"One crown to become a god" is not a false proposition, because this is the case in the NBA. Nowitzki in 2011, that is, a crown of gods, without this crown, his historical status and reputation would be much worse. There are also such stars in the current service, who are strong, have many honors, and have a high historical status, but they just haven't won the championship and have been questioned. They have everything, just one crown is needed to prove themselves, and for these 4 active players, one crown is enough to be crowned a god.
Embiid is really strong on offense and is expected to win the scoring title for the third time this season. He's got a lot of attacking tools, and he's been top in the history of the center. He has a two-time scoring champion, a one-time MVP, a perennial All-Star team, and is definitely one of the best centers in the league. However, many people say that Embiid is a brush, just because his performance in the playoffs is not good enough, and the most important thing is that without a championship, he is 1 championship short, and he is firmly in the top 10 in the entire history of centers, and he is also qualified to compete with Jokic for the active No. 1 center.
Paul is really strong as a point guard, and with the team he leads, the playoffs are guaranteed. Paul is the basic guarantee and he can lead the team to win. As a traditional point guard, he is the top passer, the top defense, and the peak of offense is also 20+ level. 4 assists, 6 steals, 7 first-defense, 3 first-team, MVP future is definitely hopeless, but there is still hope for the championship. As long as Paul wins the championship, even if it is not FMVP, then he deserves the title of "God of Point Guard", and now it seems that it is indeed a bit unworthy of the name.
Harden is already the strongest two-way guard in history, can score, can play, scoring champion 3 times, assist leader 2 times, and MVP, 6 times in a while. Harden has all the honors, and the data accumulation is enough, and now he is short of a championship. Leaving the Rockets was for a championship, and it's still a possibility. Harden winning the championship is definitely the core identity, and it has greatly improved his historical status. Nothing else, as long as he wins the championship, it is not a big problem to surpass Iverson in history.
Finally, Wei Shao, the all-time triple-double king, is also the only god who averages a triple-double per game 4 times. Wei Shao's triple-double ability is unique in history, scoring champion 2 times, assist king 2 times, and MVP. Now that he is at the end of his career, he is willing to play as a substitute just to win the championship. As long as Wei Shao has the championship in hand, no matter at any time, the point guard position is firmly in the top 5, and it is indeed not enough to qualify now.
