In last weekend's three-point game at Cleveland All-Star Weekend, Carl Anthony Downs from the Timberwolves was successfully elected to the three-point contest, becoming the second big player to win a three-point contest after Love 10 years ago. Earlier this day, the Timberwolves official media also specifically tweeted that Towns is the strongest big pitcher in history, which was refuted by NBA celebrity McMahon, who forwarded the Timberwolves state media on Twitter, with the caption: "Nowitzki not only has a three-point championship, but also a regular season MVP, a Finals MVP and other personal glory." ”
It is true that Towns has a high degree of achievement in outside projection since entering the league (career three-point shooting rate is as high as 39.6%, and in the 17-18 season, he shot a career-best 42.1%), but there is still a big gap from the NBA legend Nuotianwang. As the league's most representative high pitcher in the past 20 years, 2 meters 14 Notianwang, although he only shot the worst 20.6% three-point shooting rate of his career in the rookie season, he has since begun to fully cash in on his super high shooting talent on the outside line, and at the peak (09-10 season), Norteng also shot 42.1% of the three-point shooting rate, even higher than the outside accuracy of most guards.
In his 21-year career, Notianwang's three-point shooting rate is as high as 38%, a total of 1982 three-pointers have been hit, ranking 13th in the history of the league, and among the active players, only Lillard, James, Curry, Harden are higher than him, and as McMahon said, Nord king has not only won the three-point contest (06 All-Star), In the 06-07 season, with 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists, he won the first and only regular season MVP award of his career, and in the 10-11 season, Nuo Tianwang single-core led the team to fight the Miami Big Three, successfully helping the Lone Ranger win the first championship in team history, and also won the FMVP award.
In this legendary 21 years, Nuo Tianwang has been selected for the best first team 4 times, the best second team 5 times, the best third team three times, the 14 All-Star honors, plus the gold-laden championship, FMVP and regular season MVP, which can definitely be said to be the most successful big player in the history of the NBA, and the Timberwolves official media began to tout him as the strongest big pitcher in the history of the NBA when Downs only won a three-point contest championship, which is really to some extent really blackmailing Downs.
Admittedly, Towns' 7-year NBA career, Averaging 23.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, the all-around stats, but whether it is the NBA resume or personal honor, it is absolutely destroyed by the King of Noh, throughout his years into the Timberwolves, he has only entered the playoffs once, and still holds Jimmy Butler's thigh, the best personal honor is only the 17-18 season selected for the league's best three-team, this time can force many guards to become the new three-point king, it is indeed gratifying, but if you just call Towns the most powerful pitcher in the history of the league, there are really some "Playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong" felt that he was not measuring his strength.
Downs, who is only 26 years old and has a long NBA career, also hopes that this three-point championship can motivate him to continue to move forward, regard Nuo Tianwang as his driving force to move forward, and go step by step, and the Timberwolves official media should also have less of this "brainless praise".
