description: Our expert round-up of the 10 best NBA players in the league.
encoded: The NBA has rarely been in such a great place when it comes to talent. From a few all-time greats still performing at elite levels to several up-and-coming superstars, the league is stacked with quality from top to bottom. Any ranking of its top 10 players will inevitably upset at least a couple of fanbases who believe their star belongs on the list. Even with a winning name that’s as close to consensus as we’ve been in a few years, this is no easy ranking to complete. How much weight should be placed on recent performances compared to full-career accolades? This list leans toward the former, but allows plenty of room for a player’s track record to shine as well. RadioTimes.com ranks the 10 best NBA players in the league right now. Read more: Best NBA players of all time 10. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander The newest entry to the NBA’s list of true superstars is SGA, a 24-year-old Canadian guard who has taken the league by storm. He averaged over 30 points per game and finished fifth in MVP voting for the 2022-23 season, then was arguably the best overall player in this summer’s FIBA World Cup. Gilgeous-Alexander operates at a cadence all his own, a whirring blend of limbs and dribble moves that have proven impossible for defences to crack – and capped by elite shooting from all over the floor. He’ll be a mainstay on lists like these for years to come. 9. Jimmy Butler To look only at Butler’s regular season statistics, one would question his place in any league-wide top 10. But when the play-offs come around, he’s simply a force – the kind of big-game player who consistently elevates the Heat to post-season runs no one ever saw coming. He hits huge shots, defends opposing stars and seems to singlehandedly will his team to victory with shocking frequency. Even if he never wins a title, he’ll go down as one of this generation’s most clutch players. 8. LeBron James If it seems completely absurd for a near-39-year-old to rank among the NBA’s 10 best players in his 21st season, …

description: Our expert round-up of the 10 best NBA players of all time.
encoded: Ah, the NBA’s GOAT debate. It’s likely the single most common water cooler topic the league has to offer, a never-ending source of passionate, opinionated disagreement. Old-timers swear by the greats of their era, insisting their heights can never be reached again; younger generations tout today’s stars for pushing basketball forward. Subjective criteria often lead the day. Some favor the highest peaks players are able to reach, even if only for a short time, while others prefer longevity and consistency. The very best of all-time tend to check both boxes, but their precise ordering can vary heavily depending on how one weighs particular variables. RadioTimes.com ranks the 10 best NBA players of all time. Read more: Best NBA players in the league 10. Shaquille O’Neal One of the game’s biggest figures, both physically and otherwise, Shaq is a perfect embodiment of the “peak vs. longevity” debate. At his very best in the late 90s and early 2000s, and particularly in the playoffs, O’Neal played at a level maybe only two or three others in history have ever reached; he was also known for “playing into shape” and not exactly taking every single regular season game with the utmost seriousness. But with four NBA titles, three Finals MVP awards, 15 All-Star appearances and 14 All-NBA selections, he’s one of the most decorated players ever – and could rank even higher for “peak” enthusiasts. 9. Wilt Chamberlain By raw stats alone, Chamberlain’s ninth-place ranking among the all-time greats could feel like a slight. The man still owns numerous NBA records that may never fall, boasting preposterous stat lines like his 1961-62 season where he posted over 50 points and 25 rebounds per game. Chamberlain’s teams, however, regularly fell short in the biggest moments: He won just two championships in 15 seasons despite playing in a much smaller league than what we see today, and was regularly bested by another center we’ll see later on this list. And because the ultimate goal of NBA…

