The Lakers' live press conference went out of control! Kobe Bryant took the lead! - New York Times.
Lose and lose! This is Kobe Bryant’s player demeanor! ——ESPN expert Henry Abbott.
Personal heroism can never defeat team basketball! This Spurs team is one of the best championship teams I have ever watched! - ESPN expert Brian Windhorse.
Big score 0-3! What chance does the Lakers have of advancing? My answer is 0.00000000000001%! ——ESPN Channel 2 host Jay Williams.
The Lakers’ season is over! – Yahoo Sports.
Even the local media in Los Angeles lamented that the Lakers have come to an end this season.
But at this time, a video of Jordan's interview was also transmitted from abroad. He probably thought that 52 meant a championship ring. It didn't mean anything at first, but the host's question was about James and Kobe, so Jordan didn't either.
Method. I originally wanted to make a fool of Durant, but unexpectedly the other party refused to give in. When Jordan saw this, he said a very famous argument "52" (this is really the existence of space. It is the original space this season.
). In fact, this is a very traditional answer. After all, in the United States, championship rings are basically supreme. Of course, it is better to have data + rings. Jordan’s statement was originally just a more official answer, but unexpectedly it still caused an uproar.
.
This is true abroad, and it is also true domestically. The discussion on the Internet suddenly became heated. The popularity was as high as that of the Lakers, who were trailing 0-3. Even more so. There is no way, people just like this type of comparison.
The topic is buzzing at a speed that is much more exciting than any competition.
Facts have proved! This season still belongs to me, James! Create the Heat dynasty! Won three consecutive FMVPs! Target Jordan!
Jordan just felt threatened! He said this because he felt that James was threatening his status as the best in history!
Jordan is also a human being! This just shows how powerful our King James is! Jordan, the first man in history, has been sitting there for so long, so it’s time for a replacement, right?
See what foreign experts say? Barbara Baker, a reporter for the American media "Daily News", wrote an article saying that Jordan was deliberately suppressed because James threatened his historical status! The address and link are below,
Go and see for yourself! I am definitely not talking nonsense! (This is also factual news)
According to Jordan, doesn’t Horry have more rings than him? Didn’t Russell, the King of the Ring, leave him behind by a few blocks??? This is simply shameless!!!
Since this year, a topic has become more and more popular on the Internet, "Jordan is afraid that James will threaten his historical status, so he deliberately suppresses it." In fact, it is simply overthinking. With Jordan's achievements and legend, James even got 6
A championship ring is still not as good as him, not to mention that James will probably not get 6 rings in his life. Not to mention Jordan's two consecutive three consecutive championships, the absolute dominance of two true dynasties. Except for some extreme James
Secretly, in fact, no one really thinks that James can threaten Jordan's historical status.
It’s not as good as the honorary championship, so what to compare? Just compete for President Hill! Of course, judging from James’ career plan that maximizes interests, and with his super strength, most of them can actually be compared! Unfortunately, some people
To insist on comparing him with Jordan is a bit overestimating! Because Jordan is a basketball player that James will never be able to compare with in his life. From legend to honor, he is completely crushed, including the last shot of the finals.
Everything is perfect! Jordan is even the embodiment of victory in the United States, James? Even if he is second in history, don't think about being first in history.
It is simply because Jordan scored 100 points on this test paper that he only scored 100 points. There is such an obvious gap.
But starting from the 2013-2014 season, the topic of James threatening Jordan started to become popular for some reason. It is obviously a completely wrong comparison, and it was promoted by some unscrupulous media. Do you really think that 2 or 3 championships surpassed Jordan?
I'm afraid not many fans of this generation understand his dominance over the times.
As strong as the Lakers' O.K. combination, they only won three consecutive championships. Think about how difficult it is to win two three consecutive championships. Moreover, he also had a side job for so long, playing baseball. He was still at his peak. He came back to the league and continued to dominate.
This is the symbol of invincibility.
Jordan really has nothing to brag about. His strength and critical moments never let up, which is something no one can match.
