The same goes for CBS Sports in the U.S. However, they were subtly different.
The first place was the same. It was Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets), the best big man in the field and the best big man of all time.
CBS Sports announced the top 100 players on the 26th (Korea time) and was selected as the No. 1 Jokichi.
The same was true of ESPN. However, ESPN was second last season and first this season. He is the player who has the best control of the game.
The second place was different. CBS Sports named Yannis Antetokounmpo second. The Greek Goin is slightly undervalued due to the Milwaukee Bucks' playoff failure last season, but he is still one of the best players in the league.
ESPN pointed to Luka Doncic, who put the Dallas Mavericks in the final last season. It was second place last season, and it marked second place this season as well.
The fourth place was the same. It was Shy Gilgeous Alexander. He is the best shooting guard in the field who ranked Oklahoma City first in the West last season.
Oklahoma has grown a bit more this season. Shy Gilgeous Alexander also became sharper.
Fifth place was a bit of a surprise. Joel Embiid (Philadelphia), who is nothing short of announcing road management as 'official' this season, has been selected. He was the MVP of last season's regular league.
Stephen Curry (Golden State), Jason Tatum (Boston), eighth, LeBron James, ninth, Kevin Durant (Pinix), and 10th, Anthony Edwards (Minnesota).
ESPN was No. 5 Tatum, No. 6 Curry, No. 7 LeBron, No. 8 Embiid, No. 9 Durant, and No. 10 Edwards.
