As the times pass, the stars we once loved have moved away from the TV screen. But the wonderful moments they left on the field have always existed in the hearts of fans who love them and cannot be erased. Today we open the door of memory together and relive the players in history who have shined through the NBA.
Next, let's test you, remember the top ten stars in history?
The Smiling Assassin Isaiah Thomas was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in the 1981 Draft as the 2nd in the 1st round and played for the Detroit Pistons all his career.
Watching the Assassins' previous game videos, there is indeed an illusion of seeing Paul, short and strong, skillful ball, good passing, strong overall view, and a good shot. What Paul doesn't have on him is the feeling of the Assassins who tremble when they take the ball, shoot or pass the ball with zero hesitation, super dare to shoot, and accurate, a knife to seal the throat. Similar to Wei Shao, the kind of momentum that does not kill at any time, the famous lame finals do not mention, throw yourself out and then fight is also commonplace, in short, the spiritual attributes are explosive. Wei Shao's layup is like carrying an explosive pack, and the Assassin's layup and pass are like assassins carrying a short knife, a fatal blow.
Dominique Wilkins was drafted by the Utah Jazz in round 1 and 3rd place in the 1982 NBA Draft before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks. He was nicknamed "The Essence of Human Cinema" for his fancy dunk action.
So where did his nickname come from?
Where can the best place of a movie be?
Big scenes, sudden explosions of the plot, unexpected plot development. Coincidentally, this is Dominica. What Wilkins did on the pitch. The sudden explosion of the dunk, the unexpected action. There's power and explosion all over the pitch, and that happens to be the thing people love to see the most. After the dunk, the basket trembled there, as if it was the heartbeat of all the spectators, and as the basket was trembling, oh my God, what just happened? Looking back, it's really wonderful. It was because of this shock that Dominica. Wilkins had this nickname.
In the 1983 NBA Draft, Byron Scott was drafted by the San Diego Clippers (now the Los Angeles Clippers) in round 4 in the first round and was subsequently traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Scott, who has won three championships, also has a rich coaching career.
In the 2000–2002 season, Byron Scott made his first head coach for an NBA team, coaching the New Jersey Nets. In the 2004–2009 season, Byron Scott coached the New Orleans Hornets and from 2010 to 2013 he coached the Cleveland Cavaliers. On July 26, 2014, Byron Scott was hired as the los Angeles Lakers head coach. On April 25, 2016, Byron Scott stepped down.
Not only is Ralph Sampson tall, but he also runs, bounces, and shoots well, and he was the best player in the U.S. college every year for three years from his sophomore to his senior year. In 1983, Ralph Sampson joined the Houston Rockets as a champion and was named to the NBA All-Star Team four times in his career, and in 1985, he was named the NBA All-Star MVP and named to the NBA All-NBA Second Team.
Ralph spent three years in the League's real glory, and then he was injured and plummeted ever since. He was indeed tall and could run and jump, but unfortunately he was too thin. The third year actually played as a big forward. Good consciousness, good feel in the middle and close distance, there are also steps, but the confrontation is really average, and there are many mistakes under the bag clip and high confrontation. The goal he scored when he killed the Lakers and sent the Rockets to the Finals was actually quite typical: working lightly at high altitude was his specialty. As soon as Big Dream entered the industry, he became big Dream's second in command. If he is not injured, with his fleshless body, he will be an excellent center in the league in the future, but he will not overpower any of the four centers.
John Stockton was drafted by the Utah Jazz in round 16th in the 1984 NBA Draft, playing for the Utah Jazz all his career. From 1988 to 1996, he was awarded the NBA Assists King for nine consecutive times, and was the player with the most assists in NBA history, as well as the player with the most consecutive assists.
