Not Giannis Antetokounmpo. Not Carmelo Anthony. Not Nate Archibald. Not Paul Arizin. Not Charles Barkley. No player in the history of basketball has ever won THIS TROPHY! Will you be the first?

WHY WE STILL DON'T KNOW, AND WHY THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE Do you KNOW who is the best basketball player in the world? Notice, I didn’t ask, “Who do you think is the best?” Nor am I asking which team is the best. I’m talking about the one basketball player who, right now, is better than all the other players alive on earth. Does anyone know who and where that player is? Basketball was invented in 1891.
