The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1292: Rhythm master

The latest website: The seventh shooting guard among the 50 superstars. There is no suspense. Everyone unanimously recommended Hal Greer to be selected.

To modern fans, Greer is just an uncommon surname.

But if you want to choose a superstar career in the NBA from the 1950s to the present, every 10 years, it should be the following people:

50S: Bob Pettit (BobPettitPF)

60S: Hal "Havlicek stole my ball" Greer.

70S: Wes Unseld.

80S: Bill Walton.

90S: Clyde Drexler.

00S: Dirk Nowitzki.

10S: (to be continued, I personally hope it is Harden, or Paul) (1)

Going back to Greer, he started out playing for the Syracuse Nationals, the predecessor of the Philadelphia 76ers. Moreover, he only played for this team throughout his career, one person, one city, 10 All-Star selections, 7 selections to the All-NBA team, won the championship with the team in 1967, and was voted by the worst team in history in 1972. The 76ers were so frustrated that they chose to retire.

He has experienced everything in this team, which is complete in every sense.

The eighth man started, and the scene was getting out of control.

In addition to the center position, the other four positions have 9 places each.

In other words, there are only two places left for the second position.

The candidates include George Gervin, Earl Monroe, Dale Ellis, Pete Maravich.

Of the four, Gervin scored the most points, Monroe had the most pop culture influence, Maravich was the most disappointing, and Ellis was the least eligible.

Unless Miller and Sharman have an overwhelming number of championships, otherwise, winning a championship alone is not enough for Ellis to completely overwhelm Gervin and Maravich.

Not to mention Ellis, even Monroe, who is also a champion, did not beat Gervin in this round of voting.

Monroe and Maravich, two game-watching players, received more support from reporters, while Gervin was unanimously supported by coaches and players.

Louis has seen Gervin's peak tail.

To be honest, he didn't like Gervin's style of play.

But the selection was not based on his preferences.

Although he gave his vote to Monroe, Gervin still made the Big 50 by a clear margin.

For the last spot at the shooting guard position, Louis didn't argue directly, and wrote Ellis' name on it.

He didn't do it with rhythm.

Compared with Monroe and Maravich, Ellis has no more advantages except for the title of the historical three-pointer.

Of course, he has a championship that Maravich has never had, but people now will say that if Ellis was replaced by Maravich or Monroe at his peak, the Knicks would still win the championship.

Anyone who has witnessed that championship will directly speak out to those who put forward this point of view, but because Ellis only participated in that championship, the Knicks won the championship for six consecutive years.

It is completely normal for people nowadays to think that way, because the professional ability of ordinary spectators can only allow them to use the method of controlling variables, which is very problematic, to judge the importance of players, but things are always changing .

If the 88 Knicks did not have Ellis, then their championship will definitely be one less.

Definitely.

But on this occasion, no one agrees with this statement.

They were playing a "Who was greater Monroe or Maravich" debate.

Among the coaches present at the meeting was Monroe's Knicks teammate, Phil Jackson.

At the same time, Jackson is also a direct descendant of Louis.

Today, he is sitting next to Louis.

But Jackson was not one to argue with others.

Jackson as the perfect team missed by many old New Yorkers

As a member of the team, I really want to say something for my old teammates.

At one point, Maravich's supporters had the upper hand.

In terms of personal honor, Maravich was selected to the best team four times, and Monroe only once.

In terms of All-Stars, Maravich has one more time than Monroe.

But Monroe has a championship that Maravich doesn't.

And, for most of his career, Monroe's teams were more competitive than Maravich's.

Seeing the group of people discussing endlessly, Jackson turned his head to look at Louis: "Coach, can you say a few words?"

"What should I say? I was a kid when they played." Louie said modestly.

In fact, he still has the right to speak.

Louie watched Monroe play at Ridgefield Stadium as a child, and also met Maravich in his later years after turning to professional basketball.

He likes both of them.

Especially Monroe, he is not only a celebrity of the Knicks, but also one of Louie's allies in the league.

Before the final voting session began, Louis made a summary: "In my opinion, Earl and Pete belong to the top 50. However, Earl's career looks better, and he still has a championship, The most important thing is that on the day of the awards, Earl can come to the scene, and Pete...he has been recalled by God. Everyone, you should all know the inside story of the MVP selection of the 1980 Finals. Ream's, he deserved it, but he didn't make it to the game because of a foot injury, so it went to Erwin."

