Just as a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, a thousand people will have a thousand historical rankings in their hearts. Most NBA celebrities have been asked about their historical rankings, and recently, former All-Star guard Joe Johnson, nicknamed "Eagle King", recently made a historical ranking of the position of the scoring guard in an interview.
In Joe Johnson's mind, the top five all-time point guards are Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.
Although this ranking only represents personal opinion, once it is announced, it will always trigger a wide range of discussions in the media and fans. The top three, Jordan, Bryant and Wade, have no controversy, and the three have won 14 championships together, and have also won the FMVP and the regular season scoring champions, all of which have played a very dominant performance in the playoffs.
But the latter two are more controversial, and younger fans believe that Harden should be in the top five, after all, Harden once won the scoring championship for three consecutive seasons, and his scoring ability is better than Ray Allen and Miller.
Older fans believe that the other three of the four quarterbacks of the year, namely Iverson, Maddy and Carter, are also eligible to be shortlisted, especially Iverson and Maddy, who have won the scoring championship more than once, while the contemporary Ray Allen was somewhat reluctantly shortlisted.
Each argument is convincing enough, but Joe Johnson must have his own reason for not choosing these people. Harden was not chosen most likely because Harden is an active player, there is no way to complete the final positioning, and he has never won a championship, and his performance in key playoff moments has been criticized.
An important reason for not choosing Iverson and Maddy was probably because neither of them had won a championship, and both of them had a bleak late career, because of the burden of superstars, neither of them was willing to change their playing style, so that no one cared about it later in their careers, and they left the league hastily.
In contrast, although Ray Allen did not have such a strong personal honor as the scoring king and MVP, nor did he have a ten-point personal performance, but the entire career was relatively stable, and the later transformation was also very successful, it was Curry's best three-pointer in the NBA before, and still maintained the historical three-point record, won two championships, and played until the age of 39, if he wanted, he could even play for many more years.
Reggie Miller was synonymous with the three-pointer technology of the 90s, Miller was a household name, and 2560 three-pointers were also the NBA record. But it must also be admitted that he is inferior in hard indicators, and Joe Johnson may choose him more from personal emotional considerations.
In short, there has never been a standard answer to such a thing as a historical ranking, and the only thing that will not change at present is that Jordan has always been in the first place. #科比 Bryant #
