Secondly, look at the personal honor obtained by combining professional resume. In terms of great honor, Garnett and Nowitzki won the highest individual award MVP in the regular season in 2003-04 and 2006-07 respectively. In terms of small honors, Garnett won the best defensive player 1 time, 9 times in defense, 4 times in rebounding, 4 times in the first team, 3 times in the second team, 2 times in the third team, and 15 times in all-star ... Although Nowitzki is less than Garnett in the best defensive player, 9 times in best defense and 1 time in all-star, he has one more. Generally speaking, their personal honors are basically the same.
Third, combine their style of play and the performance of both ends of attack and defense. Their physical talents and competition styles are completely different. Garnett, 265,438+065,438+0, with a wingspan of 226 and a bounce of 90cm, has always been known for his versatility. His career has been maintained at 20+65,438+00 +5 for six consecutive seasons, and in the season when he won the MVP in the regular season, he even played a horrible all-round performance of 24.2 points+65,438+03.9 rebounds+5 assists. In his career of 2 1, Garnett averaged 17.8 points+10 rebounds +3.7 assists+1.3 blocked shots+1.4 blocked shots, tied for the third place in history with Karl Malone and Jabbar, with a total figure of 25,000. On the defensive end, Garnett has the honor of 9 times one defense and 3 times two defenses, and also won the DPOY in 2007-08 season, which can be said to be an all-round player.
Look at Nowitzki again. As a European white player, although his physical talent is not as good as Garnett's and his defensive ability is not as good as Garnett's, his scoring ability is much higher than Garnett's total score of 3 1560 in the regular season, ranking sixth in the historical total score list, and he also averages 20.7 points +7.5 rebounds per game. In the MVP of the 2006-07 season, he played 78 games and won 24 games. The difference between Garnett and Nowitzki is that Garnett's attack area is closer and more comprehensive, and he can effectively control whether it is a mid-distance turn-over jumper, a substitute singles or a dry pull. However, Nowitzki can be said to be a player who changes the style of the league. A big man of 265,438+03, relying on an independent backup jumper, has almost no solution to the defenders. In particular, he is one of the few power forwards who is good at long-range three-pointers.
To sum up, Garnett and Nowitzki are neck and neck in personal honor; Both ends of attack and defense have their own advantages; Garnett is far from being able to lead the team, so he is still in a higher historical position.
