The American magazine "Sports Illustrated" published a traditional list of the 100 best NBA basketball players, and for the first time since 2013, LeBron James is not at the top.
The ace of the Lakers and icon of basketball was replaced by Janis Adetkumbo, officially the best player of last season.
Lebron fell to third place, because behind the Greek - Kawhi Leonard, the creator of the champion Toronto and the new player of the Clippers.
Steph Curry is fourth, James Harden is fifth, Anthony Davis is sixth, Joel Embiid is seventh, and Nikola Jokic is eighth.
In 45th place was our Nikola Vučević. Last year, Vučević was 90th in the selection of this prestigious magazine.
"Vucevic didn't change either the team or the role, simply - he decided to be better and to show that he is better than many think. We severely underestimated him last year," the explanation states.
