The basketball court is full of superstars, but when it comes to talent, Maddie has something to say. He believes there are only five players in NBA history who truly have the best talent, and he can be ranked in the top three himself. Why is Maddie so confident? Let's take a look at his list of top talents.
Jordan, the name is already synonymous with basketball. His physicality is nothing short of a myth on the basketball court: 1.98 meters tall, excellent reach, and that enviable ability to stay in the air. Not only can Jordan perform all kinds of incredible moves in the air, but his willpower is also unmatched. Six championships are a testament to his dominance. Jordan is not only physically amazing, but his hard work and tenacity make him the undisputed god of basketball.
When it comes to O'Neal, the big shark O'Neal's height and weight are a nightmare for opponents. With a height of 2.16 meters and a weight of nearly 300 pounds, coupled with his nimble feet and excellent basketball skills, this big guy is simply unstoppable on the inside. Don't look at his size, dribbling and passing are not a problem. O'Neal not only relied on his body to eat opponents, but also scored beautiful statistics, and ruled an era with Kobe.
Talking about James, the height and weight ratio of the little emperor is simply a golden combination on the basketball court. With a height of 2.06 meters and a weight of 220 pounds, he has both strength and speed. James can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, has a wide vision, and can easily score a near-triple-double. What's even more rare is that James' physical fitness is extremely durable, and after all these years, he can still maintain his top form in high-intensity competitions.
And then there's Maddie herself. Tracy McGrady, who is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 200 pounds, can switch freely between the 1-3 positions. He's lightning fast, has great arms, incredible bounces, and excellent coordination. Maddie's passing vision is wide, his style of play is elegant, and his offensive means are varied. At his peak, he was the leading scorer, unstoppable, and even scored 13 points in 35 seconds in his memory. The only regret is that injuries have affected his career, but that doesn't affect his high position in the talent list.
Finally, there's Kobe. Kobe Bryant's physicality may not be the top of the NBA's "beasts," but he's a top-tier combination of all the skills needed in basketball. His reach and speed, while only qualified, possess the Mamba spirit and unmatched skill. He has proven himself with five championships and numerous basketball records. Kobe's story is one of the most legendary and great in basketball history.
Maddie confidently believes she can finish in the top three, and even if you look at the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of such talent combinations. What do you think of Maddie's words? Do you think he can be in the top three? Feel free to talk in the comment section!
