Four years ago, after the Cavaliers reversed 73 wins and won the third championship, James jumped from the lower half of the top ten in history to the edge of the "Presidential Mountain" (the top four in history). At that time, the two major disputes were basically solved-the first small forward dispute between James and Byrd, who had a higher historical position, James or Kobe? This time, after leading the Lakers who have not made the playoffs for six consecutive years, James made another leap. With this laurel, he surpassed Magic Johnson, Russell, the Lord of the Rings and Jabbar, ranking second in history, second only to the great basketball god Michael Jordan. It is obvious to surpass the magician, because the magician only has five championships, three MVPs in the regular season and three MVPs in the finals. The number of major honors has been surpassed by James, which is 9 times in a period of time, while James is 13 times. Here, we have not studied how many "magicians" there are in each of the five games.
The Lord of the Rings is a unique existence. Although he won the championship of 1 1 and led the Celtics to create a super dynasty with eight consecutive championships, his personal ability and honor are very disproportionate-there are five MVPs in the regular season, but only three at a time, which means that in many cases, he is not even the first center in the league. Besides, Russell lived in a different era from now. In the 1960s, there were only eight teams in the NBA, and only three rounds were needed in the playoffs, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the game. Russell's own data, especially offensive, is also "poor"-his career average is only 15 points, his shooting percentage is 44%, and he is often only the team's third or even fourth scorer, so it is difficult to keep the position of the second person in history. In the ranking of NBA historical position given by American media, Jordan, the first, seems to be undisputed. Ranked second after Jordan, James has the highest voice. In addition, epoch-making superstars such as Chamberlain or Kobe Bryant are also eligible for the second place. Can James compete with Jordan in history?
James is currently ranked second in history. Can he surpass Jordan in the future? The answer disappointed the fans. At present, the first player elected by American fans in history is undoubtedly Jordan, but there are some disputes about who is the second. Some fans think it should be Kobe Bryant, some fans think it is Jabbar, but there are still many fans or the media think it is James. James's fans think he is the first player in the history of the league. Maybe everyone's selection criteria are different. Just like fans who like James, they may say that James has more comprehensive skills, higher fighting spirit, better players and team spirit, both on and off the court. Although many fans think James is perfect enough, he will definitely rank second in the league after he retires. Many media also believe that James has the status of the second league in history, but can he compete with Jordan? Even surpass Jordan to sit first in the league? James once said that his dream is not only to compete with his father and son on the same stage, but also to be the first in the league. In other words, James wants to surpass Jordan, which can be seen from his desire for the championship.
