The three superstars of Zhan Kudu are the top 3! With less than a week away from the new season training camp, the US media "yardbarker" announced the top 20 active stars over 35 years old, among which Harden beat Butler to rank fourth.

Fifth place: Butler

36-year-old Butler is a real tough guy and a big heart player. The more critical the game is, the more the bigger the scene is, the more proud Butler can deliver.

Joined the Warriors in the middle of last season, and he once again proved this. Before he joined, the Warriors had fallen out of the playoffs. After he joined, the Warriors made a counterattack all the way into the playoffs, and even eliminated the Rockets in the first round of Black Seven. If Curry hadn't suffered injuries, they might have eliminated the Timberwolves, which posed a huge threat to the final champion Thunder.

However, Butler was a little careless in the regular season, and there were problems with his attendance, which led to him being defeated by Harden and ranked fifth.

4th place: Harden

As one of the two heroes of 2009, Harden was an NBA-level scorer at the peak, leading the Rockets to compete with one of the strongest "Cosmic Brave" in history, and once forced his opponent into a desperate situation.

But like the regret of Paul being turned around with a hamstring strain, Harden always performed poorly at critical moments in his career, resulting in no championship in his career so far.

The reason why he beat Butler to occupy the fourth place is mainly because Harden's strong ability to maintain the lower limit in the regular season. Whether he led the Rockets at his peak or later, he joined the Nets and now joins the Clippers, Harden's attendance, appearance time and team lead are top-notch standards.

37-year-old Durant ranked third. If it were based on the actual game influence and content, Durant should have been ranked higher.

Especially the Suns, where Durant was in defensive loopholes last season, had to devote more energy to the defensive end, which seriously affected his physical distribution.

Fortunately, Durant joined the Rockets with an excellent lineup in the offseason. He no longer needs to do dirty work and work on the defensive end. He can play more familiar key ball scorers. At the same time, Durant can reduce losses during the regular season to improve the number of games and durability.

Second place: Curry

09 The other two heroes, Curry is also 37 years old, but he is still the best shooter in the current service. He runs a lot of off-ball runs every night and plays an irreplaceable role on the offensive end.

In the selection of ESPN's 20 coaches, scouts and executives, Curry is regarded as the active American best player, so it is quite controversial to rank second in this list.

Even though Curry's projection efficiency declines after facing confrontation as he grows older, for a 37-year-old veteran, his output and efficiency are still top-notch. In addition, his defensive end continues to improve, Curry is fully qualified to obtain a higher ranking.

No. 1: James

James is about to turn 41. If you evaluate his performance from this point of view, James is fully qualified to be the top spot.

If we look at the actual game content, there is a lot of controversy in front of Curry and Durant. Even if his data is still beautiful, as he grows older, it has to be admitted that James is no longer able to maintain high-quality performance on both offense and defense at the same time.

Especially in the playoffs, James can only choose one end of the offense and defense and devote himself fully. Even so, considering his 40-year-old age, such performance is worthy of praise.

The rest are ranked as follows: Dream Chasing, DeRozan, George, Paul and Horford;

11-15: Ju Holiday, Clay, Dalow, Lillard and Conley;

16-20: Westbrook, Jaylen Green, Love, Seth Curry and Lowry.
