The ESPN made the ranking for the top players of the 21st century in NBA. He placed LeBron James in first place, with Kobe Bryant second and Steph Curry third.
THE John Antetokounmpo he is in eleventh place, but he is not the first European, as Nikola Jokic is at “7” and Dirk Nowitzki is at “10”, while Luka Doncic is at “25”.
