Howie’s 100: The top NBA players across The Ringer, ESPN and 2K
Three of the big top-100 lists, blended into one consensus ranking. Tap any player to see his last season and what’s ahead, then build your own top 10 and share it.
Howie’s 100
No players match.
* How the score works: each list gives 100 points for No. 1, 99 for No. 2 and so on down to 1 for No. 100, and 0 to anyone it left out. A player’s score is his average across the lists. The Ringer’s list is its final 2025-26 edition, so it couldn’t include this year’s rookies or players who missed last season or were ruled out for it (marked n/a); they’re scored on ESPN and 2K alone. Ties go to the player with the better single ranking. Cell colors compare each list’s rank with Howie’s 100.
