Those who can play in the NBA are talented players, but those who can become superstars in their own era must be the best of the best. The NBA has produced a lot of superstars in the 75 years since its inception, and recently the American media Sports Illustrated has selected the best players of each era in the 60 years from the 60s to the 10s.
1960s: Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain
The 1960s squad consisted of Robertson and West as the backcourt, Baylor as the striker, and Russell and Chamberlain as interior. The five players on this team are the best players in all positions in the 60s, oscar and West's backcourt plus Chamberlain's interior line, which will make their attack extremely simple, plus Russell's inside gate, the super team of the 60s will have some confidence against any group.
1970s: Walter Fraser, Pete Malawich, Julius Owen, Elvin Hayes, Karim Abdul-Jabbar
In the 1970s, the backcourt was played by Fraser and Maravic as the late double gun, Dr. J and Hayes as the striker, and Jabbar town as the inside line. Fraser is a great defender, Maravic will make the game more gorgeous and exciting, Dr. J's ability in front of him will make this team more outstanding, Hayes's unpretentious players are also suitable, and finally, coupled with the NBA's historical scoring champion Abdul-Jabbar's unsolvable sky hook and defensive ability, this team will be more balanced offensively and defensively.
80s: Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Dominic Wilkins, Larry Bird, Moses Malone
The backcourt of the '80s consisted of Magicians and Thomas, with Wilkins and Bird at the front and Moses Malone in the center. As the best point guard in NBA history, Magic will undoubtedly make this team's offense more reasonable and gorgeous, Thomas's tough style of play will help the team increase confidence in key moments, Wilkins and Malone's interior attack will undoubtedly make the opponent's interior defense stretched, and finally coupled with Bird's big heart and stable shooting ability, this team is not afraid of any opponent.
1990s: John Stockton, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Carl Malone, Larkim Olajuwon
In the 90s, the backcourt was played by the NBA's all-time assist king, steal king Stockton and the NBA's all-time first man Jordan, the front line was led by Barkley and Kalmar, and the inside line was guarded by Big Dream Town. The combination is absolutely the latest in the world, the combination of Stockton and Malone has proven their ability, Jordan is not to mention the integration of attack and defense, Barkley's killing ability on the inside is absolutely historical, plus the most comprehensive center in NBA history, this team is both offensive and defensive, and the configuration is balanced.
00s: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shack O'Neill
The backcourt of the '00s was played by Wade and Kobe Bryant, with Garnett and Duncan on the front line and O'Neal on the inside. Wade and Bryant, as two of the best defenders of the 21st century, are representatives of both attack and defense; Garnett and Duncan are also historical-level big forward players, and their abilities are also obvious to all; O'Neal, as one of the most destructive centers in NBA history, his offensive ability on the inside is absolutely unstoppable, and I am afraid that only "Chopping Sharks" can limit him.
10s: Stephen Curry, James Harden, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis
The backcourt of the 10s was composed of Curry and Harden, with James and Durant pairing up front and Davis on the inside. The offense in this team's backcourt can be said to be historical, but Curry and Harden's defense is at the "colander" level; the ability of James and Durant is absolutely historical, whether it is offense or defense; the interior Davis may be good in modern times, but against those NBA-level super centers, Davis may be a little insufficient.
These six groups are the strongest player combinations of their respective eras, and they are all historical superstars in the history of the NBA, but I personally feel that this combination in the 10s may be the weakest because they have obvious flaws, the backcourt double gun is a typical representative of the attack and weakness, and the center players are easily beaten by other historical super centers. And the strongest group should be the combination of the 90s, stockton and Jordan's backcourt combination, Barkley and Malone's forward combination, Waiga Dream as a center, these five players are almost one of the best players in their respective positions, and they are all superstars who are integrated with attack and defense.
Do you think the strongest lineup of these six groups in each era is reasonable? Which of these six groups of lineups is the strongest? Which group is the weakest? Welcome to leave a message to communicate.
