On February 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, on the occasion of the arrival of All-Star Weekend, the American authoritative media The Athletic announced their selection of the 75 top stars in the history of the NBA, and made a corresponding ranking, Jordan and James are still in the top two, the following is the specific ranking:
1st-10th place: Jordan, James, Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Chamberlain, Bird bird, Shark O'Neal, Duncan and Kobe Bryant.
11th-20th place: Olajuwon, Oscar Robertson, Durant, West, Curry, Carl Malone, Garnett, Moses Malone, Dr. J, David Robinson.
20th-30th place: Nowitzki, Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Alphabet Brother, Stockton, Smile Assassin, Rick Barry, Wade, Hafricheck, Paul
30th-40th place: Bob Petit, Pippen, Harden, Leonard, George McCann, Kidd, Ewing, Nash, Cush, Iverson.
40th-50th place: Elvin Hayes, George Gervin, Drexler, Willis Reed, Walter Fraser, Westbrook, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, McHale, Pierce.
50-60th place: Dominique Wilkins, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis, Bob McAdoo, Maddie, Howard, Dave Coarnes, Earl Monroe, James Worthy, Wes Unseld.
60-75th place: Dolf Sheath, Rodman, Anthony, Bill Walton, Chris Webb, Billy Cunningham, Nate Archibald, Lillard, Mourning, Hal Greer, Alex Ingleish, Jerry Lucas, Pete Malawich, Robert Parrish, Laney Wilkens.
It is worth mentioning that 5 of the Lakers' active players in this list are selected, namely James 2nd, Westbrook at 46th, Anthony Davis at 53rd, Howard at 56th, and Anthony at 63rd. In the previous NBA official announcement of the 75 list, Howard is the biggest jewel, but also the most discussed player, after all, he has been the best defensive player in 3 times, has 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, and also helped the Lakers win the championship, which should be respected. (In addition, the ranking of thick eyebrows is still controversial, and it is generally believed that his achievements are not as high as Howard's.)
In addition, Maddy's selection in The Athletic's list is also controversial, it is undeniable that Maddy is a good player, and extremely talented, but in his career, there is really no honor except for the scoring champion, but still ranked 55th.
In the end, Durant's ranking is 2 places ahead of Curry, which is also controversial. Compared to personal ability, Durant and Curry are on par, Durant has more scoring kings, but Curry has more championships and MVP honors, and in theory, the two should be on par. (Add:Warriors Thompson once again lost the list of 75 stars))
So the question is, compared with the list of the US media The Athletic and the official list, do you think that is more reasonable, and who has become a lost pearl, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
