Throughout the 76-year history of the league, influential figures such as Jordan, Russell, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Duncan, and Curry all belong to one city, and their careers completely overlap with their teams.

affect nba?

Throughout the 76-year history of the league, influential figures such as Jordan, Russell, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Curry are all one man, one city, their careers and the ball they play in. The teams are completely aligned.

and LeBron signed freely every time he changed teams, firmly holding his destiny in his own hands.

If a transaction wants to shock the league, first of all, the subject of the transaction must be a star, or even a super giant above the regular season MVP level.

The influence of simultaneous transactions must profoundly affect the strength pattern of the league and last for at least five years.

Compare the "super big deals" in each decade. Is Durant worthy of it?

1. Chamberlain in the 1960s - ending Celtics eight consecutive championships

Before the 1959-60 season, the great Wilt Chamberlain joined the Philadelphia Warriors (the predecessor of the Golden State Warriors).

averaged 37.6 points and 27.0 rebounds per game in his rookie season and was the regular season MVP.

His excellence makes him seem like he doesn't belong in the league, the NBA, or humanity.

In the first five seasons of his career with the Warriors, he won five scoring titles, five rebounding titles and one regular season MVP.

Without Bill Russell and that Celtics team, he would be the dominant player in the league.

But the fact is that the champions in those five seasons were all Green Army.

The NBA at that time was clearly divided. Chamberlain won the statistics and the regular season, but the championship and playoffs will always belong to Russell and the Celtics.

In 1962, the Warriors moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco and officially changed their name to San Francisco Warriors , and have since settled in the Bay Area.

But Chamberlain has adapted to life in Philadelphia. He loves the food, entertainment, and especially the beautiful women here. He is not happy in San Francisco.

The weirdest thing is that the Warriors' owners are tired of him losing to Russell again and again, and even think that he has a heart disease and cannot support the team's future. What's more, the team already has another great center, Nate Thurmond.

After having an NBA team in Philadelphia again (the Syracuse Nationals moved in in 1963 and were renamed the Philadelphia 76ers), they have been trying to find ways to welcome back the former god "Big Dipper" Chamberlain.

Finally, in January 1965, after Chamberlain had broken up with the San Francisco Warriors' front office, coaches, and most of his teammates, they succeeded.

only used Paul Newman, Connie Dierking, Lee Schafer, and US$200,000 in cash to acquire Zhang Dashuai .

Here Chamberlain is no longer greedy for data and has better teammates.

Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham, both of whom were later selected as NBA 75 players, became his right-hand man.

Chamberlain finally understood how to turn his talent into victory. In the 1965-66 season, his scoring dropped to a career low of 33.5 points. In the 1966-67 season, his scoring dropped to 24.1 points, but his assists doubled to 7.8 times.

In the 1967 playoffs, he finally defeated his old rival Russell and defeated his old team the Warriors in the Finals, ending the Celtics' eight consecutive championships.

Although Chamberlain only played for the 76ers for four years before running to the Lakers,

the Celtics dynasty of eight consecutive championships was eventually ended by him. As the most terrifying "data king" in history, the only one who can The legend who went head-to-head with Russell,

was the only one who proved that the undefeated Celtics could be defeated.

The 1920s and 1970s The shocking departure of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the "first man in the league"

The 1970s was the darkest and chaotic period in the history of the league.

Racial discrimination, alcoholism, drugs, and fighting made the NBA at that time just a minor league in the North that could go bankrupt at any time.

did not have a dynasty team. In that decade, a total of eight teams won the championship.

But there is a real ruler among the players, Lou Alcindor, who we now call "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Throughout the 1970s, he won five regular season MVPs (71, 72, 74, 76, 77). At that time, this award was still voted by players, which shows his dominance at that time.

But in terms of the team's record, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is much more depressed.

He won the championship in the second year of his career (1970-71 season), averaging 32+16 per game with the help of Big O Robertson.

But since "Big O" has gradually aged and retired, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has also been unable to support himself in Milwaukee .

Lost to Chamberlain (Lakers) in 1972, lost to Thurmond (Warriors) in 1973, lost to Cowens (Celtics) in 1974, and did not even make the playoffs in 1975.

What's worse is that the conflict between him and the Bucks management is becoming increasingly serious like his predecessor Chamberlain.

He was tired of the wet and cold weather in Milwaukee,

and the Bucks were tired of him participating in various anti-war demonstrations.

