A list of the top 30 players in the NBA from this season has been released with two notable omissions. Both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving have been left off the list, with both still playing at an elite level.
The list, published by Hoops Hype Global Rating has Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant in the top three, with James and Irving nowhere to be seen. Although their teams have not had the success that they're accustomed or expected to, it's fair to say that players remain close to the top of their legendary games.
Through a quarter of the season, James is averaging 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Irving meanwhile is averaging 26, five rebounds and five assists.
