NBA "Four Big Boots" should be familiar with, they are Kobe , Iverson , McGrady , and Carter . They are not teammates, on the contrary, they are almost always in their opponents in their careers. They were all the core of being the only one at the top of their heads and one of the top defenders in the league. They had different styles, and the NBA was really full of topics at that time. So who was the template before these four people entered the NBA and whether they had surpassed again? We have the answer today.
Kobe template - Hill
Many people think Kobe template is Jordan , but in fact it is not the case, but his template is also at the level of a great god, he is Grant Hill. Hill is an all-star level guard at , with comprehensive skills and gorgeous play style, but unfortunately, he was ruined by injuries. Hill is a member of the Hall of Fame. But compared to him, Hill can only stand aside. Whether it is the championship or MVP, Kobe has crushed Hill in a few times. Data accumulation, peak length, dominance, Kobe is much stronger. Therefore, Kobe is definitely far ahead of template Hill.
Iverson template - Thomas
What I mean here is " Smile Assassin " Thomas, he is a famous star in the history of the Pistons. Thomas has a tough style of play, offense, defense, and organization, and is all top-level. He has been an All-Star point guard for 80 years. Iverson is close to Thomas and has a better offense. The template was Thomas, which is a recognition of the No. 1 pick. As for whether to surpass it, I will say that, except for the lack of a championship, Iverson suppressed Thomas in all respects. With the MVP and 4 scoring champions, this will stabilize Thomas. Iverson is much greater in historical influence than Thomas. Although he is at the level of a great god, Iverson is still a little stronger.
Meddy's template - Pippen
Meddy started out as a defensive player, tall enough to have a long wingspan. At that time, his playing style was very similar to Pippen. However, McGrady's offense has completely evolved in the later stage, with a scorer of 2 times and a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 seconds. Pippen has no offensive ability. But Pippen has 6 championships, which suppressed McGrady. McGrady is at most a first round game, and her team-leading ability is not at the same level. The number of defenses and defenses exceeded that of McGrady. With peak length and data accumulation, Pippen is obviously better. Don’t look at McDee’s talent, he has not surpassed his own talent template.
Carter template - without
You read that right. At that time, Carter's two draft reports did not give templates, which was still surprising. Carter has excellent athleticism and comprehensive skills, and his dunk is shocking enough. After winning the slam dunk contest, he conquered fans with various arts, and was praised by the media as Jordan's successor. It is obvious that Carter and Jordan are not on the same level. Not only does he not surpass him, Carter did not even see Jordan's taillights!
