After losing 4-0 to the Celtics, Durant was unexpectedly subjected to a "moral trial" around the world.
A year ago, he was in the Eastern Conference semifinals hard bar letters, the fifth game 49 points 17 board 5 assist "death again", and then in the Olympic Games to help the Dream Team to continue to live, as if in a lifetime.
Even at the beginning of the season, he was the biggest hit of MVP along with Curry.
When the world abandons you, it doesn't even say hello.
Among them, especially Barkley, who is now TNT's narrator and is known for his "big mouth", is the most fierce. Since doing this business, he criticized Jordan, Spray Kobe, looked down on Yao Ming, LeBron, and really played the traffic and heat clearly:
"Without Curry, you're a loser like me, and you can lead the team to a championship yourself.
All the bus passengers, it means nothing to me. If you're not a driver, don't go around saying 'you're the champion'. If you're just on the bus, I don't want to hear those words. ”
But as the "king of keyboard man", how could Adu give up and post Barkley's teammates on his social media and leave a message:
"Where would Barkley be without them?"
Of course, Adu is more chicken thief, and puts photos of Barkley's 84-85 rookie season and the end of his career in 1996-97.
On the left is the Philadelphia 76ers, and from left to right are Cheeks, Andrew Tony, Moses Malone, and the Lord's "Dr. J." Owen.
Cheeks was one of the best defensive point guards of the '80s. 4 All-Stars, 4 defensive ones.
Andrew Tony, nicknamed "Celtic Nemesis", was the key ball killer and singles king of the 76ers at the time.
And, of course, Dr. J, Jordan's idol, Bird's previous league's best small forward.
and Moses Malone, the NBA king of rebounding in the frontcourt, skyrocket. The actual first man of the league in the late 70s and early 80s, three-time MVP winners.
Barkley called him "Daddy" at the 76ers.
The second picture shows Barkley and Big Dream and Glider, who teamed up to win the 1994-95 championship, the first center and second scoring guard in the 90s, respectively.
On the experience of playing with superstar teammates, Barkley is really not inferior to Durant.
But Durant forgot to say a little,
Barkley, at his peak, really carried the Philadelphia 76ers all the way forward, and used his best season to advance the Phoenix Suns to the Finals.
At the time, no one doubted the quality of his leadership.
Also, Barkley is actually the most terrifying "misplaced killer" before Durant.
He is the shortest "rebounding king" in the NBA, ranking first in the league with an average of 14.6 rebounds per game in his third year of his career (86-87 season).
He is one of the strongest frontcourt rebounders in league history (fifth in career total 4260, averaging 4.0 per game, and the league record holder for halftime (13) and single quarter (11) frontcourt rebounds.
In '92, the strongest dream team ever, he was crowned the team's top scorer with an average of 18.0 points per game.
15th in career PER value history, only Chamberlain and O'Neal are higher than him in the interior line with more than 1,000 appearances.
In seasons where he averaged more than 23 points per game and shot more than 65 percent of his true shooting percentage, Curry had three (2014-16, 2017-18) and two (2016-17, 2020-21).
Buckley Four (1987-1991).
You know, he's only 1.98 meters (actually shorter than that), but in the 1980s and 1990s, the NBA's most brutal period,
He maintained a "20+10" for eleven seasons.
In terms of performance, Karl Malone can be compared to him.
But in the Dream Team in '92, Malone also had to make him a substitute.
84-85 rookie season, 14 points, 8.6 boards, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks,
85-86 season, 20.0 points 12.8 boards 3.9 assist 2.2 steals 1.6 blocks,
League Second Front,
In the 86-87 season, Moses Malone passed away, and he was a big player on the inside. 23.0 points, 14.8 boards, the shortest rebounding king in history, All-Star, league second team,
In the 87-88 season, Dr. J. Irving retired, and he became the absolute boss of the 76ers, with 28.3 points, 11.9 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks, and the league a team.
From then until 1992, for five years, Buckley (27-29 years old), who was at the peak, dedicated his best time to the Philadelphia 76ers.
His best players at the time were Chicks, 31, and Hesse Hawkins, a shooter who had only been an All-Star once in his career.
In those five years, Philadelphia's record was 36, 46, 53, 44, 35 wins.
Three playoffs, two to Ewing (1989–90) and one to Jordan (1991).
Ewing was a center in both years, and the one he lost to Jordan was the Bulls' first championship season.
Not to mention how unfortunate Barkley was, but it wasn't a shame to lose to these two that year.
In 1992, Barkley, who had fallen out with the 76ers, was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Here he finally had Kevin Johnson (one of the best point guards of the '90s) and "Ray" Mulry (the league's white shooter at the time second only to Chris Mullin).
He brought the good form of the Dream Team to the sun.
Averaging 25.6 points, 12.2 boards and 5.1 assists per game, he brought the Suns to the league's best 62 wins and 20 losses in the history of the team, a record that was not broken by Paul and Booker until this year.
He even overpowered Jordan and got the MVP of that year.
In his four seasons at the Suns in 1992-96, he won 62, 56, 59 and 41 in the regular season.
Lost to Jordan in the 1992 Finals,
In 1993-94, he lost seven games in the Western Conference semifinals to Olajuwon, who later won the championship.
Three consecutive years lost to the two most outstanding people of that era, although unfortunate, but you can also straighten your waist.
Of course, Buckley is indeed called the grandfather of the "hugging group". In 1996, the Suns couldn't stand his pompous style and big mouth of not opening the door, and at his strong insistence, they sent themselves to the Rockets that had defeated themselves, giving Big Dream and Drexler a "hand".
Join if you can't win, he's Durant's senior.
But at the age of 33, the 34-year-old Big Dream and the glider had already passed their peak and were eliminated by Utah for two consecutive years. In particular, being killed by a three-pointer by Stockton in 1997 was the most painful.
He is one of the most bizarre superstars in NBA history, using the height of a guard to become the shortest rebounding king and the representative of the predatory big forward.
He was once the most terrible dislocation killer, taller than him, not as fast as him, the same height as him, as strong as him, and as fast as he did not exist.
He is also one of the saddest superstars in NBA history, or even one of them, and he joined Philadelphia, which is in decline, in his rookie year, and has struggled to support him since then. It was hard to reach the sun, and then met the peak Jordan and big dream. Finally, condescending to the rocket, only to find that it has been eliminated by the times.
Even his retirement ended in injury.
So can he have a good look for these descendants who have taken shortcuts and completed their unfulfilled dreams?
