The NBA's annual Best Sixth Man Award was first established in the 82/83 season to honor the most valuable substitute players. Harden, who is well known to fans, won the best sixth man award when he played for the Thunder in the 11/12 season. The sixth man's tactical idea was proposed by "Cardinal" Albach, and later generations continued to carry forward his ideas and played an important role in actual combat.
Cardinal Albach
The 82/83 season began when the NBA launched the award, with the first winner being Bobby, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers. Jones, so he became the first person to eat crabs. Jones is 2.06 meters tall, and has been named to the All-Star Team four times in his career, nine times to the Best Defensive Team, and helped the team win the championship in 1983. The No. 24 jersey was retired by the 76ers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame on April 6, 2019.
Bobby. Jones
Although the sixth man is a substitute, his strength is at least one or two players stronger than the starting players, and he is fully qualified for the starter in terms of strength. The winner must be substituted for less time than the starting time. McHale, who won the best sixth man in 84 and 85, and Bill Clinton, the sixth man in 86. Wharton was later inducted into the Hall of Fame, plus Bobby. Jones and Kukoc, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame as an international player in 2021, are currently four sixths inductees into the Hall of Fame.
Curry and Dell. Curry
As of 2021, a total of 32 people have won the best sixth person, abbreviated in English. Among them was Curry's father, Dale. Curry. He scored smoy in '93/94 and averaged 16.3 points, 2.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Harden and Walton are the only two best sixths to win the regular season MVP.
McHale, Ricky. Davis and Dtreve won the best sixth man twice. 04/05 book. Gordon averaged the best sixth man in his rookie season with 15.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was the only player to pick up smoy in his rookie season.
root. Gordon
Ginobili, Ben. Gordon, Kukoc, Dereve. Schramf and Barbosa are non-American-born international players, and all five of them have won the smoy award.
There are also several smoy players who have won championships. Including Ginobili, McHale, Wharton, Kukoc, Jason. Terry, Odom, Harrell, Barbosa, Jr. Smith. Ginobili has won four championships and is hopefully inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future.
Manu. Ginobili
The best sixth man closest to us was Clarkson. Averaging 18.4 points, four rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season helped the Jazz win the division championship. Will it be Anthony or Mills this season? I'm more optimistic about these two people.
Crawford
Both Lou Wei and Crawford got three smoys. Lou Wei first won the award in the 14/15 season, and won the award in the 17/18 and 18/19 seasons, matching Crawford's record.
Jamal. Crawford took the lead in winning the best sixth man three times, becoming the first person in history, and the jianghu people called it "Ke Liu".
He played for a total of 8 NBA teams in his career, and did not like to miss the opportunity to win the championship in his career.
In 2004, he scored his first single-game 50 points with the Bulls and entered the "50" club. In 2007, he scored a career-high 52 points in a single game against the Knicks, shooting eight three-pointers, including 16 consecutive goals. Traded to the Warriors in 2008, he scored another 50 points on December 20 of that year, averaging 19.7 points, 3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the 08/09 season, and failed to impress the Warriors management, and then traded to the Hawks.
The Hawks averaged 18 points and 3 assists in their first season, performed nine "4-point" performances, and unsurprisingly won the best sixth man for the first time. Later, he moved to the Clippers and was re-elected to the smoy for the 13/14 season with an average of 18.6 points per game, becoming the first player in history to win the award for both teams. In the 15/16 season, Crawford made a comeback to win the best sixth man for the third time, becoming the first player to take a three-time smoy.
On March 28, 2019, the Suns played against the Lone Ranger Nowitzki in the farewell battle, playing 37 minutes and 18 of 30 shooting, he scored 51 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, breaking the record of 50 points at the age of 39 years and 20 days. After the game, Nowitzki teased Klein six to steal his limelight.
Although Ke Liu does not have a crown, but the data is particularly good, good at offense, he scored 54 "4 points", is the most completed "3 + 1" player in history. He played 1326 games, won 873 games, scored a total of 19414 points, and shot 2221 three-pointers, making him the greatest best sixth man in history! The probability of being inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future is also very high.
