Top 10 Best NBA Players Right Now

#2 Kevin Durant

2018 NBA Finals - Game Three

Kevin Durant plays like a character straight out of a PlayStation game. At a height of 7 feet in shoes, Durant combines the tight ballhandling skills of an elite point guard with the driving ability of a 2-guard, the shooting volume of an old-school power forward from the post and has the length to be a rim protector in the line of several great centers.

As players go, Kevin Durant is the most complete of all today. There is not a single thing Durant doesn't do at an elite level on the court - not one. He can score from 30 feet out, but he can also fly out as a transition threat, or supply the block that created the same threat. He can defend players on the ball about as well as any player ever has at his height, and his off-ball awareness, foot speed and IQ makes him an elite team defender as well.

If haters want to find some way to make Durant look weak, they can't point to his game, for it is as complete as anyone's in history. If only he had some kind of bulk on his frame, he would be more unstoppable than the #1 player on this list. With that being said, Durant makes nearly 50% of his shots from the midrange - an area which sports analytics deems to be the least efficient anywhere on the court. He consistently takes and makes the toughest and least valuable shot in basketball up to a point at which it is more valuable than many players' efficiency in transition situations.

He is the greatest scorer in the 20th century after Kobe. He might just be better than him at some point.
