After the retirement of former Lakers player Sun Yue, recently, another well-known player announced his farewell to the game, he is Gerald Green, who is familiar to everyone! It is reported that Green, nicknamed "Nine Finger God", has played in the NBA for 12 years, passed through 8 teams, and during this period, he has also traveled to the European arena, the CBA Foshan team and the development league, and his basketball career can be described as turbulent!
Although the NBA career averaged only 9.7 points per game, Green bounced amazingly and explosively, and he once beat Howard and Nate Robinson to win the championship in the 2007 dunk contest, which is the top "spring man"! I have to say that compared with the 37-year-old James, who is still in the limelight, It is indeed a pity that Green retired at the age of 35, but compared with the same rookie, Green should indeed retire.
Green is the No. 18 show of the 2005 class, and now, the top three picks of the same year have long been "withered", and Bogut, Marvin Williams, and Tanhua Delon have all retired, in addition, the No. 10 show Bynum, no. 17 show Granger, No. 30 show David Lee, No. 40 show Monta Ellis and others have long faded from the fans' sight.
It is reported that there are less than 10 people left in the 2005 class who are still playing professionals, and only 2 people are still fighting in the NBA! Among them, the highest pick is the No. 4 show Paul, today, the same player is no longer on the job, the 36-year-old Paul is still holding 40 million annual salary, continue to run in the league, it can be said that whether it is the number of seasons, or career achievements, Paul is the most successful in the 05 rookies.
The second on the job is Louis Williams, who plays for the Hawks! As the second round show of the 2005th edition, Lou Wei has been in the league for 16 years, and has already proved himself, with strong scoring ability, he has been awarded the "Best Sixth Man" three times, as a super substitute, he can average 22.6 points per game at the peak, which can be called a "bench bandit".
It can be seen that the most bullish 05 rookie is Paul, when the current three picks have retired, when Nate Robinson is unclaimed, when he is violently beaten in the boxing world, when the "nemesis" Delong lacks stamina and eclipses early, CP3 is still standing in the league, which is indeed a very powerful existence.
