11:17am, 1 October 2025Basketball

On October 1, I wish you a happy National Day. During the holiday, you can spend more time with your family. It’s good to go out for a trip. The important thing is to be happy. Warriors fans should be very happy today because Kumingga and Horford both signed a contract, but Kumingga is more likely to be a substitute. After all, Butler is in the team’s small forward position. Speaking of small forwards, the US media recently divided the historical small forwards according to the viewing performance of the play. Let’s see if it’s reasonable? There are two in the sixth tier: Paul Alikin and Elliott. Paul Alikin is a Warriors legend. The era was too long and the players did not have much development for jump shots. Alikin was a pioneer of jump shots, so he was on the list. The Warriors like shooters. It can be said that they have been passed down since Alikin's era. Elliott plays in 3D and is a Spurs celebrity. To be honest, it is indeed surprising that his appearance is not as good as Kumingga.

The fifth level

There are Chris Mullin, Peja, Schlumpf, Aguirre and Hagen. There are many shooters in this level. Although many fans prefer small forwards with violent playing styles, the shooter is outstanding enough to get the attention and support of many fans, such as Curry and Harden. Mullin is nicknamed God's Left Hand, and he is also one of the main characters in the Warriors' Shooter heritage. Peja and Schlumpf are also like this. If the three of them were born in this small ball era, they might have been even better.

Aguire's style of play is still relatively violent, good at low-post offense and inside killing. Although three-pointers are not good, relying on stable mid-range and inside killing, he averaged 20+ per game for many years at his peak. His rebounding ability is also very good, and his playing style is tough, and he is a typical tough guy player. Hagen is also very tough. His defensive ability is excellent and he has good big heart attributes. The key ball ability is one of the main reasons why fans like it.

The fourth tier

The fourth tier includes Pippen, Inglish, Dantley, James Worthy, Glen Leice, Marion and Tatum. Pippen is one of the best small forwards in history with the best athletic ability. He is both offensive and defensive, and often performs violent frame abuse, and has excellent passing ability, which has also gained a lot of fans. Although James Worthy is old, his playing style is very rational and has an ornamental sense. These two have also become the top ten small forwards in history with their outstanding performance.

English's style of play is very ornamental in history. To be honest, I think he is low in this level. He turns and jump shots, rides and shoots with horses and archers, and his straight arm shots are all very elegant. Dantley is a low-post offensive master, and his back-to-body skills are unsolvable. He has won the scoring champion. Although Marion's shooting is ugly, his dunk ability is excellent. Tatum is one of the most comprehensive players in active service and the successor of Mamba. In the third tier, there are Leonard, George, Grant Hill, Pierce, Bernard King and Butler. Leonard is one of the best players in active service offense and defense. He has a nickname called the Card Frame Version of Jordan. His mid-range shooting ability is excellent. Although he is not as elegant as Jordan's playing style, it has also attracted many fans and fans. Although George suffered a serious injury, his playing style is indeed very silky, so there is no problem entering this level.

Hill's style of play is very elegant. Although the Magic No. 1 did not have a good career result, they are all very attractive to fans. If Hill was not injured, his upper limit would definitely be worth looking forward to. Although Pierce's style of play seems to be very slow, his mid-range skills are very comprehensive. Bernard King is also a top scorer. Butler, the king of New York back then, was also recognized for his toughness and team-leading ability. There are 4 people in the second tier: Durant, Anthony, Elgin Baylor and Hawkins. As one of the best offensive talents in history, it is reasonable for Durant to enter this level. After all, Durant has too many offensive skills packages, and a dunk that changed direction significantly was also very shocking. Although Elgin Baylor was a player in the 1960s, he relied on his aggressive playing style to make people familiar.

As one of the rare offensive kaleidoscopes in the history of the league, Anthony's shooting posture is very ecstatic, and his back-to-body skills are also top-notch. When he was young, he often performed double-hand dunks. Hawkins's era is too long. A master who knows it will help me tell you, I have never watched his video.

The first level

There are also four people in this level, including James, Bird, Dr. J, Irving and the essence of human movies. Everyone has probably seen James playing basketball when he was young. He is unstoppable when he rushed, and he also has a fancy pass. Bird and Doncic play very similarly, have their own rhythm, and their shooting ability is top-notch. Dr. J and the best of human movies are both top dunks and representatives of aerial operations.
