Nowitzki: There are only four people in the NBA who have really made a difference around the world, and I'm not qualified enough

To evaluate a player's career height, personal honors are undoubtedly the primary criterion, including championships, FMVP, regular season MVP, scoring champions and other honors, followed by the accumulation of career data and the best team. Of course, influence is also a very important factor, and this can often determine a player's all-time ranking.

Recently, Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki participated in a podcast talk show, during which he talked about the four most influential players in the NBA, and in his opinion, only these four can reach the world's influence. So let's take a look at who is in the list of King Nuo.

James

As one of the greatest players of this era, James has made incomparably brilliant achievements since he entered the league in 03, just 4 crowns + 4FMVP+4MVP+ all-time scoring champion title is enough to put him on the list of the best all-time discussions, and at the same time, it is important to know that James, who is about to turn 39, is still the best player in the NBA at present, and it is still unknown what he can achieve before retiring. In the minds of many young players, James is the Jordan of this era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most influential athlete of our time.

magician

Magic debuted at the pinnacle, leading the Lakers to a championship and being crowned FMVP in his rookie season, and then led the gorgeous SHOW TIME basketball, pushing the NBA game to a new level of spectacle. To some extent, Magic is also the first NBA superstar to be known all over the world, before Russell, Chamberlain, Dr. J and other stars were only known in the United States, and Magic really made the NBA out of the United States.

Bryant

Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly one of the most influential basketball players, he has conquered fans all over the world with his chic and elegant style of play and strong strength, and his never-give-up "Mamba spirit" has inspired countless fans born in the 80s and 90s, and even Irving, George, Wei Shao, Curry and other current stars regard him as a benchmark. Needless to say, in terms of influence, at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Kobe Bryant was the only athlete to have a 10-second close-up, and his influence can be imagined.

Jordan

In his 15-year career, he led the team to win 3 consecutive championships, 6 FMVPs, 5 MVPs, 10 scoring titles, and all kinds of honors and records, which is why Jordan is called the "God of Basketball". If Jordan hadn't retired because he felt lonely, his resume would have been even more brilliant. It is no exaggeration to say that Jordan is synonymous with the sport of basketball, just as football is to Pele and boxing is to Tyson.
