Top 10 Best NBA Players Right Now

#4 Stephen Curry

2018 NBA Finals - Game Two

If you don't appreciate or understand the concept of gravity within basketball, chances are that you are not nearly as enamored by Steph Curry's (pardon my French) SkyF*****-worthy displays as I am.

Curry is the first player in the history of the game to combine limitless range with exquisite ballhandling, making him a nightmare matchup for any defender in the league. He is an extremely guily customer off the dribble who can create separation for a shot within a jiffy, or drive past his befuddled defender after putting him on skates. As a passer, he truly is second to none, though his assists total doesn't begin to describe his playmaking ability.

Since Curry is such an immense threat as a walking bucket from anywhere on the floor, opponents have to account disproportionately for his presence on the floor, always keeping a defender running after him. The problem is that Curry works harder off the ball than any superstar in any age of NBA basketball, setting pindown screens for the likes of Klay and KD and constantly moving off the ball to manufacture looks for himself.

Steph is probably the weakest defensive player in the top 10, but there's a reason he's the only unanimous MVP in league history. He can light up opponents and put games beyond their reach in a matter of minutes - the season that he averaged 30 points per game, he did that in less than 33 minutes per game.
