Who’s the best player in the world? It seems like we have this conversation almost monthly, and it has sprung back up after Shaquille O’Neal gave his opinion on who he thinks is at the top of the heap.

After suffering devastating ACL and Achilles injuries, Klay Thompson missed the entirety of the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. He was stuck on the sidelines for 941 days before returning to the court on Jan.
