Over 2 hours ranking the best players in the NBA—we just needed that much time.  This was one of the hardest years ever with so many stars healthy and playing at a ridiculously high level—we concluded that as many as 11 players could conceivably play at an MVP level in today’s NBA.  See where LeBron, Curry, Harden, Kawhi, Jokic, Embiid, AD, Luka, and Dame rank for us this year.  Plus we get all the way down to the 20s ranking players this year because there are so many great ones.
