NBA5 Draft Miracle, The Demon of 1999 The Chosen of the God in 2003 The Miracle of 1984

Drafts are the ultimate bet for NBA teams to turn things around. In some years, they mass-produce superstars like cheating, completely changing the league structure.

Fifth place: 1999 draft (representative figures: Ginobili, Brand, Marion)

Ginobili (57th pick in the second round): 4 championships + 2 All-Stars, 142 wins in the playoffs (7th in history)

Elton Brand (No. 10): 20+10 club member of the 2006 MVP vote No. 7

Shawn Marion (9th pick): 4 All-Stars, 2011 Finals locked James

2005 Finals G7, Ginobili scored 23 points and 5 rebounds, and a snake-like breakthrough broke through to the Pistons' iron barrel formation. Brand led the Clippers to the Western Conference Finals in 2006, averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds to beat Nash's Suns. Marion used "octopus defense" to reduce James' shooting percentage in the 2011 Finals to 47.8% (51% in the regular season). This draft has contributed three championship cores, and it is also proven that you can also find treasures at low picks (Ginobili 57th pick). The Spurs laid the foundation for the GDP dynasty through this draft, while Brand allowed the Clippers to end their 15-year history of underdogs.

4th place: 2003 draft (representative figures: James, Wade, Anthony)

James (No. 1 pick): 4 championships + 4MVP + historical scoring champion

Wade (5th pick): 3 championships + 1FMVP, averaged 34.7 points per game in the 2006 finals

Anthony (Tanhua): 9th in the historical scoring list, 10 All-Stars

2006 Finals G3, Wade scored 15 points in the last quarter, completed the steal and kill in overtime; in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals G6, James' Death Eye 45 points and 15 rebounds; in the 2013 playoffs G2, Anthony scored 36 points against the Celtics, and turned around and jumped to the final score in 3 seconds. This class won 7 Olympic gold medals, and James and Anthony have maintained the scoring record of the US men's basketball team. They redefined the swaying style of forward guards and made the "all-round forward" a standard team building.

3rd place: 1996 draft (representative figures: Kobe, Iverson, Nash)

Kobe (13th pick): 5 championships + 2FMVP, 4th in history score: 4 scoring champion, 2001 single core leading the team to the finals

Nash (15th pick): 2 consecutive MVP, 3rd in career assists in history G1 in 2001, Iverson crossed Tyron Lu and scored 48 points; in the 2006 Western Conference Finals G6, Kobe beat the Suns twice; in the 2005 Western Conference Finals G6, Nash used one-eyed (retinal bleeding) to eliminate the Spurs. This class won seven MVP trophys in the 2000s, and Kobe and Iverson's "pointback showdown" saved the league's ratings. Nash's running and bomb system directly gave birth to a modern three-point revolution.

Second place: 1987 draft (representative figures: Pippen, Robinson, Miller)

Pippen (5th pick): 6 championships + 7 All-Stars, 7th in history steals, David Robinson (No. 1 pick): 1MVP + 2 championships, the only four-double center in history

Reggie Miller (11th pick): 2560 three-pointers (1st in history when retired)

In the 1994 regular season, Robinson snatched O'Neal's scoring 71 points in a single game; in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, Miller pushed Jordan to complete the miracle of 8.9 seconds; in the 1992 Finals G6, Pippen collapsed the Blazers with 10 assists in the halftime. This class of players built the three dynasties of the 1990s (Bulls, Spurs, Pacers). Pippen's wing defense, Robinson's mobile center, and Miller's three-pointer tactics became templates for later generations. They have shifted NBA tactics from "superstar singles" to "system basketball".

First place: 1984 draft (representative figures: Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley)

Jordan (Tanhua): 6 championships + 5MVP, the first person in history

Olajuwon (No. 1 pick): 2 championships + historical blocking king

Barkley (5th pick): 1MVP + 11 All-Stars

1993 Finals G4, Barkley scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against Jordan; in the 1995 Finals, Olajuwon swept O'Neal to win the championship; in the 1998 Finals G6, Jordan's "last shot" was won. This year's players won 7 MVPs and 8 championships, with Jordan and Olajuwon respectively dominating both offense and defense ends in the 1990s. Their showdown has accelerated the process of globalization in the NBA, with overseas broadcasts increasing from 50 to 150 countries.
