LeBron James left out NBA top 5 rankings

Sports Brief earlier reported on ESPN's annual ranking of NBA players ahead of the new season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid completed the top five.

Considering his Lakers team failed to make the playoffs, James was ranked sixth, which isn't terrible for a guy entering his 20th season.
