With the NBA league releasing its entire list of 75 superstars (actually 76 selected due to equal votes), the discussion about whether they should be selected or not is deafening.
Fans and the media continue to discuss, and one of the reasons players care more is that this selection is not just part of the NBA's 75th anniversary celebrations, but has become an important honor for a player. Although it was selected and released in an atmosphere of celebration, it does not erase its symbolic recognition of the selected players.
Half the fun of sport is arguing about who's better, and the process of arguing is the process of looking back at history and seeing greatness again.
The HoopsHype website launched a statistic that the "75 Superstars" were once again judged, completely by the fans, so that those players who should have been selected and forgotten and snubbed could receive the honors that should have belonged to them in another way.
Here's a comparison of The 75 Superstars selected by HopsHype with the NBA's official roster, and lists those players who have been forgotten and snubbed in the hearts of fans:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Paul Gasol</h1>
Top Honors: 2 NBA Championships, 4 All-Star Teams, 6 All-Star Teams
NBA All-time stats: 21 blocks, 28 rebounds, 39 points, 124 assists
HoopsHype ranking: 57th
Gasol should be selected, which is almost the consensus of the fans. After the NBA officially released the "75 superstars" list, Gasol's name appeared the most, becoming the most powerful representative of fans questioning the selection criteria. The Lakers completed a qualitative change with his addition, and it was his combination with Kobe Bryant that led the Lakers to complete two consecutive championships. At the same time, he played a very important role as an international player in the internationalization of the NBA.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Dwight Howard</h1>
Top Honors: 1 NBA Championship, 5 All-Star, 8 All-Star, 3 All-Defensive Player, 4 All-Defensive Team
NBA All-time stats: 11 rebounds, 13 blocks, 59 points (as of the poll)
HoopsHype Rankings: 62nd
If Howard had known he would have been left out in the cold, he might not have been so excited to welcome fans to the 75th anniversary season.
Howard is the only player in NBA league history to win the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons. Over the course of his career, he has 13,000 rebounds and 2,000 blocks. So far, players in the NBA who can do this have been named to the official roster: Duncan, Garnett, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Parrish and Abdul-Jabbar.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chris Bosh</h1>
Top honors: 2 NBA championships, 1 NBA Second Team, 11 All-Stars
NBA all-time stats: 81 rebounds, 95 points, 111 blocks
HoopsHype ranking: 64th
The most underrated of the Heat Big Three and the one who is most often talked about. His role in terms of that Heat team is unquestionable, the representative of the space type four. Although his career was unfortunately interrupted by health problems, Bosh pioneered the modern four-position play, which is the prototype of the current spatial four-position.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tony Parker</h1>
Top Honors: 4 NBA Championships, 1 Finals MVP, 3 All-Second Team, 6 All-Stars
NBA All-time stats: Steals 19, Scores 53, Steals 148
HoopsHype ranking: 67th
As the offensive engine and backcourt commander of the San Antonio Spurs, the role in the GDP era does not need to be said, but the honor seems to let the "big one" take it. Parker is the only non-Native American-born player in NBA history who has scored at least 19,000 points and 7,000 assists. His short throw set a precedent for international defenders to succeed in the United States.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Vincent Carter</h1>
Top Honors: 1 All-Second Team, 1 All-Third Team, 8 All-Stars
NBA all-time stats: 19 points, 76 assists, 138 rebounds
HoopsHype ranking: 69th
Carter is the only player in NBA history since LeBron James and Michael Jordan to have scored more than 25,000 points, assisted 4,500 times, blocked 800 times and made 500 three-pointers.
In fact, before the ranking was announced, Yahoo Sports' Rohrbach speculated that Carter might miss it.
The highest scorer likely to be eliminated is Carter, who ranks 19th with 25,728 points, behind Alex Inglish. Carter missed the playoffs in all three of his All-Star seasons. He played in a divisional final at the age of 33. While he may be the strongest dunk in league history, Wilkins is like Wilkins, Carter has only been in the Best Team twice, and the MVP vote has not exceeded 10th place. ”
Probably for some of the reasons proposed by Rohrbach, he did not appear on the list for the 75th anniversary.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Alex Inglish</h1>
Top honors: 3 all-second team, 8 all-star selections
NBA all-time stats: 20 points, 95 assists, 143 rebounds, 145 steals
HoopsHype ranking: 71st
Ingrish had a good reason for being selected. When he retired from the 1990–91 season, he ranked seventh in career totals in league history. He is also the first player in NBA history to score 2,000 points for eight consecutive years.
When Inglesh retired, he thought he would be in the league's top 50. He needed this recognition, and unfortunately, there was no one on the official list of "75 Superstars". Maybe he'll get that honor when the league releases its 100th anniversary roster 25 years later.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Bernard King</h1>
Top Honors: 2 All-Stars, 4 All-Stars
NBA all-time stats: 54 points, 241 assists, 250 steals
HoopsHype ranking: 72nd
Asked who would be most worried about being left out on the "75 Superstars" poll, Hall of Famer "Glider" Drexler mentioned Bernard King.
Bernard King led the league in 1984–85 with an average of 32.9 points per game, and he was one of the greatest basketball players in New York history.
The only thing that worked against him was injuries that shortened his career. However, he still played more games than Bill Walton, who managed to make it onto the 75th and 50th anniversary superstar lists.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tracy McGrady</h1>
Top Honors: 7 All-Stars, 7 Best Teams (2 Firsts, 3 Seconds, 2 Thirds), 1 Best Progressive Player Award
NBA All-time stats: 72 points, 111 assists, 147 blocks, 235 rebounds
HoopsHype ranking: 73rd
With a height of 6 feet 8 inches, excellent shooting feel and athleticism, Maddy is largely considered the prototype of the modern forward player. Maddy has won the top scorer for two consecutive years. If you don't count the final year at the Spurs, he led the team to the playoffs a total of 8 times in his career, but he did not pass the first round.
Youth is gone, the best time for Chinese fans thank you!
