Iverson, is he not worthy of being selected into the NBA top 75 players in history?
I accidentally read an article about Iverson in the past two days. He believed that Iverson had a short peak period and no championship in his life, so he was not worthy of being selected into the 75th NBA. (Iverson ranks 31st among the 75 major players, behind Paul and Wade )
Before this article officially begins, we must sternly refute the above views!
Iverson worthy?
Of course, Iverson is definitely worth 75!
In this article, we focus on the No. 1 pick of the 1996 Golden Generation - Allen Iverson to see what his abilities are? We will take an objective stand, put aside personal preferences, and discuss the purest form of basketball.
1. "Ai has a low shooting percentage, so he is not a good scorer"
Twenty years ago, when hundreds of flowers were blooming and there were many strong men, he won the 4th scoring champion. Do you still have to doubt his offensive ability?
People who question Iverson will talk about the shooting percentage. "Because Iverson has a low shooting percentage, he is not a good scorer." There are many people who hold this view.
We cannot deny that Iverson's shooting percentage is not high, hovering around 40% to 42% all year round. However, we have to correct one point:
means strong scoring ability and high hitting rate, which cannot be simply equated.
Jordan's shooting percentage has remained above 65% all year round, and Gobert can even reach 70%. Could it be that Jordan, Rudy Gobert and others can be called scoring masters?
are both centers, and O'Neal and 's shooting percentage in their peak period was around 55%. Could it be that O'Neal's offensive ability is not as good as that of DeAndre Jordan and Gobert who can only eat cakes under the basket and don't even have the ability to attack independently?
has strong offensive ability. It depends not only on scoring efficiency, but also on the lethality to the enemy, the defensive pressure of attracting the opponent, and the ability to attack difficult situations.
A good scorer is one who dares to show off his sword at critical moments, who relies on his personal ability to continuously kill his opponents and forces his opponents to change their defensive strategies to double-team him, thereby creating space for his teammates.
is an excellent scorer who can constantly suppress his opponents. Not only can he continue to attack and score kills, but he can also psychologically suppress his opponents and cause panic.
What level do you think Iverson's offense is?
2. "Ai takes a lot of shots and is just a brush"
Many people think that Iverson takes a lot of shots and gets high scores and 4 scoring titles because of brushes.
Does Ai take many shots? many! And a lot! A shot count of 20+ is standard, and a shot count of 30+ is often seen.
We have a few questions:
Question 1: The head coach doesn’t understand football? Knowing that Iverson took a lot of shots, you still let him throw it?
Because this is a tactic and an arrangement by the head coach, it is to let the team's most lethal player take more shots.
Ai's 76ers, you didn't let him throw it, but you let Uncle Mu, who was wagging his finger, throw it?
The NBA is a business league. If you don’t have two brushes and want to throw it around, no one will tolerate you.
Question 2: If you take a lot of shots, is it a brush?
Jordan, Kobe and have a shot count of 25+ all year round. Are they also cheaters?
is a brusher who only cares about his own score and brushes data, regardless of his teammates or whether the team wins. Booker in the early years, Love in the Timberwolves era, Bill in the Wizards , these are typical brushes. But Iverson is definitely not!
Why?
Because of Iverson's high shots, the team often wins. And when his shots are low, the team often loses.
Because when he takes a large number of shots, he will rush forward to attack the opponent again and again, either scoring or causing damage. While scoring points, he will also bring great pressure to the opponent, and his teammates will also get good shot opportunities. The whole team will move.
An excellent scorer needs to be able to maintain good scoring efficiency and lethality when the number of shots increases.
Why did Paul shoot nearly 56% last season, but only averaged 11 shots per game? Do you think he doesn’t want to take more chances? Do you think the coach doesn’t understand the ball and has to let Booker, who shoots 45% from the field, carry the offensive banner?
The most fundamental reason is that Paul does not have the ability to kill and attack enemies continuously! And Iverson, yes! When Paul takes more shots, his efficiency will decline rapidly, but Iverson will not!
Of course, we do not deny that Iverson's style of play is "independent". Sometimes he will be personal-centered and will ignore it when he is superior. This is mainly due to his strong and unwilling character.
Who can single out "Jordan" in his rookie season?
Allen Iverson!
Who can find "Jordan" many times in the first All-Star ?
Kobe!
In essence, Iverson and Kobe are the same kind of people, but Iverson is not as self-disciplined and hardworking as Kobe. This is also the most fundamental reason why the development trajectories of the two men in the middle and later stages of their careers are very different.
That’s too far!
Iverson's high shots and high scores are absolutely different from Bill, Booker and others.
3. "Without a championship in his career, he is not worthy of being ranked 31st in history."
To evaluate a player's historical status, we should not just look at the championship, but look at it comprehensively.
1 regular season MVP,
4 scoring champion,
3 steals champion,
3 best first team,
3 best second team.
and above are already at the absolute superstar level. As far as is ranked among the top 75, these honors are enough. (Only one of the best teams, and , was able to enter the top 75!) As for whether
deserves to be ranked 31st, we dare not say anything. Just a weak question, "Does Paul, ranked 29th, deserve to be two places ahead of Iverson? And why should he be ranked ahead of Wade?"
[Final Conclusion]
Iverson, many people Maybe you have never seen him play, or when you watch him, he is already a bum in the league in his twilight years. Looking through his statistics, wow! The hit rate is so low! Looking through his honors, wow! No championship in his career, he is a loser!
Those who have some experience in life can understand him better.
If you just simply look at the technical statistics, it would be a bit superficial if you just judge based on the hit rate and the number of shots...
