At the turn of the century, the Lakers took the lead with O'Neal and Kobe’s inside and outside partners, opening another three consecutive championship dynasty; the Spurs continued from the "Twin Towers" to the "GDP" combination like Stone Buddha general stability; Canada Special , Ray Allen successfully defeated the old enemy Lakers led by Kobe at the North Shore Garden Arena and Pierce.
In the first 10 years of the 21st century, although there is no complete dominance dominated by Jordan in the 1990s, it can be said to be equally magnificent. How do players of this era define their historical status? A list given by the US media can be described as a reference point. Only one of the current players is selected. He is LeBron James. His career stability has long been comparable to Duncan
10th McGrady_ p2p
High school draft, the style of the game is chic and elegant, he first entered the league from the bench, but has already shown offensive talent. 22 points in a single game, the highest single-game record for a rookie in the 1997 season. Although 7 points per game in the season is not dazzling, it created a record for the highest shooting percentage in a single season for players under 21. Two seasons later ushered in an explosion, averaging 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, becoming a rising star. After joining the Magic, the original Gemini combination failed to lead the Magic back to the finals due to Hill injuries, but McGrady ushered in a comprehensive improvement in personal data, leading scoring, all-star, best team... After joining the Rockets, they formed the "Yao Mai combination", but due to injury problems, they could not replicate the legend of the OK combination.
ninth place Nowitzki
Mavericks is his starting point,His finish line stopped at the Lone Ranger. Although there was only one championship in his career, Nowitzki proved his worth with efficient scoring and single-core leadership. Before Nowitzki led the Mavericks to defeat the Heat, the jumper seemed out of reach, but Nowitzki used Golden Rooster independent jumpers to beat the powerful Heat team composed of James, Wade and Bosh. Greatness is proved by action.
eighth place Nash
Two MVP trophies, although O'Neill has a grudge about that MVP trophy, Nash did lead an era. Before the Warriors, the Suns led by Nash used seven seconds to solve a round offense. Even though Nash's shooting hot zone has already covered every corner of the court, he still uses passes again and again to create opportunities for his teammates. Stoudemire, Marion, Hill... are all getting better in Nash's passing, and he is an ideal template for point guards.
seventh place Wade
In early 2003, Wade and O'Neal entered the league in early 2003. In 2006, third-year students Wade and O'Neal took the Heat to the Mavericks to win the championship. With the same draft picks James and Bosh, the formation of the big team started the era of the Big Three. Regarding Wade's personal honor, because of the coincidence with Kobe's career, there is less light, and the honor of leading the team is slightly under-quality under the aura of James. But Wade defined how the 193cm Jordan played.
The sixth place Iverson
The Lakers came to the Finals with a record of sweeping the Western Conference. On this stage, they first tasted the taste of losing. The one standing opposite was only tall. The 183cm little man, he is Alan Iverson. Iverson is almost omnipotent in scoring, crossovers, jumpers, three-pointers, and even dunks. For rhythm control and speed advantages, Iverson scores like a bag.
fifth Garnett
Timberwolves Garnett was always accompanied by loneliness,Duncan, who is equally famous, has long been honored, but the all-around Garnett does not have enough good teammates. After years of hard work in the cold Minnesota, he finally tasted a championship after traveling east to Boston.
fourth place James
Whether it is the first 10 years of the 21st century or the second 10 years of the 21st century, James is undoubtedly the leader on this list. Stability is synonymous with him. He entered the league in early 2003 and led the weak Cavaliers to be blocked by the Pistons and the Celtics from the finals.
Third place O'Neal
He is undoubtedly one of the most dominant centers, even "one" can be omitted. The NBA revised the rules to limit his role on the inside, and the OK combination with Kobe was hailed as the strongest duo in NBA history. At that time, Kobe did not reach his personal best.
Second place Duncan
He is unsmiling, but the dull expression on the court is often his wisdom. It is difficult to find such a cornerstone player in the history of the NBA. Whether it's the OK combination period or the Heat Big Three period, Duncan's Spurs can always make their opponents suffer.
First Kobe
From the gradual progress of the OK period, to the lone hero mode, and then get Gasol , led the Lakers to win the final three times again. Kobe is the most perfect career in the "big four", and it is the inevitable result of his high demands on his professional attitude. With five championships and two FMVP trophies, Kobe is undeniably the strongest star in the first 10 years of the 20th century.
