If James doesn't have a championship after that, what can he do to overtake Jordan?
As we all know, the NBA officially selected the best lineup for the 75th anniversary this year, and finally selected 76 people. Although the NBA did not give an official ranking when it officially gave this list, many authoritative media in the United States gave their own rankings. After looking at the major lists, they found that they ranked the top two in the same way, they all put LeBron James in second place and Michael Jordan in first.
Many people subconsciously feel that if James can't win the championship, he can't surpass Jordan. So for everyone's view, although everyone has a certain degree of rationality in saying this, everyone's ranking logic is actually very different from the ranking logic of the American media. Although the American media also value how many championships you have won when they go to the rankings, they value the data far more than ours. To give two examples, the American media attaches particular importance to the accumulation of data.
One example is Anthony. If you think about Anthony, this player is not a superstar. A lot of people think he doesn't count, because Anthony didn't have a championship two times without mvp, and three came without a burst. Then you say that a player like this three-no-no can be selected for the best team in the NBA's 75th anniversary. Why did he get selected? In fact, the biggest reason is that Anthony's data accumulation is good enough. If you only look at honor, Anthony is not as good as Lillard. But many people are questioning Lillard and no one is questioning Anthony, because Anthony's data accumulation is so good that the American media regards Anthony as a 75 star.
That's just the first example to illustrate the importance of data accumulation, and the second example is Stockton. Stockton this player he has a lot of honors? Not much really. Stockton has no championships and no MVP, and has only had two bouts. So if you compare Stockton with Nash, Nash is really a complete stockton on the level of honor. Nash not only has MVPs but also two. Under such circumstances, many American media still rank Stockton as similar to Nash when going to the ranking, and many media believe that Stockton is slightly stronger than Nash. The biggest reason is also that Stockton's accumulation of data is good enough.
Stockton's career total assists and career total steals are firmly at the top of NBA history and are off-band, and the second place is many, many. Through these two examples, it shows that the US media really values data much more than we do. Then LeBron James' biggest advantage over Mike Jordan is the accumulation of data. James first entered the NBA much earlier than Jordan. Secondly, James did not say that he went to play baseball in the middle of his entire career, and the length of his entire career was longer.
Therefore, when James retires, he is very likely to accumulate data at a particularly high level. Although Michael Jordan's data accumulation is good enough, the gap is definitely getting wider and wider compared to James. James's current total score is already surpassing Jordan, and when he retires, James is not only likely to break through the total score to the 38387 that surpassed Abdul-Jabbar, the first in history, but he is also very likely to break the total score to 40,000 points. If James can break the total score to the first in history to 40,000 points after he arrives, he will be the first person in history in the hearts of many American media.
If James can come to the first place in the total score in the future, then the first person in history will be him. That through the current situation of many celebrities and American media rankings, we know that our rankings with Americans are generally similar in logic, but the importance of data is completely different. Therefore, even if James will never win the championship again, as long as he can accumulate data to the height of the first in history and far exceed Jordan, then he really has the possibility of becoming the first person in history in the future list of American authorities.
