Who are the top 10 Lakers players in ESPN’s NBA rankings?

One of the most anticipated moments before the NBA season starts is seeing the rankings of the best basketball league players in the world from different media outlets.

ESPN is one of the most prestigious outlets in the world, and its rankings often closely follow popular sentiment or analysis from those who know the sport best. The outlet has announced the 10 best NBA players. There are two Los Angeles Lakers basketball players on the list, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

According to ESPN analysis, LeBron James ranks ninth among the best players in the league. And Anthony Davis ranked tenth. Kevin Durant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headline the Purple and Gold’s roster.

In the last harvest, the American media ranked “King James” sixth. In the case of “AD”, he didn’t even crack the top ten players, he was demoted to 20th. This year marks the highest position of the Chicago native’s career.

Despite finishing at the bottom of the top ten, the Los Angeles Lakers are the only team with two players on the roster, which has drawn criticism from some players like Kyrie Irving. According to the New York Post, Irving said: “Who cares? Rankings are meaningless, especially rankings on ESPN or similar platforms, most analysts do not have reliable sources. I have no respect for their opinions.” The ranking later dropped to 34th.