Steph Curry on new documentary: "That underrated mindset is always part of my DNA"

description: NBA superstar Stephen Curry talks exclusively to RadioTimes.com about being underrated, what motivates him and his proudest moment.
encoded: “At six-foot-two, he’s extremely small for a shooting guard. Do not rely on him to run your team. He overshoots, doesn’t like it when defences are too physical with him – and he’s not a great finisher.” Steph Curry’s draft report was proof that there were serious doubts about whether the rookie could adjust to the physicality of the NBA when he was drafted to the Golden State Warriors in 2009. Flash forward to 2023 and Steph Curry has won four NBA championships, two MVPs, a finals MVP and nine All-Star selections, and holds the record for the most career three-pointers. The documentary predominantly takes place before all the success and accolades when he was playing at a small town Division 1 College, where his journey to the very top was more improbable than inevitable. Through archival footage, Steph was able to relive his early basketball career and was given a fresh perspective on his time at Davidson College and how unlikely his success story was. Talking about reliving his Davidson years, Steph said: “Anybody who goes through seasons of life probably has core memories of what your experience was and you can relive it in your head but when you tie that together with old footage, some of the highlights and some of the lowlights of the years there. “And then also you get the perspective of all the amazing people that were a part of my story: my parents, coaches, teammates, people around the Davidson community. It's an amazing vantage point to just understand how much it impacted so many different people in a lot of different ways.” He added: “That is something that the documentary does a great job of diving into. I learned a lot about my own journey by going back and seeing how much it impacted so many different people.” The framing of the documentary was interesting as there are incredible moments and career highlights that aren’t referenced. However, producer Ryan Coogler believes it is often the overlooked aspects of stories that are the most exciting to tell…

description: The Last Dance takes us to the end of Michael Jordan's career with the Chicago Bulls, but he continued to play in the NBA for another team
encoded: Michael Jordan did not retire following the events of The Last Dance. Bombshell, right? For sports fans who took a keen interest in the Chicago Bulls star at the time, that's hardly a revelation, but new converts to Jordan may not know that while the 1997/98 season was indeed his last dance in Chi-town, his last game in the NBA came in 2003. Why Manchester United should be given the 'Last Dance' treatment Jordan retired from basketball for a second time when the Bulls were split up by general manager Jerry Krause, but was coaxed back into the game for two seasons with the Washington Wizards between 2001 and 2003. He played 60 games in his comeback year, and all 82 in his final season before a third – and definitive – retirement. He led the team in scoring, assists and steals in 2001/02 before torn cartilage in his right knee prematurely brought his season to an end. Jordan returned in 2002/03 – during which he turned 40 – and brought an inevitable wave of popularity to the Wizards. However, Jordan couldn't bring success to the team. The Wizards failed to reach the play-offs in either season as Jordan bemoaned the teammates around him. He would openly criticise members of the squad in the media, perhaps trying to replicate the fearsome aura he cultivated and used to mould players with in Chicago. Will there be a season 2 of The Last Dance? Ultimately, his spell in Washington would have been a failure in his eyes, after all, they didn't win anything. However, during his very last outing – on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers in April 2003 – the packed-out opposing crowd chanted for Jordan to come off the bench and see the game out. He did so for less than a minute, then left the court to a three-minute standing ovation from his teammates, opponents, officials, and the entire crowd. Jordan's true last dance.

description: The Last Dance has drawn to a close but Space Jam – Michael Jordan's true masterpiece – is available to watch online
encoded: The Last Dance has introduced a whole new generation to the global phenomenon that is Michael Jordan. Not only is Jordan the greatest player to grace a basketball court, but he has gone on to become one of the most marketable athletes in history. His Air Jordan shoe range has surged in sales since The Last Dance aired, but we can't talk about Jordan without discussing his greatest impact on pop culture – Space Jam. It's ludicrous, it's PR genius, it's Jordan and Bugs Bunny teaming up to beat an opposing basketball team of space goons – and it's available to watch online around the world. How to watch Space Jam in UK Space Jam is available to watch on Netflix in the UK. In fact, it arrived on the streaming service the same day as the first episodes of The Last Dance. A coincidence, of course! How to watch Space Jam in US Unfortunately for US viewers, Space Jam is not on Netflix. You can rent the movie from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube and Google Play Store for $3.99. When is Space Jam 2 coming out? Space Jam 2 is happening under the title 'Space Jame: A New Legacy'. The film will feature LeBron James in the main role, with a host of NBA stars lined up for cameo appearances. The film is scheduled to be released in July 2021, though it remains to be seen whether the coronavirus backlog could cause any delays. Will Michael Jordan appear in Space Jam 2? It remains to be seen whether Jordan will appear in the sequel. It's highly unlikely there won't be at least an obvious tip of the hat to MJ, but whether the original main man will actually appear is anyone's guess right now.

