A few days ago, the US media The Athletic invited 118 retired NBA players to vote for ranking, and one of the questions in the questionnaire is which active player should be handed over to the "life and death ball" at the last moment? In this regard, the voting list of more than 100 former NBA players is also quite interesting, so in the eyes of these professional players who have played on the NBA stadium, who should be the most trustworthy player in the league at the key moment of the game today? Are their votes similar to the fans' hearts and minds?
Among them, the players who ranked no. 5 on the list, that is, the Nets stars Harden and Irving, and the Bucks' second-in-command star Middleton, the three of them also got 1% of the vote. As for the Lakers' leader Star James, he ranked 4th on this list, and in the end, James successfully scored 4.3% of the retired player votes. Obviously, for James's key ball ability, these NBA retired players are still quite recognized, so James also won the top five of the list.
As for the top 3 players on the list, they are Durant 1st, Curry 2nd and Lillard 3rd. Lillard, who is currently in the Blazers, received a combined 7% of the final vote in this vote, thus ranking james, Harden, Irving and other superstar players. And curry, a Warriors star who has just become the three-point king in the history of the league, has a key ball ability to get a vote rate of 33.2%, and it is not difficult to see that although curry is also at the top of the list, Curry's vote rate is far behind James, Lillard and others.
And the Nets star Durant, who occupies the top spot, has an incredible 48.9% of the vote, which means that among the 118 former NBA players who voted, nearly half of them retired players believe that Durant's key ball ability is the strongest in the league. Of course, in fact, Durant is also fully worthy of such a vote rating, after all, at this stage, Durant can be described as the strongest superstar in the league, and with his talent potential and projection ability, Durant is obviously very easy to become the best choice for key balls in the minds of the coaching staff and players!
