A few weeks ago, James got his wish to win the fourth championship in his NBA career, and also the fourth FMVP. For Lao Zhan, winning the Lakers this time is undoubtedly a huge historical advancement. James followed the pace of basketball god Jordan step by step.
When it comes to achievements in the NBA, the championship ring can be said to have the greatest impact on player honor. Many players have played very well at the peak of their careers, and their personal abilities have been fully reflected. The style of play is cool and the technical characteristics are very individual. They are deeply loved by the majority of fans. However, I feel sorry for not being able to win a championship trophy in his life, which means that no matter how strong he is at his peak, his historical ranking will not be high.
Let's take a look at the 12 uncrowned kings in NBA history.
NO.12 Reggie Miller
Miller leaves everyone’s impression of the "famous" Miller moment. Although the popularity is not as high as the "Meddie Moment", its difficulty and chance are no worse than the "Meddie Moment".
Miller played in the first game against New York on behalf of the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals on May 7, 1995. Miller scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds at the end of the fourth quarter, helping the team reverse. The Knicks won the game. Later, everyone called the "Miller Moment" the moment when the Jedi counterattack was finally successfully reversed in the final moments of the NBA game. Miller was able to achieve this moment, and it was not just accidental. Just look at his achievements. Z5z has a total of 5 All-Stars and 3 three-times in his career. He was successfully inducted into the Hall of Fame in 12 years. He was once a single quarter in the playoffs. He made 5 three-pointers and made 100 three-pointers in 9 consecutive seasons. At the same time, he was still an Olympic champion, but unfortunately he failed to win the NBA.
NO.11 Dikembe-Mutombo
was selected to the NBA All-Star lineup during his rookie season; he won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award four times; he was selected for the NBA All-Defensive Player of the Year award three times, led the rebounding team twice, blocked shots three times Wang was elected to the Hall of Fame in 15 years. Mutombo has a certain ability to dominate the interior and is a full defensive champion. Mutombo has been teammates with Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Kidd and Iverson and is their most powerful assistant.
At the same time, Mutombo’s finger shaking after blocking the cap is also very classic. He is a respectable player. For him from Africa, he has devoted his life to charity and called on many basketball players to participate in charity activities. admirable.
NO.10 Grant Hill
Grant Hill, as the best rookie of 1995, has a very good performance in the next NBA arena. He was selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team in 1997, the NBA All-NBA Second Team 4 times, 7 All-Stars, and he was successfully selected into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
It is worth mentioning that Hill once defeated Michael Jordan in 1996 to become the All-Star vote. At that time, he was also treated as the "Jordan successor". However, Hill later suffered a serious ankle injury. Injury, which also made his NBA career bleak.
NO.9 Dominic Wilkins
86 scoring champion, 1 team, 9 All-Stars, and entered the Hall of Fame in 2006. Wilkins' career is still full of many bright spots. Nicknamed "The Essence of Human Movies", he has excellent jumping ability and can often stun the audience with super dunks. Unfortunately, Wilkins did not win a championship in his 17-year career.
NO.8 Patrick Ewing
was born in Jamaica, is 213cm tall and weighs 116kg. Ewing's physical fitness is excellent, he has strong card position ability and outstanding explosive power. Ewing's play style relies mainly on throwing and throwing to the basket. It is a standard center technical movement and is very solid. As a center forward, Ewing's back-up singles are well trained, although Ewing's speed is not fast enough, the moves are not so fancy, and there are not many fake moves. But very solid. But being able to have such coordination, ball feel, and agility like himThe forward player, I guess there is only one big O besides him.
NO.7 Vince Carter
"I'm a demigod", most people in the NBA regard him as the dunk king. Indeed, Carter's dunk was the only one in that era, and he staged a super windmill in the dunk contest, which drew cheers from the audience. However, don't ignore Carter's ability in other areas because of his strong dunk talent. Although he is not fast enough to move and not sensitive enough, his explosive power is very strong, the basic skills are very solid, and the basketball feels very good. The most important thing about
is that such a dunk king has no lack of outside shooting ability. So far, Carter has made more than 2,000 shots from the three-point line for several years. This achievement is also ranked in the top ten in history. In addition, Carter has also won the 99 best rookie and has been selected to eight All-Stars.
