In the 2023-24 season, we can see that the NBA is in a stage of replacing the old and the new, and the status of many stars has also undergone a lot of changes. We'll see that some of the stars are slowly becoming All-Stars or superstars this season. Fadeaway World has listed the 25 best players in the game and divided them into superstars, superstars, all-stars and stars, let's take a look at which players are overrated or underrated.
Superstars: Jokic, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Antetokounmpo, Durant
Basically, none of the five are overrated or underrated. LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Durant are all already in their thirties, all over 35 years old, and LeBron James is 39 years old. However, in terms of influence on the field, they are still superstar-level. Jokic and Antetokounmpo are both in their prime, and they have also been the MVP of the Finals in recent years.
Superstars: Embiid, Leonard, Doncic, Alexander, Tatum
In terms of superstar status, these five people are not underestimated or overrated. All five are the team's leading stars, Embiid, Doncic and Alexander, all averaging 30+ points per game this season. Except for the Mavericks led by Doncic, the rest of the team has a good record.
All-Stars: Haliburton, Donovan Mitchell, Damion Lillard, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, Sabonis, Fox, Bam Adebayo
There are 9 All-Star players, and it is difficult for these 9 people to transform from All-Star players to superstars. However, we can see that the likes of Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker all have the potential to become superstars. In particular, Anthony Edwards recently publicly abused the referee as a dog, which also attracted the praise of many fans, because for the first time in so many years, a player dared to call the league and the referee like this.
Stars: Kyrie Irving, Maxey, Paul George, Markkanen, Shin Kyung, Zion
There are six stars, among whom Kyrie Irving and Paul George are seriously underrated. They have long proven themselves in the past, and in the 2023-24 season, their strength and performance are All-Star calibre. To put them in the ranks of stars is to underestimate them. Maxi has risen to prominence in the new season and has become a member of the stars, which is not a big problem. Markkanen, Shin Kyung, and Zion are also not overrated or underrated.
