Foreword
There is a vague saying on the Internet these days that the Nets are already the top 6 with Griffin and Adelaide! After the Lakers joined Zhuang Shen, the Big Three frame.
The term giant is actually not clearly defined. In many people's minds, as long as they have played all-star , they are giants. Many of the five-star warriors who have appeared before think that the Warriors are the Big Five, but they are not.
So what is a giant? I think the minimum minimum must meet the following points. Optimistic, what I said is the lower limit!
First, multiple All-Stars or the best team of the season as a player of the year
In fact, this topic contains three conditions, multiple All-Stars or the best team of the season, and the most important The year of the fight.
1. Selected as a star many times. The All-Star is a basic manifestation of a player's ability. A team often only has the boss and the second child to be selected. If this number of times is more than 5 times, it means that the player is already a star-level player at least. Similar to Jordan , who has only scored once in the All-Star, shows that his star level is limited.
2. Selected into the best team of the season. Being selected for the best team means that the player is one of the top 15 performers of the season. Of course, it is not easy to be selected for the best team, but at least it must have the ability to be selected, or be on the selected reserve list. Or to be more specific, you need to be among the top 20 in the league.
3. Player of the year when he was playing. This is easier to understand. Players who have not suffered serious injuries or maintain the best team level skills are generally under the age of 32. We call them the year of playing. No matter how old they are, they can’t be called playing. Years. If the player’s star level is particularly high and the ability is particularly strong, like James Durant, even if James is 40 years old or like this year Durant comes back with Achilles tendon rupture, you call them. The giants are no problem.It varies from person to person.
After these conditions are put out, it is obvious that the Nets Six Stars first ruled out the status of the giant is Jordan. Only once selected to the All-Star, and obviously no longer have the strength of the best team level. This player and the level of strength are obviously not enough for giants to discuss standards.
Second, the salary level is the maximum salary or close to the maximum salary
The salary level is a true portrayal of a player's ability. The stronger the ability, the more you earn. This is beyond doubt.
A player who can be called a giant must at least receive a maximum salary or a salary close to the maximum salary level during the season. According to the current salary cap (the 2021 NBA salary cap is $115 million), the top-paid players can get up to 30% of the salary cap, or 35%, that is, without considering the salary cut Next, a player’s salary for the season must be more than 30 million U.S. dollars. When this salary is obtained, it is initially qualified to discuss whether it can be called a giant! Because the maximum salary is everywhere, but the actual level varies from person to person.
Obviously, Griffin, Aldridge will vote after the buyout. It does not meet this minimum standard. The simplest reason is that if you think about it this way, if a player is particularly capable and can lead When the team wins more victories, it won’t be bought out, right?
Third, can the boss of a team lead the team to the playoffs?
In fact, the first two conditions have already wiped out a group of people. The third condition is an advanced condition. In other words, if the previous conditions are met, if the third point can still be met, then this player must be a giant!
Let’s not talk about leading the team playoffs how far,As long as the player is paired with a suitable team, he can lead the team forward, or he can be called the well-deserved boss in this team! Then it shows that this player has strong personal ability and charisma. Some people have good leadership skills, but they have too little accumulative honors, and it is difficult to enter the best lineup. However, the leadership ability is good. For example, Dinwiddie, There is almost no personal honor, but leading the Nets to the playoffs. Can you say he is a giant? still can not. So I said that the first two points are the premise, if the first two points are met, and then the last point is met, then it is undoubtedly a giant.
Span9span Cavaliers The three big three have been the bosses of a team. Although Irving and Love have limited ability to lead the team, their personal abilities are still significantly higher than other ordinary players by one level. The undisputed boss in the team, besides, is also a regular visitor to the All-Star, so there is no dispute that the three of them are called giants.
As for Love suffered from injuries in the late James Cavaliers 2.0 in 18 years, and gradually lost the ability to be a giant, and can no longer be selected for the All-Star or the best team, it can be said that James alone led the team. That is single core, I think this is not controversial. (Regular season 17+9 playoffs 15+10, without Irving, have not scored more than 20)
Correct a mistake, the five-star warriors are not the big five!
The Warriors gathered five Titans: Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green and Cousins! In order to highlight the disparity in contrast, the outside world even threw out the slogan of James vs. Five-Star Warriors. People feel that the Warriors have the feeling of a Big Five. Actually? How can the Warriors have the Big Five!
These five are all celebrities, but:
First, Cousins’s Achilles tendon rupture has returned to the peak and the peak is long gone. He took the middle class of 5 million. Can you say that he is a giant ? Second, Green’s contract at that time was only more than 20 million. He has only been selected for a second team and a third team once in his career. With the help of splash brothers, he has made three All-Stars. You can only say that he is one. The star is also the core player of the Warriors, but he can't be called a giant!
Third, the Splash brothers formed by Thompson and Curry swept the entire league with three points.He himself was selected to 5 All-Stars and signed a maximum salary renewal contract with the Warriors. It is one of the biggest heroes that the Warriors have been able to win three titles in five years! The status of a giant is well-deserved.
As for Durant and Curry, there is no dispute, the MVP, scorer-level player can be called a giant even if he retains half of his skills, because the name is too loud!
So the five-star warriors that are talked about are actually the Big Three framework, with Curry, Durant, and Thompson as the attacking core, Green is more of a blue-collar role.
Conclusion
Today the league is still dominated by dual-core architecture, only the Nets are the real Big Three framework, which is why the Nets can attract more high-quality buyout players.
So don't say that the Nets are the Big 6 in the future, it's shameful...
