Gold has no feet, no one is perfect. The same adage applies to the NBA stage. In an era of assertive individuality, having both ability and political integrity is not the only criterion for selecting superstars. On the stage of a hundred flowers, the stars shine, but there are always some super stars with extremely outstanding abilities and personalities, which are loved and hated, and it is difficult to choose.
Today, take stock of the six biggest stars of the season.
Sixth place: Big Mouth Chases Dream Green
Green was selected by the Warriors with the 35th pick in the second round in 2012. As a representative of the low-ranking counterattack, Green's growth experience is definitely a legendary story.
As the core player of the Warriors' 5 years and 3 crowns, Green's tactical status for the Warriors is no less than Curry, if Curry is the Engine of the Warriors, then Green is the Brain of the Warriors, playing a decisive role in both offensive and defensive ends.
In the 2018-19 season, the Warriors Finals successively damaged Durant and Clay, allowing the team to break the Oracle Arena for 3 consecutive championships, and at the end of the season, Durant went to New York, Clay opened a long truce, and the Warriors also fell off the altar and became a middle and lower team, starting a dormant journey.
And all this is inseparable from Green's big mouth, when Green said that when you come, we are the championship, which completely angered Durant, the god of death, and also laid a huge foreshadowing for Durant to eventually go to New York.
Green's big mouth also came from this, and his impulsive remarks also made the Warrior Dynasty completely sink. Recently, Green has openly satirized Gobert, believing that he is the best defensive player in the league, completely ignoring Gobert, the best defensive player of the 3 times, which once caused a commotion and heated discussion in public opinion.
However, as a superstar, Green's personal ability is extremely strong, especially at the defensive end, Green's presence has almost built a natural barrier for the Warriors' internal line, not only the personal defensive ability is extremely strong, Green can also drive the entire team, Green alone is a set of defensive system, which is also an important factor for the Warriors to return to the Western Super Team in the new season, and Green's role is indispensable.
Compared with Green's unobstructed mouth, Green's contribution on the court is also extremely prominent, and recently, the Warriors have struggled extremely on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends after the lack of Green, which shows the significance of Green to the Warriors.
As an alternative All-Star, Green's value is not reflected in the data, the Warriors in addition to Curry, in order to win the championship, Green must remain healthy, which also shows the value and significance of Green to the Warriors.
Fifth place: Locker room cancer Wood
Wood, as a failed draft, lurked in many teams in the league, and in 2020, Wood returned to Houston and played his peak state, and Wood's reverse growth once became a legendary story in the league.
In the 2020-21 season, Harden broke up with the Rockets for the championship, and even took the initiative to apply to leave the team, and the Rockets also entered the reconstruction. As a rotten team, after Wall was plagued by injuries again and abandoned himself, Wood gradually became the top scorer in the Rockets and gained a foothold in the Rockets.
Wood was once the focus of the Rockets, and as a young interior, Wood's growth surprised the Rockets, but this sentiment did not last long.
With the Constant Outbreak of Locker Room Conflicts by the Rockets, Wood became the team's number one thorn, and the Rockets even did not hesitate to ban Wood, and the two sides were once fierce, and even once put Wood on the trading shelf.
However, compared to Wood's youthful personality, Wood's talent on the offensive end is also constantly being tapped, and the lost draft constantly refreshes his talent and ability, once giving the team hope and future, and finally abandoning the trade proposal for Wood before the trade deadline.
This season, Wood averaged 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, scoring and rebounding are the top in the team, Wood has gradually conquered the team with super personal ability, and in time, Wood will become an All-Star.
Fourth place: Harden, the almighty god of war, who has collapsed
Harden was selected by the Thunder with the 3rd pick in the first round of 2009. As a superstar coming out of the bench, Harden's growth experience is legendary enough. From the best sixth man to the superstar, Harden has been full of hardships and bumps along the way.
The 32-year-old Harden's honors come together, but his desire for a championship has led him to wrestle with the Rockets, who have been there for 8 years, and take the initiative to apply for a trade, and finally go to the Nets to form a Big Three team.
Before the trade deadline, Harden once refused to play, in order to force the palace nets management, Harden almost concocted the drama in the Rockets period, and this time Harden was more hidden in order to avoid public criticism, but after Harden was traded, the inside story about Harden's forced palace management and passive slack came to the fore, so that Harden's personnel collapsed again.
After coming to the 76ers, Harden, just like the first to the Nets, went on a rampage again, successively cut the luxury two-double data and quasi-triple-double data performance, and then played 5 games, all won, once carried the entire team, let the 76ers fly forward, Harden once again showed super personal ability.
After Harden arrived at the 76ers, it also broke out again. Averaging 24.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 12.4 assists per game, Harden has made Harden the undisputed super leader of the 76ers after Embiid.
As a top superstar, Harden's ability is absolutely beyond reproach, almost a combination of Curry and Paul, Harden's talent on the offensive end is extremely high, even if Harden's personality is arrogant and paranoid, but Harden on the court is definitely the top superstar that all teams are chasing.
Third place: Jokic of four or two strokes
Jokic was selected by the Nuggets with the 41st pick in the 2014 round. As a model of low-ranking counterattack, Jokic's growth path absolutely shocked the four. After entering the league in 2014, Jokic began to counterattack.
In the 2020-21 season, Jokic won the first regular season MVP of his career with his super personal ability and team strength to beat Embiid with a full performance of 82 games, and Jokic also became the first person in history to win MVP in the second round of the show. It has made a legendary story.
