Are there any perfect players in NBA history? In my opinion, maybe James , Kobe and Jordan are all considered. Even the top ten in history are basically perfect players. Although Bird has a big mouth, his personality is just to the outside world. He is willing to give everything to win. In addition to being able to become the top ten in history, there is no need to say more about their professional spirit, otherwise they will not get so many honors and records.
But in NBA history, some players are comparable to delicious poison. They look very good, making any team want to get him, but they will regret it after getting it. For example, Erwin Hayes , who won the scoring champion in the rookie season. His personal ability is undeniable, but this celebrity looks down on his teammates and often complains in the locker room, which has also caused dissatisfaction among his teammates. Today we will take a look at the five cancer stars in the league who are comparable to delicious poison.
Irving Still minded
Before the start of the new season, Irving posted photos of himself and his daughter in his personal media and wrote: "My princess tells me, don't do anything wrong this year, everyone is staring at you." It seems that Irving is aware of his own problems. Irving can be said to be one of the most offensive players among point guards in history. He has various tricks on the inside and has excellent touch on the outside. He can be said to be one of the best point guards in history with the best combined ball ability.
Curry was not good enough to hit the inside when he was young. The reason was because of his lack of confrontation ability. Curry is now approaching perfection. His landing and low-hand layups were very good after hitting the inside. Paul was not good enough to combine the ball when he was young. There was a pause in the outside shooting and it was easy to be targeted by the defenders. This problem was not gradually improved after joining Clippers , which means that his problem was solved after entering the peak period.
However, Irving has had a perfect skill package since he entered the league, but Irving did not work hard because of the talent given him the top talent. On the contrary, he often made all kinds of troubles. During his cooperation with James , Irving left the team because he wanted to be the boss and missed the opportunity to win more honors. He joined Celtics and firmly demanded to play superstar basketball, changing the Celtics team basketball, resulting in young players being dissatisfied. When he couldn't make it, Irving came to Nets .
has caused more trouble after joining the Nets. He did not participate in the game for no reason and refused to get vaccinated. playoffs Ramadan resulted in lack of physical fitness. His various deceptions even made the Nets want to give up on him. This season is Irving's contract year, so I guess there will be no trouble, but Irving is a little immature and is too casual in his work. His professionalism is his biggest problem. If he wins the long-term contract again this season, no one will be sure whether he will continue to make trouble.
Simmons The shortfall in the United States
"The upper limit in the future is higher than mine." This is what James said in an interview after Simmons entered the league. It can be seen how much his predecessors value him, but the wrong guidance method of the 76ers made him lose more than he has. After Simmons entered the team, the 76ers clearly showed that he had to make a record. He could not even get a chance to make a mistake because three-pointers were not good. The team also asked him to reduce three-pointers. In this way, Simmons rarely made three-pointers in the first two years of his career, and could not even take action.
plus the halo of James' successor, Simmons was also praised. He didn't want others to see his shortcomings, so he completely amplified his strengths, but his weaknesses could not be covered up. Because there were no three-pointers, he was shorted by his opponent in the playoffs and the Sixers were targeted several times. The team realized the problem and began to ask him to shoot three-pointers, but Simmons hadn't shot three-pointers for so many years. If you let him shoot, he would resist because he had no confidence.
Simmons' talent is beyond words, but without three-pointers, his upper limit is not too high. If it were in the traditional basketball era, such a problem might not be too obvious, but in the small ball era, the requirements for the outside three-pointers were very high. Because Simmons didn't have three-pointers, he was questioned by the 76ers fans, so Simmons and the team collapsed and just stopped the game. At the beginning, , Morant, , was booed by home fans, but he used his performance to dispel the doubts, but Simmons broke up with his team because of this.
left the 76ers to join the Nets. Judging from the performance in the preseason, Simmons still did not have three-pointers. Nash said that Simmons would play center, but it was not implemented. It may be that Simmons' performance during the regular season is not a problem, but he will inevitably be targeted in the playoffs. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to ensure that Nets fans will not be dissatisfied with him. If Nets fans question him again, the result may be another embarrassing situation.
Porzingis is just a testament
Porzingis is known as a unicorn. After Anthony left the team, he let Knicks see hope, and successfully scored into All-Star with a data average of 22+6 per game. However, he was directly reimbursed due to injury. After returning, he joined Mavericks . At this point, the peak was gone. Porzingis during the Knicks era had excellent movement speed. On the defensive end, he was like Antetokounmpo, who could complete excellent assisted defense and supplementary defense, and was responsible for sweeping the defense and making the offensive terrified.
