"Friends Selection" 🌟The 25 top NBA stars in the new season: Who is the fifth best forward in the league?

12:18pm, 14 October 2025Basketball

🔔The footsteps of the new season are becoming increasingly clear, and it’s time to start our annual TOP25 selection of NBA stars! Different from previous years, this selection will adopt a new competition format - group duels based on player position.

We will divide it into five groups: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. Each position group will select 5 top stars to form a list of the top 25 stars in the new season.

This position reference is strictly based on the actual roles played by players most of the time last season, and strives to fairly present the top combat power of each position.

The definition of modern power forward has been greatly broadened, and its core characteristics are versatility and mismatch advantages. They are either the core of the team, a high-space fortress, a defensive gate, or an all-around forward. This position no longer has a fixed template and requires players to have a combination of inside physique, outside skills and wing mobility, becoming a master key on the court that cannot be easily defined.

This selection is based on the players' performance and data last season, and looks forward to their potential in the new season (đź””It is determined that long-term injured players will not participate in the selection: such as Tatum, etc.).
