US media rated the six most influential stars in NBA history: Iverson is on the list, and Curry ranks second!

In the NBA, in addition to looking at his honor, his data accumulation and influence are also key. Some players may not have won the championship, but with their outstanding influence, their historical status is also very high. For example, Karl Malone, who has no championship, but because he sniped Jordan in the 1990s, he was considered the top 20 stars in history. Speaking of this, the US media previously selected the six most influential players in NBA history. Let’s take a look together?

Sixth Iverson

Iverson is regarded as a belief by many fans. He has changed everyone's stereotypes about small players. It can be said that before Iverson, most of the small backcourts were the point guards, and they did not have much offensive tactical status on the offensive end. However, Iverson used his own strength to make people change this idea. He once won the scoring champion with his unsolvable personal offense.

Iverson made more small players dare to come on the court to prove himself, and it also changed the view of league coaches. Many small players have gained more offensive tactical status. It can be said that the arrival of the small ball era is also inseparable from Iverson. Iverson not only has an impact on the players, but he also made many small fans who like basketball dare to come on the court to show themselves.

The Fifth Magician

The Magician was considered to have the opportunity to become the number one person in NBA history before Jordan. However, due to AIDS, he retired early after only 13 years of playing. The Magician has attracted more fans to pay attention to the NBA. He relied on fancy passes to create the Showtime era. The Lakers were gorgeous in those days and their offensive dominance was very unsolvable, so the name of the Magician came.

The main reason why Magicians gained more recognition and attention was that TV broadcasts had just begun, and he led to the popularity of TV broadcasts in the NBA, but it was more in the United States at that time. In fact, if Magicians could be selected, Bird should have been selected. After all, it was the two of them who led the entire 1980s. Magicians made more players like the role of point guard.

Fourth Kobe

Bobby was known as a fan 60E back then. After Jordan retired, the attention of the NBA dropped seriously. In the 2000s, Kobe relied on his style of play and comprehensive skills similar to Jordan, and he received attention. Kobe did not have Jordan's talent. He relied on his own efforts to reach the height of discussion with Jordan, and his efforts have also become a model for many fans and players to follow.

His Mamba spirit can infect many people, and Kobe's personal heroism has also made him highly praised by many media and fans. The reason why Kobe was able to become the top ten in history when his personal honors are not enough is that he ranks at this height because of his personal ability and influence. No player in the NBA questioned Kobe's ability, and his desire to win is even more top-notch.

Third James

James was regarded as Jordan's successor as soon as he entered the league. He was called the pride of heaven, and James did not disappoint David Stern and the league. James relied on his outstanding personal ability to lead the Cavaliers to quickly become a top team. James also gained more attention with his outstanding performance. Although the grouping made him questioned, he used his outstanding personal performance to dispel negative voices from the outside world.

James has now entered the discussion of Goat. James may not be as good as Jordan in offensive ability, but he has opened an era of players being versatile. Now many players are following him. James is a perfect idol. He has no off-court scandals and has been doing charity. In this era of extremely high media exposure, I don’t know whether Jordan and Kobe can be so perfect.

Second Curry has no less influence than James. He has made great changes to the basketball era. In the past, the leagues were centers and positions, but Curry made small players the team's offensive core. Many centers even lost their jobs for this, and some centers were forced to transform and start shooting three-pointers. Curry made the players' offensive methods more comprehensive, and he gave some players with ordinary talents the opportunity to become stars.

In this league, as long as you practice three-pointers hard, you can get a contract. Curry has changed his career and has also influenced the way many fans play. Now, playing jungle ball, more and more three-pointers are shooting. When we were young, everyone was pulling and jumping. Curry is an epoch-making player, and he made the Warriors the largest football market in the league.

The first Jordan

Jordan ranked first without any doubt. After all, he promoted basketball to the whole world. With the current globalization of basketball, there would be no current basketball prosperity without Jordan. Jordan made many fans fall in love with basketball. At the same time, he also made everyone realize that James, Kobe and Curry can get so much attention, which is inseparable from the foundation Jordan has laid before. Although the times chose him, only a player like him can do so perfect.
