In the history of the league, the four major shooting guards are unique entities. At the beginning of the new century, Kobe , Iverson , Tracy McGrady and Carter were all talented shooting guards. They broke out in the same period, and they all had extremely gorgeous playing styles. He is said to be a representative of the picturesque, so he has the nickname of the top four shooting guards. The four major shooting guards not only look good at playing, but are also very powerful. Can all four of the top shooting guards enter the Hall of Fame? Carter may be a legacy, and he still has regrets in his 22-year career.
Iverson was the No. 1 pick in 1996. At his peak, he won the scoring title 4 times, was crowned regular season MVP, led the team to the Finals, was selected to the All-NBA Team many times, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Well deserved. Needless to say, Kobe is one of the top ten superstars in history. He has won five championships in his career. He also has the MVP and FMVP trophies in his hands. He is even more powerful in first team and first defense. He is also an undisputed celebrity. Hall of Fame.
Tracy McGrady has also been elected to the Hall of Fame. He can be said to be the threshold of the Hall of Fame. In his 15-year career, he won the scoring title twice during his peak period, was selected to the All-NBA Team twice, and scored a total of 18,381 points. It can be said that he was barely elected to the Hall of Fame, and he was considered a top star at his peak.
In contrast, Carter has the longest career among the four major shooting guards. He has played in the league for a total of 22 seasons, successively playing in Raptors , Nets , Magic, Suns , Mavericks , Played for teams such as the Grizzlies, Kings and Hawks. As the first dunker in history, Carter had the best dunk performance in history when he was young. On the court, he can dunk at his fingertips, combining explosive power and beauty, making him unique. Also because of his gorgeous playing style, Carter was once elected as the All-Star voting champion 4 times, and he is an out-and-out popular king.
Although he is very popular and has wonderful dunks, Carter's peak length is not long, and he does not have many honors. In his 22-year career, Carter averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In his peak season, he averaged 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He has been selected to the All-Star stage 8 times. In addition, he was selected to the All-NBA Second Team once and to the All-NBA Third Team once. This is the only honor in Carter's career.
He has no championship, has not reached the finals, has not won the MVP trophy, has no scoring champion, and has not been in the best team. In terms of hard honors, he basically cannot reach the threshold of the Hall of Fame. After all, McGrady has won two scoring titles and two All-NBA teams, which is quite valuable. Carter's advantage is that he has played for 22 years and has the longest history. A total of 25,728 points were scored, which is also at the forefront of history. However, from the perspective of strength and honor, Carter is difficult to compare with Kobe, Iverson or even Tracy McGrady, and there is a high probability that Carter will become a legacy in the Hall of Fame.
