Now Edwards' "retro" style of play in the game reminds fans of the picturesque offensive picture of the high-quality quarterbacks in the league in the past.
Once Jordan brought the power of role model to a large number of children who love basketball, which achieved the grand occasion of a large number of outstanding quarterbacks later, and even caused Jordan to miss the vote king in the All-Star voting to a certain extent.
After the second comeback, Jordan missed the vote king for two consecutive years, and even the All-Star starter, and Carter was the one who beat Jordan in 2002 and 2003 to be elected as the All-Star vote king, and in 2003, Jordan's All-Star position was still given by Carter, "Half-Man, Demigod" Carter left many classic shots in his career, and it was the first career in NBA history to cross the existence of "90, 00, 10, 20" four years.
In 1995, Carter entered the league as the No. 5 pick in the first round, so who are the four players before him and what are the achievements? There is only one all-star, the champion "parallel import".
Winner: Michael Olovokandi
9 years of career
Averages per game: 8.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, shooting 43.5% from the field
A Nigerian player who made his first official contact with basketball in his teens, crossed the ocean to the United States to pursue his basketball dream, and was selected by a Western Conference team with the first pick in the NBA draft, he is Michael Olovokandi.
An experience similar to his hometown Olajuwon and his college stats have increased dramatically every year, from 4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in his freshman season to 22.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in his junior season, which made Olovo Kandi's original draft prospects soar, and finally the Clippers selected him with the second No. 1 pick in team history after joining the NBA in 1970.
However, the experience of college and the highlight moment of the champion seemed to have a little overwhelmed Olowokandi's mind, and there were reports that Olovokandi rejected Abdul-Jabbar's kindness to coach him, claiming that he was already very good at his skills, and Abdul-Jabbar later talked about Olovokandi bluntly said that he was an opinionated, arrogant, unteachable player.
Turning over Olowokandi's NBA resume, he didn't find the feeling of turning over the river and the sea inside in college at all, and the average data per game was not at all champion, and the peak data was only 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, although the Clippers insisted on cultivating Olowokandi for a short time, but the results were few, and they had to bear the trouble caused by Olookandi's "thorn attribute", and the Clippers finally decided to part ways with Olookandi in the 2002-03 season.
After leaving Angel City, Olowo Kandi is no longer the team's "rising star", and the starting position is unstable after arriving at the Timberwolves, and then the rotation order is gradually marginalized, and after playing 24 games with the Celtics in the 2006-07 regular season with 1.7 points and 2 rebounds, Olowo Kandi faded out of the league, and now, his name is more mentioned in the "parallel top" list.
Eye: Mike Bibby
14 years of career
Averages per game: 14.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, shooting 43.6% from the field
After starting his basketball career, Bibby seemed to be written into the "champion gene", helping the team win the Arizona championship in high school, Bibby was able to hand over 13.5 points and 5.2 assists in his freshman season, and was the team's assist king, as a "court commander" helped the University of Arizona win the NCAA championship, and in his sophomore season, he won more individual awards and was named Player of the Year.
Drafted into the league by the Grizzlies with the second pick in the first round in 1995, Bibby brought his playmaking talent and tough style of play to the league, averaging 13.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game in his rookie season, leading the team in assists per game.
In the third season of his career, Bibby's average assists per game came to the league's fourth-highest 8.4, but the Grizzlies, who had poor overall strength, struggled in the "quagmire" for many years, unable to get rid of the hat of the fish belly team, Bibby who was stumbling for years waited for a beam of Sacramento light in 2001, and the Kings who intended to return to the forest of strong teams lined up, only the No. 1 position was almost meaningless, and after the introduction of Bibby, the "Gorgeous King" was formed.
With Bibby in the backcourt and other stars such as Webb, Divac and Peja, the Kings have taken the league by storm, becoming one of the most flamboyant teams in the early years of the 21st century and one of the strongest teams in the West, with the only 60+ wins in team history in 2001-02. Bibby's "Gorgeous Kings" once caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers led by the "OK Combination" to win the championship.
