The 50 best players of the 21st century in the NBA

It must be clear from the start that the 21st century began on January 1, 2001. It has been 24 years, so we have room to analyze. Los Angeles Lakers started strong with two titles to seal the three-peat after the 2000 ring, led by one of the most emblematic and controversial duos to have passed through the NBA, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.

We have seen LeBron James almost throughout the entirety of the century, the San Antonio Spurs of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, the Boston Celtics of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen, the Lakers of Kobe and Pau Gasol, the Miami Heat of LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, and the Golden State Warriors of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, with the addition of Kevin Durant for 3 seasons.
