Brother Alphabet: A championship center who has played as a point guard?

Original/Oxygen is a metro

James has been limited by the Lakers' ability to match the lineup this season and has been forced to make a transition from last year's championship point guard to a starting center. Although James is the most versatile and least equipped basketball player in history, there are still huge injury risks in being active in this position for a long time, not to mention that he is over 37 years old. However, the super-huge ceiling trend that can dominate the league in the future is indeed in transition, from the need to organize to shooting three-pointers, and now gradually stabilizing in being able to play center.

Among them, James' representatives, and Durant were also arranged in this way. Nash had such a plan early last season even before Durant was sure he could position himself as the "first man in history to return from a ruptured Achilles tendon", and I also assumed: Can Durant become the league's number one center?

If anyone in the league can be closest to James in style and ceiling? Probably Antetokounmpo, who was not in the same position as him. Alphabet Brother satisfies all the public's imagination about the "first man in the league", from strength to data, from the top ten ball percentage to mental attributes, even if it seems to be the off-court influence of the weak, he also has the all-Star captain, the Eastern Conference ticket king and the "Greece First Athlete of the Year" such popular mark bonus. Alphabet Brother is also the post-James basketball-only player who is most likely to dominate the league in stages represented by consecutive championships, and he already has this background. Moreover, Alphabet Brother, like James, is an all-around mode, and he can also be a championship center who has played point guard.

Alphabet brother playing point guard is indeed incredible, but this has been a real combat case in the history of basketball, from the Kidd era. Alphabet brother was officially announced by Kidd as the Bucks starting point guard in 2014, and he also surpassed the Magician to become the highest number two in history. Kidd's transformation of the alphabet brother was not an accident, and he also found a "glove" Payton to train him in the offseason of that year. In history, the most extreme cash in playing a point guard in the position of a big forward should be Davis's show-based technology to forcibly misalign with the interior production to create space. But the alphabet brother playing point guard is really organized, and like James, he is to serve his teammates.

However, after all, the alphabet brother does not have the same organizational effect as James, and after the body is strong, it is more conducive to outputting data in the penalty area and even exceeding the dominance of the peak O'Neal, he wants to maximize the role or bias towards the attack, the position is also from small forward to big forward, and finally also began to contact the position of center. Alphabet Brother did not directly arrange to start the center like James. But in the context of the league's long-term small-ball addiction, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has the capital to play two consecutive MVPs plus full-vote FMVP matches in three years, can also play undifferentiated singles.

The 37-year-old small forward James plays center in a different way than the big forward who is still at the peak of his body, alphabet brother play center, James and alphabet brother are also two completely different styles. Alphabet Brother's projection is to expand the threat, his most dominant restricted area aggressiveness, especially relying on physical talent to exercise can play the position battle into a fast attack mode of the final means, sometimes for most of the team rotation by the five people shrink the penalty area to prevent the joint defense can do the action and then complete the round in such a murderous way as holding the ball and abusing the basket. Alphabet Brother's power confrontation can even treat defensive players as training NPCs as Zion, even more intensely.

This aggressiveness led him to be in the top two of the league for a while, and the other players who competed with him for the list at that time were point guards, such as Harden and Doncic. There was a saying that the only player in the league who could play against Antetokounmpo was Davis, but if Davis gave up the qualification, then no player or even any team in the world could defend him.

The above is the offensive end, and on the defensive end, alphabet brother has all the capital that the center does not have. The first is DPOY, which is dry goods. MVP Jokic was punished by Paul last season and even made a vicious move to be expelled on the spot, but it was also Paul who had no way to control such a famous scene in the finals against the alphabet brother, but instead provoked conspiracy theories.

After Giannis Antetokounmpo used contract extensions, swept the Heat, subverted the outside world's perception of his own free throws in the finale, and took the Bucks to win the championship as a full-vote FMVP, and refused to be the first person in the league to reflect high emotional intelligence and passers-by, he was more satisfied with the momentum that the first person in the league should have. No one will be crazy about the alphabet brother did not defend the opponent boss at a critical moment or Budenholzer limited the alphabet brother's playing time, but there is a popular saying that "the alphabet brother strategically abandoned the regular season".

Alphabet brother also has capital, that is, the Bucks system, Middleton can shoot key balls to the "league's strongest two" or even "Bucks boss" level, Holliday can shoot key balls and liberate alphabet brothers organizationally, and has the strength to lead the team to play 30 points and 9.7 assists when alphabet brother is absent, shooting an average of 56.3% per game. What's more, the Bucks have won the championship and their cohesion can still cash in on a championship.

The trend of the alphabet brother is also particularly obvious: 1 championship 1FMVP2MVP1DPOY, his historical status can be locked in the top twenty or even the top fifteen, and he can be second only to Duncan in the big forward position. Over the same period of his career, Alphabet Brother's glory surpassed the historical top two Jordan and James. If the strong teams in the regular season are in the playoff position this season, there are almost no ones who can threaten the defending champion Bucks, even the Nets. Some media invited more than 100 retired players to conduct a survey, in the "strongest player in five years" project, alphabet brother has nearly 30% of the support, the second is "do not know", the third turn of 16.4% Doncic. Durant and Zion top five. That is to say, in the eyes of these retired players, the future first-person attribute is the existence of a unique file, and this conclusion is probably also the consensus of the world basketball world.
