McGrady s top five singles champions in NBA history: Kobe Jordan is on the list, and two active players are on the list

In the NBA, singles have always been a very reliable scoring method in the game. After all, the team's tactics are not always available. At this time, singles need to solve the problem, and singles ability is also an important criterion for measuring whether a player is a superstar. Recently, McGrady talked about the topic of the top five singles kings in NBA history in a show. The host said that McGrady is one of the excellent singles scorers in the NBA, so his insights are extremely authoritative. So let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Harden has averaged 24.1 points per game so far in his career, and has won three consecutive scoring champions in 2018-20. Among them, he averaged 36.1 points per game in the 18-19 season, which is the highest average score in the NBA season this century. That season, he also achieved the first 60+ triple-double in NBA history, and even had a 30+ feat in 32 consecutive games. At his peak, Harden was unsolvable on the offensive end, and he could do it to the extreme whether it was singles or assisting his teammates.

During the Rockets period, he was also a nightmare for many teams in the league. His singles outside the three-point line changed a lot. You can't guess whether he wants to shoot three-pointers or break through. After all, his three-pointer retreat was very high at the time, and the breakthrough was also very fast. It was difficult for the opponent to understand what he was going to do. However, Harden's biggest regret was that he did not win the championship in 2018. He lacked a championship to prove himself when he won the MVP that year. But overall, Harden's singles ability can be regarded as a historical level.

4: Durant

Durant is an NBA historical scorer. His total career score exceeds 30,000 points. He has averaged 27.2 points per game so far in his career, and has won the scoring champion in a total of four times. His singles ability on the court is also visible to the naked eye. Those who are taller than him are faster than him, those who are taller than him are taller than him, players who are taller than him are shooting correctly, and Adu also has unsolvable double change directions. His singles skills can be said to be one of the best in the league.

The main reason is that the opponent has no idea what method Durant will use to complete the end. After all, he has historically-level central shot ability, which will also make defensive players very afraid. But once the defender is close to him, Durant can use his speed to break into the inside, and his scoring methods are also elusive for the opponent, so there is no problem calling him the singles king. The two FMVPs in the Warriors were the best proof.

3: Anthony

Anthony is called "offensive kaleidoscope" by many fans. He has a lot of scoring methods on the court. As a small forward, Anthony's body has basically no opponents among the players in the same position. His tentative steps were also imitated by many players later, but most of them have no effect. The main thing is to test Busan that you have very strong shooting ability, otherwise you will not be able to threaten the defensive players at all, and the opponent will take a step to defend your breakthrough.

Anthony's total career score exceeded 25,000 points, and he won the scoring champion at one time. He is also a historical scorer, but Anthony's performance at the end of his career was not very good, so he averaged only 22.5 points per game, and later he retired.

2: Kobe

As a scorer at the NBA's historical level, Kobe is ranked second not because he is not strong enough, but because he has the first choice. Kobe averaged 25 points per game in his career and scored twice, with a total of more than 30,000 points in his career. Among them, Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game in the 2005-06 season, second only to Harden. That year he also achieved 81 points in a single game and 62 points in 3 quarters. 81 points is also the highest score in modern basketball, and no one has been able to break it yet.

Kobe's ability in singles is obvious to all fans. His scoring skills can be said to be historical, especially a fallback jumper. This move is extremely efficient when facing tough defense, so many of the Lakers' attacking balls are left to Kobe for execution. Relying on his unsolvable scoring ability, Kobe won the championship in a total of five times, and is a true superstar.

1: Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game in his career and scored 10 times in 15 seasons. This is also one of the most difficult records to break in NBA history, even Durant only has four times. In addition, Jordan averaged 33.4 points per game in the playoffs, ranking first in NBA history. He can maintain a very stable performance no matter what intensity of the game.

, and Jordan is also a representative player in the league with offense and defense. As the first player in the NBA to win MVP and DPOY in a single season, his personal ability is undisputed, not to mention that he won the championship six times and won the FMVP six times. He is worthy of being the best player in NBA history.
