This tournament brings lots of young talent and stars in front of the world. Which is why NBA is one of the most loved sports tournaments all around the world. Let’s have a look at Top 10 NBA players in 2024.
10. Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers/Jazz
The only player on our list to change teams inside the calendar year, Mitchell was traded in a summer blockbuster following a strong All-Star season with the Jazz, setting the stage for an incredible start with the Cavaliers. Mitchell is averaging the same number of field goals in Cleveland as he did in Utah, but he’s shooting almost five percentage points higher from the field while not being the team’s sole elite perimeter option.
9. Devin Booker, Suns
Booker solidified his status as one of the Association’s best shooting guards with his body of work this past season. After leading the Suns to a franchise-record 64 wins, he was named to the All-NBA first team for the first time, became the fourth-youngest player to score 11,000 career points, and finished fourth in the 2021–22 MVP competition. The Kentucky product is on track to finish in the top 15 in the scoring race for the fifth time in a row thanks to his deadly mid-range game, ability to draw fouls, and 3-point shooting efficiency.
8. Kevin Durant, Nets
Even as he approaches his mid-thirties, Durant continues to deliver the extraordinary that NBA fans have come to anticipate. Although Durant shot just 38.6% from the field in 2022, it was insufficient to keep his club from losing in the opening round of the playoffs the previous year. Durant is a star player for the Nets. The Brooklyn Nets had a rough start to the new season, but they are now back on track because of Durant, who averages 30.4 points per game.
7. Ja Morant, Grizzlies
It’s difficult to put a number on, but Morant may have had the most brand growth of any NBA player in 2024. Throughout his first two and a half seasons, the Grizzlies sensation dazzled with game-changing performances, but during his team’s late-season run and postseason push at the end of the previous season, he solidified his position as the team’s best point guard. Despite battling numerous ailments early in the season, Morant is one of just three players this time around to rank in the top 15 in terms of points and assists per game. He also continues to lead Memphis to one of the best records in the Association.
6. Luka Doncic, Mavericks
After losing their first two rounds of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Clippers, Doncic and the Mavs made their breakthrough last season, making it to the West finals. Throughout his 15 postseason appearances, the former No. 3 overall choice was outstanding as usual, averaging an NBA-best 31.7 points, 9.8 boards, 6.4 assists, and 1.8 steals. Doncic became one of only two players, along with Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan, to amass 800 points in their first 25 postseason games during the same time frame.
5. Joel Embiid, 76ers
Embiid is one of the league’s few centres with such a versatile skill set. Like traditional big men, the 7-footer can dominate opponents in the post and defend the basket, but he can also space the floor, drive to the rim, and create for others. Embiid won his first scoring title earlier this year thanks to his versatile offensive style. Averaging a career-high 30.6 points, he became the first centre to lead the league in scoring in more than 20 years and finished second in the MVP competition.
4. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks
To no one’s surprise, Antetokounmpo was a strong contender for MVP in 2021–2022, finishing in the top four votes for the fourth time in a row, including two wins. He finished the season with a career-high 29.9 points, an unbelievable but normal 11.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists for the Greek Freak. This season, Antetokounmpo made a comeback and has so far slightly exceeded his scoring total from the previous year, scoring more than 30 points in a game for the first time.
3. Stephen Curry, Warriors
For Curry, the past year was full of firsts. The seasoned Warriors player won his first MVP award in an All-Star Game after scoring an incredible 50 points, including a career-high 16 threes. Three months later, he was the unanimous choice to receive the first Magic Johnson Trophy, which was awarded to the MVP of the West Finals. After that, Curry helped Golden State win its fourth championship in eight years. The Bay Area team upset the Celtics in six games with Curry scoring 31.2 points on 48.2% shooting, including 43.7% from beyond the arc.
2. Jayson Tatum, Celtics
To illustrate how far Tatum has come in the last 12 months, he wasn’t even included in the honourable mentions on our list the previous year. However, this was before Tatum’s outstanding shooting and big heroics leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals. Clearly motivated by the Finals defeat to the Warriors, the 24-year-old had a career-best start to the new season, scoring 30.2 points in a league-high 37 minutes per game for the greatest offence in the Association.
1. Nikola Jokic, Nuggets
Jokic produced an even better year in 2022, somehow surpassing the unforgettable 2021. On his way to winning MVP for the second time in a row in 2021–22, the Nuggets star set new career highs in points (27.1 per game), rebounds (13.8), field goal percentage (58.3%), steals (1.5), and triple-doubles (19). During that season, he shattered Chamberlain’s 60-year NBA record with a 32.8 Player Efficiency Rating. Now that Michael Porter and Jamal Murray are back in the mix, Jokic is making a compelling case for the Michael Jordan Trophy once more.
So these were the Top 10 NBA players in 2024.