He suffered from the lack of good helpers around him,

The Bucks questioned his inability to lead the team into the season as an MVP. After the game,

he longed for a big city, longed for sunshine, longed for more friends and respect, and Milwaukee couldn't give him these.

So during the 1975 offseason, the Lakers once again took advantage of the situation.

The university was just at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). Tiangou, who became a legend, seemed to have found a savior.

So the Lakers only used Elmo Smith, Junior Bridgeman, Brian Winters, and Dave Meyers. These four are destined to have the most important experience in their careers as "The Sky". The player who "hooked the trade chip" got the most powerful center in the league at the time.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar flees Milwaukee, and the Lakers win again.

And fate seems to be trying to compensate for the grievance of "having no helper" in the Bucks in the first half of Tiankou's career. Four years later, he waited for another legendary defender, Magic, to create the "Showtime" dynasty.

He won five more championship rings with the Lakers. After playing for another fourteen years, he retired with the record of leading the league in total points.

The 1930s and 1980s Moses Malone - Breaking the dominance of the black and white heroes

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was over 30, Larry Bird and Magic were not yet available When he dominated the league, the king of the NBA was actually named Moses Malone.

NBA offensive rebounding king (6731).

He is 2.08 meters tall, and even now he is not a perfect center. But his trunk as thick as a tree root allowed him to establish a solid territory on the inside at that time.

He was the insider who had the most exaggerated enthusiasm for rebounding before Rodman.

In the 1978-79 season, he averaged 24.8 points and 17.6 rebounds per game, MVP.

In the 1981-82 season, he averaged 31.1 points and 14.7 rebounds per game, MVP.

In the 1982-83 season, he averaged 24.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, mvp+championship+fmvp.

In the finals, he led his team to a 4-0 sweep of the defending champion Lakers, defeating their old rival Skyhook. He only had a total of 30 rebounds in four games,

while he averaged 25.8 points and 18.0 rebounds per game.

Before 1982, he was with the Houston Rockets and was the originator of the Space City super center tradition.

In the West, the Rockets were the most troublesome opponent for the Lakers at the time. The aging sky hook was like an old man practicing Tai Chi in front of Malone. He met the muscle-bound Bajiquan master. He was competing in the paint every time. It was smashed into pieces.

In the first round of the 1981 playoffs, the Lakers were defeated by the Rockets 2-1. Malone scored 32.7 points and 17.7 rebounds from Skyhook.

In the Eastern Conference, the 76ers led by "Dr. J" blocked the Celtics. Every time the two super forwards faced off, there were sparks.

During the 1982 offseason, the Rockets were unwilling to meet Malone's salary wishes. However, according to the salary agreement at the time, he still needed to be traded before he could leave the team.

So the Philadelphia 76ers sent away Caldwell Jones and the 1983 first-round pick to get the rebounding bully that caused the most headaches for Magic and Skyhook.

So in the 1982-83 season, they had 12 wins and 3 losses in the playoffs, and won the championship all the way.

Throughout the 1980s, Magic and Bird won eight of the ten championships. Except for 1989, when both were "stealed" by the Pistons due to injuries, he was the only one to steal from the peak black and white duo. The only winners were Moses Malone and Dr. J.

This is something that even Michael Jordan has not done.

In the 1940s and 1990s, Rodman - the third corner of the Bulls dynasty

In the 1990s, there were many transactions about superstars. For example, Barkley and Drexler go to the Rockets, Mourning goes to Heat and so on. But the one who really changed the direction of the league was

In 1995, the Bulls traded backup center Will Purdue for Dennis Rodman, who was making trouble in the Spurs.

The cheapest "super deal" in history

As soon as Michael Jordan came back in the 1994-95 season, he was eliminated in the playoffs by O'Neal and penny 's Magic. That was his only playoff defeat in the 1990s.

In that series, although Jordan was ridiculed by Dennis Scott that "he can't fly anymore", he still had 31.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Hardaway, known as "Jordan's successor", was defended and only scored 18.5 points and 7.2 assists, which was not much better than Jordan's previous opponents.

What the Bulls really can't handle is the 22-year-old Shaquille O'Neal.

24.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks. This was O'Neal's performance in that series.

"Cobra" Grant, the Bulls' main force in the first three consecutive championships, has gone to the Magic, and old Cartwright has also left. In front of the sharks, the new inside combination of Longley and Kukoc is like two ignorant teenagers who strayed into the arena.

The two of them combined only had 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, and they had to pay 9 fouls, which was not enough for the Sharks to fill their teeth.

