On May 7, Beijing time, DeRozan, a basketball player known as the "Godfather of China Pitch", has won the love of countless fans in the basketball world with his superb shooting skills and stable scoring ability. However, despite his great performance in modern basketball, some believe that he was born in the wrong era and that he would have been one of the big four quarterbacks at the beginning of the 21st century. So, if DeRozan really played at the beginning of the 21st century, could he play alongside legends like Kobe, Iverson, Maddy, Carter, etc.?
First, let's take a look at DeRozan's basketball career. DeRozan is known for his excellent mid-range shooting ability, and his shooting touch and consistency are extremely rare in modern basketball. He was always able to stay calm in the game and score points for the team when it mattered most. In addition, DeRozan's scoring ability is also quite terrifying, and he has scored high points many times in the game, showing a strong scoring explosion.
However, in the NBA league at the beginning of the 21st century, the style and rules of the game of basketball differed from that of modern basketball. At that time, the NBA paid more attention to physical fitness and confrontation ability, and DeRozan's physical fitness and confrontation ability were not his strong points. In contrast, players such as Kobe, Iverson, Maddy, Carter and others all possess excellent physicality and confrontational ability, and they are better able to adapt to the style of play at the time.
However, if we put DeRozan in the NBA league at the beginning of the 21st century, he still has the potential to be a great player. First of all, DeRozan's shooting skills and scoring ability are extremely competitive in any era. Secondly, DeRozan's composure and consistency in the game is also an important factor in his ability to stand in any era. Finally, DeRozan's leadership and team spirit in the game are also key factors in his ability to be the core of the team in any era.
Of course, DeRozan will need to put in more effort and sweat if he wants to become a superstar in the NBA at the beginning of the 21st century. He needed to constantly improve his physicality and fighting ability to adapt to the style of play at the time. At the same time, he also needs to constantly learn and improve his basketball skills to stay ahead of the curve in the heat of the game.
However, we cannot ignore what DeRozan has already achieved. He has proven his strength and worth in modern basketball, he is a great player and a trusted leader. If you put him in the NBA league at the beginning of the 21st century, he has the potential to become a superstar on a par with legendary players such as Kobe, Iverson, Maddy, Carter, etc.
Overall, DeRozan was born in modern basketball, and his basketball career has been brilliant enough. However, if we assume that he was born in the NBA league at the beginning of the 21st century, he still has the potential to be a great player and even a superstar. In any case, DeRozan is a basketball player of great strength and talent, and his basketball career deserves our memory and attention.
