The sports media on the other side of the ocean like to rank NBA stars in history, and the fans also like to discuss them. While enjoying it, they often start verbal battles when they disagree. It is precisely because of the topicality that the NBA can be stable and benign. Development, after all, is a business alliance, and enthusiasm equals benefits. Xiao Hua is happy to see this situation. The basketball court is divided into five positions. Although the small ball era has blurred the position, the players still have a more accurate positioning. Then, which position in the NBA has the smallest gap between the historical first and the historical second? Which position has the biggest gap?
Point guards: Magic Johnson and Curry
The No. 1 point guard in NBA history has almost no suspense. Magic Johnson, who is still leading the Lakers, bears the brunt of his 13-year career. Magic Johnson owns 5 championships, 3 regular season MVPs, 3 finals MVPs, 10 best lineups, 9 of which were first team, and were rated as the top five in history by major mainstream sports media. The second point guard in history is Curry (ESPN has placed Curry in second place). As of now, Curry has 3 championships, 2 regular season MVPs, 7 best teams, including 4 Time after time. In the first position, there is still a big gap between Curry and magician Johnson.
Shooting guard: Jordan and Kobe
The first shooting guard in NBA history has no suspense. The "God of Basketball" Jordan has won 6 championships in his 15-year career (twice three times). Consecutive championships), 5 regular season MVPs, 6 finals MVPs, 10 first battles, 9 first defenses, excellent offense and defense, Jordan's peak period is still very long, although he has retired for nearly 20 years, but Jordan is still The top players in the NBA belong to the ceiling ranks. The second shooting guard in history is Kobe. He and Jordan are equally influential. In 20 years of his career, he has won 5 championships, 1 MVP, 2 Finals MVP, 15 best team, of which 11 times a team, 12 times The best defensive lineup, nine of which were one defense. In terms of the second position,I personally think that the gap between Kobe and Jordan is almost the same as that of the number one position.
Small forward: James and Bird
The first small forward in NBA history is James. Although many fans do not admit it, it has indeed become a fact in the eyes of most media. So far, James has counted 4 championships, 4 regular season MVPs, 4 finals MVPs, 17 best team, 13 of which were first team, 6 best defensive team, 5 of which were first defense. The second small forward is Bird. As a Celtic meritorious star, he has 3 championships, 3 regular season MVPs, 2 finals MVPs, 10 best teams, 9 of which are one team and 3 times. Selected as the second defense. In the third position, the gap between the two is not very obvious, much smaller than the first and second positions.
Power forwards: Duncan and Nowitzki
The No. 1 power forward in NBA history is undoubtedly the Totem Duncan of the Spurs, who led his career in 19 years In the playoffs, a total of 5 championships, 2 regular season MVPs, 3 finals MVPs, 15 best teams, 10 of which were first team, 15 best defensive team, of which 8 were first defense, which is very typical An inside player with both offense and defense. The second-largest forward in history has controversy. In fact, Antetokounmpo has been ranked second in terms of honor after winning the championship this season. After all, he has one more regular season MVP and one best defensive player than Nowitzki. In order to save his life, Nowitzki prevails, 1 championship, 1 regular season MVP, 1 finals MVP, 12 best team, of which 4 times a battle. In the third position, the gap between Nowitzki and Duncan is obviously much larger than the above three positions.
Center: The first and second centers are too controversial
The top centers in NBA history are too controversial. Until now, there is still no mainstream media to give a clear answer. Of course,Even if some media give the answer, the fans will be blushing. O'Neal , Chamberlain , Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are all historical super insiders. They have all commanded the times, and the fifth position is also the existence of the smallest gap among all positions on the basketball court. And the position with the biggest gap should be the fourth position. This is why Antetokounmpo is called the second forward in history by some fans only after winning a championship. If you compare Antetokounmpo and Duncan, the two The gap is also very obvious. The number of championships alone differs by four. This is simply an unavoidable gap.
