Zhan Duku teamed up: Who has the strength to convince the other two to join? The 3 super giants charm competition

In NBA history, the joint efforts of superstars can always trigger endless imagination. If LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant play in the same team, who will take the initiative to recruit two other people? Who would be willing to be a "lobbyist"? Behind this question is the competition between three super giants, completely different leaders' styles, status and personal charm. This article will analyze from the perspectives of the three people's personality, historical status, social ability, etc. to see who is most likely to become the "grouper".

1. LeBron James: a natural leader, the league's number one "agent"

Persuasion Index: ★★★★★

James is undoubtedly the star who is best at "grouping" among the three. From the Heat Big Three to the Cavaliers 2.0, to the Lakers' recruitment of Davis, his career is almost a "superstar collaboration textbook".

Jianghu Status: As the most accomplished player (4 championships + 4FMVP + historical scoring champion), James has a natural appeal to Durant and Curry.

Social ability: James is recognized as the "king of connections" in the league. He has a close personal relationship with Durant and has worked closely with Curry in the national team. He even publicly praised him for "wanting to play with Curry."

Real case: Before Durant joined the Warriors in 2016, James tried to recruit him; in the 2022 All-Star Game, James chose Curry as the first team without hesitation.

Key Point: James is well aware of the essence of "brother basketball". If he takes the initiative, he will likely be able to convince the two of them - especially Durant.

2. Stephen Curry: The low-key king, using "happy basketball" to attract teammates

Persuasion Index: ★★★☆

Curry seems gentle, but the Warriors' team culture proves his leadership charm. His persuasion method is more inclined to "use softness to overcome hardness".

Team Advantages: The Warriors system can maximize Durant's efficiency (verified in 2017-2019), and can also reduce organizational pressure for James.

Personality Charm: Curry's selfless style and joyful team atmosphere have a unique attraction to superstars who are eager to win the championship. Durant once admitted: "Playing at the Warriors is the easiest."

Potential obstacle: James may be reluctant to accept the role of "non-absolute core", and Curry lacks the aggressiveness of active recruitment in his personality.

Key point: Curry does not need to take the initiative to lobby, he only needs to show the Warriors' winning culture, Durant may "turn back", and James needs to weigh his position.

3. Kevin Durant: Top killer, but not "the grouper"

Persuasion Index: ★★★☆☆

Durant's strength is unquestionable, but his personality determines that he is more likely to be "persuaded" than to actively recruit.

Historical Choice: Durant's two major transfers (Warriors, Suns) were both joined in the mature system rather than forming a new team.

Social shortcomings: He has been repeatedly controversial due to the "small trumpet incident" and sensitive personality, which is in contrast to the widespread popularity of James and Curry.

Advantage scenario: If Durant wins over the two with the "Avenger" attitude (such as after being traded by Thunder), it may inspire short-term cooperation, but it is difficult to maintain it in the long run.

Key Point: Durant is better at attracting teammates with his stadium performance than off-court negotiations.

Ultimate conclusion: James>Curry>Durant

James is most likely to succeed: his status, resource integration ability and "business acumen" are unmatched, and he can even design complementary roles for Curry and Durant.

Curry wins by the system: If James does not participate, Curry + Durant 2.0 version will still be competitive, but it needs to be promoted by management.

Durant needs to rely on external forces: unless Durant takes the initiative to put down his posture, he is more likely to become the "recruitment target".

Funny ideas: If the three of them are really in the same team, James probably talks about the "business empire" with a contract, Curry smiled and handed over the three-point training plan, and Durant silently liked Twitter - this picture is so beautiful!

Conclusion

NBA's superstar cooperation has never been just a basketball issue, but also a game of power, personality and ambition. If James, Curry and Durant are in the same team, they may become the most gorgeous "Avengers" in history, but who will be "Captain America"? The answer has long been written in the careers of the three.
