The American media often selects the top ten players in history in their minds. Generally speaking, the top ten in history are: Jordan, James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Bill Russell, Chamberlain, Bird, Duncan, Kobe and O'Neal. Although the rankings sometimes change, there is a high probability that they are these few. However, recently, O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were not selected among the top ten in history. Let's take a look at this list. Is it reasonable?

The 10th Doctor J

After entering the NBA, Dr. J Irving, to be honest, did not receive enough recognition. He was the number one player in the league during the ABA period and won 3 MVPs and 2 FMVPs. After entering the NBA, he won a championship and a regular season MVP, and led the 76ers to the conference finals many times. He was the first player in history to play in the air and was also the template for Jordan. In the 1970s, he was the second player in the league, second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Ninth Duncan

It is not surprising that Duncan can enter this list. After all, Duncan is the number one power forward in history. He led the team to the playoffs for 19 consecutive years and won 5 championships. He brought the small ball market of San Antonio to Having reached the heights of the Holy City, Duncan is one of the best offensive and defensive players in history. He has been selected to the All-NBA Team 15 times and the All-Defensive Team 15 times in his career. However, because he is not respected by the media, he has won few major honors, including 2 regular season MVPs and 3 Finals MVPs.

Eighth Olajuwon

Olajuwon is considered by many media to be a goalkeeper outside the top ten in history. He has the ability to be in the top ten in history, but he was not selected because of insufficient honor. In fact, Olajuwon's honor The gold content is extremely high, especially his two championships. He did not have an All-Star teammate of the same year with him during both championships, and once he led the sixth team in the Western Conference to win the championship. Olajuwon was also the history's shot block leader and the best offensive and defensive center player in history.

Seventh Larry Bird

Bird is considered the second small forward in history. Bird was the most comprehensive player in the league at his peak. He won the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. He was the only player in history after the 1980s. Neither Jordan nor James did it. When Bird was at his peak, many fans thought he was stronger than Magic. However, because he only had 3 championships, his historical status ranked behind Magic. Bird was still a top shooter.

The Sixth Chamberlain

Although Chamberlain is questioned by some fans as a data brush, to be honest, some players can't brush him even if they want to brush him. Chamberlain may be the most talented player in history, a big midfielder. The forward has the running and jumping ability of a professional track and field athlete, and with his height of 2.16 meters, he is simply out of position for anyone. Because of such outstanding talent, Chamberlain can achieve the terrifying performance of 100 points in a single game and 70+ points in a single game. He is also the rebounding leader in history.

Fifth Bill Russell

Russell suppressed Chamberlain in his era, so it is reasonable for him to be ranked ahead of the coach. Russell's talent may not be as good as the coach, but his leadership temperament is better. A player can lead the team to win 8 consecutive championships, and lead the team to win 11 championships in 2013. How much cohesion is required? Russell led the team to do it. In his era, there was no FMVP selection, otherwise he would have won more of this honor than Jordan.

The fourth Magician

Magic is the number one point guard in history. No matter who ranks him, Magic will probably not fall out of the top five. After all, this man is too legendary. He is the youngest FMVP winner in history and ranks No. 1 in his career. He led the team to win the championship in one year. In the 13 years of his career, he led the team to the finals 9 times and won the championship 5 times. If it were not for AIDS, he might have won more honors. Magic can be regarded as a version of James with weakened offensive capabilities and enhanced organization.

Third James

Lao James is ranked third. It is estimated that many fans are already very interested in the top two. James is the all-time scoring leader in history, and he is also the most versatile fighter in history. He is truly reliable. As a player who can play from 1 to 5 and defend from 1 to 5, and who is good at both offense and defense, James has a very high golf IQ and is self-disciplined enough to stay at the top. Although this decision 2 disgusts many fans, his honor can indeed put him in the top three in history.

Second Kobe

Ever since O'Neal and Kobe reconciled, O'Neal has been a loyal fan of Kobe. Although Kobe does not have many personal honors, no one will question his ability. Although the media does not speak highly of him, the players respect him very much. Only players understand the strength of players best. Kobe can shoot from any position. It is difficult to guard against him. 81 points in a single game shows how strong his scoring ability is.

No. 1 Jordan

There is probably not much controversy about Jordan ranking first. After all, Jordan promoted the NBA to the world, and his contemporaries are still active in the media. Their support for Jordan Protect, everyone can see it. Maybe many years in the future, everyone will forget Jordan's terror, and his position as the number one player may be shaken, but now Lao James is obviously dead. Having said that, what do you want to say about O'Neal's ranking of the top ten in history? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
