Today is the summit – the NBA's greatest five superstars in history, the number of MVPs + FMVPs of the five superstars is at least 5, all representing the highest level of the league for a period of time, and maintaining the league's top three level for most of their careers.
5. Larry Bird
I personally prefer to put "Big Bird" before "Magician", which in my opinion is too special, whether it's the way it affects the game or the funny trash talk. Personally, I think that in terms of pure strength, "Big Bird" is slightly better than "Magician", but because of the slight inferiority of teammates, FMVP and championship are after all less than "Magician", and finally put it behind. In addition, in basketball, the more talented sport for blacks, Bird is the only white player to enter the top ten, which is remarkable!
He has won 3 championships in his career, including 2 FMVP, 3 consecutive MVP, and 4 MVP second, 9 best team first team, 1 best team second team, 3 best defensive team second team. He averaged 24.3 points, 10.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists in the regular season; he averaged 23.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists in the playoffs.
4. Earvin Johnson
"The Magician" and "Big Bird" supported the NBA's eighties and laid a solid foundation for Jordan to push the NBA into the world. Together with Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Worthy, he created the Lakers' showtime dynasty, turning the game into a visual feast. Johnson was also the first player to win multiple championships as the first person on the team to be a point guard, and the first player to turn assists into art.
He has won the championship 5 times in his career, including 3 FMVP; 3 MVP, 2 MVP votes, 1 MVP vote third, 9 best team first team, 1 best team second team. The player who averaged the most assists per game in NBA history averaged 19.5 points, 11.2 assists and 1.9 steals in the regular season; 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game in the playoffs.
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Personally, I think that the career of "Sky Hook" is not as wonderful as that of "Big Bird" and "Bird", there is neither the shock of turning out to be a masterpiece nor the masterpiece of dominating the league, and the peak of the 70s is also the era of the NBA's relative stardom. Then, relying on his long career, the accolades and data he has accumulated are of the highest level, while maintaining a high level of ability and James in Between Berger.
He has won 6 championships in his career, including 2 FMVP; 6 MVP, 1 MVP vote second, 1 MVP vote third, 10 best team first team, 5 best team second team; 5 best defensive team first team; 6 best defensive team second team. The all-time highest total, averaging 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the regular season.
2. LeBron James
I am extremely reluctant to put James in this position, as the ultimate egoist, his career is full of opportunism, it can be said that to some extent, it has damaged the atmosphere of the league - hugging, regular season strength, lack of demeanor after losing, etc., as a general superstar, as the first person in the league is really unbearable. In addition, unlike the honor votes of the younger group holders, which are easily diverted, as the initiator, James's harvest of honor is almost unaffected by the group, which also benefits from its packaging and hype ability.
However, I still decided to respect the honor of the league, and from the honor alone, James is indeed the second person in history, and he has two advantages over the main competitor, Jabbar: (1) Abdul-Jabbar is similar to James, has not played a dominant performance, and has a strong teammate blessing, James is at least the first person on the team in terms of statistics and public opinion; (2) the number of teams in the 70s is much smaller than it is now.
He has won 4 career championships and won FMVP; 4 MVP, 4 MVP votes second, 3 MVP votes third, 11 best team first team, 2 best team two teams, 2 best team three teams; 5 best defensive team one team, 1 best defensive team second team. He averaged 25.0 points, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season; he averaged 25.6 points, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the playoffs.
1. Michael Jordan
Jordan ranked first has nothing to say, I think Jordan is the existence of the only gear, the next gap is other people, in addition to the honors, Jordan really let the NBA go to the world, let basketball become a world sport. Not to mention the legendary nature of his career, the spirit of not accepting defeat where he fell and getting up from where he got up, and the professionalism of the audience will never be disappointed on the stage.
He has won three consecutive championships in his career and won all FMVP; 5 MVP, 3 MVP votes second, 2 MVP votes third, 10 best team first team, 1 best team second team; 1 best defensive player, 9 best defensive team first team. Create countless data records, 10 scoring kings, average 30.1 points per game, the first in history, the Finals data is stronger than the playoffs, the playoffs are stronger than the regular season, the real big scene superstar.
