Each team will have its own home star, but just rely on a superstar, it is difficult to win the championship in the NBA, just the so-called three gangs of a good man, no matter how strong the player wants to win the championship, he naturally needs to have a hard-working second boss, he can supplement the shortcomings of the home star, and can also take on the heavy responsibility of the team's attack and defense at both ends of the big boss's rest. Here to explain, some stars may have been the second boss for a period of time in their careers, such as Kobe Bryant in the OK period and Wei Shao in the second young period, but they also became big bosses later, so they are not counted as big bosses, and then, let's give the two bosses in the NBA a grade!
A Grade: Irving
Although Owen was the boss of the early Cavaliers and the Green Shirts for a period of time, his most famous and well-known period was as the second boss around James and Durant, respectively. Maybe Irving is not a good team boss, but he is the top two in NBA history. His indiscriminate singles allowed him to score in any situation, and at the side of Zhan Huang, Irving's status as the best assassin helped the Cavaliers win the first championship in team history, and durant's best helper during the Nets era.
S-class: Gasol Drexler
And the most famous second boss in the NBA is undoubtedly The Great Gasol. In the 09 and 10 seasons, Gasol as Kobe's best helper, helped the Lakers win two consecutive championships, Gasol is not in contention, and can be stable output characteristics, so that Kobe Bryant praised him as "the best teammate in his career". Therefore, compared to leading the team alone, the strongest auxiliary is the best positioning of Gasol.
Regarding Drexler's listing, I am afraid that it will make fans a little controversial, after all, he has been the boss of the Blazers for a long time, and even led the team to the Finals. However, during the Blazers, the glider did not win a championship, and after moving to the Rockets in 1995, he became the most reliable helper around Big Dream, just like the two of them did in college. Big Dream and Drexler are undoubtedly also examples of the inner core meeting the top outside bosses.
SS Class: Thompson Stockton
Thompson is undoubtedly the top two bosses in the NBA, not eating the ball, excellent defense, the offensive end can open up space, there are vacant three-point goals, singles ability is also first-class, occasionally open a "big move" and even directly end the game, such a player, can be said to be any team wants to get. So that's why his backcourt combination with Curry is so chilling, because he's really too much of a jack-of-all-trades.
When it comes to the second boss, everyone must not forget that the person is Stockton, and even his second boss is too strong, so that many people are regarded as the star of the house. However, the undisputed core of the Jazz at that time was Carl Malone, and his combination with Stockton was also a big killer in the 90s.
SSS Class: Pippen
Of course, if the strongest second boss in the history of the NBA is who is, then there is no doubt that it is the strongest auxiliary of the basketball god - Pippen. Pippen's status as a top helper helped Jordan win six career championship trophies, and before Pippen entered the Bulls, Jordan did not win a championship. Pippen can organize, score, and be good at defending, which Bulls are more offensive and defensive, Pippen, as the core of the triangle offense, can also perfectly perform the tactics of Zen master, and even in the two years of Jordan's retirement, Pippen can be the bull's home star and lead the team into the playoffs. Such a two-headed, you say who would not love?
