The New York Knicks won the NBA title for the first time in 53 years, and one of their star players reached the all-time top 100 as a result of that historic run. As usual, I have added all of this season's data to my all-time player rankings, and 3 players joined the top 100 this season, with DeMar DeRozan sneaking in late in the regular season at #99, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Karl-Anthony Towns made it early in the playoffs, reaching #81 and #78 respectively at the end of the postseason. Wes Unseld, Amare Stoudemire, and Bob Lanier dropped out of the top 100 to make room for the 3 new members. In addition, there has been a change in the top 10 for the first time in over a decade, with Kevin Durant passing Hakeem Olajuwon to grab spot #10. Next season, there should be 2 new additions to the top 100, with a decent chance at 4 new faces. Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson should get there by midseason, while Devin Booker and Rudy Gobert both look likely to get there near the end of the season, barring any major injuries. Paul George also has an outside chance, but he would need to play much better than he has in the past 2 seasons. Here is my current top 100:
