🔔The footsteps of the new season are becoming increasingly clear, and it’s time to start our annual TOP25 selection of NBA stars! Different from previous years, this selection will adopt a new competition format - group duels based on player position.

We will divide it into five groups: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Each position group will select 5 top stars to form a list of the top 25 stars in the new season.

This position reference is strictly based on the actual roles played by players most of the time last season, and strives to fairly present the top combat power of each position.

In the modern NBA, small forwards have long transcended the role of a simple scorer and evolved into an all-around core on the court. They need to undertake diversified tasks on both offense and defense. They are a key link in connecting internal and external lines and determining the team's tactical upper limit.

This selection is based on the players' performance and data last season, and looks forward to their potential in the new season (🔔It is confirmed that players with long-term injuries will not participate in the selection).
