Recently, the US media Hoophype conducted a survey of 52 former/current NBA players and selected the "most influential players ever". Each voter has 5 choices, with the first choice scoring 5 points, the second choice scoring 4 points, and so on.
Soon, the vote rate was revealed. The top ten players are Jordan 73.85%, James 37.69%, Iverson 33.08%, Kobe Bryant 32.69%, Magician 28.46%, Curry 27.31%, O'Neal 12.31%, Bird 7.69%, Bill Russell 6.54%, Abdul Abd 6.54%.
The 11-27 players include Nowitzki (5%), Earl Lloyd (4.23%), Chamberlain (3.85%), Julius Owen (3.46%), Oscar Robertson (2.69%), Nash (2.69%), Garnett (1.92%), Spencer Haywood (1.92%), Petrovich (1.54%), Moses Malone (1.54%), Ginobyly (1.54%), Yao Ming (1.15%), Jeremy Lin (0.77%), Lillard (0.38%), Jerry West (0.38%), Maddy (0.38%), Eddie Jones (0.38%).
The top ten stars on this list have all started their own eras, Jordan has created the Bull Dynasty, James is still writing an ageless legend, Kobe Bryant's Mamba spirit has a profound impact, Magician's show time moment, Curry leads the trend of small balls, O'Neal's three-game winning feat, Bird Bird and lakers compete, Bill Russell's 11 crown glory, and the unstoppable Sky Hook Jabbar.
In the later ranking, the names of Yao Ming and Maddy are still very surprising. Although the Yao Mai combination is very short, it still brings extraordinary significance. In addition, Jeremy Lin also used crazy performances to make people still remember it vividly.
