Jordan can be said to have won 10 scoring champions in 15 seasons and won 6 Finals and 6 championships. He must have defeated the league. So has he really defeated the league in the post-Jordan era? The so-called "submission" is nothing more than the fact that some players are convinced by their opponents, fans and even the media, whether in terms of personal data or team performance. After all, in the post-Jordan era, only 4 players have conquered the league.
1: O'Neal
O'Neal was actually a dominant center when entering the NBA, but his performance was not outstanding, but it was revealed until the Lakers. The Lakers won the second three consecutive championships after Jordan, and obtained three FMVPs in the finals with a data of 29+12.8 per game in the finals. No one can defend in the interior. It can be said that he was in a turbulent line, making the opponent desperate. Later, there was no way. The teams formulated some shark-cutting tactics for O'Neal to limit O'Neal. From the beginning of 2000 to the appearance of Curry, each team had to stock up on several power-type centers. It can be said that O'Neal changed the strategy of building their teams.
2: Duncan
Duncan played for the Spurs for 20 seasons, creating the so-called Spurs dynasty. Duncan's stable and selfless team basketball philosophy has won 5 championships for the Spurs, 3 individual FMVPs, and 2 regular season MVPs. Duncan can be said to be a player who is comprehensive in offense and defense, has a very high basketball quotient, and is a player who is a cornerstone level in the league who yearns for team building, and is recognized by deep opponents, media, and fans.
3: Kobe
Since the Lakers' three consecutive championships and O'Neal's departure, Kobe's record in leading the team in the next few seasons was very poor. At this time, Kobe's ability was also questioned. Later, he introduced Gasol, and entered the finals three times in a row and won the championship twice. He also proved himself that Kobe's strong personal scoring ability and ability to take over the game at critical moments made his opponents frightened, and his personal skills were also imitated by many players. He won 5 championships in his career, 2 Finals FMVPs, and 1 regular season.
4: James
James entered the NBA in 2003. It can be said that in the Cavaliers' seasons, he often led the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Finals. He led the team to the 10 finals in his career. He is the player who led the team to the Finals the most in the NBA in recent years. He led three different teams to win championships. Although he only won 4 championships, his opponents are all epic teams, such as the Spurs' GDP combination and the Five-Star Warriors. Personal honors and data are also extremely rich, with 4 Finals FMVPs, 4 regular season MVPs, and 42,000 points in the historical scoring champion. It can be said that no matter whether you like James or not, James has been working on any team he has been to develop strategies around him for 22 seasons, which is enough to prove it all.
