CBS Sports in the U.S. announced an interesting result.
The media reported on the 19th (Korean time) '25 years have passed since January 1, 2000. Who is the best player in the last 25 years, that is, the 2000s. The top five were selected for each position'Stephen Curry for the point guard, Kobe Bryant for the shooting guard, LeBron James for the small forward, Tim Duncan for the power forward and Nikola Jokic for the center, according to the report.
It was selected by a vote of CBS Sports NBA staff.
Uniquely, I chose the best player in each of the 1st to 5th positions. The phenomenon in which the position has become meaningless is a new phenomenon that has occurred recently. In the 2000s, the classification of each position was strict. We decided to respect this part.
The position division was clear in the 2000s and even in the early and mid-2010s.
There were traditional point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, and center positions in basketball. However, in modern basketball, the meaning of division by position has faded.
He pursued the most efficient basketball around the ball handler. After all, modern basketball is divided into three positions: main ball handler, wingman, and big man. Of course, the three positions are also gradually crossing the boundaries.
For 25 years, five players have been selected for the All-NBA First Team.
Curry and LeBron need no explanation. Curry is the NBA's greatest shooter and ball handler of all time. Naturally, he is the best field commander in the last 25 years. The same goes for LeBron. Along with Michael Jordan, he is the hero of the all-time great player debate.
Kobe Bryant, who is famous, is also unrivaled. The media reports that Kobe Bryant is similar to Michael Jordan in terms of style. It didn't exceed Jordan, but it was a clear choice as a first-team shooting guard. It is not an exaggeration to say that it scored the most points (81 points) in a game in the 21st century, and an average of 35.4 points per game in 2006 was the most in NBA history.
Tim Duncan is a legend for the San Antonio Spurs and a textbook player for the power forward. It is considered the best power forward in NBA history. He has been selected to the NBA team 15 times.
The Centre may be in dispute. Because there is Shaquille O'Neal.
However, the media chose Jokichi.
This medium was the hardest for the center to choose from. Nikola Jokic played 745 regular season games and 94 playoff games. Shaquille O'Neal played 752 regular-season games and 150 playoff games. O'Neill won four times and Jokic won only one. However, O'Neill's teammates were very powerful. On the other hand, Jokic has never played with an All-Star player, 'Jokic has the upper hand in the playoff performance. They were all dominant in average points (27.4 vs. 23.3), rebounds (12.3 vs. 11.9), and assists (7.6 vs. 2.4). In addition, O'Neill was vulnerable to free throws. In the end, the choice was Jokichi.
