As we all know, in the 75 years from the establishment of the NBA to the present, no matter how the draft is graded, 1984, 1996 and 2003 are undoubtedly the strongest. Because these three drafts are really too good, the future generations will also call 84 the diamond generation, 96 called the golden generation, 03 called the platinum generation, from the name given by the fans is not difficult to see, in most people's minds 84 is stronger than 03, 03 stronger than 96, then, if these three drafts each elect 5 people, which team is stronger?
84 Diamond Generation
Stockton, Jordan, Perkins, Barkley, Olajuwon
If you want to choose the 5 representative players of the 84 Diamond Generation, then it is undoubtedly the above 5, and coincidentally, their lineup is also the most perfect. Stockton, as the first in the NBA's all-time assists list and steal list, can be described as a good offensive and defensive; Jordan has no doubt that as the first person in NBA history, his appearance has instantly raised the offensive and defensive aspects of this lineup by two notches.
In the forward position, Perkins can average 16.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game at his peak, can act as a perfect blue-collar front, attacking and defending; Barkley in the big forward position is also the leader of the 90s, averaging 29.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals at the peak of the game.
96 Golden Generation
Nash, Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Anton Wan Walker
Compared with the perfect lineup of the 84 generation, the lineup of the 96 generation is more in line with the small ball era. As a two-time MVP winner, Nash's ability to organize tandem attacks can be described as extremely strong; in the position of the quarterback, Iverson's scoring ability is beyond doubt, and the 4-time scoring champion is the best proof.
And Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen had to be on the front line, of which Kobe Bryant's offensive ability is extremely strong, he is also the second pointback recognized after Jordan, the big forward position has to let Ray Allen go to the top, he can play the role of a high turret in this lineup, and the space of this lineup is excellent. Finally, the center position is Anton Wan Walker, and the fat head Towock at his peak can also average 23.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. The offensive ability of this lineup is excellent, but the defensive ability and rebounding ability are very worrying.
03 Platinum Generation
Wade, James, Anthony, Bosh, David West
The 03 Platinum generation has also given birth to many superstars of the 21st century, and their lineup is also very powerful, unlike the small lineup of the 96 Golden Generation, the 03 Platinum Generation can be described as a larger than a large piece. Point guard position is either James or Wade, the destructive power of these two people may not need to be said, the two have won the championship twice, and are both Finals MVP winners.
In the forward position, small forward Anthony is known as the offensive kaleidoscope, Bosh in the big forward position is also a hero who followed Jianway to win the championship, and David West in the center position, the strength is also very strong, as a blue-collar center can do his job, this lineup can be described as completely without losing the 96 golden generation.
Therefore, the author believes that if the three drafts are selected by 5 people, the strongest lineup is still the 84 Diamond generation, after all, their lineup is too perfect, each position can perform their duties; followed by the 03 Platinum generation, this lineup is good offensive and defensive; and finally the 96 golden generation, although their personal strength is very strong, and the offensive ability is good, but the helpless figure is too short. （ikuet）
