We’re closing in on the very top of the list. In this episode, I reveal my rankings from #10 through #6, a tier loaded with generational legends and a new face breaking into the Top 10 for the first time.

From Stephen Curry’s all-time shooting brilliance, to LeBron James still rewriting the record books in year 22, to Kevin Durant’s case as one of the game’s purest scorers, this stretch is filled with household names who still define today’s NBA.

I also dive into the arrival of a new Top-10 star — and why their leap shakes up the hierarchy going into next season.

The Western Conference is absolutely loaded heading into the 2025–26 NBA season — but three teams stand out above the rest.

In this episode, I reveal my picks for the Top 3 seeds in the West: the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, and Houston Rockets. I break down what makes each of these squads so dangerous — from star power and depth to coaching, chemistry, and playoff scalability — and why I believe they’ll lead the pack this season.

Can the young Thunder dominate the regular season again? Will the Nuggets bounce back and reclaim the #1 spot from previous years? And are the Rockets ready to assert themselves as perrenial contenders?
