A Sports Illustrated preseason ranking of the top 100 NBA players is no doubt sparking controversy because of the placement of Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis in the seventh spot.
Atop the list is Davis’ Lakers teammate LeBron James, but the other five players ahead of Davis all are coming off either disappointing finishes or injuries from last year.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has won two consecutive MVP awards, but his Milwaukee Bucks teams have yet to reach the NBA Finals during his time with the organization.
