As the saying goes, 'the student surpasses the master,' and 'the Yangtze River's waves drive the waves before it.' Everyone knows that the NBA is currently on a break, and a survey was conducted by the U.S. media, involving votes from across the country. Who is Number 1 in NBA history? The voting results were not surprising; of course, Jordan remains the Number 1 in NBA history. After all, his achievements make it challenging for the younger generation to surpass him. However, this time, Jordan's lead is not significant. In this vote, Jordan received 29.9% of the votes, while LeBron James got 21.2%, and Kobe Bryant ranked third with 11.7%.
In fact, Jordan's advantage is gradually being weakened by LeBron James, which is normal. After all, basketball is also progressing. A healthy sport must have the development trend of 'the Yangtze River's waves drive the waves before it.' I don't know when Jordan will be surpassed. After all, LeBron James is 37 years old, and time is running out for him. He is still a bit far from Jordan. They are both legendary figures in the NBA. Jordan won 6 NBA championships, 6 NBA Finals MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, and 5 regular-season MVP awards in his career. Jordan achieved almost everything in the NBA, including winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. Now, LeBron James has won 4 NBA championships and 4 NBA Finals MVP awards. However, LeBron's current status may not secure another Finals MVP, unless he successfully retires, surpassing the 'Sky Hook' Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
Kobe Bryant's third-place ranking is somewhat unexpected because Kobe should probably be ranked sixth or seventh in a normal ranking. After all, his individual honors are not as good as his teammate Shaquille O'Neal's, not to mention Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Tim Duncan. Especially, Duncan and Kobe won the same number of championships in the same era, but Duncan won three Finals MVP awards. This time, Kobe's third-place ranking also shows the huge impact of Kobe's sudden death. It shocked the entire basketball world, and countless fans remember the founder of the 'Mamba Spirit.' His spirit completely influenced a generation of basketball players. Look at the players in the NBA associated with Kobe. There are countless players.
The NBA is gradually entering another new era. Superstars like LeBron James, James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry are getting older. Young stars like Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, Trae Young, and Devin Booker are gradually growing. If they can enter this list in the future, there is nothing to be surprised about. After all, they are powerful enough and may even be favored by more fans. |
