The media, retired/active players, coaches, general managers and team executives voted for the NBA's 75 biggest stars in history. The structure of the 75 list is very simple, and more than two dozen people are added on the basis of the "50". Poison sir actually does not approve of such a practice, after all, it is a raton historical selection star, and the achievements of the younger generations may not be able to cover the predecessors. But that's okay, those 50 are the NBA's "founding heroes," and the league should put them in the center of the hall of honor.
Originally there were only about twenty seats, but the older generation of stars such as Wilkins, McAdoo and Rodman occupied the magpie's nest. As a result, only 19 places are left, leaving a new generation of stars who have played well since 1996. The lack of monks and porridge, coupled with the fact that the alliance has not announced specific selection rules, inevitably leads to controversy. Interestingly, the result of the controversy is to recognize Jordan's status as the "first man in history".
Wei Shao, who has recently been in trouble, must be pulled out and pulled out twice, and his selection is actually not a big problem: the historical triple-double king, the regular season MVP and the 9-time league best team, honor and influence can please voters. Davis, the glass physique of "thick eyebrows", is similar to Westbrook on the surface, but his performance in the championship season is obvious to all, and the playoff score and victory contribution value are ranked first. Don't forget, Davis also has 4 best teams, playing the benchmark center performance of the small-ball era.
Paul and Anthony needless to say, the former is the perfect point guard without a championship, and the latter is the ninth in the all-time scoring list. The most controversial of the 75 superstar lists is probably Lillard.
Trail Blazers star Lillard, the best team in the 6 NBA, including 1 first team, 4 second teams and 1 third team, as well as 6 All-Stars and 2 skill game champions, led the team to the highest division finals. There are no championships, MVP and FMVP, no stunts, and no epic seasons, but it is voted to be selected for the 75. The only thing that can be explained is the heroic feelings of "one person, one city"? Lillard does not need to be deeply investigated for why he was selected, but we can use him as a model to speculate on the "preferences" of voters.
Ginobili is also "one person, one city", and there are 4 championships leaning over, unable to suppress Lillard, and it is likely to lose in the position of influence - the sixth man of the team. "French sports car" Tony Parker, the first foreign FMVP in history, also holds 4 championships, or is it because the regular season performance is not enough to explode? Maddie has seven squads of the year, including 2 firsts, creating a miracle of 35.13 seconds, and the honor and ability to overshadow Lillard. Failing to be named to the Top 75 may be disgusted by Maddy's playoff record and the short peak (which is also an important reason for Yao Ming's failure).
There's also Klay Thompson, a "3D" player with Ceiling, a key member of the Warriors' five-year triple crown, single-quarter scoring and single-game three-pointer record holder. The reason for the defeat to Lillard, or was it affected by a 2-year injury and the team's deputy? Of course, the most surprising thing is the "Warcraft" Howard. 8 All-Stars, 5 Best Players and 4 Best Defensive Players, 3 Times Best Defensive Player, one person led the team to the Finals, and a role player championship. Howard was the most qualified person to replace Lillard, and the voters did not elect him, probably because of the lack of heroism to change their lives against the sky.
In this way, we can roughly summarize the voter preferences: the team's heroic boss, excellent honor and ability, stable and stageless game, high attendance, long peak period, and influence on and off the field. According to this set of standards, isn't "Flyer" Jordan the first person in NBA history?
Before retiring for the second time, Jordan played 13 seasons, playing 11 seasons, with historic Ironman attendance. He won 10 regular season scoring kings in his career, averaging first points per game, playoff points per game and career PER. Playing for the Bulls did not pull the crotch in the game, and Jordan's personal ability is at an all-time high. However, there are not no players who are more fierce than Jordan, such as Russell, "Gutter" and Bird, but "Flyer" is basically the top three in history.
Jordan has led the team to complete two three-game championships and won 6 FMVPs himself, which is comparable to Russell's eight consecutive championships and 4MVP in history. However, in terms of the modern NBA system, no one can match the two triple crowns alone. In addition to the hardcore honor, Jordan also has the tendency to crush. The best one is not to mention, Joe Laozi has taken 5 constant + 6 decisions in total 11 MVPs, and the second most in history is the "gutter" Jabbar, a total of only 8 MVPs. Russell may have surpassed Jordan, but unfortunately the league did not select FMVP at that time.
Of course, what really opened the gap with the Ancient Divine Beasts was the off-site influence and legendary storytelling. Specifically, there is not much to mention, which can be simply understood as the creation of heroes by the times. Honor, ability and influence, and the sophistication of people in the jianghu, no matter what aspect, the voters must send a vote to Joe. Jordan is the first man in NBA history, no doubt.
In the end, no matter how the rules change, in the end, it is still the fight for awards and honors, which is the most convincing hard currency. Howard and others, come to an MVP or lead the team to the championship, where to be selected for the 75 will be difficult, unless the voters are obsessed with grievances.
