As the 2021-22 season draws to a close, this season can be said to be a year of change, last year's championship alphabet brother officially ranked among the supergiants, Durant is still the strongest player in the league, and Although James is now ranked first in the scoring list, his ability to lead the team has not been as good as before, while Westbrook, Lowry's aging and edwards, Morant and other back waves of the rise has become the main theme of the season.
Now the top stars in the league have also changed slightly compared to before, and now Harden is not in the top ten level of the league, whether it is sacrificing data or not, the mentality is not right, and today's article, we will talk about the top stars in the active duty, who do you know their template? Today, have these players surpassed the template of the same period? Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.
James
James entered the league period there are two templates, one is Carl Malone, the other is a magician, specifically James is a combination of the two, he has Malone's strength and healthy body, but also has the vision of a magician, but compared to the two people, James's ability to hold the ball and kill and athletic ability is more outstanding, old Zhan can be said to be the head of a hundred families, historical level talent, both templates are the existence of the top twenty in history, James to achieve the current achievements is also deserved,
For now, James surpassed his templates, the magician may have a higher historical status if he remained healthy, but he was destroyed by AIDS, he could have become the first person in history before Jordan, James is now recognized as the top three in history, ranking higher than magicians and Malone, and a few days ago James also surpassed Carl Malone in the total scoring list to the second place in the overall scoring list in history, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the total scorer in history in the future.
Durant
Durant also had two templates that year, one was Maddy, the other was Nowitzki, and Durant also combined the advantages of the two well, with Maddy's talent of even if he was tall, but his athletic ability was excellent, and he also had nowitzki's incredible feel, a player over 2.10 meters was better than most pitchers, which also created Durant's insoluble problem on the offensive end.
For now, Durant is beyond Maddy, after all, Maddy has not even won the regular season MVP, and Nowitzki although there is only one championship, but he is a single-core championship, Durant's two have been recognized by many old fans, but durant is beyond Nowitzki in terms of historical status, Durant has a historical level of scoring talent, he plays everyone misaligned, taller than him, faster than him and can not limit his shooting, freak!
Alphabet brother
Alphabet brother into the league period to be honest too young, plus the basic skills are not good, in addition to excellent athleticism, although the hands and thighs are long but too thin, so it is not optimistic to be selected in the 15th pick, when the letter brother's draft template is Batum, to be honest, this template is also very far-fetched, Batum was young when the technology is comprehensive, the letter brother draft is not as good as Batum looked, the letter brother is more like no template.
For now, the alphabet brother is completely beyond his template, compared to the same period of Duncan, Karl Malone and Nowitzki these No. 4 players, the alphabet brother is not to mention the life is just a good blue-collar player Batum, the future alphabet brother has the ability to chase history, only 26 years old is the championship + FMVP + MVP, his honor is better than Jordan and James in the same period.
Jokic
Jokic's draft template of that year was honestly good, that is, Vucevic, how to say that he is also an all-star, but Jokic's biggest problem in the draft is that he is too fat and even by many scouts think that he may not have a complete career and was abandoned by the league in the middle, but in the end Jokic proved himself, in order to ensure better physical condition and health during the park game, he completed weight loss.
Jokic is also beyond the template of the same period, compared to Vucevic, Jokic's better place lies in his ball quotient, many times the brain is better than the athletic ability to make people more successful, Jokic's pace is slow, but he can prejudge the position in advance which also ensures his defense, and his passing vision and judgment of the defensive situation are not worse than super passers such as Paul and James.
Curry
Curry did not have a template back then, because no point guard in history is his way of playing, a point guard is inferior in height, but he can hold the ball and shoot three points, and in the traditional basketball era, although the point guard has three points ability, but the strong shot is so terrible that there is really no, so Curry also created an era, in the history of the NBA players who do not have a template are very perverted, like O'Neal, Barkley.
Embiid
Embiid's draft template that year was Olajuwon, in fact, throughout the NBA career, he and the journey of the big dream is also very similar, Embiid is also very late in contact with basketball, but only played basketball for a few years to show a very high basketball talent, low-level offensive skills are excellent, projection distance can reach the three-point line, while defense and ball quotient is also very high, compared to Olajuwon, I think the biggest difference between Embiid is that his mouth is too big, love to spray garbage.
This season, the 28-year-old Embiid averaged 30 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks, 49.4% shooting and 36% three-point shooting, has been selected to the Best Team and the Best Defensive Team many times, Olajuwon averaged 21.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 4.3 blocks per game at the age of 28, shooting 50%, and Olajuwon did not win the championship before the age of 28. His big honor was also received after the age of 28, and Embiid is expected to surpass the big dream in the future.
