, the team's offense seems to be well organized. I believe that he will lead the Pistons to a larger stage in the future, which is also the beginning of Cunningham's peak. Next is Thick Eyebrow. Thick Eyebrow has experienced a trading storm this season. After coming to the Mavericks, he has not played many games due to injury, but no one would doubt the instant combat power of the Peak Thick Eyebrow. He is the top inside line in the league on both offense and defense. As the core center of the Knicks, Towns also showed his tough side to everyone after coming to the Knicks this season. There is nothing to be criticized for his performance in the playoffs. When he came to the Eastern Conference Finals, he is also one of the best centers this season. Next is Mobley of the Cavaliers. As the best defensive player of the season, Mobley plays a very comprehensive role on the court, and can help the team well on both ends of the offense and defense. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers fell on the stage of the Eastern Conference semi-finals due to injury. Then there is Jaylen Williams. As the second in command of the Thunder, he is also the best helper around Alexander. The Thunder's performance is also very critical for Jaylen's performance to reach the finals.

The fourth level (Curry, Mitchell, Halliburton, Brunson)

The fourth level players are all young people except Curry. Curry has also performed very perfectly this season. He carried the Warriors forward in the regular season and completed the Black Seven in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, Curry failed to play in the Western Conference semi-finals due to injury, and the team eventually fell on the stage of the Western Conference semi-finals. Next is Mitchell. In order to adapt to the changes in the team, he reduced his shots this season. The Cavaliers overall played a perfect regular season performance. In the playoffs, Mitchell was still able to carry the team forward with an injury, but even if he had 30 consecutive years, it would not help the team advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. I hope he can make a comeback in the future.

Hariburton is the most surprising player in the NBA playoffs this season. He led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs. He also showed what a new generation of point guards is. Not only can he organize and connect, but he can also shoot key balls. This season is also the best opportunity for the Pacers to return to the finals. Halliburton has indeed made an indelible contribution. Finally, there is Brunson. As the abandoned son of the Mavericks, he led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals after more than 20 years. Now he is the number one defender in the Eastern Conference, and he is absolutely super huge.

The third level (Huazi, Dongzi, Wenban)

Edwards still scored into the Western Conference Finals this season, but his performance in the Western Conference Finals did not satisfy many people. It was mainly because he failed to lead the team to perform better than Alexander. However, Edwards' performance in the first two rounds was impeccable, and he was indeed the best among young people. Doncic's performance in the regular season this season is still great, but he was unable to lead the Lakers to break through the first round due to poor defense in the playoffs. I believe that Dongzi can lead the Lakers further after losing weight in the offseason. Although Wenban only played for one and a half seasons, the abilities he showed were completely phenomenal. There is no doubt about this. I believe that in the future, he will be the most feared inside unicorn in the league.

Second level (Alexander, Antetokounmpo)

Alexander has been the best defender player in the league in the past two seasons. This season, he finally won the MVP trophy and led the Thunder to return to the finals after 13 years. This season, the Thunder also performed its unique offensive and defensive performance. I believe that Alexander can lead the Thunder to regain his past glory. As the strongest player in the league, Antetokounmpo's ability to protect his bottom line is excellent. Even though the Bucks were at the bottom of the league at the beginning of the season, he was able to lead the team to the NBA Cup championship, mainly because his success rate of playing in the inside was too high, and almost no players could defend him.

First level (Jokic)

Jokic As a three-time MVP player, even though he still stopped in the Western Conference semi-finals this season, he still won the respect of fans.

Average triple-double this season also made his best personal performance in his career. Jokic is currently the only player in the league, and he is definitely a center in the NBA history level.
