US media rated the 10 most influential super giants in NBA history: Curry ranked fifth, and the two were on the list in the 1960s

In the NBA, in addition to the honors he won, data and influence are also key. Why can Kobe two FMVPs and one MVP be among the top ten in history? It is because of its influence that is too great. The so-called influence is: popularity, contribution to this sport and a huge fan base. Speaking of this, the US media has previously selected the 10 most influential super giants in NBA history. Let’s see who is on the list.

The tenth Chapter Chamberlain

Chamberlain can be said to be a benchmark in data for all players in history. When discussing a player playing violent data, Chamberlain's name is always unable to avoid. This is the first player in history to achieve 100 points in a single game. No one can break it. I have been watching the game for more than 20 years, and there is not even a single one close to 90 points. In addition, Chamberlain is 50+20 in a single season and is still the total rebounding champion in history. These are difficult to surpass.

Ninth Bill Russell

Bill Russell made outstanding contributions to black players. He fought for racial equality for black players, and then his championship record. Speaking of the player with the most championships in NBA history, it was Russell. He won 11 championships in 13 years of career and created an eight-game winning streak. Although he and Chamberlain were both players in the 1960s, as long as they talk about NBA history, these two people cannot avoid it.

Eighth O'Neal

Although the Sharks are known as the most dominant center in history, it is difficult for him to get ahead in terms of influence, but O'Neal should be content. After all, looking at the history of NBA in 80 years, too many players have appeared, and he has entered the top ten, which is a kind of praise in itself. O'Neal led the team to three consecutive championships in 2000-02, the only dynasty team in the 21st century. When it comes to three consecutive championships, he probably thinks of O'Neal.

7th Bird and the third Magician

Larry Bird is one of the greatest stars in the 1980s. Bird is famous mainly because he led the NBA in the TV broadcast era. He and the Magician are called black and white double evil spirits. It can be said that they laid the foundation for the NBA stars later. Here we will not talk about Magicians alone. His ranking is third, higher than Bird. The main reason here is the Magician's Showtime era. If it weren't for AIDS, this person would be the first person in history.

Sixth, Jabbar, supported basketball in the 1970s. After Russell retired and Chamberlain became old, he dominated the league. He was the first player in the league in the 1970s. When television broadcasts were prevalent in the 1980s, Jabbar still had a very good level. He and the Magic also brought the Lakers to the height of the league's number one giant. Jabbar has been the historical total scorer for many years, which makes him easy to be talked about by fans.

Fifth Curry

Curry is an epoch-making player. Because of his existence, the league has changed from an era of having a long inside line to an era of small outside line. Curry has turned three-pointers into the main weapon of the league teams. He has also become the player with the most three-pointers in history and the number one shooter in history. Curry has changed the style of playing many people born in the 2000s. His influence spread all over the world and can be said to be very successful. In time, he is expected to enter the top ten in history.

Fourth Kobe

Kobe had a title called Fan 60E back then. Kobe is the closest player to Jordan in history. Because of this reason, he has attracted much attention. However, the difference between him and Jordan is that he does not have the talent of Jordan, so Kobe also works very hard. His characteristic has made him different and also made Mamba's spirit. The Mamba spirit has also infected many players and fans, helping them succeed in their respective fields.

Second James

Jam still failed to surpass Jordan. This is understandable, why can't he surpass Jordan? We will talk about it next when we reach the first place. James is a very successful person to be second. He is the best player in the 21st century. In terms of influence throughout the 21st century, there is no doubt that James is the strongest. James has no off-court scandals yet. He is a very qualified idol, and he is also very self-disciplined and admirable.

No. 1 Jordan

The main reason why Jordan ranks first is that he can be shaken by the fact that Jordan promoted basketball to the whole world. Even many people who don’t watch basketball know Jordan, because of Jordan’s Battle of Gods in the 1990s, this created the current prosperity of the NBA. Without Jordan, there would be no current NBA. Moreover, Jordan is also the player with the most FMVPs in history. Combining these, it is no problem for Jordan to rank first.

Perhaps after several years, Jordan's influence on fans has gradually faded, so someone may replace his most influential player, but it is extremely strict to meet Jordan's standards, and perhaps it is difficult for them to cross James. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
