Top 5 NBA Players That Deserve to Win a Championship

Joel Embiid

In relation to the 76ers, Joel Embiid is a guy on a mission having just finished an MVP campaign. In his NBA career, he has lived up to Sam Presti's "The Process" concept while showing quite a lot of dominance. However, Embiid's résumé is still lacking one thing: an NBA title. Should things not go as planned this season, a blockbuster deal including Embiid is a possibility.

Damian Lillard

Embiid's circumstances are similar to Lillard's. For years, Lillard worked hard to establish a successful team in Portland, but the Blazers were unable to overcome their obstacles. Lillard joined the Milwaukee Bucks in a huge offseason deal, where he now plays alongside the unstoppable Giannis Antetokounmpo. Adrian Griffin, a former NBA shooting guard, takes over as the team's new coach; he must make sure that Lillard and Giannis, who just signed a contract deal, click.

Luka Dončić

Luka was obviously the big thing as soon as he set foot on an NBA floor. He hasn't, however, experienced the ultimate team victory he longs for. After losing in the first round of the West playoffs in 2020 and 2021, Luka's team had a strong run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. Dallas has cause for optimism this season; fans are thrilled with the progress of Dereck Lively and Jaden Harden, and Grant Williams is a welcome, gritty addition to the team. If Luka wants to show Kyrie that he is as good as anybody in the NBA and lead his supporting group to a championship, he will need to resolve their differences.

James Harden

The journey that James Harden's career has taken him on has not been easy. His tenure with the Rockets was explosive, he had a turbulent year in Brooklyn with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and more recently, his mediocre stint with Joel Embiid in Philadelphia has characterized it. It all began with the sixth-man OKC years. An epic union was prophesied when The Beard and Embiid joined forces. But because of their turbulent connection, lack of success in crucial situations, and discontent with their supporting cast, Harden's relationship with Philadelphia is now in doubt. This season, Harden has the opportunity to silence all of his naysayers as he attempts to mend fences with his new coach Nick Nurse, who took Doc Rivers' place.

Chris Paul

Chris Paul, 38, isn't quite ready to give up on his shoes just yet. His fair share of injury setbacks in previous seasons have led some to wonder how much more he has in him. In fact, by his high standards, his statistics from the previous season were lackluster, with averages of 13.9 points (a career low) and 8.9 assists per game. Even yet, CP3 remains a fearsome force on the floor because of his leadership qualities, basketball IQ, and clutch performances. He leads the Golden State Warriors, a team he has always fought, with experience this season as he teams up with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt. Bob Myers' departure hasn't stopped Golden State from assembling a strong team that is focused on winning a title. Paul's arrival may provide Golden State with the impetus they need to reclaim the top spot in the league. Staying healthy is the key.
