Who will be the face of the NBA after LeBron?
The NBA is stacked with a great generation of young talented players. How do they rank as the next face of the NBA?
LeBron year 21
The GOAT title might be a tough one for the King considering Michael Jordan is his competitor, but LeBron James was undoubtedly the face of the NBA for the past decade and a half. Averaging 27.2 , 7.5 , 7.3 during 21 seasons in which he won 4 rings. King James dominated the NBA despite have 6 finals loses on his resume. With Lebron nearing the end of his Career, NBA fans are wondering who the face of the NBA will be in the next few years.
A list of superstars
Playing a round of blindly ranking NBA players, we got these five choices: Luka Doncic (27.9, 8.5, 8) , Steph Curry (24.7, 4.7, 6.5), Ja Morant (22.4, 4.8 , 7.4), Tyrese Haliburton (17.1, 3.7, 8.4), Chris Paul (17.8, 4.5, 9.4) and we ranked them as following:
Here is what we think
Luka Doncic at 1: At only 24 years of age, Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks has an incredible basketball IQ which helped him build his resume with very impressive stats. Despite not winning any MVP awards or Rings yet, he is still favorites to become the next face of the NBA
Steph Curry at 2: undoubtedly the greatest 3 point shooter of all time, Steph Curry could have been the face of the NBA if it wasn't for LeBron. At 35 years old, Curry's final few years of his career made it hard to put him at number 1, so 2 was reasonable to us
Ja Morant at 3: Mr. Controversial and arguably the most athletic man in the NBA today, Ja Morant is a joy to watch. Currently suspended but nearing his return, Ja Morant is a huge talent so putting him as number 3 is very well deserved
Tyrese Haliburton at 4: As favorites to win most improved players for the 23/24 NBA season, Haliburton has been incredible for the indiana pacers. The current assist per game leader is on his way to join the elites. Would you rank him third ahead of JA?
CP3 at 5: If this was 2008, CP3 would've been up there in the top 3 for sure. But at 38 years old and still chasing his first ring, we had to put one of the best PGs of all time at number 5.
