Now that the new NBA season has started for a week, each team is in a different situation, the only thing that is the same is that every team wants to achieve a good result this season. However, with each new season, there will be different players getting stronger and more players going weaker. Recently, the US media has calculated a more embarrassing data, that is, the ranking of the players with the slowest average moving speed this season, and there are many faces that everyone is familiar with in this list, so how is this list? Let's take a look.
James
The fourth place on this list belongs to James, as a veteran who is almost 37 years old, James is definitely a miracle in the history of the NBA, because he is still leading the team to the championship trophy as an absolute team core at this age. However, the impact of age on James is still very large, and James's physical strength has been significantly insufficient before, and this season is even more obvious. James' average speed of movement this season is only 5.904 km/h, which is like squirming, which cannot be generalized at all with his peak state.
Gordon
The next third player is Gordon, in fact, Gordon's appearance on this list is more surprising, because Gordon himself is a defender, and he himself will take on the responsibility of fast attack in many cases. However, Gordon's average speed of movement this season is only 5.872 km/h, which is basically a walk on the court. In fact, Gordon is also very old, he will not be too long in the league, if he continues to paddle like this, he may soon face no ball to play.
Embiid
Embiid, who ranks second, is the only inside player on this list, and as a player who is more than 2 meters 10 meters tall and weighs more than 200 pounds, his slow movement speed is actually acceptable. After all, Embiid's main offensive method is still positional attack, and the main promoter of the team's attack is also him, he can completely ignore the speed problem, just single in the low position. However, Embiid will also be subject to a lot of restrictions, so it is not a good thing to be too slow.
Harden
What everyone can never imagine is that Harden is actually the slowest player in the league now, although Harden has been a very lazy player before, and he has to wait until about 8 seconds to get to the half every time, but Harden also has a good speed when he attacks fast. However, harden is now becoming unable to play because of the change in the rules of the league, and has not played well in several games, and has been greatly restricted. Maybe it's because of the rules, or maybe it's because of his own mentality, which causes Harden to move so slowly.
In fact, for leagues at this level in the NBA, even the slowest Harden will have a very fast movement speed, although the slow movement speed and the real playing strength may not be directly proportional, but this also represents the attitude of a player. The only player on this list who can say that he can't run because he needs to save his physical strength is James, after all, now that James is really old, he really needs to take a break. But similar to Harden and Embiid and Gordon, they certainly can't do it, especially Harden, he really needs to run.
