As we all know, James is the greatest small forward in NBA history. He was the No. 1 pick in 2003 and had already attracted much attention before he entered the NBA. From the moment he was selected, James has been living in the spotlight and he keeps writing his own legend. From Cavaliers to Heat , and then to the Lakers, he has stood at the top of the NBA every time. It has set many records and surpassed many predecessors.
Old Zhan is an all-round fighter, averaging 27+7+7 in his career, and his peak period is also very long. He has been fighting for 20 seasons and is still in a first-class state. As a small forward, he surpassed Pippen , Pierce , Dr. J and Bird Bird, and counterattacked and became the strongest small forward in history. He also broke many records, but even if James plays for another 10 years, he is destined to be unable to surpass these three records.
3 three-pointers
In the era of small balls, three-pointers are very important. Now every team attaches great importance to three-pointers, and even James has developed his three-pointer ability. However, James' three-pointers only enriched his arsenal, with a career shooting percentage of only 34.6%, and he has never been an elite pitcher. But Bird is different. He has a soft shooting feel, and even in the 1980s, three-pointers were his unique skill. His career three-point shooting percentage reached 38%, and he has won the honor of the three-point champion for three consecutive years. He also left behind the sentence: "Did you think of who has won the second place?" Old Zhan is undoubtedly incomparable.
Average of 24+10
Everyone says that James is an all-around warrior, but Bird is not bad either. Bird is 2.06 meters tall, and like his James, he can play multiple positions. He averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the rookie season, and has maintained such an all-round performance since then. At his peak, he could even pass the data of averaging 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game in his career. It is worth mentioning that there are only 6 players in NBA history, and they have averaged 24+10 per game in their careers. Bird is the only outside player, and the other five are inside, while James has only averaged 8.6 rebounds per game in the season.
was elected as MVP
This is the most legendary honor of Bird's career. When he played for Celtic , he also ruled the league. In 1984, he led the team to a record of 62 wins, in 1985, and in 1986, he led the team to a record of 67 wins, which was better every year. He was finally elected as the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. No one replicated this achievement after Bird, and even Jordan and James could not do it. Not only that, during this period, the Celtics reached the finals for three consecutive years, won two championships, and Bird was also elected as FMVP twice. This dominance is too strong.
