US media once divided the 75 major stars: Harden is only in the sixth gear, Durant Curry is three gears, one gear, one player

Speaking of the NBA, we have to mention their historical stars. Many media often like to rank the top ten players in history. James has entered this list among active players, and Curry and Durant will also have the opportunity to enter the list in the future. Speaking of this, they selected 75 major stars in the previous NBA 75th anniversary. Recently I saw a post that the US media actually divided the 75 major stars. Let’s take a look at whether this division is reasonable?

The seventh grade

There are: Davis, McHale, George Gervin, Anthony, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Unseld, Robert Parish, Walter Fraser, Lillard, Paul Alikin, Sam Jones, Bill Walton, Goodridge, Nate Thurmond, etc. This category is called an elite player. If it were put into history, it would probably be the top star in the league in any era. However, among the 75ths, they are the elite level. Lillard was the most controversial in the list, after all, Howard did not enter.

The sixth tier

The tiers include: Ewing, Old Cannon, Gideon, Payton, Harden, Glider, Rick Barry, Human Film Essence, Bob Cusey, George McCann, Cobra Worthy, Westbrook, Pierce, Rodman, Bob McCardou, etc. This level is considered to be a star-level existence, or like the seventh level, it is ranked in this level based on their strength among the top 75. Westbrook, Harden and Paul are also selected for the active backcourt. I think this level can be called the top 50 in history. They may not have many honors, but their personal abilities are no problem.

The fifth tier

The fifth tier includes: Iverson, Havlicek, Pippen, Smiling Assassin, Leonard, Bob Pettit, Stockton, Nash and Elvin Hayes. This tier is called a superstar. That is, there are more players in the sixth and seventh grades, and the more they go up, the fewer the more they go up. This is the most successful player in their era. To be honest, if Leonard was not injured, he might have entered the top 20 in history. His offense and defense ability is too strong. To be honest, Nash entered this stage, which is quite surprising. Although he has two regular season MVPs, Elvin Hayes personally thinks it is also high. In this fourth tier, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Wade, Dr. J, King No, General, Garnett, Elgin Baylor, Barkley and Antetokounmpo. When choosing the 75th National Congress, Jokic had not yet risen, otherwise I think he could enter this category. This category is called a knight, and the knights here can be understood as the knight class of medieval Europe. They are all in the top twenty levels in history, Wade has the third spot guard in history, although he has no MVP in his career. But this does not hinder everyone's recognition of him. It is very successful for Barkley to enter this level, and the letters have also been recognized as due. The third tier

The third tier includes Duncan, Durant, Curry, Bird, Bill Russell, Chamberlain, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Jerry West and Big O, which is called a legend. To be honest, if you consider honors, Duncan and Russell are definitely underestimated. They are among the top five levels of history. One is because they are too old and have not been recognized. The other is because they are too low-key and have not been taken seriously. Durant and Curry have received due recognition. After all, they are two of the three most influential players in the current service, and their honor and influence are enough.

The second level

There are James, Jabbar, Kobe and the Magician. This level is called the King level. Generally speaking, this is at the top, but there is another level above. It is indeed a bit surprising for Kobe to enter the second level, but considering his influence, it is understandable that he enters the second level. This level can be said to be the top five in history, all of which have a great influence and have dominated the league at its peak. James is the player with the highest status in history and the closest to Jordan in his current service. He is also the leader in total score in history, so there is no big problem in entering this level. There is only one person in the first tier. When Jordan appeared on the 75th stage, everyone was around and Jordan stood in the middle. This shows the official recognition of him by the NBA. This is called Goat. Jordan used his outstanding performance to help the NBA become one of the world's sports events. Jordan still has many records that latecomers cannot reach: averaging 30.12 points per game in the regular season, averaging 33.4 points per game in the playoffs, a 10-time scoring champion, 6 finals MVPs, and 63 points in a single game in the playoffs. These records can break an estimate and leave a name in NBA history.

In the next 100 years of the NBA, it is estimated that players such as Doncic, Jokic, and Alexander can also be on the list. But I don’t know if Curry and Durant can be upgraded to another level. Having said that, what do you want to say about this division? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