NO.6 John Stockton
9 assists, 2 steals, 2 battles, historical assists, and he entered the Hall of Fame in 2009. Z6z Stockton has won nine assists in a row, and he is the player with the most assists so far, and the total number of assists and steals are the first in history. However, assists and steals did not help Stockton's team all the way through. His physical fitness was too mediocre, his attacking ability was average, and the confrontation was very poor. So even if some of Stockton's statistics are very good sometimes, but his presence on the court is not very strong, so far he has not won a championship trophy.
NO.5 Charles Barkley
is one of the rare inside players in NBA history with less than two meters. He was the MVP in 1993 and the rebounding champion in 87. He scored 5 times and entered the Hall of Fame in 2006. is nicknamed "flying pig in the sky". Barkley is one of the strongest power forwards in NBA history, and the threat of his back is also particularly great. With his unique "butt" hard work, the opponent's defensive line has nothing to do. Barkley's strength is also very strong, but he once hugged O'Neal.
NO.4 Karl-Malone
Karl-Malone has always been a great weapon to create kills. He scored 9787 points on free throws in his career, ranking first in NBA history.
Judging from the honor data alone, Malone should be the best among many uncrowned kings and the one closest to the championship.
He has won two regular season MVP awards for , led the team twice to the finals three times, 11 consecutive All-NBA teams (89-99), 14 All-Stars, and three first defenses. In addition, as a member of the dream team, he has won two Olympic championships and was selected as the NBA 50 superstar in 1996. also, he is the second in the history of scoring, the seventh in the history of rebounds, averaging 25+10, but it is a pity that he is in the same era as Jordan.
NO.3 Steve Nash
two-time MVP, 5 assists, 3 times in a row, 18 years into the Hall of Fame. Z6z, nicknamed "The Son of the Wind," Nash attracts numerous fans. But Nash's biggest weakness is defense, and his template is somewhat similar to Stockton. He is the top offensive maker in history and can always find the most appropriate opening at the most appropriate time.
As an excellent defender, Nash not only has excellent performance in passing organization, his shooting ability is also top-notch, and he can always turn personal offensive threats into opportunities. However, Nash's biggest shortcoming is on the defensive end, and it seems that his NBA career lacked a bit of luck.
NO.2 Tracy McGrady
The teenager who created a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, Tracy McGrady has superb skills and super popularity. His dry three-pointer has always been regarded as a model of chic and handsome. In the 2013 Spurs vs. Heat finals, this was his closest chance to his dream of a championship, but he was helpless but dashed by Ray Allen with a perfect three-pointer, and he felt sorry for him. McGrady's peak period is particularly short. Even so, he has won two scoring titles, two-time MVP, seven All-Stars, and entered the Hall of Fame in 2017. I believe that McGrady is the youth of many fans.
NO.1 Allen Iverson
01 MVP, 4 times in scoring, 3 times in steals, 16 years into the Hall of Fame. In 2000-10, he was selected to the NBA All-Star team for 11 consecutive times and won the NBA All-Star MVP 2 times, was selected to the NBA All-NBA Team 3 times, was selected to the NBA All-NBA Team 2 team 3 times, and was selected to the NBA All-Star Team 3 team in 2006. .
Although Iverson's achievements are not as good as some of the players listed above, his true strength is beyond our imagination. is only 183cm tall, but he averaged 41.1 minutes per game throughout his NBA career, scoring 26.7 points, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals. Looking back at the entire NBA history, is unprecedented in his height, and perhaps no one has come after. Let’s take a look at what the NBA celebrities say about Iverson:
"He is like a small version of me-going forward courageously, invincible, and never complaining.-Heat team O'Neal
"Iverson is the kind of A player who goes all out to win every day. "He is a Hall of Fame player. Would you not want to be teammates with such a player?"-James
"With his body, people think he can't do many things, but he uses actions to prove that people are wrong. He is a great player, no one can deny it."-Jordan
"The talented and talented Iverson is obviously more challenging. If you hear admiration and surprise from the audience, it must be Iver What kind of difficult moves did Sen make."-Magic Johnson
"For me, guarding Iverson is indeed a tough challenge. He is the fastest player I have ever seen!-Si Coty Pippen
"Forgive me for the following statement-great players can't stop them, even if he is born small. "——NBA Commissioner David Stern
"Young man, you don't know how strong Iverson was back then. "——Kobe
"An incredible genius player. "——Garnett
Maybe Iverson is the answer to the uncrowned king! Z6z
