James ranks second! US media commented on the top 50 NBA superstars: Harden lost to Curry, 9, Kobe 10, Durant 15

James ranks second! With the finals tiebreak coming to an end and another season is coming to an end soon, the US media Bleacherreport also selected the top 50 NBA historical superstars based on the latest achievements, including Harden, Curry rose to 9th, Kobe ranked 10th, and Durant ranked 15th.

Fifth place: Bird

Honors: 3 championships, 2 FMVPs, 3 MVPs

Data: 99 wins and 65 losses in the playoffs, averaging 23.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, plus or negative value + 6.9

Bird is the most amazing all-round offensive player before Jokic emerged, especially in shooting. He completed three consecutive MVP feats during the regular season and led the team to win the championship three times in the playoffs.

In addition to his comprehensive skills, his competitive awareness is comparable to Jordan and Kobe. He is a real stadium brain and leader.

Off-court Bird and Magic's "Black and White Duel" pushes the NBA to a new peak and has also become one of the most important cultural symbols in NBA history.

4th place: Magicians

Honors: 5 championships, 3 FMVPs, 3 MVPs

Data: 128 wins and 62 losses in the playoffs, averaging 19.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game, plus or negative value + 7.6

The most admirable and amazing thing about the Magician is that he has historical scoring ability, and is fully capable of scoring 30 points and 40 points in a single game, but he always puts the pass first.

It is this way of playing that allows the Lakers to create a iconic era in NBA history, "Showtime".

If it weren't for the disease, the Magician would have a chance to reach a higher position. Even if he failed to enter the top three, the Magician would still beat his old opponent Bird with more championships to rank fourth.

Third place: O'Neal

Honors: 4 championships, 3 FMVPs, 1 MVP

Data: 129 wins and 87 losses in the playoffs, averaging 24.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, plus or negative value +5.5

Compared with Bird and the Magic, O'Neal ranked third, it is obviously controversial because he has a great disadvantage in the three hard indicators of championship, FMVP and MVP.

The reason why the US media ranked him third is mainly because they valued the blessing of the three consecutive championships and the three consecutive FMVPs. O'Neal showed a historical gap in the game during this period, forcing his opponent to adopt the "shark-cutting tactic."

Second place: James

Honors: 4 championships, 4FMVP, 4MVP

Data: 184 wins and 108 losses in the playoffs, averaging 28.4 points, 9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block, plus or negative value +10

As the "longest river" in NBA history, James has a long career and has also created a series of historical first records, and has also achieved the feat of leading three different teams to win the championship.

However, from the three hard honors of champion, FMVP and MVP, as well as career perfection and global influence, James still cannot reach the GOAT position for the time being.

The good news is that James's career continues, and in theory he still has the opportunity to continue to compete for more championships and FMVP.

No. 1: Jordan

Honors: 6 championships, 6FMVP, 5MVP

Data: 119 wins and 60 losses in the playoffs, averaging 33.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, plus or negative value +11.1

No doubt, GOAT's position still belongs to Jordan. Even though James led three different teams to win the championship and created 40,000 feats, Jordan is still the "highest mountain" in NBA history that is unshakable.

Whether it is from three hard honors, the legendary nature of two consecutive championships, and even the dominance of reaching the finals and winning the championship in the playoffs, Jordan perfectly meets the definition of the first person in history by universal values.

Even in off-court business, Jordan is also a pioneer among NBA players, and there is no need to say much about global influence.

The rest are ranked as follows:

6-10: Jabbar, Duncan, Bill Russell, Curry and Kobe;

11-20: Chamberlain, West, Big Dream, Jokic, Durant, Dirk, Little Ka, Letters, Isaiah Thomas and Wade;

21-30: Moses Malone, Admiral, Garnett, Havrichek, Fraser, Big O, Davis, Barkley, Julius Irving and George McCann;

31-40: Rick Barry, Pippen, Dream Chasing, Paul, Butler, Stockton, Karl Malone, McHale, Elgin Baylor and Manu;

41-50: Billups, Petit, Doncic, Tatum, Reggie Miller, Iverson, Drexler, Westbrook, Hardaway and Bill Walton.
