It wasn't Stephen Curry, it wasn't LeBron James. He selected 10 people, the top topic of the NBA this season. ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, carefully selected it.

It includes players, coaches, club officials, and NBA broadcasters.

Among them, Joel Embiid and Victor Wembanyama received the most attention.

The media reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'He won the long-cherished regular league MVP last season. I set another goal. He said he will play healthy this season and lead his team to the championship.' He lost more than 25 pounds (about 11 kilograms). Philadelphia brought in Paul George, and Tyreece Maxey's growth. With Embiid at the center, Philadelphia is one of the strongest favorites of the season.

He also shed light on Victor Wembanyama.

The media outlet wrote that `This season San Antonio is becoming a very attractive team because of the monster rookie Wembley. All experts expect Wembanyama to be strong this season. Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic became a superstar who immediately made the NBA's first team after winning the Rookie of the Year award. Attention is focusing on whether Wembley will be selected as the NBA's first team this season after winning the Rookie of the Year award last season.

In addition, Carl Anthony Towns, who was traded to the New York Knicks, and Memphis Grizzlies charge leader Ja Morant, who returns to perfect form after a gun incident and injury, were selected as the NBA's best issue players this season.
