Who is the best in the NBA? Alexander emerged as the focus

Who is the strongest current NBA star? Antetokounmpo? Jokic? Or is there someone else? This topic is like the popular American dramas every year. There will always be new plots and will never be guessed!

Many foreign media have recently discussed who is the real "number one" in the NBA today. Someone called Antetokounmpo, after all, his average score in this year's playoffs was as high as 33.0 points, which was quite explosive. Back then, with his historical physical talent, Antetokounmpo rushed around the league and had a huge dominance. But time is unforgiving. Now at the age of 30, he has restrained his playing style and his mentality has also changed. In addition, his fatal shortcomings have not been filled, and his dominance has declined a lot. Can he still sit firmly on the "strongest" throne? This has to be a big question mark!

Jokic, that is also a tough guy. On the offensive end, he is almost omnipotent, and his regular season data is extremely gorgeous, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, and his high-level data is also top-notch. But this year, he lost to Alexander in the MVP competition, which is very interesting. Perhaps, in today's era, Jokic is not the undisputed strongest person.

Speaking of Alexander, that is the biggest "dark horse" this year! In the regular season, he averaged 32.7 points per game, shot 51.9% from the field, and his scoring ability was so exaggerated that it was shocking. For three consecutive seasons, Jordan averaged 30 points per game and shot over 50% of the field goal percentage. Looking at NBA history, only Jordan has done it among the guards. This season, he also scored more than 50 points in a single game in four times, and his explosive power is so terrifying! Who knew that he, who used to be known for his stable score, suddenly opened his firepower this year. Although his athletic ability is not top-notch and his offensive methods are not many, he has a lot of tricks, and his shooting is terrible in the middle distance. His breakthrough and killing ability is even more amazing. Relying on his super core strength, he can always twist his body and take action at the basket and create fouls to score.

In addition to scoring, Alexander is also first-class in leading the team. Under his leadership, the Thunder won 68 and lost 14, breaking the team history record, ranked first in the Western Conference in the regular season for two consecutive years, and reached the finals this year's playoffs. No one dares to say that the Thunder is a "pseudo-strong team" who only knows how to play in the regular season. Just look at the first two games of the finals, Alexander scored 38 points and 34 points respectively in two games, combining offense and defense, breaking multiple records, becoming the first player in history to score more than 70 points in the first two finals. He is also tied for the first time with James and Jordan, with 30 points and 5 assists in 11 single games in the playoffs. This performance is amazing!

Recalling the 2019th, the Thunder sent Paul George to the Clippers in exchange for Alexander and others and a bunch of draft picks. Who would have thought that this deal made the Thunder a lot of money and Alexander became a superstar who was even better than George. Now, salary experts analyzed that after Alexander was selected for a while, he was eligible to sign a super maximum salary. He is likely to reach a five-year, sky-high contract renewal with the Thunder this summer at about 300 million US dollars. If the Thunder wins the championship this year, it might really be able to start a blue dynasty and rule the league in the next few seasons.

At the moment, the finals are still continuing, and the legend of Alexander and the Thunder is still being written. Can he lead the team to win the championship and truly establish his position as the number one player in the league? Every game that follows is crucial. Is Alexander continuing to create miracles, or is it that other stars come from behind? There will never be a shortage of surprises in this NBA stage, let's wait and see!
