The essence of the NBA is a business alliance. Above the arena, speak with strength; outside the arena, we must consider the business ecology. Whether it is official certification, other authoritative sports media, or street writers, in order to earn economic and traffic effects, it is not strange to raise the status of modern stars or demean some modern stars through topic lists or ancient and modern comparisons.
Whether it is thick and thin or thick and thin, at least many years after retirement, it can be widely mentioned by fans or the media as a benchmark for future generations, which is certainly not a bad thing for the stars themselves, because this is actually a way for fans to unconsciously relive their glorious years, which is better than those who are gradually forgotten by fans.
In the NBA topic ecology, there is always such a group of superstar players in the topic area with a very low sense of presence. In fact, their honor or historical status is not necessarily worse than that of other old cannons, but they lack the selling points or famous terriers that can be mentioned frequently. In this article, the author will take stock of the top ten NBA superstars that are most easily forgotten by fans for your reference. Of course, if there is a choice of discussion or beads, you are naturally welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
10. Walter Fraser
Walter Fraser, nicknamed Clyde the Rogue, played primarily for the New York Knicks in his heyday. In his thirteen-year NBA career, Fraser, a point guard, can keep 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists, and in the third grade, he promoted himself to a 21+8+6 point guard, and maintained this level of performance from the 69/70 season to the 75/76 season.
While scoring ability and rebounding are excellent, Fraser is also known for his defensive ability and stealing ability, which can be said to be a rare first-place attack and defense master. Seven all-Star starters, four first-team, two-time second-team, seven-time all-defensive team, twice as a second-time all-time, twice as a second-time winner to help the New York Knicks win the championship. To be fair, in terms of the best team, team resume, career data, Fraser is impeccable, but when discussing the list of the best point guards in history, most modern fans will not think of this famous player who swept the NBA league in the 70s in the top ten list. In addition to the age, the mvp and fmvp honors are still a little bit short of the regret of getting it, which is indeed a lack of topic direction that will mention Fraser in the future generations.
IX. Elvin Hayes
Elvin Hayes, nicknamed "Big E". In the NBA's all-time rebounding list, Chamberlain, Russell and Abdul-Jabbar are in the top three, and the strongest player who appears in the fourth place is Elvin Hayes, who has played mainly as a big forward in his career. In addition, Big E is a very representative Ironman player in the NBA, missing only nine games in his sixteen-year career, which makes him the third most time player in history and the fifth most played.
In addition to his amazing rebounding ability and physical endurance, Elvin Hayes, who has won the title of the season's scoring champion, is actually not well known to future generations of fans as an interior scorer. An NBA superstar active in the 1970s and early 1980s, Elvin Hayes left behind 21 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game after a sixteen-year career, and was selected to the All-Star team (four starts), three first-team and three second-team appearances. In the '77-78 season, Elvin Hayes helped the Washington Bullets win the championship. To this day, in the historical discussion posts about super big forwards in the fan talk section, few fans will actively mention the existence of big e.
VIII. Willis Reed
After eleven years of his NBA career, Willis Reed left behind statistics of 18.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and was selected as a total of seven All-Stars (four starts), one first- and five second-team. As mentioned earlier, Fraser once helped the New York Knicks win the championship twice as a core player, but did not qualify for the honor of FMVP. The reason why the famous point guard of the generation missed the fmvp twice is simple, because of the presence of Willis Reed in the New York Knicks at the time.
Up to now, what kind of cheers and love will players with two championships and two fmvp experiences get, to some extent, you can refer to the top player of the active Clippers, who was given the reputation of "Contemporary Jordan" by a certain Chinese, not to mention that Willis Reed also has an mvp honor. On the other hand, in the NBA fan circle, the experience of having an mvp and an fmvp is enough to be characterized by fans as supergiant. In this perspective, Reed also has one more fmvp and a boss championship ring than Nowitzki, but everyone will talk more about the Lone Ranger of Dallas, often forgetting or never knowing the existence of Willis Reed, the strongest man in Madison Gardens.
VII. Dolf Sheis
Once a boss championship, twelve times selected for the NBA All-Star Team, six times selected for the NBA All-NBA First Team, six times selected for the NBA Best Team Second Team, Dolf Shea is an early star in the NBA, one of the important players who helped the NBA League grow from its inception, and is known for its iconic two-handed shooting moves and fierce rebounding skills. However, due to its age, there are probably very few young fans who know its name. To this day, if you want to find the representative of the Jewish star, I am afraid that you still have to recommend Dolf Sheis.
