Most of these stars are so consistent in their top performance that fans can rest assured that they are consistently on top of their game. But the rise of young stars seeking to establish themselves as a force on the courts has threatened the reign of the NBA's greatest players.

As the established acts progress each year, setting and breaking NBA records, there is still stiff competition to climb to number one in the ranking of the best players in the NBA.

Themoney has compiled what we believe are the top 10 best players in the NBA right now, for the 2019-20 season based on performance.

Ranking of the 10 best players in the NBA for the 2019-20 season

10. Damian LillardPortland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard is having one of his best seasons in the NBA.

Nevertheless, Lillard has played 13 games in the NBA where he has scored no less than 30 points, since the start of the decade. What makes him the only player in the league to have played a game at 13, 30 points.

Despite his astonishing performances, the Portland Trail Blazers are currently far from a postseason qualification, which could ultimately affect the young aspiring star. Lillard probably would have been ranked higher if the Portland team had had one of the best seasons in their 50-year history.

9. Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers

Paul George's momentum last season was tremendous. The star was among the top finalists for the league MVP title and finished in third place. He also secured a berth in the NBA All-Defensive First Team, which made up for his failure in the 2019 All-Star game. But following a move from Oklahoma City Thunder to the Los Angeles Clippers, needed for him to provide the support star Kawhi Leonard needs at the Clippers, things have started to go downhill.

The star fell with an injury and has been struggling ever since. In a recent game against the former team, Oklahoma City Thunder, the star who scored 16 points, said he is improving, which is true. While waiting for him to return to 100% of his form, it is interesting to point out that despite his struggles, he is currently having a good season, but the fans are expecting more.

8. Russell WestbrookHouston rockets

Former NBA finalist and 2020 All-star Russell Westbrook made history with Rockets teammate James Harden in February 2020.

Bradley Beal, who led the league in February, holds the record for the longest streak at 25 points of the 2019/20 season, having recorded 35 points on Wednesday (March 4). If the star stays true to this form, he will certainly be one of the main contenders for the MVP title of the season. The Wizards' appearance in the playoffs will also help his run for the MVP title.

6. Stephen CurryState warriors in gold

The 2019/20 season is certainly not a season, which will go down in Stephen Curry's books as one of his favorite seasons.
