With the aging of James, the Bucks alphabet brother with the naked eye visible progress has become another hot star in the league today, last season the alphabet brother led the team to win the championship, in the final G6 alphabet brother is to use a 50 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks of the horror data to complete their closing battle, it can be said that the alphabet brother in the face of the young Suns interior Ayton is almost crushing existence, it is precisely because of the excellent performance of the alphabet brother that the Bucks from 0-2 behind to complete the final championship, according to statistics, Antetokounmpo averaged 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks throughout the Finals, perfectly taking over the FMVP trophy. And this season's alphabet brother is even more unstoppable, after winning the championship, the alphabet brother is more confident on the field, his arsenal is also constantly enriched, and it can even be said that the first person in the league is the alphabet brother.
However, some people are still dissatisfied with the performance of the alphabet brother, and former NBA player Charles Oakley talked about Bucks forward Giannis Adetocombo during a podcast. "He's doing well. I thought he wouldn't jump shot or take free throws, but after his performance last season, he earned my approval. But he wasn't going to do much in our day. Because the opponent will force him to jump, he can't do anything European step dunk to the basket, someone will knock his head off. I'm glad he's doing now, but if he did at the time he was sure... He may even have to play as a substitute. Oakley believes that The Alphabet Brother is in an era where there is no dominant center, he does not have much good skills, but the physical fitness is excellent to play such an excellent performance, and Oakley not only said alphabet brother, he is also bluntly saying that the current young players in his time simply can not survive.
Oakley was a famous fierce man in the NBA that year, and Yao Ming's evaluation of him was that "he fights more than he plays." "Oakley's style of play is quite strong, he absolutely does not allow opponents to easily step on his own interior, he relies on the capital is his strong physique, constant small movements and up and down iron elbows, Oakley's survival era is an era of internal muscle collision, those years have more or less unlimited scenery of the center, Oakley lived in the era of the replacement of new and old centers, his appearance allows the new era of center forwards to appreciate the style of the 90s of the last century. And Oakley is not the kind of thorn that only fights, his career is also brilliant enough, he has been the team boss in the Knicks, became Jordan's right hand man in the Bulls, and has also been selected as an All-Star and the best defensive team, his name is also on the NBA's all-time rebounding list, 18 years of career, 6 seasons of double-double-doubles, 9 seasons of double-digit points.
It can only be said that the league has long been transformed, no longer like Oakley's era, but even if there is no center like Robinson, O'Neal, Lambier, but now the team's defensive ability has become more outstanding, and the defensive ability and mobility of modern centers are not worse than before, but relatively speaking, the intensity of confrontation in the entire league is not as good as in the 90s of the last century, but there is definitely no shortage of defenders who are still very good, Leonard, Dream Green, Gobert and these players are the defensive backbone of a very good team. But the alphabet brother in the face of any team, any opponent when he can play an efficient performance, which is enough to show the strength of the alphabet brother, although the alphabet brother's technology is not outstanding now, but he is still trying to improve his own flaws, from the first day of entering the league he has not given up increasing himself, until now he can shoot three points on the court, using a turnaround jumper.
And alphabet brother also responded to Oakley's remarks, alphabet brother said: "I don't think I don't have the strength to play in his time, I am a professional basketball player, I know how to play, I also know exactly how to win, I have won the championship without a group, which shows everything, in this era, the team that won the championship has several home stars, so I have proved myself that I can rule any era, as long as I can stay healthy." Alphabet brother also does have the courage to say such a thing, the Bucks compared to other championship-winning teams Alphabet brother's two helpers are indeed not so good two-in-command, James in the Cavaliers when the championship around Irving, Lefour, these two in James when not joined the very good performance, Curry won the championship also has Thompson such a top five level of scorers in history, and Ju Holliday and Middleton do not seem to be enough compared to other players.
Even if Holliday was very good in the Pelicans period, he was only the second boss around the thick eyebrows, Middleton not to mention the second round of the show is also a step by step to fight on their own, but these two have never been included in the top 100 discussion list in history, the Bucks won the championship not only rely on the Big Three, but the entire team is very strong, other role players are not particularly outstanding, but also not particularly crotched, the team strength is very average, and they are also lucky to keep healthy, So the alphabet brother's victory is not luck, he really has some ability, there is no one in the league at present can very often confidently single-handedly defend the alphabet brother, the Greek beast has completed two consecutive MVP.
Oakley and alphabet brother such a debate is not effective, if you can exchange times, then it is better to play a real knife and gun once to know, to know that in Oakley's era there are also players who will not jump to succeed, O'Neal relies on strong physical fitness to crush the inside line, so that many teams are helpless, Howard also played a jaw-dropping dominance in the Magic Department, can only say that alphabet brother chose the wrong position, if he is a center then now he will definitely receive more praise, The position of the striker will always give people the understanding that the technology is comprehensive, the attack and defense are integrated, after all, there are too many technically outstanding forwards in history. Oakley's remarks are not directed at the alphabet brother, these old predecessors may just be sad about the current weak confrontation in the league, after all, in their hearts, the era of muscle collision is the real basketball game.
