How to evaluate the current James, listen to the comments of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Durant

Giannis Antetokounmpo said that James is still the number one active player, and now Durant says that James is the best in history.

Giannis Antetokounmpo said that the 37-year-old LeBron James is still the number one player in the league and the face of the league. Even with himself, Curry, Durant, and other outstanding stars, he still cannot compare with James.

In the 2022-23 season, James averaged 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. His average of 24 points per game is the second-lowest in his career. This is the performance of a 37-year-old veteran. Looking at the players in the league who can be nominated as the number one player, there are still a few who can play from the first position to the fifth position on both ends of the offense and defense. There are almost only two or three players, and James is one of them.

Maybe Giannis Antetokounmpo said that James is still the number-one player in the league. Many people think that Giannis Antetokounmpo is too modest, and what he says is also polite. He has the strength to replace James as the number one player. If Giannis Antetokounmpo's words are not authoritative enough, what if Durant said them?

You must know that James and Kevin Durant are the best players of this era. Both of them can play from first to fifth, and their offensive and defensive abilities are exemplary. The two have played against each other in the finals many times. However, Durant expressed his appreciation for James.

"I mean, I didn't think about it until you brought it up. He's the best No. 2 or 3 ever. So it's always exciting when he's on the pitch, and we've been here a lot. Over a long period, people have seen a lot of games between the two of us at our peak."

Durant is full of respect for James because, in those years, only one could limit each other on both ends of the offense and defense, and both felt a little alone in their peak periods. When the two were at their peak, they could always kill the Quartet on the offensive end and put tremendous pressure on the opponent on the defensive end.
