2022: Ranking the top 10 NBA players right now

As the season continues to heat up, the Best NBA players are rising to the top. Making big impacts. Let’s take a look at the top 10 so far: Note: The article was originally written by camisetasclube.com, since updated by the camisetasclube team.

1 Joel Embiid

Joel Hans Embiid is a Cameroonian professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. After one year of college basketball with the Kansas Jayhawks, he was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft by the 76ers.Joel "The Process" Embiid played at an MVP-caliber level throughout the 2020-21 season to lead the Sixers to the No. 1 seed in the East. Then this year he dragged the Simmons-less roster on his back before impressing a certain lefty also on this list enough to force his way out of Brooklyn. The 7-foot-2 center is in the best shape of his life and has more of an impact on both ends of the floor for his team than any other star in the NBA. 

2 Kevin Durant

Kevin Wayne Durant is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He played one season of college basketball for the Texas Longhorns, and was selected as the second overall pick by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 2007 NBA draft. Before getting sidelined with a torn Achilles injury in the 2019 NBA Finals, Kevin Durant was the clear No. 2 in the league. After? Durant somehow proved to reach his elite form even after a heel injury that has changed the career trajectory of greats that have come before him. Durant turned himself into the world's greatest scorer with the Thunder, became a gifted passer and more willing defender with the Warriors, and is now with the Nets is neck-and-neck to be known as the best player in the world.

3 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo is a Greek professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association. Antetokounmpo's nationality, in addition to his size, speed, strength, and ball-handling skills have earned him the nickname "Greek Freak". After winning two MVPs, Giannis Antetokounmpo one-upped himself with an NBA Finals MVP award last season. His dominance on both ends stems from his incredible 7-foot-3 wingspan. The Greek Freak's elite athleticism make him an unstoppable force in transition and on the defensive end, and now he's an NBA champion. In 2021-22, Giannis has showcased some impressive offensive moves to show that he still could be quite a way's away from his overall peak.

4 LeBron James

LeBron Raymone James Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. LeBron James has entered the post-Space Jam era of his career. He's the most well-rounded player of this generation and James' chase to be the greatest of all time keeps him motivated to still be among the best players in Year 19.

5 Stephen Curry

Wardell Stephen Curry II is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. An eight-time NBA All-Star, he has been named the NBA Most Valuable Player twice and has won three NBA championships. Steph Curry cemented himself as the best shooter of all time when he broke Ray Allen's 3-point record in December 2021. He was winning games all by himself at times last season and is now leading the Warriors back to the top of the Western Conference in MVP form.

6 James Harden

James Edward Harden Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. He is one of the NBA's most prolific scorers and has been called the best shooting guard in the NBA, as well as one of the top overall players in the league. Though James Harden's nine-year tenure with Houston ended distastefully, then did the same the next year with the Nets. Still, his scoring ability will never go overlooked. What does go overlooked, though, is his vision. In his first season with Brooklyn, Harden was hampered with a persisting hamstring issue, but averaged almost 11 apg. Harden led the league in assists when he played primarily at the point for the Rockets during the 2016-17 season and his passing acumen will be an invaluable asset to a Philadelphia squad trying to capitalize on Joel Embiid's prime.

7 Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokić is a Serbian professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association who plays the center position. A four-time NBA All-Star, he has been named to the All-NBA Team on three occasions, and won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for the 2020–21 NBA season. Nikola Jokic was instrumental during Denver's magical run to the Western Conference Finals in the bubble, but he took it to another level en route to his MVP campaign. From nailing clutch shot after clutch shot to passing his teammates open, Jokic has amassed one incredible combination of skills. Like another center above him on this list, Jokic singlehandedly carries the team. Though he doesn't have as much of an impact on the defensive end, he's certainly disproven any notions of being a liability.

8 Ja Morant

Temetrius Jamel "Ja" Morant is an American professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association. He played college basketball for the Murray State Racers, where he was a consensus first-team All-American as a sophomore in 2019. Ja Morant's meteoric rise this season has been the most fun thing about this year. He has been playing at an MVP-level in his third season in the NBA, can jump out of the building and has steadily improved his field goal percentages from all over the court. The time is now for Morant, who's beginning to challenge Embiid in the MVP race.

9 Luka Dončić

Luka Dončić is a Slovenian professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association. He also represents the Slovenian national team. Born in Ljubljana, Dončić shone as a youth player for Union Olimpija before joining the youth academy of Real Madrid. It's been simply remarkable to see just how much the third pick in the 2018 NBA Draft has surpassed expectations so far in his NBA career. Always playing at his own pace, Luka Dončić can do it all offensively and he's significantly improved his assists numbers each season with the Mavericks. His ability to take over games is up there with the best.

10 Kawhi Leonard

(with the biggest stars at NBA 2022 by camisetas de nba) Kawhi Anthony Leonard is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. A two-time NBA champion, he is a five-time All-Star with three All-NBA First Team selections. The third multi-NBA Finals MVP honoree, Kawhi Leonard has proven he can win as the lone superstar while with Toronto and is looking to take the Clippers to those same heights. Leonard takes more pride in his one-on-one defense than just about anyone and he's improved his offensive repertoire every year he's been in the league. As much as critics call out his preferential treatment and rest days, "The Claw" could once again have the last laugh before too long.
