Jordan needless to say, he is recognized as the first person in NBA history. His appearance saved the NBA, and the NBA has since gone to the world, and his contribution to the NBA is too great. So let's boldly assume today that if the NBA did not appear jordan, who would be the first person in history? There are 4 candidates in the editor's mind, and whoever is the first person in history outside of Jordan has no problem.
Bill Russell is the NBA's only "Lord of the Rings," who holds 11 championship rings, an unsurpassed record. Russell was the greatest star of antiquity, and his historical status is so high that even now future generations must stand up and pay tribute. The FMVP also changed his name because of him, which is enough to see his influence. In addition to the 11 crowns, he also has 5 MVPs, 4 rebounding kings, whether it is honor or influence, he is qualified to be the first man.
Abdul-Jabbar is the all-time scorer, and no one can learn 100% of his "sky hook" skills. His peak as a center is too long, and his overall strength is excellent, and his career is in a very stable state. He has won 6 titles, 6 MVP, and is also an attack and defense, and when it comes to hookers, he will think of Jabbar. He was the first center in the entire '70s, and he was a celebrity in both the Lakers and bucks, and with his seniority, the first man could too.
Magic Johnson was qualified to be the first man, and he failed to surpass Jordan, mainly because of his own lack of self-discipline. Johnson's career was short but brilliant, winning 5 titles in 13 years, 3 FMVP, 3 MVP, 4 assists, and 9 first-team. He was the first man in the entire '80s and '90s, and his playing style was gorgeous, which drove the whole league crazy. The earliest way to run and hit was led by Johnson.
The last one is James, who is the only active star, and he definitely has that qualification. Regardless of honor, influence, strength, James has this qualification, he is already recognized as the second person in history, if there is no Jordan this first, he will naturally rise. The key James is still playing, all kinds of data are still accumulating, and when he retires, he is even expected to surpass Jordan, after all, 40,000+10,000+10,000 miracles, only James is expected to achieve!
