The summer in Alexander is too dreamy

Are there any more successful players this summer than Alexander?

I still remember that last year this sentence was tied to Tatum. Last summer, Tatum won the championship, earning a super maximum salary of US$314 million in five years, becoming the cover character of 2K games, and winning the Olympic gold medal. Win everything an NBA player can win, except for FMVP, of course.

This summer, Alexander became the biggest winner in the entire NBA. He also won the scoring champion, Western Conference Finals MVP, Championship trophy and Finals MVP of last season. Because of the existence of the MVP of the Western Conference Finals, Alexander is the only player in history to receive these four honors at the same time.

Being natural, Thunder offered Alexander the largest contract that he could offer, a super maximum salary of US$285 million in four years. After completing the renewal, Alexander's total contract will reach $364 million in six years and his final year's salary will reach $79 million, the largest contract in the new NBA history.

At the last game of the finals, at the award ceremony, Alexander also hung a special champion golden signature shoes around his neck. This year he finally welcomed his first generation of signature shoes. According to his status, this pair of signature shoes came a bit late.

Today, Alexander has officially become the cover character of 2K games. Seeing your figure appear on the cover of the box of the 2K physical version is believed to be the dream of every child who likes to play basketball games.

Alexander took only one summer to walk the path that many super giants could not finish. After winning the championship, Alexander also said confidently in the interview: "I am the best player in the world now." Although there has been no shortage of controversy around Alexander along the way, no one can refute this sentence yet.

For data, Alexander averaged 32.7 points per game; his shooting percentage was 51.9% and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%. Alexander's three-pointer has always been his weakness before, but he also made three-pointers this year, so he has almost no place to be targeted on the court.

A real challenge he encountered in the playoffs was forced into a desperate situation by the Nuggets and Jokic, but he responded with a smile, believing that he could advance, and he did.

The value of honor is that Alexander has eliminated the great devil Jokic, the new generation's first man Edwards, and the biggest dark horse Pacers throughout the season. He scored a total of 3172 points throughout the season, and was the player with the most points in a single season since Jordan (3207 points) in 1993. During the finals, Alexander averaged 30.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. In the finals tiebreak, Alexander scored 29 points and sent an incredible 12 assists, which was the highest number of assists in a single game throughout the season. The sounds of saying he couldn't pass the ball also disappeared. How many people could give out 12 assists in the finals?

Of course, what you cannot ignore is the fans' doubts about his free throws. His foul skills are indeed at the pinnacle, but many people also say that he has received a lot of attention from the referee. But in my opinion, everything is still within acceptable limits.

NBA referees are also human beings, and they cannot achieve 100% fairness in machines. The referee's personal preferences will also affect the game. The most valuable quality of Alexander is calmness, and he can maintain a calm mind under any circumstances.

Even after the finals, Alexander was still as deep as water. When his teammates began to celebrate, he finally smiled. Alexander almost never complained on the court, and he accepted the referee's call 100% if he got a whistle or not. Think from the perspective of others, if you were the referee, would you like Alexanderian silence or Doncic whining?

If you remember correctly, Alexander has ranked first in the league for several consecutive seasons. This season he averaged 23.3 breakthroughs per game. If he broke through more, the number of free throws will naturally increase.

Saying so much is not to "scrub" Alexander, but to say that this person is indeed strong, so strong that you can ignore the doubts on him. Even without free throws, Alexander is still the top player, and you can't deny that.

Alexander has now become a villain in the league. Looking back on history, you will find that almost all the top stars will naturally become the biggest villains. Even Jokic has many people questioned his small moves. If you don't like him, then you'll beat him on the court, that's that simple.

Alexander climbed up step by step from the end of the year. When he was in the first year of high school, he was not even selected for the school team. Although he entered Kentucky after graduating from high school, he was the one with the lowest ranking in high school among the seven people in that class.

He started as a substitute in college, was selected by the Clippers, and also started as a substitute, but he eventually became the starter and leader. George's deal changed Alexander's life trajectory. The first moment he came to Thunder was trained as the core. Alexander gave Thunder countless times the reward, and he himself reached the top of the league.

Alexander said: "It's quite good to be regarded as an enemy of the whole league, but my goal is to use my strength to shut up the doubters." If a champion is not enough, then get more.