There is no need to brag about this, it is simply a fact.
As for reaching the finals consecutively, I’ve already said stop bragging about it. If you put it in the Western Conference, first of all, you will lose all the games that you should have lost in the original space-time finals. Not to mention the madness and consumption of the Western Conference. A third place player in the Eastern Conference is ahead of the Western Conference.
In an era when Badu cannot enter, instead of talking about dominance, it is more reliable to talk about extraordinary choices, shrewd decision-making, and luck.
It’s not that James is not strong. He can be compared with anyone in history, and that’s OK, but why go to Jordan? Some unscrupulous James fans and unscrupulous James fans, are you sure you are praising James?
?Rather than deliberately trying to make him look embarrassed?
Both T.N.T TV station and ESPN have had heated discussions on two recent topics:
First, what are the chances of the Lakers winning? Is Kobe talking crazy again?
Second, does James really threaten Jordan's historical status?
Pippen's remarks on the "T.N.T." program suddenly made the second topic more popular than the first one.
Pippen said this: Jordan is the greatest scorer in NBA history, but LeBron James may be the greatest player in history! He is so comprehensive! Not only has extraordinary scoring ability, but he can also make teammates around him better.
Good! He also leads by example on defense! This is not disrespectful to Jordan, but James really has the potential and talent to become the best in history!
Also agreeing with this view is Jordan’s former “mortal enemy”, Isiah Thomas, who also said:
Jordan is the best athlete of our time, and LeBron is thought to be a better athlete than Jordan back then. He is taller, stronger, and faster! (Both passages are true, not fabricated)
Immediately, more legendary stars of the league began to come forward to take sides, and even had no choice. After all, reporters were so excited about this topic that they almost turned into bloodthirsty sharks. If you catch a celebrity related to basketball, you have to ask this question. So a few
Within days, the entire league was filled with an atmosphere of debate. And after asking around, there were two people, James VS Jordan.
Olajuwon said in an interview with BC: It is unfair to compare James and Jordan, because the two are basically the same level of players, and Jordan is far better than James. I am not denying James' achievements, but I cannot compare with Jordan.
(These are the original words of Olajuwon’s interview in October 2016. They are used in advance)
Ewing, who was also one of the "four major centers" in the 1990s, said: Jordan is the greatest player, and no one can be equal to him.
O'Neal replied when accepting the media: The confrontation between the two of them will be interesting, but I will overpower Jordan. Jordan is Jordan, and he is the most unique one.
However, there are also different voices. In fact, Jordan has basically never publicly said that he is the first person in history. For example, Dr. J. Julius Erving ranked himself in an interview with Gary Payton and Karisha Thompson on FOX Sports.
The five strongest lineups in history, well, without Jordan. Gary Payton also made his strongest lineup in history, but still without Jordan.
Among them is Lakers legend "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He is the weirdest old man. He looks down on both James and Jordan. This is also in line with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's personality and his personality over the years. He has never felt that anyone is better than him.
.
"Magic" Johnson also rarely voted for James, but his original words were that James has the potential if he keeps improving at this rate.
Suddenly, due to the powerful interference of these celebrities, the topic that was originally thought to be silent soon once again broke out with new climax and vitality. This situation is really one of the grandest events in the basketball world.
However, Rodman also spoke up at this time. He publicly despised James. He claimed that James would never be as good as Jordan. Jordan would never team up with Johnson and Larry Bird at their peak. He also said
James just entered the league at the perfect time, otherwise he would not even be as good as Pippen.
Soon this scope even spread to the head coach. Of course, Riley supported James, who was still on the Heat, while Phil Jackson believed that Jordan was the best, bar none.
Soon after being bombarded by everyone from the former Bulls team, Pippen actually changed his tune (this is also a true story, he went back on his word, Xiao Zi felt funny when he saw it at the time, so Pippen is at most the second uncle, and will never be the first uncle),
He began to say that what he said before was actually just to encourage and motivate James. We all know that Jordan is the strongest in history.