However, after the serious injury, Porzingis' movement speed dropped significantly, especially his ability to move sideways. Now he has become an ATM on the opponent's offensive end. In addition, his ability to confront the opponent is not enough, so he also suffers in the inside. The previous defensive gate is now vulnerable, but with his outstanding height advantages and feel, it is difficult for the defenders to block his offense when Porzingis reaches the outside, so it is common for him to average 20+ per game.
But because of the deficit of defensive ability, he is the kind of player who looks good, but whoever wins it will regret it. If he has such offensive ability worth tens of millions, it will definitely be worth the money, but getting the maximum salary will inevitably make you feel very poor. The Mavericks are deeply hurt. During his cooperation with Doncic, the team did not break through the first round of the playoffs. As a result, as soon as he left, the team directly reached the division final.
After joining Wizards , Porzingis's performance on the offensive end is still very good. Since joining the Wizards, Porzingis can average excellent data of 22 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 blocks last season, but the Wizards did not win a few more games. After he joined, the Wizards have a total of 9 wins and 19 losses. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a data brush? In the past, Porzingis had the perfect template and talent of the small ball era, but now it is just a testament.
Westbrook was born at the wrong time
Jordan once said in an interview that Westbrook is the player he looks the most like. What he said is not the style of play but the attitude of the game. Jordan really likes Westbrook's fearless spirit on the court and working hard. Westbrook also relied on his own efforts to become an MVP-level player step by step, but now Westbrook has become the largest premium contract in the league, and 47 million is considered the most useless core of the team.
Joining Lakers last season was a wrong choice for Westbrook, because Thick-eyed and James both need space to play, and the two can still accept it, but how do you play three? The space was blocked directly, which is also the reason for the Lakers' defeat last season. We can learn from the 76ers who joined forces with Simmons, Embiid and Horford . This is the result. Horford lost his value because of sacrificing his inside space, and Westbrook was the same.
If Westbrook joins a young team, in terms of his current state, he can still score a triple-double average and lead the team to play a good record. Although Westbrook makes many mistakes, as long as the ball is in his hands, he can pose a threat to his opponent. However, because he does not have the ability to do no ball, he no longer has the ability to become a jigsaw puzzle. The teaming with Harden, Bill and James all proves this.
Westbrook is a player who was born at the wrong time. If he was born in the traditional basketball era, according to his talent, his final achievements might not be much worse than Iverson . Iverson played the same way as him back then, except that Iverson's mid-range shooting was more stable, while Westbrook's inside damage was stronger. In terms of professional qualities and competition spirit, Westbrook is a model player, but he was born at the wrong time and made this MVP a premium contract, which is a very pity.
Dream Chasing Green locker room bomb
Dream Chasing Green is a representative of inspirational players and one of the pioneers of the small ball era. A second round pick who was 1.98 meters tall to play in the inside line, and there was no stable scoring method in the traditional basketball era. It was difficult for such a player to gain a foothold in the league, but Zhui Meng did it with his tough defense. After the arrival of the small ball era, he used his own toughness to withstand the inside line of 2.05 meters, allowing the Warriors to play in the small ball, and at the same time, he could also serve as the organizer on the offensive end.
Dream Chasing Green's role in the Warriors is similar to Rodman. He won the best defensive player in 2017. The Warriors in 2017 are also one of the strongest lineups in the entire NBA history, but the contradiction between Dream Chasing and Durant finally broke down. Zhu Meng and Durant were facing contract renewal at the same time, but Zhu Meng Zhu Meng said, "We are the champion before you don't come." As a result, this sentence completely drew a clear line between Durant and the Warriors, and Zhu Meng Zhu also successfully obtained a contract renewal during the offseason. The story of
seems to be continuing. Poole made a fortune last season, but in the offseason, both Poole and Zhu Meng were facing the problem of renewal. As a result, the two fought in the training match. Although the outside world said that the two had a quarrel, they caused Pu Liu to beat Pu Liu, but if it weren't for the long-term planning, how could this happen? You should know that I admire Poole very much in the past. He has praised Poole in front of the media more than once.
After this conflict occurred, it depends on the Warriors' operations. If you give up chasing dreams, it is equivalent to the Warriors giving up the present. Although the dreams are not good at attacking, he is indispensable to the team's defensive end. However, if you leave chasing dreams, then Poole will inevitably leave and the team will lose its future. It is difficult for the Warriors to make a decision, but it is probably difficult for the two to repair their relationship. After all, everyone is for a big contract and no one is willing to sacrifice.