In the new season, Jokic continued to show his peak form, but in the early part of the season, due to various objective factors of the team, the team's record fluctuated greatly, and once fell out of the playoffs, but with Jokic's strong personal ability, he once turned the tide.
This season, Jokic averaged 25.9 points, 13.8 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, and the all-around performance made Jokic a latecomer and once again became the most favorable competitor in the MVP list. Two consecutive years of top performances have made Jokic famous and become the most influential low-ranking legend.
However, Jokic also has an extremely grumpy temper, which was once expelled this season because of his temper, and such emotions will also bring extremely adverse negative effects to individuals or teams, which may be the biggest weakness of this low-rank legend.
But this can not erase Jokic's talent on the offensive end, as an inside lineman, Jokic's clumsy body seems to have no advantage, but under the performance of Jokic's decay into legend, his soft feel, as well as the master's passing vision, make up for his natural weaknesses, and also make Jokic, the fat man, become impeccable on the offensive end, becoming the biggest nightmare of the teams.
Grumpy temper, but still can not hide Jokic's all-round offensive ability, Jokic is definitely a legend that the league has not met in a hundred years, from an unknown small person, to a well-known MVP, Jokic's growth path is definitely a legend that can be sung and wept.
Second place: Embiid, the obedient Emperor
Embiid was selected by the 76ers with the 3rd pick in the first round of 2014. As the league's biggest wrestler, Embiid is a versatile player, and despite his huge stature, he is extremely agile and a rare inside wizard.
The combination of Embiid and Simmons also promoted the 76ers to a super team at one point, and last season, Embiid and Simmons teamed up to win the 76ers the top spot in the regular season.
But due to the playoffs, Simmons's cowardly personality, let the 76ers lose to the Hawks in the semifinals, let the 76ers with the league's first record return home, Embiid is also embarrassed and angry, crazy and angry at Simmons, the relationship between the two sides was once about to reach the freezing point.
In the new season, Simmons once refused to play for the 76ers, Embiid single-core led the team, after experiencing a dormant period, Embiid returned to peak state, and led the 76ers to gradually regain the strength of the former super team and return to the list of giants.
However, as the team's super leader, Embiid's strange personality has also been famous for a long time, from forcing Butler to shelling Simmons, Embiid has always been an extremely conceited superstar, once there is a gap, Embiid will put pressure on the team with an absolute status in the team, which also makes the other players of the 76ers dare to be angry.
This season, Embiid averaged 29.7 points, 11.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and the all-round data performance once played the strength of a superstar, which also made the team thrive and return to the list of giants.
Compared with the extreme and arrogant personality, Embiid also helps the team to remain among the top teams in the East through super personal ability.
As the game deepens, Embiid's control on the court is also more and more amazing, almost becoming the biggest killer on the court, and even to any top superstar, without falling behind, which may also be an important factor for the 76ers to be willing to listen to Embiid's opinion, after all, for the team, super ability is king.
First place: Kaleidoscope Owen
Irving was selected by the Cavaliers with the 1st pick in the first round in 2011. As the most scoringly talented young guard in the game, Irving's talent on the offensive end is amazing, and the title of offensive kaleidoscope is not a waste of time.
Irving became famous with the Cavaliers, and in the 2015-16 season, in the finals of the amazing reversal warriors, Irving threw a jaw-dropping three-pointer, which not only ended the Warriors' two-game winning streak, but also won the first championship in the Cavaliers' history.
However, in the following years, Owen's maverick personality and unwilling personality, Irving once fought with James, took the initiative to apply for a trade, so that the Cavaliers gradually lost.
Irving, who came to the Celtics, was still careless, not only failed to bring glory to the Celtics, but frequently caused locker room conflicts due to objective factors such as injuries and diseases, and finally left the Celtics again.
In 2019, Irving teamed up with Durant to travel to the Nets, and in the 2020-21 season, the Nets formed a big three team. Irving's unsociable personality broke out again, from last season's frequent leave of absence for personal matters, causing the team and management to be extremely dissatisfied, and once moved the idea of trading Owen.
In the new season, Irving played the paranoia to the extreme, refusing to change the tough attitude, once made Durant physically and mentally exhausted, and eventually caused injury trouble again, Harden was also extremely dissatisfied, and eventually led to the nets to press the whistle deal.
For Irving, the super personal ability on the court is absolutely beyond reproach, but the paranoid personality and arrogant way of doing things have made him and the team constantly intensify. Owen is also definitely a very prominent representative of character and technology.
However, for a team, especially the team that wins the championship, Irving is still an indispensable and important puzzle to win the championship, Irving can either make a quick comeback without playing for half a year, and full of firepower, or after half a month of truce, single check the Bucks Big Three, and slash 38 points, leading the team to win. Recently, facing the Hornets, Irving scored a new high of 50 points next season, leading the team to a big victory and ending the losing streak.
Irving's talent on the offensive end is definitely historical, and Irving, who has such clear advantages and disadvantages, does make the team love and hate, but for the Nets, he has to fight for the championship, and Irving is definitely the best top player in the siege, which is why the Nets still keep Irving in the crowd.
Irving's performance on the offensive end is truly stunning, and letting Irving go is definitely a huge loss for the Nets. This also shows that even if Irving is so paranoid and arrogant, the Nets still compromise the reason, and Irving on the offensive end is too explosive, memorable and tireless.
