Curry was recently asked to select the strongest five people in history to start. Besides himself, he chose another four people. Curry picked four retired predecessors, namely magician, Nowitzki, Jordan and O’Neal.
Let’s not talk about who you picked first. If you look at who you didn’t pick, it will cause great controversy. Everyone’s first instinct is to miss who. Who is it?
Either James or Kobe was missed. Between these two, is it reasonable to choose at least one?
Of course, let’s listen to Curry’s explanation of his choice first:
“When I play point guard, I choose the magician first-we play mixed guard. Next is Jordan, then Dirk (Nowitzki), which can open the space and shoot. I have to pick a big one, then pick a diesel engine (O’Neal) to press the array. I think this lineup is reliable.”
Is there any problem with Curry’s lineup?
First of all, Curry’s choice is relatively small. The media is afraid that he is self-modest. The premise set is that he can only choose 4 people. Jordan must enter such a small range. The first two of Curry’s choices are magician and Nowitzki.
The biggest question is that Curry said that he occupied the position of point guard. In theory, the number 2 position is either Jordan or Kobe, but the magician chosen by Curry is still the point guard, of course, it can also be said to be an organization forward. In this way, one choice occupies Kobe and James at the same time, because James is actually an organization forward, which can occupy 3 or 4 positions.
Secondly, according to the characteristics of today’s basketball trend, No. 4 must be able to shoot. Notian King is one of the 10 big breakups in history, tall and tall, and is undoubtedly a good candidate for opening up space. But in this way, James must have no place.
In fact, I have always hated word games like “the strongest in history” and “historical ranking”. I know that this is just a trick used by the media to attract attention, so I never participate in it. This time, the one who asked Curry to pick people was “Sports illustrated”, and Curry was also a man of temperament, which was completed with cooperation. He didn’t take the regular road and didn’t choose James and Kobe. He was in the mood of Sports Illustrated, because the greater the controversy, the higher the traffic.
Jordan is recognized as the originator of NBA modern basketball. He not only has high achievements on the court, but also has established the NBA business model. He will not have any objection to any candidate. But Kobe and James are different, because there are more and more stars, and those who are satisfied will be dissatisfied.
In fact, from Jordan to Kobe to James to Curry, it is a torch inheritance relationship. Even Jordan, before him, there were the earliest commercial star magicians and big birds, they are the ancestors of business endorsement.
On the court, with the development of history and the change of style, each generation has different understanding of basketball position. Curry never stopped running on the court, so he would choose the magician to pass the ball for him and let King nootian open the space. O’Neal turned over under the basket. In this way, his lineup is also very reasonable. You ask the fans to pick “the strongest five in history”, which is also varied. From their choices, we can see everyone’s experience, age and preferences of watching the ball.
I believe that the strongest in the history of your heart will have different answers, and you will not agree with other people’s choices, because the time and background of watching the ball are different, and the strongest people in your heart are also different.
If you want me to choose, I will have a small lineup: Paul, Curry, Kobe, James, Davis. What do you think is the strongest in this history?
