Assuming that the NBA s top scorer can be put together in the draft, who can be the first to be selected? These 5 people have hope

The NBA has been founded for more than 70 years, and during this period, many of the top picks were born in the league. Many of these players have made a name for themselves after entering the league, such as O'Neal and Yao Ming, as well as the current NBA, Irving and others. They were all from the top picks in different draft years. So if all the No. 1 picks in NBA history can be put together, who among them has the most hope of being selected in the first pick? The 5 players we will take next may be the best choice!

5.Olajuwon

As the No. 1 pick of the 84 Diamonds generation, Olajuwon's performance in the NBA is worthy of his own draft pick. At his peak, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest players in the league. Therefore, he was not only selected for the Best Team 6 and Best Defensive Team 5, but also won the MVP and 2 DPOYs. These achievements are enough to show how balanced the offense and defense ends were at his peak. Later, the NBA even named the DPOY award after him.

When Olajuwon was the strongest, he led the Rockets to the championship for two consecutive seasons in 1994 and 1995, and during this period he also successfully won two FMVPs. When they won the championship in 1995, the Rockets could be said to have exceeded most people's expectations. You should know that they only ranked sixth in the Western Conference in the regular season that season, but in the end they not only successfully defended their title, but also played a strong dominance in the playoffs. In the finals, Olajuwon taught O'Neal and others a lesson, and the team also swept the opponent with a big score of 4-0.

4.Duncan

When Duncan participated in the NBA draft in 1997, he was hailed as a finished product, and his college coach also said bluntly that he had nothing to teach Duncan anymore. After entering the league, Duncan quickly adapted to the game here. In his rookie season, he averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.5 blocks, and shot 54.9%. In the end, he was selected for the All-First Team and the All-Defensive Second Team.

Immediately afterwards, Duncan led the Spurs to the championship, and he was elected FMVP without any suspense. In the end, Duncan played 19 seasons in the NBA. In addition to the championship in 1999, he also helped the team raise the flag of championship four times, and he personally won two MVPs and other honors. Another thing that highlights Duncan's ability to lead the team is that he has never missed the playoffs in his career. With his help, the Spurs are basically popular in championships every year. Such cases are quite rare in NBA history.

3. Magic Johnson

The Magician who entered the league in 1979 has played for a giant team like the Lakers from the very beginning, and he has partnered with teammates of Jabbar at the level of his level. While his luck was full, the Magic's own performance did not disappoint. He helped the Lakers win the championship in the rookie season. That year, he averaged 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 3.1 steals per game. In the finals, he scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists with the G6 explosion. He also became the youngest FMVP in NBA history.

Later, the Lakers have been building teams around the Magic, and they eventually reached 9 Finals and won 5 championships. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were the most dominant team in the NBA era. As the best player in the strongest team, after the Magician finally rose completely, he also won three MVPs and was elected three FMVPs. The Magician in the playoffs ranked first in history in total assists and triple-double, so overall he has long become the well-deserved first point guard in history.

The only regret is that the Magic's private life was too chaotic at that time, which led to him getting infected with AIDS. Therefore, he only played in the NBA for 13 seasons, otherwise with his strength, he would even be expected to reach the position of the best player in NBA history.

2.Jabbar, who graduated from university in 1969, was selected by the NBA and ABA at the same time. In the end, he decided to join the NBA and become a member of the Bucks, who had just started the team. Under the leadership of Jabbar, although the Bucks had no background at that time, they still quickly became the championship team and successfully won the championship in 1971. Therefore, Jabbar had achieved the achievement of winning MVP+FMVP in a single season at the age of 23. In the end, Jabbar won 6 MVPs and 2 FMVPs in total, and his championship rings were as many as 6, which was also due to his long career. After he was 30 years old, Jabbar still maintained an outstanding competitive state, so he won his second FMVP at the age of 37. Then, before he was about to retire, he helped the Lakers win the championship at the age of 40. That year, he was able to contribute 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in the playoffs.

When Jabbar retired, in addition to MVP and other honors, he also became the double-ranked historical scoring champion in the NBA regular season + playoffs. Therefore, Jabbar was basically recognized as the first person in history at that time.

1. James

As the only active player on this list, James has also played in the NBA for 22 seasons. In history, only Carter has played for so long, but it is obvious that the two have reached the last stage of their careers. James, who is 40 years old this season, was selected as the All-Star and All-Second Team in his 22nd year of his career and was selected as the All-Star and All-Second Team with an average of 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal per game. He still averaged 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game in the playoffs..

Looking back on James' past career, he has obviously achieved more dazzling achievements than this season. Four of the MVP and FMVP were undoubtedly the most important gains in his career. These two awards allowed him to enter the President's Mountain level discussion. Also, as his career progresses, James, who has always maintained an outstanding competitive state, has set various incredible records, such as 40,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, being selected for the best team 21 times, etc. These are unlikely to be broken for later players.

The most important thing is to look at the present, James can continue to play in the NBA. Next season, he will become the only player in NBA history to play until his 23rd season, and he is likely to be selected as an All-Star at that time. Therefore, James, whose career continues, will continue to refresh people's perception of basketball players.
