The channel reminded us that even James is human, listing him below Gilgeous-Alexander in its annual ranking of NBA players.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a breakout season in 2022-23, averaging 31.4 points and 5.5 assists per game en route to his first All-Star appearance and first All-NBA selection.On Thursday, ESPN released its final edition of the annual NBArank list, which ranks the top 100 players in the league. The top three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid were no surprise, although Antetokounmpo over Jokic is interesting given what happened in the playoffs.
On a smaller scale, Thursday's rankings were a reminder of that as well. Gilgeous-Alexander is an impressive talent—a fluid and shifty 6-foot-7 lead guard with an explosive first step, elite body control and the ability to get to the rim whenever he wants. He looks to be one of the NBA's best guards for a long time.
