11:34am, 8 June 2025Basketball
Every fan or player has his own top ten players in NBA history. I think the top ten players in history are: Jordan, James, Jabbar, Bill Russell, Magic, Duncan, Bird, O'Neal, Chamberlain and Kobe. The historical status of a player is considered to be honor and influence. Some players have a great influence in their own minds and will naturally have a high ranking. O'Neal has also recently evaluated the top ten in his mind. Let's take a look.
10th Dr. J, Irving,
Dr. J's peak was in the ABA's ABA's history. He has won the regular season MVP many times. After entering the NBA, Dr. J won one regular season MVP trophy and led the 76ers to the finals many times, winning one championship. Dr. J is the pioneer of aerial work style. He is Jordan's template. His playing style is extremely gorgeous. He can average 22 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in his career.
Ninth Duncan
Duncan can be said to be the biggest obstacle for O'Neal and Kobe to dominate the 2000s. Duncan won 5 championships throughout his career, more than the Sharks, and he led the team to the playoffs in 2019. He is the best cornerstone player in history. He has won two regular season MVPs and 3 FMVP trophys, the best power forward in history, and has also led the team to win the championship with a single core. He averaged 19 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.2 blocks in his career.
Eighth Olajuwon
Da Meng is considered to be the best center in history with offense and defense. His defense is the top of the center in history. He won two DPOYs in his career. He is the champion of blocks in history and is also the top ten steals in history. Olajuwon dominated the league in two seasons of Jordan's retirement, won two championships, and swept the Sharks in the finals. His two FMVPs are extremely valuable. He averaged 21.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals, and 3.1 blocks per game in his career.
7th Larry Bird
Bird is one of the most versatile players in NBA history. He is not fast, but you just can't defend. Like Doncic, he has a very high ball quotient and his own offensive rhythm. However, compared to Doncic, Bird's defense is better. He is the only player who has achieved three consecutive regular season MVP since the 1980s. He has led the Celtics to win three championships. Bird averaged 24.3 points, 10 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his career.
Sixth Chamberlain
Although Chamberlain has few great honors, the data he has produced is too terrifying, so it is highly recognized by players and the media. Although the honors in the 1960s were not very recognized, the data is hard currency, with 100 points in a single game and averaging 50+25 per game in a single season. He has also achieved more than 48 minutes per game per game. His historical rebounding champion is very exaggerated. Chamberlain won two championships in his career and averaged 30.1 points, 22.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
Fifth Bill Russell
The reason why Russell was able to beat Chamberlain was because the two were in the same era, and Russell suppressed Chamberlain most of the time. He won the championship 11 times in 13 years, and even achieved eight consecutive championships that were shocking. In other words, there was no FMVP selection in his era, otherwise he would have been able to get this honor. He had 5 regular season MVPs as many as Jordan. Russell averaged 15.1 points, 22.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in his career.
The Fourth Magician
The Magician is the first point guard in history. If it weren't for AIDS, he might be the first person in history in Jordan. The Magician has a great influence because he has made more players like passing. The Magician has a strong dominance. He has led the team to the finals and won 5 championships in 13 years in his career. The Magician is the point guard with the most honors in history, with 3MVPs and 3 FMVPs. The Magician averaged 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his career.
Third James
The strongest players in this list, Jay Barr, were not selected, which is indeed surprising, but James still received enough respect. After all, James is the top scorer in history, and he is also the player with the most FMVPs in history. He won a total of 4. With these honors, it is estimated that in the hearts of 99% of the players, he is among the top ten players in history. James averaged 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.5 steals in his career.
Second Kobe
Second Kobe has eased since he retired. Even though Kobe has retired, O'Neal still recognizes and respects him very much. Kobe does not have the talent of James and Jordan, but relying on his own efforts, he has reached a level of comparison with Joe Zhan. Kobe's Mamba spirit has also influenced many players. He is fourth in history, has 5 championships and 2 FMVPs, and has averaged 25 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals in his career.
The first Jordan
This will not be too questioned. Generally speaking, if the stars in the 2000s or before were ranked in the top ten in history, Jordan would generally be ranked first. After all, they have experienced the era of Jordan's rule, and the combination of offense and defense is simply indissoluble. Jordan never missed the finals 6, and also won the most FMVPs in history, averaging 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals in his career, and he is a 10-time scoring winner. Having said that, what do you want to say about the top ten history listed by O'Neal this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