description: The Last Dance has captured the attention of sports fans around the world but will there be a season 2?
encoded: The Last Dance has proven to be a major success for Netflix as it continues its impressive foray into sports documentaries. Sunderland 'Til I Die proved to be a big win for the online streaming giant, with two seasons released so far, and The Last Dance could have a future beyond the original run of episodes with a different focus. Check out the latest details on whether there will be a second season of The Last Dance. Will there be The Last Dance season 2? Will we see any more of Michael Jordan and the 90s Chicago Bulls? Almost certainly not. The documentary has been comprehensive in its coverage of Jordan since his high school and college days right the way through his career until the very end. He was the centre point of the Bulls' success, meaning the show won't just simply follow on the story of the franchise after Jordan's departure. But does that mean season 2 is off the table? Not exactly. Viewers were left emotional during The Last Dance as previously unseen interview footage with Kobe Bryant was shown, filmed just weeks before his tragic death in a helicopter accident. He discusses the impact of Jordan and the documentary shows his first steps in the game as the new pretender to Michael's throne. Bryant's tragic passing raises the potential for a new season of The Last Dance, should creators decide to turn him into the focus after season one ends. The prospect has been raised... Will there be a Kobe Bryant series? Bryant stayed with the LA Lakers for 20 years, building a long-term legacy with one franchise akin to the great Jordan. A camera crew followed Bryant throughout his final season in the NBA in 2015/16, an eerily similar style to how the cameras rolled during Jordan's final Bulls season. John Black, former Head of PR for the Lakers, told ESPN: "They had unprecedented and, by far, greater access than anyone else ever. We certainly allowed them to do everything we could within what the league would allow, and sometimes, with a wink and look-the-other…

encoded: Netflix's hit The Last Dance has shone a light on Michael Jordan and the legendary '90s Chicago Bulls stars in recent weeks. The docuseries has transcended sport with social media buzzing about the show, in particular, the life and antics of Dennis Rodman. One of the NBA's most divisive characters, Rodman plays a starring role in one episode as he demands a mid-season vacation to recharge, destress and prepare to go again. He chose Las Vegas. Who is Dennis Rodman? Rodman was a superb defensive player in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons – a team whose physicality and aggression generated a seismic rivalry with Jordan's Bulls. Several years later, the Bulls picked up Rodman and he slotted in to become a huge influence on the team alongside Jordan and Scottie Pippen. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2020/05/GettyImages-1172067255-c70dbdd.jpg" width="2156" height="1667" alt="Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls leans on the scorers table as he waits to come into the game against the Utah Jazz 10 June in game four of the NBA Finals at the United Center in Chicago, IL.