"The NBA 50 superstar award ceremony is a lively program, everyone should be happy, let Pete rest in peace."

Garcia Lynn watched as Louie took control of the selection process.

In his view, as long as there is such a stalemate, Louis' opinion can play a decisive role.

After the shooting guard is judged, the small forward position is relatively simple.

Small forward can be regarded as the second most talented position in NBA history.

The first five selected were Larry Bird, Benjamin Wilson, Julius Erving, John Havlicek, and Elgin Baylor.

The sixth selection is the 1950s Warriors legend Paul Arizin ().

Followed by Rick Barry, Scottie Pippen, Dominique Wilkins.

It is worth mentioning that Wilkins, as a player selected at the buzzer, was extremely controversial before the voting results came out.

Because he was competing with Billy Cunningham.

Wilkins was more capable as a player, and Cunningham was a core member of the team that wiped out the Celtics dynasty in 1967.

But unfortunately, after retiring, Cunningham formed a huge bond with Louis as a coach.

When Cunningham was a guest commentator on CBS, as long as he met Louie's team, he basically turned into a black fan on the spot.

Louis usually doesn't care about commentators gossiping, but now that he has a chance for revenge, he will of course support Wilkins, who is not related to him.

It was Louie's full support that brought suspense to this unsuspecting vote.

When the votes were tied, Garcia Lynn made a decision on behalf of the league: "Dominique Wilkins' dunk is epoch-making... In summary, I should let Dom (nickname) be selected to the top 50 Superstar."

Another top 50 superstar from the previous life was knocked off the platform of honor by the swaying wings of the traverser.

The most exciting thing is undoubtedly the choice of power forward.

Since the power forward lacks super ruthless people who can dominate an era, the 9 spots are all discussed on the spot.

The first to be selected was Kevin McHale, who was blown into the top three forwards in history by the New York media.

McHale's six-year career with the Bulls can be largely ignored.

In the Knicks' six-year career, only the first two years were considered elite, and it happened to be those two years that he won an MVP and an NBA Finals.

Championship, and then won five consecutive championships with the team.

A player with a short peak but a huge number of championships was pushed to the top of the pyramid at the fourth position by the media.

After that, Bob Pettit, who is currently recognized as the number one power forward in history, is followed by the two evergreens Karl Malone on the fourth position and Dennis Rodman who was carried in by Louis - not really It is said that Rodman cannot get in by voting, but considering that his image is too bad, he will definitely be targeted in the voting process. In order to avoid accidents, let him go directly to save worry.

The fifth place is the popular spicy chicken Danny Manning.

Although Kemp's disastrous performance in the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals ended the Knicks' dynasty, he also got his revenge last year, and through a similar recency effect as Miller, he was selected as the sixth man at power forward in the Big 50.

The seventh spot belongs to ancient giant Dolph Hayes (Dolphhayes PF/C).

The eighth spot was given to Karl Malone before Karl Malone -- Elvin Hayes.

Then there's the final spot at power forward.

There are four people competing for it, including Charles Barkley, Dave Debusschere, Hank Gaithers, and Jerry Lucas.

This time, Louis did not argue.

He silently filled in Dave Debusschere's name and waited for the result.

While Barkley was one of his players, De Buschel shared a deep personal bond with him.

Before Louie joined New York~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he set a few conditions: rebuilding, poor performance, and the whole team must be traded; exchange Floyd, who is an immediate fighter, and get the draft pick for Stockton; The signing was delayed until August (resulting in the inability to sign in), so that even if Louis had a bad hand, the New York media, which was very unfriendly to him at the time, could not say anything.

All these things were carried out by De Buschel alone, and the infamy was naturally carried by him.

But he suffered all these hardships, but he didn't wait for the moment of the Knicks' revival. Due to physical reasons, De Buschell left in Louie's second season in New York before Elgin Baylor got a chance.

In the end, with two championships, two selections to the best team, six selections to the best defensive team, and eight-time All-Star glory, De Buschell won steadily and became the power forward who was selected as the top 50 superstars at the buzzer .

So far, except for the center, the other four positions have all been voted.

(1) If Curry's resume is not so popular, I think he is the answer of the 10S superstar "not extremely brilliant, but sufficient enough". The championship in 22 years is as legendary as the 14 Spurs.