This is really a messy situation, as if the entire American basketball community has begun to debate and take sides, and has actually lost its leading role in the playoffs that are still going on.
In order to expand the results and attract attention, reporters from some authoritative media in the United States began to not let go of even active players. The first ones to be affected were, of course, the four teams still playing in the conference finals.
Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers.
This season is James' most high-spirited year. Three consecutive championships seem to be beckoning to him. He has established a Heat dynasty while still young. There is still plenty of time to get more championship rings in the future. So James is
In the past few years, both in the original time and space and in the current time and space, I have done a lot of stupid things. The conflict with Russell and claiming that I was not selected for DPOY is unfair. I am already 50 times stronger than before. I can start from the No. 1 position.
Defending to the fifth position, I can play center if necessary.
After the latest victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, James once again made the same statement he made when he first came to Miami: I am the strongest player! I will win 7 championships for Miami! If not
After winning 3 consecutive championships and establishing a dynasty, I will not leave the Heat!!!
Why are you so high-spirited? Because James has had extremely good statistics in recent rounds, and the performances of Wade and Bosh have been completely overwhelmed by him. James has completely begun to lead this team, even though he is the "outsider".
But in terms of statistics, he is really impeccable, as "perfect" as in the past. In the series against the Charlotte Bobcats, he averaged 30+8+6+2 per game, and his shooting percentage was close to 56%+35%+80%.
The Nets averaged almost 30+6+4+1 per game, and their shooting percentage was close to 57%+38%+82%. This kind of data is definitely worth being proud of and makes James feel good.
And the most important thing is that when James knew that the opposing Lakers had been beaten 0-3 by the Spurs, his remaining worries disappeared. After all, he is one year older than this season.
The Spurs and the Lakers, who have the No. 29 power center, are what he pays more attention to. In fact, Rodman is not wrong at all in one sentence. Others may be a bit exaggerated, but about James "entering the league at a perfect time."
"There is no problem at all. After all, as long as James encounters a strong insider, his playing level will inevitably decline. This is a certain thing.
It depends on how far it falls.
You can tell this just by looking at the data. Because James’s style of play is to attack the inside and the basket, he is very restricted by strong inside lines. This is different from the misalignment of outside matchup data.
The relationship between law and the ability of the inside to protect the basket has a huge impact on him, far more than other outside players.
Judging from James' career data as of 2018, his three major shooting percentages are: 50%+34%+74%.
But against a team with a strong inside line, his performance was greatly reduced. Against Garnett, his career 46.9% + 30.9% + 73.9% dropped significantly, especially in the playoffs. Against Tim Duncan, his career 47.7%, the playoffs
45.6%. Against Howard, career 48.9%, playoffs 48.7%. Against O'Neal, career 45.4%, playoffs 40.9%. Against Yao Ming, career 38.9%. Against Joakim Noah, career 48%, playoffs
45.5%. Even against Mutombo, who is around 40 years old, his career shooting percentage is 42.2%.
It can be seen that against powerful insiders, there is no time when James' shooting percentage does not drop. Again, it depends on whether the drop is more or less. And here, James also occupies another good opportunity, that is
These powerful insiders, with the exception of Howard, are either in the later stages of their careers and had few games with each other at their peak. Instead, he had a certain advantage, or their careers were cut short due to injuries. If Garnett, Duncan and Yao Ming
O'Neal Mutombo's peak time is basically the same as James's, so James' matchup data will definitely decline even more. After all, because he is young, he often faces these people when they are at the end of their careers.
They all had old arms and legs, and not even half of their peak strength was left. But even so, James faced them and only managed this kind of shooting percentage.
This makes some fans and pseudo-fans who advocate hit rate subconsciously avoid the issue and never mention it.
This is what Rodman said, the right time is not like many of his words, speaking freely and without restraint.
In short, against truly powerful insiders, especially when they were still in their prime, James never proved himself. Not even once. Even Howard, who played the best, was killed by others in 2009.
