4. Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is a generational genius who can shoot from anywhere on the court. How do you guard against a defender like this when you're sprinting back to defense at full speed? Always thinking, "I can't let him get into the best position." Then you will realize that everything you do is in vain, because the whole court is full of gaps for him.
Although Curry has the ball to shoot at will, all of his shots are carefully planned. Sometimes taking a shot right after half court is a poor shot choice for other players. But for Curry, this is a good shot, just a routine operation.
If you try to interfere with his shooting, he can directly pass you and attack the basket, or pass the ball to an open teammate.
A self-propelled cannon player like Curry in the league is unstoppable.
5. James Harden

Stepbacks, throws, and European steps, James Harden has too many moves in his arsenal. He can always hit difficult shots, and he continues to develop new moves in the offseason, such as single-leg stepbacks and side steps. , this is Harden's ability.
Everything about Harden starts with his step back. He is simply a legend in the history of step back. Some people say it was a walk, but I think as long as the referee doesn't call it, it's a good shot. Whether Harden walks or not, you need to find a way to defend him.
All of Harden's offense is based on the step-back. He just puts the ball there, tempts you to step forward and steal it, and then waits for you to pass the ball the moment you do it. Harden is constantly reading his opponent's moves, and whenever you decide to take the ball, he reacts immediately. And if you give him too much space, he will shoot directly. If you get too close to him or try to block it, he will lean on you to buy a foul, or he will directly pass you and attack the basket.
Harden is the strongest isolation player among active players. If you ask others who is the most unstoppable player in the league right now, they will all be hovering between a healthy Durant and James.
But if you ask me, the answer is Harden.
