On May 2, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs have officially entered the second round of the game, and the competition between teams and teams is becoming more and more intense, and it is getting closer and closer to the championship trophy with the highest honor. At such times, many famous players often stand up and lament how good the previous NBA league was, and it will cause many other topics to be born. Recently, NBA celebrity Pippen from the Bulls participated in a show, he not only said a lot of his own views, but also selected his own NBA history of the best five-person group, this choice is also a surprise.
Because in the show, Pippen first chose himself, then his good teammate Jordan for many years, and then chose the magician. These three players were selected by Pippen almost without much consideration, and there is no problem in choosing Jordan and Magic, the two first-time scoring guards in history and the first point guard in history, and secondly, although it is a bit narcissistic from the surface, Pippen, as the number one small forward player in history, choosing himself as the third person on this list is not too much of a problem.
Pippen then thought about it, because he believed that based on the current game environment, the position of the players had been blurred, so he would choose Barkley and O'Neal. On the one hand, because he prefers veteran players, on the other hand, because he feels that adding O'Neal and Barkley can strengthen his offensive ability. There is nothing wrong with such a choice from both offensive and defensive points of view, whether it is a defensive line or a front line, there is a comprehensive ability to attack and defend, and the individual ability of each player is very strong.
However, what is more funny is that pippen thought about it carefully and kicked Barkley out, and then chose the alphabet brother, which is also the only active player who can enter Pippen's legal eye, which also makes many fans feel very shocked. Because it is well known that James is currently the most honored person among active players, and looking at the history of the whole league, James is also the second existence in history. Why did Pippen abandon James in the best starting five in history, but instead choose the alphabet brother as a player? Many fans are also very strange about this problem.
In fact, from the perspective of Pippen's entire lineup layout, he already has a magician, a player with excellent passing ability, so James's most proud passing ability actually does not play a big role in this lineup. The second is that although James was stronger than Brother Alphabet at his peak, Brother Alphabet, as a person who has won the best defensive player, his defensive ability is definitely better than James. Whether it is a single defense or a co-defense, the alphabet brother can give this lineup better help, which is why Pippen did not choose James.
However, Pippen did not notice a problem with this lineup, that is, the lack of outside pitchers in this lineup, only Jordan can shoot three-pointers in the entire lineup, and as for The Alphabet Brother and O'Neal, they can't defend themselves against defenders. Therefore, as long as curry and Kobe Bryant are selected, plus James Duncan and Durant, perhaps the strength of the inner line will be destroyed by Pippen's lineup, but in terms of projection of the outside line, Pippen's lineup is also unable to defend the other side. And Pippen's lineup choice is mostly based on personal emotional considerations, which is not a good choice point of view.
