The NBA’s last decade featured perhaps the greatest collection of talent in league history, with plenty of Hall-of-Famers battling LeBron James for the title of Best Player Alive.

Kawhi Leonard and Giannis Antetokounmpo closed the decade as the top players alongside King James.

For now, let’s settle the Best Player Alive entering the 2020 playoffs.

Honorable Mentions – Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Just as the 1990s belonged to Michael Jordan and the 2010s belonged to LeBron James, the 2020s could very well be the decade of Giannis.

Statistically speaking, Giannis has a strong case for Best Player Alive.
