On March 2, Beijing time, the US media Fade World listed the number of people selected for the best team (including the first, second and third teams) in the history of the league's 30 teams. The Lakers rode to the top of the list with 96 times. The Celtics finished second 81 times and the 76ers finished third 63 times. The Grizzlies have only had three times in 26 years of history, ranking at the bottom of the league.
As the oldest team in the league, the Lakers' rich historical assets have made them the team that has been selected for the best team in the league. The Lakers are only four times away from the 100 best teams, which shows how wealthy their ancestors really are.
There are five players in the team's history who have been selected to the Best Team more than 10 times, namely Kobe, Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar and Elgin Baylor. Among them, Kobe Bryant has been selected to the best team 15 times, the highest in team history. Bryant alone has been named to the Best Team more than the eight teams in the league. The Lakers have been named to the Best Team 32 times more often than the bottom Grizzlies, which is a very exaggerated number.
Together with the Lakers, the league's oldest team, the Celtics' cultural assets are also very rich. The team's history has a list of players who have been selected for the best team. Bob Cush, Havlicek, Russell and Bird bird are players who have been named to the all-team team more than 10 times. Since 2000, the team has had six players named to the All-Roms squad: Pierce, Rondo, Garnett, Thomas Jr., Irving and Tatum.
The 76ers, Warriors and Kings are followed by the oldest teams in the league. Embiid is the 76ers' most recent inductee and he has been the best player in the lineup for the past three years. Curry became the player with the most selections for the Best Team in Warriors history, surpassing Rick Barry's record in seven selections. In comparison, the Kings are slightly shabby, they have only 3 players selected for the Best Team after 2000, and the last time they need to go back 6 years, when Cousins, who was still playing for the Kings, was selected for the Best Second Team.
Compared with the above teams, the 6th-ranked Spurs is a dark horse team. The Spurs have been in the league for less than 55 years. But they have been named to the Team of the Year 43. Duncan has been named to the All-Team 15 times, and he and Bryant are the players with the most times in the same team.
In comparison, the bottom of the Grizzlies ranking is a bit embarrassing. The team, which was only formed in 1995, welcomed its first player to be named to the All-Team in 2011, when Randolph was named to the League's All-Third Team. Marc Gasol was then selected to the All-Second Team in '13 and the All-1st Team in '15. The honors carried by the history of the team are extremely limited, and even the players we know well, such as Gasol Andrea and Conley, have not left any ink in this team.
But the Grizzlies may have a shift from this season. The team's new boss, Morant, has exploded this season and managed to make it into the Ranks of All-Stars. He is expected to be named to the All-Team this season, breaking the Grizzlies' deadlock. Know that he is still under 23 years old, and I have to say to him, the future is yours.
