- Ja Morant is my favourite player because he made me start liking basketball. He did this through his crazy dunks and underdog story. The winner of the rookie of the year was him in the 2019-2020 season and has lead his team to top seats in a competitive western conference. This came with all star appearances and an all nba team with more to come since he is young.
2. John Wall is my second favourite player because of his handles and how smooth he plays. His game is clean and fun which highlights his skills since he is a smaller guard. His career was short and dealt with mental health issues but still got five all star selections and an all nba team. His story shows hard work and how mental health is a problem even in sports. He is now a free agent, searching for a team to sign him just to reach NBA level once again.
3. Russell Westbrook has many awards, Mvp in 2017, 9 time all star, 9 all NBA teams, the scoring champion twice, 3 time assist champion and a top 75 player of all time. 5 players have averaged a triple double for a whole season, 4 times was Russell Westbrook. His game is based on electrifying dunks and flashy lay ups.He became the Mvp when his best friend and teammate stabbed him in the back and signed with their rivals. He still plays but he is past his prime and now is a 7-8th man for the Clippers.
4. Lebron James aka the goat. Lebron has a great personality that goes with his amazing game. He has too many awards to list them but in summary, he has championships, finals mvps, mvps, gold medals, rookie of the year and many more. He holds basically all the records because he has played for so long like having 40k points, 20 all stars, 20 all NBA teams and way more. He still is a top 10 player in the league at the age of almost 40 and plays for the Lakers.
5. GG Jackson is the future of the Grizzlies along with Ja Morant. He was drafted this season at the 45th pick and is close to becoming a star. Since the Grizzlies had up to 15 players injured per game this season, he was given the keys to the team and could score like crazy of some nights. He is also the youngest player to record 40 points. He will be a great scorer in the future and already has a career high higher than great players like Bill Russel, the 11 time champion and John Stockton, the all time leader in steals and assists.
