Most fans will lay claim that their favourite NBA player is the best player in the league. But who are the real best NBA players right now?
Best NBA Players Right Now?
The NBA MVP Award is decided by a panel of 100 professional sportswriters and broadcasters who know what they're talking about, and not armchair analysts like the rest of us.
We'll let the most recent MVP Award results decide who the top 10 best NBA players right now are:
10. DeMar DeRozan
DeMar DeRozan seems to age like a fine wine. At 32 years of age he had a career season with the Bulls. DeRozan had career highs for points per game, and both field-goal and three-point shooting percentage. He's one of the best NBA players right now, helping the Bulls clinch a playoff berth against the odds in 2022 and snapping a five-year playoff drought for Chicago.

9. Chris Paul
Even as he hits his late 30's the ageless Chris Paul is still playing like one of the greatest point guards of all time. Paul is a phenomenal leader and is as good as he was when he was drafted in 2005. He has the handles, is deadly from midrange, has an impeccable basketball IQ and turns up for the big plays.
Chris Paul led the Suns to the 2021 NBA Finals and the 2022 Conference Semifinals. Has he missed out on an elusive NBA ring that will define his career? If he has, he'll be one of the best players who never won an NBA championship.
8. Stephen Curry
He isn't just one of the best NBA players right now. Stephen Curry is one of the greatest shooters of all time and one of the best players in history. Ray Allen played 1,300 career games to set the record for 3-point baskets. It took Curry just 789 games to break it.
Stephen Curry has revolutionized the NBA with his ability to shoot from the locker rooms. He's a solid defender, ball handler and rebounder for his size. Curry finished 8th in MVP voting and came up clutch in the playoffs. He was awarded the NBA Finals MVP as the Golden State Warriors became 2022 NBA champions.
