Every team in the NBA pays tribute to the most important superstars in the history of the team in the form of a statue, and now the 76ers have unveiled a statue of the team's famous Iverson. During the unveiling of the statue, Iverson himself was present.
So what other superstars in active service deserve such high-profile honors as standing sculptures?
After my careful evaluation, there are 7 superstars in the current service who are worthy of standing sculptures, and 3 of them can still have more than one team to erect sculptures for them.
1. Brother Alphabet
Bucks
That's right, don't look at Brother Alphabet's showdown with the boss of the Bucks team several times, asking the boss to strengthen and win the championship, otherwise he will leave the team, but Brother Alphabet really led the team to win the championship, and he also won all aspects of honor, what do you want. I think the Bucks will erect a sculpture of him as soon as he retires.
2. Jokic
Nuggets
Don't look at Jokic doesn't like to do things, he is very low-key, but he is a very headache for opponents in the game. The first person in the history of the Nuggets seems to be Jokic, who not only led the team to win the championship, but also had so many MVPs. I think even if Jokic doesn't have any more accolades from now on, the Nuggets will still have a sculpture of him.
3. Owen
Cavaliers
Don't look at Irving's negative record in many aspects, but Irving has a unique place in the history of the Cavaliers, especially his performance in that Finals, even Cavaliers fans who hate Irving have to miss him. Some people even say that it was Irving who took James to win the first championship in the history of the Cavaliers, and on this basis, it is time to erect a sculpture.
4. Lillard
Trail Blazers
Although Lillard did not win any hard honors during his time with the Trail Blazers, nor did he lead the team to any awards, plus Lillard has always played the loyalty card with the Trail Blazers, he still automatically applied to leave the team, even if it is so unbearable, the Trail Blazers will still erect a sculpture for Lillard. If nothing else, just because Lillard is one of the 76 superstars in NBA history, the Trail Blazers need Lillard's sculpture.
5. Harden
Rockets
Maybe Harden has now successfully transformed, so that you can no longer see the offensive style of the beard, but everything Harden has done with the Rockets has deeply conquered the fans. The Rockets will definitely put a sculpture on Harden because the Rockets need to be closely tied to Harden, the fourth quarterback in NBA history, again.
6. Westbrook
Thunder
NBA history triple-double king, what a resounding name, most of the triple-doubles were obtained in the Thunder, which is a good memory shared by the Thunder and Wei Shao, so much so that Wei Shao returned to Oklahoma City many times to do charity after leaving the Thunder. For the Thunder, who don't have many big names in the team's history, they will be very eager for Westbrook's sculpture to be erected.
7. Leonard
Spurs, Raptors, Clippers
No kidding, don't look at Leonard's achievements in the regular season, but the robot who is used to the big scene has never been soft in the playoffs, not only won the Finals MVP with the Spurs, but also led the team to win the championship in only one season with the Raptors. As for the Clippers, needless to say, when it comes to the Clippers, Leonard comes to mind now. So the three teams will definitely rush to erect a sculpture for him.
8. Durant
Thunder, Warriors
Even if many people say that Durant is a traitor to the Thunder and goes to the Warriors to join the enemy, even if many Warriors fans say that Durant is just a mercenary of the Warriors and has never been his own person, but I don't see it that way. I don't think normal fans will look at Durant from the perspective of Dream Green, after all, Durant won the MVP with the Thunder and 2 Finals MVPs with the Warriors. Both teams will make a sculpture of him, absolutely.
9. Curry
Warriors
Needless to say, the Warriors wanted Curry to do it, Curry did it, the Warriors didn't want Curry to do it, Curry did it. What's even more terrifying is that Curry used his three-point shot to change the style of the modern basketball game, redefining the point guard. The Warriors would be proud to have a sculpture for Curry, not Curry to be proud of the Warriors.
10, James
Cavaliers, Heat, Lakers
That's right, although James will overturn his previous confession of loyalty to the team every time he changes teams, James and his team really used the resources of their team to lead the team to win the championship, which is the most commendable thing. Perhaps, if James and his team don't work hard, these three teams won't have these NBA championships, and naturally other opponents will win the championship. Facts speak louder than words, James won the championship for these 3 teams, and naturally there will be the treatment of standing sculptures, absolutely.
