On October 21, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the second batch of 75 stars for the 75th anniversary. The event is divided into three days, with 25 stars announced every day. In the second batch of 25-man rosters, only Paul was selected for active duty. Similar to a day ago, the official was also divided into five groups to reveal, but this time the number of people in each group is different.
In the first group, the four selected stars were officially announced, and the common point is that they all played for the Lakers. They are "Magic" Johnson, James Worthy, Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West.
Johnson is a 12-time All-Star, 10-time All-Team, 5-time Championship, 3 regular-season MVP and 3-time Finals MVP, and he also won two steals and four assists. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, he is the best point guard in history.
Worthy is also one of the key stars of the Lakers dynasty, seven All-Star selections, three championships, and he was also the 1987-88 Finals MVP. Worthy has now switched to ball reviews, often commenting on Lakers games.
Chamberlain played for 3 teams in his career: warriors, 76ers and Lakers. He once scored 100 points in a single game and averaged 50.4 points per game in a single season, which is a record that is difficult to break in the league's history. He was named an All-Star 13 times, the Best Team 10 times, the regular season MVP four times, and the Finals MVP once. There is no doubt that Zhang Dashuai is a legend.
West is called the Logo Man, and the NBA logo is said to have been designed with West as a template. West was named an All-Star 14 times, a 12-time All-Team, and won the 1972 NBA Championship.
In the second group, the seven selected stars were officially announced, namely Bird, Jordan, Pippen, Thomas, Drexler, Carl Malone and Ewing.
Bird, who won the regular season MVP for three consecutive years, was the best small forward before LeBron James. He has been named an All-Star 12 times, the All-Team 10 times, the Championship three times, and the MVP of the Finals twice. After retiring from the army, Bird has also achieved success in both head coaching and general manager positions.
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, Jordan is synonymous with the "god of basketball", reaching the finals 6 times and winning the championship 6 times. 14-time All-Star, 11-time All-Team, Jordan also has 6 Finals MVPs, 5 regular season MVPs, 10 scoring champions, and won the Best Defensive Player Award.
Pippen is Jordan's old partner and an important partner in winning the championship. He is the representative of the all-round forward, making seven All-Star selections, seven all-team selections, and six NBA championships. He was very good defensively, having been named to the All-Defensive Team 10 times.
As the number one star in Pistons history, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas has been named an All-Star 12 times, a five-time All-Team, and he has won the championship twice. There are not many opponents who can be called Jordan's sworn enemies, and Thomas is one of them, who is the representative of Detroit's "Bad Boy Army".
Drexler is known as the "glider", and his flowing style of the ball is impressive. 10 All-Star and five all-team, Drexler helped the Rockets win the championship in 1995.
Karl Malone is one of the strongest forwards of all time, making 14 all-Team, 14 All-Star and 2 regular-season MVP. The biggest regret is not being able to get a championship ring, but that is also the regret shared by most stars of the same era as Jordan.
Ewing is the number one star in Knicks history. Like Malone, he didn't win the title. He was named to the All-Star 11 times, the All-Team team seven times, and the Defensive Team all-time all-defense team three times.
In the third group, the four selected stars were officially announced, namely Paul, Iverson, Duncan and Garnett, all of whom are also very familiar faces for fans.
Paul is a prominent representative of the active point guard, 11-time All-Star, 10-time all-team, 9-time defensive team, 6 steal kings, and 4 assists kings. For Paul, the biggest regret is that he has not won the championship so far in his career. In the 2021 Finals, he was very close to that honor.
Iverson, who is only 1.83 meters tall, has played a world in the NBA. 11 All-Star selections, 7 all-team selections, 3 steal kings, 4 scoring kings, and 1 regular season MVP. He is one of the representatives of the 96 Golden Generation.
Who is the best big forward ever? Duncan's name is often mentioned. 15 All-Star, 15 all-team, 15 defensive, 5 championship, 3 Finals MVP, 2 regular season MVP. The low-key Duncan has enviable achievements.
Garnett is also an all-around forward, making 15 All-Stars, nine all-team, 12 all-defensive, regular-season MVP and defensive player of the year. Known as the "Wolf King", he plays very passionately.
In the fourth group, six more stars were officially announced, the first five of whom played for the Celtics. They are Parrish, Hafricheck, Sam Jones, Bill Wharton, Bill Charman and Walter Fraser.
Nicknamed "Chief," Parrish played 21 seasons in the NBA and is a true basketball evergreen. 9 All-Star, 2 all-team and 4 all-team.
Hafricheck was known as the "Thief" and was another Green Army celebrity. He has been named an All-Star 13 times, the All-Team 11 times, the Defensive Team eight times, the championship eight times, and the MVP of the Finals once.
Sam Jones' personal data is less eye-catching, he was named to the All-Star five times and the All-Team team three times, but he has 10 championship rings, second only to Russell among players.
Had it not been for injuries, Bill Wharton would have been given a higher historical status. Although he has only played in the NBA for 10 years, he still has very comprehensive achievements: 2 All-Stars, 2 Best Team, 1 Rebounding King, 1 Block King, 1 Regular Season MVP, 1 Finals MVP, 1 Best Sixth Man, 2 Championships.
Shaman was a star in the 1950s and fans may feel relatively unfamiliar. He has been named an All-Star eight times, a Team All-N. 7 time, and a championship four times. He is a master of free throws, shooting 88.3% of his career free throws and leading the league in 7 seasons.
Fraser was one of the Knicks' representatives. He has been named to the All-Star seven times, the All-Team six times, the Defensive Team seven times, and has won two championships.
In the fifth group, four stars were officially announced, namely Paul Argin, Rick Barry, Nate Thurmond and Wes Unseld.
Alikin was a star in the 1950s, who was named an All-Star 10 times, a Four-time All-Team, a championship and a twice-scoring champion.
Rick Barry's most impressive is his "pee bowl" free throw posture, he has been selected as an All-Star 12 times, selected to the All-Team team six times, won a championship once, a Finals MVP, and his three sons have also played in the NBA.
Thurmond has been named to the All-Star seven times and the Defensive Team five times, and his rebounding ability is outstanding, averaging 15 points and 15 rebounds per game in his career. Thurmond also played the first four-double in history in the game: 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocks.
Unseld was named an All-Star five times in his career, winning the 1978 championship. Unseld was an impressive winner of both Best Rookie and regular season MVP in the 1968–69 season.
