In the NBA, not every player can become a superstar, stars like Jordan and James are a once-in-a-century, and most players are small roles, and they play an important auxiliary role in the team as a substitute. Of course, they are also indispensable puzzles to win the championship. A successful team must not only have a good core, but also excellent role players, such as the Lakers dynasty built by O'Neal and Kobe, in addition to them, there are Fisher and so on. Role players also play an extremely important role in the league and do not lose sight of ambitious goals because of positioning. In the NBA's more than 70 years of history, there have been many good substitute players. For example, Crawford, Horry, Ginobili, Kukoc and Iguodala, among others. So what are some of the best role players among the active players?
Lou Wei is one of them, as a veteran, he has been selected for the league's best sixth man candidate list many times, and also won the league's best sixth man for 3 times, whether it is in the 76ers, or the Clippers, and now the Eagles, Lou Wei is a qualified substitute. He averaged 14 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in his career, shooting 42 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range. Although his stats have dropped significantly this season due to playing time constraints, averaging only 6.7 points and 2 assists per game, this has not stopped him from making history. According to statistics, Lou Wei made 985 career appearances as a substitute, surpassing Dale Curry to become the first in history. In addition, Duncan Robinson's performance is also good, he is an important rotation player on the Heat bench, according to statistics, he hit 700 three-pointers in only 216 games, becoming the fastest player in NBA history, even the "three-point king" Curry did not achieve such an achievement. As a fixed-point shooter on the outside, Duncan Robinson accomplished his task efficiently.
Although they have not won a championship, history will always remember their names. As we all know, the most numerous championships as a player is the "7 champions" Horry, who has helped three teams win championships in succession, and can be said to be the best role player in history. Danny Green, who plays for the 76ers, wants to be a player like him, although not the core main force, but can still be the backbone of the team. It is worth mentioning that Danny Green has won the championship with the Spurs, Raptors and Lakers, and is also a veritable treble, if he helps the 76ers win the championship, then he will become the first player in the active duty to win the championship on 4 teams. The goal always has to be there, and if it is achieved, the resilience of the 76ers has been greatly improved this season, and the probability has increased a lot after Simmons and Harden swap owners.
