In everyone's impression, today's NBA league stars like to win the championship in a group, but as everyone knows, in the long river of history, most of the championships are completed by many stars gathering. Like the Lakers big three in the 80s, the big three in the Green Army, the big three bulls in the 90s, the OK combination in the 00s, the Spurs big three, etc., including the winning teams in the ancient times, are all star-studded. And the "single-core championship" in history can really be said to be rare, let's see who it is!
Fifth place: Cowy Leonard; Raptors championship in the 18-19 season. In the 18-19 season, Xiao Ka, who had just recovered from a serious injury, accidentally joined the Toronto Raptors and staged a season of gods. Previously, the Raptors have been very strong, with lowry and DeRozan's backcourt double guns, but have not rushed out of the East. After the arrival of the small card, he averaged 26.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the regular season, playing a new career high, and averaged 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in the playoffs, grabbing seven kills and killing 76ers, and defeating the Warriors in the Finals to win the first championship in Raptors history.
In addition to the small card, Lowry, Van Jordan, Siakam, and Mark Gasol were not the top players in the league at that time. However, I have to admit that the Raptors lineup was strong that year, and the Warriors also ranked fifth because of their poor injury strength. However, Xiao Ka still won the battle, won the MVP of the finals again, and became the top five stars in the league.
Fourth place: Rick Barry; Warriors championship in '74-75. Rick Barry is a legendary star, a tall striker is actually a steal master, and his invention of the "urinal" free throw action is also a classic scene in history. The 74-75 season was the peak of Barry's career, averaging 30.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game in the regular season, and was selected to the Best Team. In the Finals, Barry led the Warriors to a 4-0 sweep of the Washington Bullets to win his only NBA championship.
At that time, the Warriors were not optimistic, because in addition to Barry, the team's second star was Jamal Wilkes, who averaged 15 points per game, and it was Wilkes' rookie season. Therefore, Barry is also the first "single-core championship" star in NBA history.
Third place: Tim Duncan; Spurs championship in the 02-03 season. It was said that the regular season MVP was difficult to win, but Duncan did it, and it was almost on his own. After Duncan joined the Spurs, he quickly won the championship with David Robinson, but with Robinson retiring, the Spurs became Duncan's team alone. In the 01-03 season, Duncan won the regular season MVP, averaging 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game, and was successfully selected for the "double team". In the playoffs, Duncan performed to a higher level, averaging 24 points, 17 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 5.3 blocks in the six Finals with the Nets, and has dominated both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. In the sixth game of the finals, he scored 21 points, 20 boards, 10 assists and 8 blocks, almost four double-doubles, and his strength was really terrifying.
At that time, the Spurs were in the stage of replacement between the old and the new, and the second team leader at that time was the second-year "new sports car" Parker, and the "demon knife" Ginobili was still a first-year rookie at the time, so this was also the strongest season of Duncan's career.
Second place: Hakim Olajuwon; Rockets championship in 93-94. If the Rockets' two consecutive championships are two wars, it is clear that the 93-94 season is more difficult this time. Because of the 94 championship, Big Dream faced the Knicks led by the experienced and scrappy "Gorilla" Ewing, while the 95 championship faced the league's rising star "Shark" O'Neal. And in '95 the team welcomed helper "Glider" Draxler, which was the second only scoring guard in the 90s after Jordan. Big Dream averaged 28.9 points, 11 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in the playoffs in '94, and had a tough seven-point win over the Knicks in the Finals. Knicks core player Ewing was completely defended, averaging 18 points per game in the Finals, shooting 36%, which is the Finals.
The other rocket players in the 93-94 season include "Mad maxwell" and Robert Horry, although strong, but not stars who can stand alone. So Big Dream's first championship was won almost single-handedly.
First place: DeKnovitsky; Mavericks overall title in the 10-11 season. The Mavericks (Lone Rangers) with Dirk have been regulars in the playoffs, but have never had a chance to win the championship. In the 10-11 season, Dirk was in excellent form, averaging 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 52%, a career-high season. In the playoffs, the Mavericks first defeated the Lakers 4-0, then defeated the Thunder 4-1, and then defeated the Heat team that had just formed the Big Three 4-2 to successfully complete the revenge against the Heat. Dirk averaged 27.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting 46 percent from three-point range and 94.1 percent from the free throws, making him almost perfect.
At that time, the Mavericks also had a tough player such as Kidd, Terry, and Marion, but they were not at the peak of their careers, nor did they play a performance to turn the tide, so the road to winning the championship 10-11 was more like Dirk's personal performance.
In addition, there are many people who think that Wade won the championship in the 05-06 season in the Heat, which I think is not agreeable, O'Neal was still one of the league's top center, but Wade was too good. #马刺队
