Curry ranked 5th! US media commented on the top 15 super giants after 2000: Durant 6 Kobe 4 O Neal 2nd

Warriors Core Curry ranked fifth! As the finals of this season are about to start, the US media "bleacherreport" selected the top 15 superstars who performed best in the finals after 2000 and achieved the greatest achievements. Among them, Durant ranked 6th, Kobe ranked 4th, and O'Neal ranked 2nd.

Fifth place: Curry

Achievement: 6 finals + 4 championships + 1 FMVP

Data: Average of 27.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals in 34 games. As the king of the small ball era, Curry led the Warriors to win the championship four times in 8 years, and established his position as the best three-pointer in history with one magical three-pointer after another. There are three main reasons why

failed to get a higher ranking, namely, the reversed 3-1 lead, the instability of offense and defense status caused by the shortcomings, and the number of FMVPs.

Fortunately, Curry won the FMVP when the Warriors won the championship in 22 years, which finally broke the doubts from the outside world and made him enter the top five of the list.

4th place: Kobe

Achievements: 7 Finals + 5 Championships + 2 FMVP

Data: Average of 25.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.9 blocks, compared with Curry, who was fifth in the finals, championships and FMVP, Kobe has the advantage in the three hard honors of the finals, championships and FMVP.

The overall data is not as eye-catching as Curry, mainly because of the limitations of the style of the times. Compared with the current small ball era, Kobe's career is in the slow-paced center era.

failed to get a higher ranking because the top three championships in their career are not the team's bosses, and the overall efficiency is relatively low. However, with the second core championship in the later period of his career, Kobe won the fourth place, and won two FMVPs.

3rd place: Duncan

Achievement: 5 Finals + 4 Championships + 2 FMVP

Data: Average of 19.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.9 blocks, since the list selected achievements after 2000, Duncan's 1999 championship was not included, and even so, he still entered the top three of the list.

As the No. 1 power forward in NBA history, Duncan is also the most solid and low-key superstar in NBA history.

However, because of his overly practical style of play, his achievements and game influence are always underestimated by the outside world, especially as time goes by, stars like Duncan, who have less off-court influence and marketing, are often easily trapped in a passive state of public opinion.

Second place: O'Neal

Achievement: 5 Finals + 4 Championships + 3 FMVP

Data: Average of 28.9 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 26 games, O'Neal is the most dominant center in NBA history. After joining the Lakers, he led the team to win three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, establishing his own dynasty, and winning 3 FMVPs with an absolute advantage. During

, O'Neal was unstoppable in the interior, forcing his opponent to use extreme strategies such as "shark-cutting tactics" to limit him.

If he did not leave the Lakers, O'Neal, who continued to join forces with Kobe, would obviously win more championships and honors, but even if he left the Lakers, O'Neal still quickly won another championship after joining the Heat, which is enough to interpret his terrifying dominance.

No.1: James

Achievement: 10 Finals + 4 Championships + 4 FMVP

Data: Average of 28.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 55 games. If you just look at the number of championships, James is obviously not worthy of the top spot, but he won all the FMVPs in the process of winning the championship and has always been a real boss.

At the same time, James made it to the finals 10 times and was also a fault-leading leader, proving that he is the longest river in history.

More importantly, James handed over exaggerated and comprehensive personal data during the finals, and even gained reputations such as "full strength James" and "playback James" because of his ability to deliver higher performances in the playoffs and finals.

The rest of the list is as follows

6-10: Durant, Wade, Ka Jr., Nowitzki and Pierce;

11-15: Parker, Dream Chasing, Iguodala, Clay and Ray Allen.
