On April 30, Beijing time, the U.S. media recently interviewed 85 active players with the theme of "Who is the greatest player in NBA history", and completed an in-depth investigation based on the choices of 15 active players on social media and interviews. The results of this in-depth investigation were a little unexpected.
Among the 100 active players, the GOAT of 49ers is Jordan, James is second with 37 votes, followed by Kobe Bryant with 9 votes. Of the remaining 5 votes, Anthony, Durant, Wade, Bird, and Bill Russell divided the five, each with 1 vote.
To be honest, in this list, it is normal for Jordan to still rank No. 1, and it is normal for James to get 37 votes, after all, many young players now have grown up watching James's ball; Kobe Bryant's 9 votes are also very reasonable, and there are many post-90s players who are sensible, it is Kobe's peak.
It's normal for Bird and Bill Russell to get 1 vote, one is a 3-time MVP, and the other is an 11-time champion.
The only thing that is somewhat surprising is: Anthony, Wade, and Durant all got 1 vote, why is Curry 0 votes?
From the perspective of personal honors, Anthony has 0 MVP, 0 championships, and 0 firsts in his career, and the only shot he can take may be an offensive kaleidoscope, winning 1 scoring title;
Although Wade has 3 championships and 1 Finals MVP, he does not have a regular season MVP;
Durant is 1 MVP + 2 championships + 2 Finals MVP, scoring champion and multiple times. (There is a serious suspicion that Durant's vote is Edwards')
Curry is 2 MVPs + 4 championships + 1 FMVP, scoring champion and a number of times, and what's more, the current league's crazy three-point shooting is led by Curry, it can be said that Curry has created a new era of NBA play, and he is also the NBA's all-time three-point king.
But with such brilliant achievements and past, Curry has not been recognized by active players, and none of the 100 people chose Curry as a GOAT, you must know that even a player of George's level was considered his GOAT by last year's list Miller.
Why is there no active player who chooses Curry as the GOAT? Anyway, I personally don't understand, is it that the current players can shoot three-pointers, so I don't recognize Curry, who is good at three-pointers, is the kind of "you will, I will, it's not a big deal" mentality? Or I just didn't interview an active player who thinks Curry is the GOAT.
