The NBA offseason is quickly coming to an end. Free agency is over and several teams have a lot of new faces.

From LeBron James to James Harden to Damian Lillard, and all the stars in-between, the NBA has a ton of talent. It goes without saying that there are a plethora of NBA players in the elite class.