description: The Last Dance has brought Michael Jordan back under the spotlight
encoded: Michael Jordan is the name back on sports fans' lips following the release – and universal success – of hit Netflix series The Last Dance. The show details the rise of Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the early 90s, culminating in an electrifying 'last dance' season as the team approached the end of their glory days together. Not only was Jordan a success on the court, but he became a global phenomenon off it with surging Air Jordan shoe sales and his iconic Number 23 seared into NBA fans' minds – but why did he wear 23 and why did he switch numbers? Why did Michael Jordan wear number 23? Jordan took up the number 23 jersey from an early age dating back to his time at Laney High School. His older brother Larry was already on the team with the number 45, so Jordan simply halved the number to reach 23 – with the help of a little rounding up. He continued to don the 23 for the University of North Carolina where he made a name for himself and ultimately earned a shot at the NBA in 1984. He joined the Bulls and kept his shirt number for nine years, though he was forced to wear number 12 for a game after his traditional jersey went missing prior to a game. For the latest news and expert tips on getting the best deals this year, take a look at our Black Friday 2021 and Cyber Monday 2021 guides. Why did Michael Jordan switch to number 45? Jordan retired from the NBA in October 1993 following the murder of his father several months earlier. He stated that he had lost the desire to play the game and couldn't continue. He went on to play Minor League Baseball for a spell. The Bulls retired the number 23 shirt in honour of Jordan in 1994, but he pulled another shock move. "I'm back" declared Jordan as he returned for the final stretch of the 1994/95 season. He wore the number 45 during that season, his brother Larry's old number. However, following a couple of uncharacteristic errors, a famous Magic Johnson quote: "No. 45 doesn't explode like No. 23 used to" inspired Jordan …

description: The 2019/20 NBA season could continue with all games being played at Disney World
encoded: The NBA is seeking a solution to end the current season, and one unorthodox method could be playing all remaining games at Disney World in Florida. League officials are eyeing up a 'bubble city' where players and staff from all 30 teams can be quarantined together to limit exposure to the coronavirus. Reports suggest the idea of hosting games at Disney World has been floated for several weeks now, with the parks situated close to Orlando Magic facilities as well as boasted numerous hotels and importantly basketball courts – and space for courts. Further plus points include the fact that Disney owns ESPN, a broadcaster of the NBA, and Disney chairman Bob Iger reportedly made a presentation to the NBA's board of governors earlier this month about a potential plan, according to Associated Press journalist Tim Reynolds. It remains unclear whether the NBA will continue its regular season or cut straight through to the play-offs with only 16 teams to make the cut as opposed to the full league returning. It would be a highly unorthodox end to an unprecedented level of sporting disruption, but more solutions like this may be required if leagues are to rush through their final games. In the UK, the Premier League has reportedly looked into hosting games in the Midlands with designated quarantine hotels for players and staff, though of course there are far more players and staff involved with association football clubs than in the NBA.

description: The Last Dance puts Michael Jordan's career front and centre in an age where his silhouette is a misplaced legacy
encoded: You have heard of Michael Jordan. You know Michael Jordan. It's Michael Jordan. Of course you know Michael Jordan. But do you actually know Michael Jordan? The cultural impact of the basketball titan is splashed across the globe, the brand, the iconic Jumpman logo is stamped onto every Nike product – from shoes to PSG football jerseys – that image is pressed into our mind. Here in the UK, plenty know Jordan was 'the man', many did grow up idolising his every move in a Chicago Bulls jersey but in a nation where basketball isn't the done thing, his legacy feels somewhat restricted to his brand, to his reputation, without truly know why he was 'the man'. As a child of the 90s, barely able to reach up to Jordan's knee height for much of the timespan The Last Dance focuses on, I too fell into the category of knowing Jordan is the best without truly fathoming why. The Last Dance is tailor-made for those who know Jordan to be more than a fashion symbol, without truly knowing the tale of his rise. The Last Dance focuses on the all-conquering Chicago Bulls team in the 90s, a one-time farcical franchise, bottom of the pecking order in a city dominated by baseball, ice hockey and NFL. That was pre-Jordan. View oEmbed on the source website Netflix's latest sports documentary hangs on the end of an era, the Bulls won five titles in seven years, with the series pinned on the 1997/98 campaign as one-time behemoths creep towards their sell-by date and an aggressive backroom management strategy that seeks to tear down the dynasty to build another. It brims with interviews – from the time and in the present day – by an ice-cool, cigar-swivelling Jordan and his team-mates, key members of backroom staff, opposing legends, even a pair of presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton weigh in with a glint in their eye. The intimacy of the sport, a minimal roster of guys led by a figurehead coach, lends itself well to the docu-series style. It's simple enough picking up the guys and becoming i…
