No blowing, no black! What is Leonard's position in the league today?
Leonard's career resume as a player is quite wonderful, which can be said to be "ups and downs".
You say he's a talented player, right? It was only a fifteenth pick.
You say he's not famous, right? At a young age, he "took away" the GDP finals FMVP.
After personally leading the Raptors to win the first championship in team history, people felt that he was the new king who ascended the throne and would achieve a great cause.
However, after switching to the Clippers, he seems to have degenerated into one of many "super giants", and even disappeared into obscurity...
Leonard, what the hell is wrong with him?
The reasons for this are nothing more than two.
One: Team record.
After Leonard and Paul George joined, the Clippers became a super battleship team that made the outside world call the "NBA finale".
Contrary to expectations, such a luxurious division has not reached the heights expected by people, and Leonard's popularity as the leader of the house will naturally be affected, and its status in the hearts of fans will also decline.
Two: personality issues.
Leonard has always been the kind of player who is not sociable, and because of the "hesitant" decision of that summer, he lost his good popularity, and even many fans have since "turned the road to powder and turned black." ”
Personality problems also make Leonard unable to become a "media darling" after all. There is no topic in him, and people's eyes naturally do not focus on it, which also affects his status and presence in the league to a certain extent.
Leonard's personal strength is beyond doubt, but in addition to the need for strong strength and honor, often some other specific factors are needed to complement Leonard's status, and he suffers from this.
How many players do you think Leonard can rank among active players?