Rick Barry
In the NCAA League, the elder Barry once left a season scoring stat that averaged 37.4 points per game. After entering the professional basketball league, the elder Barry continued to appear as an unstoppable scoring machine. After a decade in the NBA, Rick Barry left a perfect 23.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. In these ten seasons, the elder Bari has scored more than thirty points in four seasons, and the best season is to average 35.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
As a small striker, Barry Sr. was a fantastic figure in the seventies. In the 74/75 season, the elder Barry led the under-expected Golden State Warriors all the way to victory, and finally swept the Washington Bullets in the final to win the championship. That season, Barry averaged 30.6 points per game, while the team's second- to fifth scorers all averaged around 10 to 14 points per game. In the author's opinion, the crown of that year is definitely a single-core championship journey that has been forgotten by everyone. In addition, in the aba league, the elder Barry has also won the championship. In terms of individual influence in his time, the exaggeration of the elder Barry will never be under the familiar small forwards such as Bird, Pippen, James and Durant.
John Hafricheck
With one FMVP trophy, thirteen All-Star lineups (ten starts), eight championship rings, four first-team, seven second-team, five first-defenses, Hafricheck has won numerous awards in his career. As a giant team in the history of the NBA, the Boston Celtics have produced too many classic players. Whether it's starting or playing super sixth, whether it's blocking or dribbling, rebounding or passing, Hafrick as an all-around wing can do his best.
However, I am afraid that their team history scorer John Hafricheck will not appear in the top 5 of the fans' priority response. One of the reasons for this age and lack of video circulation is that Hafricheck's rise was in the middle of the Boston dynasty, and he was old enough to take over as team leader and lacked an epic sense of praise. When fans in later generations mention this person, their first reaction will often be only the "God One Break" that has been praised as a classic, rather than the three-dimensional impression of him as a player.
4. George McCann
In the life and death process of the NBA League through the initial era to the stage of stable development, George McCann played an extremely important role. As an epoch-making player, McCann was no less dominant in his fifties than big men like Chamberlain and O'Neal. Not only as a source of box office promotion for popular superstars, George McCann's value is that he drove the league to revise many basketball rules with his excessive personal strength, gradually reducing the friendliness of basketball games to non-giant players, so that the game truly matured and professionalized.
Iii. Bob Cush
Truth be told, Bob Cush deserves the title of "Point Guard God" more than Chris Paul. As the backcourt core of Boston's first dynasty, his possession and passing skills were far ahead of their time. Light theory developed weak side hand dribbling, developed not looking at human passing, developed behind the dribbling skills, he brought a revolutionary change to the position of point guard. In a sense, 50% of Cush's extends 100% of the Stockton style, and the other 50% derives the magician style, the long honor does not need to be mentioned, the most commendable thing is that Cusi made basketball more pleasing to the eye and inspired the direction of point guard development.
Bob Petit
In NBA history, the first generation of Eagle King, Bob Petit, is the first player to win two MVP honors, before Russell, Chamberlain, Abbad and others to achieve this achievement.
In eleven years of his career, Bob Petit averaged 26.4 points plus 16.2 points and 3.0 assists per game. On a personal level, there are almost no strikers in their time who can compete with the Eagle King. Unfortunately, Petit played for the Hawks throughout his career, and the latter's overall combat strength was relatively weak in the era, and Bob Petit only had one championship in the account, which also led to the Eagle King's reputation gradually buried in the passage of time.
I. Moses Malone
Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, Jordan, Chamberlain, James, Magician, Bird, and Moses Malone. In the long history of the NBA, only these eight people have won MVPs three or more times. Compared with the super high level of discussion of the first seven gods in the topic area, Moses Malone seems a little too small and transparent.
Moses Malone suffered from the legend of the number of championships and the championship experience, he only won the championship once and the fmvp honor once. Somewhat similar to Durant, Moses Malone has shown a strong mercenary color throughout his career. In the championship-winning 82/82 season, Moses Malone was the new signing for the Philadelphia 76ers, who were the turf that Dr. J had been working on for years and had long been strong in the lineup. Whether Durant will enter the Forgotten Club with Moses Malone years from now is hard to say.
One thing to say, with one less mvp and no championship bonus, Carl Malone's presence in the topic area exploded With Moses Malone. There's no way out, who let the opponent of the peak postman is Jordan the flying man?