That's not all. At that time, the league had just won two consecutive championships, a general who had just won the mvp, the old rival Ewing, , and the so-called "fifth center" Alonzo Mourning, Jordan If the Bulls want to return to the top, they must have a strong inside line.

But no one expected it to be Dennis Rodman.

Who is Rodman?

was the number one defensive leader of the "Pistons Bad Boys" that bullied Jordan back then, and was a direct disciple of Bill Laimbeer , the most evil guy in the NBA.

Legends such as Jordan, Magic, and Bird will all become his prey when facing the Pistons. He even personally gave Pippen a shot.

After 1991, he seemed to have opened up the second line of Ren and Du, and began to dominate the league's rebounding. Until 1998, he led rebounding for seven consecutive seasons. The lowest is 15.0 per year, and the highest is 18.7 per year.

His mentor, spiritual father and Pistons head coach Chuck Daly once said of his rebounding:

"(In our time) this is unreal. His rebounding skills remind me of Bill Bill." Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, but he is obviously only 6 feet 7 inches (2 meters 01)! "

Jordan's reaction to this deal was " This is cool, let's wait and see."

Pippen's answer was "The craziest thing than this is probably to get Ranbir here."

And the coolest one is Zen Master.

On the first day when Rodman reported to the Bulls, he entered his office and saw an Indian bull head hanging on the wall.Both of them had a special liking for Indian culture, so they chatted all afternoon. Before leaving, Rodman just said:

"You will not encounter problems with me, we will win the championship again."

Not one, but three.

In those three years, the Bulls won 72, 69, and 62 regular season games respectively.

's record is better than the first three consecutive championships.

In the 1996 playoffs, the Bulls encountered the Magic again. Rodman, who was ten centimeters shorter and 30 pounds lighter on the court, tortured O'Neal to no end.

While the Bulls were swept 4-0, the Sharks made a total of 17 turnovers in the four games.

Later, he had to deal with Sean Kemp, the most popular violent power forward at the time, and Karl Malone, the second highest scorer in history, and they all completed the tasks brilliantly. It even fits surprisingly well with the triangle offense.

Especially in the 1997-98 finals, his fight with Karl Malone became a classic.

The two famous villains in the league were always fighting wits and courage, but never fought with each other. This was the charm of the iron-blooded NBA in that era.

At this year's NBA 75th Awards Ceremony, Rodman overcame Ben Wallace, World of Warcraft Howard and Uncle Mu, and was successfully selected into the 75th NBA Awards as a blue-collar representative.

But when it comes to the changes brought to the league by the "flower bug" in the 1990s, it is indeed well deserved.

5. The first decade of the 21st century Garnett - becoming the Celtics' "Big Three"

In 2004, Garnett won the regular season MVP and led the Timberwolves to the playoffs for the first time in his career. First round.

But from 2005 to 2007, the Timberwolves missed the playoffs for three consecutive years.

Russell's aging, Spuneville's contract extension controversy, and a series of poor operations by the management ruthlessly consumed Garnett's "golden time." Although

is the only super power forward who can tie with Duncan in terms of strength. But when it comes to performance, let alone Shifo, he can't even compare to Nowitzki.

So in the summer of 2007, Garnett finally gave up his obsession, and the Timberwolves management also hoped to "cash out cash at a high position."

The Celtics, who had been dormant for many years, used Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Leon Gomez, Ratliff, Telfair, and the 2009 first-round pick in exchange for seven In one way, they exchanged for Garnett, the 2004 regular season MVP and the Wolf King who has been stationed in Minnesota for 12 years.

We all know the subsequent story.

Garnett formed the Big Three with the Celtics, won the 2008 championship, and successively killed two legends at their peak, LeBron and Kobe.

They became Cavaliers LeBron's biggest enemy in the Eastern Conference in the first period. They killed him twice in three years and eventually forced him to go to Miami to pursue the championship in a more extreme way.

Maybe everything stems from Garnett's words:

"Don't let loyalty hurt you."

But whether it is Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Rodman and Garnett, the reason for their leaving the team is either because of The team management has deep grievances, or the team cannot afford their high salary.

And now Durant has a Nets management that is obedient to him and spends a lot of money on him. The deal was proposed on a long-term basis.

No matter whether he ends up joining the Heat, Suns , or the Warriors or the Lakers,

no matter whether he can win the championship again later,

has lost the most basic ethics and responsibility as a superstar,

will always be just a mercenary. Just thugs.