When the former Kings gradually disintegrated, Bibby took the steps to go to the Hawks, and then played for 3 teams in a season in the latter part of his career, and it was also this season that Bibby appeared on the Finals stage for the only time in his career, becoming the top of the reliable point guard list around the "Big Three" of James, Wade, and Bosh, but unfortunately the Heat failed to win the championship in the end.
Bibby is a high-quality point guard who has scored 21.1 points and 5.4 assists, and was the main point guard of the Kings who ranked among the top in the West, but he has not been selected as an All-Star in his 14-year career, which is also a pity, Bibby was at his peak The competition for the backcourt position of the Western All-Star is too fierce, Nash, Payton, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, Marbury, etc., make it difficult for Bibby to find a place.
Tanhua: Reeve Lafrenz
10 years of career
Averages per game: 10.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, shooting 46.6% from the field
Lafrentz has already made a name for himself in basketball when he was in high school, being selected to the All-American First Team and McDonald's All-American First Team by USA Today, helping the University of Kansas achieve a luxurious record of 123-17 in four years of college, LaFerencz was named to the Associated Press All-America Team twice, and was the only two college players in the 20th '90s who could do so, the other being O'Neal.
In the 1998 draft, the Nuggets picked Lafrentz with the second scout pick in team history and brought him into the NBA, Rookie season, Lafrentz made his NBA debut at the end of the season because of a left knee injury, although he made a smooth comeback, his athleticism was affected to a certain extent, and he was originally an "older rookie" and he didn't have much potential to dig up, and the Nuggets didn't stay with Lafrentz for a long timeand trade it before the end of the rookie contract.
Coming to the second stop of his career Mavericks, Lafrentz also entered the field of vision of a large number of fans on the other side of the ocean, he formed a competitive relationship with Wang Zhizhi, who was playing in the tinned line at the time, the two have similar technical characteristics on the offensive end, and they can both play as big forwards and centers, and the rotation time is sometimes one or the other, however, Lafrentz did not play too well as an important reinforcement for the Mavericks, and changed the door in less than two seasons.
A left knee injury in his rookie season cost Lafrentz some of his athleticism, but his astute judgment on the defensive end was still there, and he was 2.11 meters tall and able to shoot three-pointers, which was a good attribute at the time, so Lafrentz found a stable rotation position in the league, and even starting was basically not a problem.
It's just that injuries are frequent, Lafrentz has been able to play sporadically, and his impression points with various teams in the league have also been discounted, and Lafrentz has not played in the NBA since the 2007-08 season, and announced his retirement in 2009.
No. 4 pick of the first round: Antoine Jamison
16 years of career
Averages per game: 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, shooting 45.1% from the field
Of the players in the NBA1998 draft, only four have scored more than 20,000 career points, and Jamieson is not the other than Nowitzki, Pierce, and Carter.
Jamison is the existence of a 51-point drama with Kobe Bryant, he can play as a small forward, a big forward, has a good space attribute, the shooting range can cover the three-point line, and has a variety of finishing methods, low back, face frame with the ball can achieve good results, but for Jamison, being the top player of a team in the NBA does not seem to be so simple, compared with his former North Carolina "little brother" Carter, Jamison in the NBA seems a lot bleaker.
Jamison originally entered the NBA with the halo of a Naismith Award and a Wooden Award winner, but was selected by the Raptors in the draft, and was immediately put into a trade to swap owners with Carter to go to the Warriors to enter the league, and Jamison's reputation and Carter quickly opened up a gap.
Looking back on Jamison's NBA career, he also has the experience of being selected as an All-Star, as a forward-line player with all-round offensive skills, Jamison is the "sweet and sweet" in the eyes of many teams in the league that are intended to improve competitiveness, he almost has nowhere to go, and has worked with many stars, such as Nowitzki, Arenas, James, Kobe, etc., and also won the best sixth man in the 2003-04 season, and is one of Nowitzki's best helpers.
But after 16 years in the league, he has not been able to reach the finals once, which is a bit regrettable for Jamison, I don't know if he regretted that he was not a few years younger after leaving the league in 2014 to see the popularity of space forwards in the small-ball era.
