The ESPN Top 100 – Who’s the Best Player in the NBA Right Now?
Several NBA players have made ESPN’s Top 100 list in recent years. Some of these players are Anthony Davis and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Others are Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson. The list features the best players in the NBA right now. You can check out the full list here.
NFL Draft
If you’re looking for a quarterback who will be ready to start from day one, ESPN has some options for you in the upcoming NFL Draft. The top quarterbacks are listed here, and some of them are polarizing. But if you’re looking for a running back, ESPN’s list isn’t all that compelling. It’s easy to see why.
There are plenty of players who can make the NFL team and aren’t drafted in the first round. In fact, many of these players have played in the NFL for years. Some of these players have even made the Pro Bowl.
College football
ESPN has released its list of the top 100 college football players. While many national powerhouses dominate the list, the SEC has a few stars of their own. Here are the top 14 players from the SEC. The top four players are from Alabama and Georgia. Both have multiple players in the top 20.
Unlike the 1970s, when college football was first played in the United States, the game is now more popular on television, with each school aiming to maximize its earning potential. This has created an arms race between schools that want to get as much money as possible.
NBA
The ESPN top 100 basketball rankings were updated five months ago, and include new five-star prospects from the class of 2023. While some of the newest players may be unknowns, some of them have already made their mark. Below are a few names from the class of 2023 to make your list.
In the last few seasons, five-star prospects rarely rushed their decision to sign with a college program. The transfer portal is now the top priority, and many high school recruits have already made their choices. Consequently, programs have less time to make up lost ground later in the cycle.
Baseball
If you want to know who the best players in MLB history are, ESPN has done the research for you. They’ve assembled the top 100 players in history, ranking them by bWAR (baseball wins above replacement) and other factors. While there are many good players in the top 25, you may be surprised to see the presence of Pedro Martinez and Christy Mathewson. In addition, you’ll see that Derek Jeter is ranked ahead of Pete Rose, who holds the record for most major league hits. While Jeter has had a long and storied career, his ranking on this list is more than likely a little too low.
To create an accurate list, ESPN evaluated the careers of 200 players and ranked them according to their relevance in career WAR, Hall of Fame, peak performance, and contribution to the game as a whole. The process involved hundreds of voting processes, with some players receiving thousands of votes. The rankings are not without biases, however.
