Honor and status, having said that, today the US media selected the top ten strongest players in history. Is it reasonable to take a look?
No. 10 pick Paul Pierce
Pierce was the 10th pick in the first round of 1998. There are two players from 1998 on this list. It can be said that 1998 was also an underrated draft year. Pierce He is a historical level offensive kaleidoscope. Although he is not fast, he is rich in skills and strength. He averaged 26 points per game in his peak season. He led the Celtics to the Finals in 2008 and personally won the FMVP trophy. , and he is also the 17th highest scorer in history.
The ninth overall pick, King Nowitzki
King Nowitzki was also drafted in 1998. The Mavericks picked him out with his sharp eyes and skills, and Nelson carefully trained him, eventually making King Nowitzki the most powerful offensive player in history. As one of the forwards, he relied on himself to support an offensive system and completed the single-core championship in 2011. King Nuo has 1 regular season MVP and 1 finals MVP, and his career total score ranks sixth in history. , very outstanding.
Parrish, the eighth pick
Robert Parrish is nicknamed the Chief, one of the best labor model players in history. Because he was dedicated enough, Bird won three consecutive championships, and he is still there In the last year of his career, he played for the Bulls and won a championship with Jordan. Parish is the player with the most appearances in history, reaching 1,611 games. He is a proper Iron Man. He has also been selected 9 times due to his outstanding performance. All-Star, tenth in history in total career blocks.
Curry, the seventh overall pick

When he retires in his career, he may be able to enter the top ten in history. among.
Bird, the sixth overall pick
If the Cardinals had not seized the loophole in the rules and selected Bird who did not participate in the draft a year in advance, otherwise the Celtics would not have been able to win Bird with the No. 6 pick. Bird Relying on his outstanding performance, he also became the second player in Celtics history, and Bird helped the team win three championships. In addition, he is also the second small forward in history. He has 3 regular season MVPs and 2 Finals MVPs, top ten in history.
fifth pick Wade
In the opinion of many American media, the strongest No. 5 pick in history is Garnett. This time the American media gave Wade, although Wade's cumulative data is not as good as Garnett. It looks good, but Wade has a very valuable FMVP. In the 2006 Finals, he had the best efficiency value in the history of the Finals at 33.4. Wade also helped the team win 3 championships, while Garnett only One championship, so looking at Wadeâs inclusion on the list, there isnât much of a problem.
Fourth pick Westbrook
Many American media also like to give the strongest fourth pick to Paul, but in comparison, Westbrook is not bad, although he does not have the total assists and steals in Paul's career. There are more, but Westbrook has won the regular season MVP after all, and Westbrook also has two assists. Westbrook is still the player with the most triple-doubles in history, although he may be replaced by Jokic and Doncic in the future. It's strange that these new stars have surpassed him, but for now, he is still the player with the most triple-doubles in history.
The third pick Jordan
There is not much suspense about this. There are many top picks in history, but no one can shake Jordan's position. Jordan is the first person in history. He is the first player in the regular season. He has 5 MVPs and 10 scoring champions. In the playoffs, he has a record of 63 points in a single game and 6 FMVP trophies. He has also promoted basketball to the world, and his influence is unprecedented. I'm afraid there will be no one coming.
Second pick Russell
Although super scorers such as Durant and Jerry West have left a strong mark in history, the real winner among the second picks is definitely Bill Russell is the player with the most championships in history, winning 11 championships in total. You must know that his career only lasted 13 years, and he also won 5 regular season MVPs, that is, he There was no FMVP selection in the era, otherwise he would have been able to win such an honor.
No. 1 pick James
Most of the top stars in history have been in this position, such as the familiar Duncan, Magic, O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Olajuwon. But it is James who has the most honors. He has relied on his outstanding performance to become the second player in history. He has 4 regular season MVPs and 4 finals MVPs. He is also the all-time regular season scoring champion and playoff champion. The scoring champion will most likely score 40,000 points in the future.