Stockton is the best "classical point guard" model in his personal mind - a perfect mastery of the team's offensive rhythm, a long-term super selfless and calm, and the basic skills are solid. At the same time, he also has very good shooting data and excellent outside defense ability. He knows how to use high blocks to deliver shells and connect teams; he also knows when to use his excellent long-range shooting ability to narrow the point gap and stabilize the military. Even when he is dying of old age, he can complete multiple steals and organize the whole team through his ball quotient and experience.
Kevin Willis was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 1984 NBA Draft at no. 11 in the 1st round. Kevin Willis is one of the representatives of the 84 Diamond Generation, with a total of 1424 appearances in his NBA career, and is a veritable iron man.
Willis played for the Hawks for nine seasons. While at Atalanta, Willis, along with teammates Dol Wilkins, Tudou Webb, and Doug Rivers, helped the team reach the playoffs six times. In 1992, Willis averaged a career-high season average of 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game and was named an Eastern Conference All-Star, Willis's only All-Star resume.
Uncle Dickenbe Mutombo was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the fourth place in the first round of the 1991 NBA Draft. I really miss Uncle Mu, the African mountain of that year, Yao Ming's comrade-in-arms, mentor, and love ambassador. I miss the guy who carried the rocket inside line again and again with his incredible shoulders after Yao Ming fell. I miss the African mountains that run between the courses with my old legs again and again. I miss the feeling of being over 40 years old and playing against a player the size of his child again and again. Miss the quivering that African uncle brought to you when you thought that the traditional inner line of this era was gradually withering away.
The NBA only allows the uncle to shake his finger after the cap is successful, which is his exclusive sign, others want to shake, I am sorry!
You can dunk in front of him, but be ready to be blocked at any time; you can laugh at whether he can run fast or jump high, but he will always appear in the most suitable place at the most suitable time to grab the rebounds that belong to others; his duty may not be to get the most points, but he will do his best to stop every attack and use defense to drive the attack.
That's him!
Nicknamed Madman, Nick Van Exelel was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1993 NBA Draft at no. 37th place in round 2. Fan Madman is the kind of person who is more talented than accomplished, and on achievement, he can't turn his turn in the NBA, but when it comes to singles, it is absolutely scary. All kinds of strange actions, the hit rate is guaranteed that others can not imitate. I remember that the playoffs that year should be a bull and horse war, although the Spurs won that year and were the championship of the year, but Fan Crazy gave people such a feeling, I relied on, if the coach put him up early for a while, if the game ended a minute late, the Spurs hung.
Grant Hill graduated from Duke University, a basketball school, where he studied under coach K and won two NCAA titles for his alma mater. In the 1994 NBA Draft, Grant Hill was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the third pick in the first round.
With perfect talent — thanks to a rugby-turned-father — and a clean and crisp cut-in skill, as well as Coach K's iron fist to temper a Duke-esque team spirit, Grant Hill became a guy who benefited his teammates in his rookie season. Cutting into a no-man, passing vision that Leitner relishes, and a Duke-esque noir, Hill became one of the league's few all-rounders in his rookie season. The blameless style of the ball, the perfect background and appearance, the flying figure, these are too lethal for people who have been poisoned by the Jordanian style. Unfortunately, injuries affected the upper limit of my career.
Nicknamed The Roaring Sky, Rashid Wallace was selected by the Washington Bullets (now the Washington Wizards) in the 4th place in the first round of the 1995 NBA Draft. His offense was almost flawless, playing as a small forward in his early years, covering the entire half, and throwing in 1,086 three-pointers from 33.6 percent of his career. His interior skills are equally good, with two bottom-line flip-over straight-arm jumpers being his signature move. But the all-roundness also means the lack of technical strength and explosiveness, he has only surpassed 40 points in a single game and only 7 games to exceed 35 points in seven games (6 in the Blazers), which is true to his selfless style of play, but when it comes to pure hand-to-hand combat, Rashid's disadvantage in tonnage is difficult to compensate for, and he only has 230 pounds (104kg) at 6 feet 11 (2.11m), although this does not quite match how we actually feel.
