On May 1 day, Beijing time, American media CP columnist Guerrero listed the 50 most legendary players in NBA history according to data, historical status and honor. There are five people on the list so far. Come on, let's see who they are. (The space is too long, only the top ten and active players are introduced. If you want to see the detailed list, please pull it to the end of the article. Thank you. )
Tenth place: Kobe Bryant.
Career average of 25 points +5.2 rebounds +4.7 assists, regular season 1 MVP, 1 1 best player, 18 all-star selection, five NBA championships. He was hailed as the spiritual symbol of the Lakers, and his unfortunate death was also missed by fans all over the world. Bryant's talent was definitely not the best of the year, but he was successfully selected as an All-Star in the second season and won three consecutive championships with O 'Neal. After the two separated, Kobe led the Lakers to two championships. Black Mamba is the best scorer in NBA history, with a total career score of 33,643 points, making the Lakers the best scorer in history.
Ninth place: Duncan.
Career average 19 points+10.8 rebounds +3 assists, two regular season MVP, 10 best explosion, 15 all-star, five NBA championships. Duncan is one of the few legendary superstars who can occupy a place in NBA history as a power forward. He is a humble leader and the absolute spirit of the Spurs dynasty.
Eighth place: O 'Neill.
Career average of 23.7 points+10.9 rebounds +2.5 assists, regular season 1 MVP, 8 best player awards, 15 all-stars, 4 championships. It is said that his honor and data are slightly worse than Kobe. Why is he ranked higher than Kobe? Shaquille O 'Neal, who weighed over 300 pounds, dominated the basket. 1992 After winning the Best Newcomer Award, it took only three years to bring magic to the finals. This is the era of Jordan. 1996 After joining the Lakers, O 'Neill, together with Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson, created one of the greatest trio in league history. In the same season, O 'Neill won the regular season MVP+ All-Star MVP+ Finals MVP, and his career dominance was above Kobe Bryant.
Seventh place: larry bird.
Career average of 24.3 points+10 rebounds +6.3 assists, three regular season MVP, nine best, 12 all-star, three championships. Larry bird is very mediocre in physical talent, athletic ability and even confrontation ability, but his player is top-notch, confident and smart, and always appears in the key position at the critical moment, leading the Celtics to complete the dynasty revival and winning the MVP for three consecutive years. Only he has done this in NBA history.
Sixth place: Magic Johnson.
Career average 19.5 points +7.2 rebounds+1 1.2 assists. Three regular season MVPs, nine best, 12 all-stars, five championships. Without magicians, there would be no dominance of the Lakers in the 1980s. He is 2.06 meters tall. Before Simmons, he was the highest point guard in the NBA, with a keen sense of smell and an excellent sense of the overall situation. He also led the Lakers to the first back-to-back championship in 20 years, entered the finals nine times, won the championship five times, and retired early due to illness at 9 1. No one knows whether Jordan can finish the first three consecutive championships if the magician plays for a few more years.
Fifth place: bill russell.
Career average 15. 1 point +22.5 rebounds +4.3 assists, 12 all-stars, 1 1 championship. 13 career, 1 1 championship, no one can match him, called the Lord of the Rings.
Fourth place: Jabbar the Dog.
Career average is 24.6 points+1 1.2 rebounds +3.6 assists, 6 regular season MVP, 19 all-star, and 6 championships. Few people can surpass him in the number of MVPs in the regular season, and his peak performance lasted for 20 years. With a total career score of 38,837 points, Lao Zhan is expected to break Jabbar's NBA scoring record before retiring. In 20 16, ESPN ranked him second in NBA history, but it needs to be changed at this stage.
Third place: Chamberlain.
Career average is 30. 1 point +22.9 rebounds +4.4 assists, four MVPs in the regular season, seven best, 13 all-star and two championships. He scored 65,438+000 points against new york and 55 rebounds against Celtic, averaging 48.5 minutes per game. Chamberlain's ancient records are so far away from us.
Second place: James.
He averaged 27. 1 point +7.4 rebounds +7.4 assists in his career, 4 MVPs in the regular season, 12 best explosion, 16 all-star, and won three championships. James' career at 17 has been at its peak. He has created 30,000+8,000+8,000 data, and is expected to reach 40,000 points+10000 rebounds+10000 assists before retiring. Maybe no one will break it in the next 50 years. There are more than 200 records about James.
First place: Jordan.
Career average is 30. 1 point +6.2 rebounds +5.3 assists, 5 regular season MVP, 14 all-star and 6 NBA championships. He is the greatest basketball player in NBA history. You can read my previous article, why Jordan is the undisputed number one in history.
In addition to the top ten, among the active players, Durant ranked 29th, with regular season 1 MVP, nine All-Star selections and two championships, averaging 27 points +7. 1 rebounds +4. 1 assists in his career. Durant is the second active player, but he has not won two championships. He may be the goalkeeper in the top 50 in NBA history. The champion helped him improve his historical position.
Curry ranks 32nd, the greatest shooter of all time. He is only 1 m, 9 1, but he can shoot from any position on the court. Curry is not honored enough, only two regular season MVPs, six All-Stars and three championships. In addition, Curry is not a good defender.
Paul ranked 38th. In today's era when point guards have to be stunted, Paul still sticks to the last holy land, averaging 18.5 points +4.5 rebounds +9.5 assists in his career, being selected as the best player for four times, the best guard for seven times and the All-Star for 10 times. Paul's offensive and defensive skills are comprehensive, and the only fly in the ointment is that he did not reach the finals.
Shao Wei ranked 42nd, averaging 23.2 points +7. 1 rebound +8.3 assists in his career. He was selected as an All-Star nine times and scored twice, averaging triple doubles for three consecutive years. This data alone is enough to enter the top 50 in NBA history.
