Reverse Growth Superstar

: One thousand and thirty-seven: a player between man and god

   "Link is very strong. It is estimated that few players in the league can have an advantage over him. Playing against him makes me desperate."

   This is what Wiggins said to reporters three days ago in Minnesota, after a grizzly bears blood tormented the Timberwolves.

   Generally speaking, young players with high potential seldom concede defeat, especially those star players who have established a firm foothold in the league.

   For example, when Kobe entered the league, he refused to accept Jordan.

   James did not think he was worse than Kobe when he entered the league with the aura of the "chosen son".

  As soon as they entered the league, they began to fight the league's best players.

   But Wiggins, who is known as the No. 1 pick who is comparable to James, showed his helplessness to the fullest, and didn't mean to use Link as an enemy at all.

   He did not say "I look forward to the next fight with Link."

   also did not say, "I will continue to work hard to do better next time."

   Instead, he said: "Link makes me feel desperate."

   So after the interview that day, Wiggins was mocked by the crowd.

  People say that he lost his spirit at a young age.

   said that he has no ambitions that a champion should have.

  I don't have the desire to win that a great player must have. I'm sorry for his talent.

   Said that Wiggins's attitude towards the game and strong opponents meant that he could not become a great player.

   Originally, many people wanted to wait for the Grizzlies and Bucks to play against Wiggins with Antetokounmpo.

   As everyone knows, Antetokounmpo also lost miserably when facing Link. Moreover, he also very much agrees with Wiggins' speech!

   It turns out that Wiggins is not as unbearable as people say.

   He is not cowardly, just telling the truth. He, like all other young people, tried his best, but he was still beaten to nothing.

   Link is really strong. He is indeed a nightmare for all new stars. He makes these newcomers understand that "just work hard to win the game" is just a lie.

   Antetokounmpo, players with terrifying talents like this, how can they expect other young people to do better?

   It can be said that after this game, Wiggins was saved by Antetokounmpo.

   Now everyone knows that Wiggins is not wrong. Because all the new stars of this alliance have no resistance in front of Link!

   At the press conference after the game, Antetokounmpo also admitted the huge gap between himself and Link.

   "I said last season that the best players in the league wear Grizzlies jerseys. But to be honest, Link is better than I thought."

   "I have no chance at all. He seems to be able to predict all my movements. My every move is completely in his control."

   "Link is impeccable on the offensive end. I tried to use the advantage of my height and wingspan to interfere with him, but it didn't work at all."

"Even if last season's championship was the Warriors, I still think Link is the best player in the league. How do you say? He belongs to that kind of role at the top of the pyramid. I hope I can catch up with him one day, but certainly not now. "

  As Link's little fan, Antetokounmpo did not complain after losing the game, but generously admitted Link's greatness.

   But from a player whose physical condition is so exaggerated, and the player who just defeated Paul George in the last game heard this, it still surprised the reporters.

   Does Link's strength have boundaries?

   The Warriors defeated Link last season. Was it accidental or proof of true strength?

   The Grizzlies have such a good momentum this year, can they really regain the championship after only one year?

   If Antetokounmpo praises Link, it is because he has a good impression of Link.

   The praise that Kidd gave to Link at the press conference is hard to fault.

"Link is a smart player. He knows how to solve the current dilemma. This is what makes him most different. Many people only pay attention to Link's bounce and his precise shooting, but I think he is the most powerful. Here." Kidd said, pointing his head with his finger.

   Link that guy is on the court, as mature as a 40-year-old ball ruffian!

  Kid knows that things like experience cannot be shaped quickly. But when he and the Mavericks played against the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals in 2011, Link, who was then a freshman, showed incredible maturity and sophistication.

   Yes, things like experience cannot be accumulated quickly. But there are always a few special cases in this world, and Link is one of them.

   The entire Bucks press conference seems to have become Link's commendation meeting.

   Antetokounmpo and Kidd praised Link while acknowledging their defeat, which really made the reporters speechless.

   What they wanted to see was the fight between the two sides. Unexpectedly, they were all complimenting Link.

   The day after the game ended, when Kidd and Antetokounmpo’s praise of Link was flying all over the net, Bill Simmons made another big news.

   He updated the much-anticipated “Pyramid of Fame” column in his column.

   This column was first updated in 2010. As the name suggests, the so-called "Hall of Fame Pyramid" is Bill Simmons' ranking of all the great NBA players in history.

  A total of 96 people were selected from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. And these 96 people are ranked in order.

   This "Hall of Fame Pyramid" selects all players in the history of the league, so current players and retired players are among them.

   This kind of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" drama has made fans talk about it.

   But since 2010, this column has never been updated for the second time.

   Now that six years have passed, the situation in the league has long been very different from before. Kobe has left, James and the Heat have not reached the height that people expected.

   Therefore, everyone is eager to know how the ranking will change if Bill Simmons is ranked again.

   For this reason, fans often argue on basketball forums.

  As a result, Bill Simmons’s "Pyramid of Fame" has been updated today, and his ranking has really come!

   Fans rushed into Bill Simmons' column with excitement, which even caused the server to crash for a while.

   How else should Bill Simmons be an influential basketball writer all over the world?

   Less than ten minutes after the "Hall of Fame Pyramid" was updated, basketball forums in all parts of the world were bombed.

   Because of the ranking this time, there is a big difference from the last time, and it is quite controversial!

In 2010, Vince Carter, ranked 89th, surpassed "Rain Man" Camp this time. Robert Horry, Dwight Howard and Tracy McGrady and other gods soared 12 places to 77th. !

  The reason is very simple. Carter has one more championship ring than 6 years ago!

   In 2010, Simmons predicted that the aging Carter would retire plainly, and it would be impossible for him to show any amazing performance in the playoffs in his life.

   As a result, this veteran who is almost 40 years old is still fighting.

   Moreover, the redemption lore he made in the left corner of the playoffs in 15 years and his eventual victory with the Grizzlies exceeded Bill Simmons' expectations.

   So this time, he improved Carter's ranking, placing him ahead of McGrady, who has no champion, and Howard, who is now playing poorly.

After   , Kidd and Nowitzki also improved their rankings.

  Because it was estimated that Bill Simmons could not have imagined that these two veterans could actually win the championship tenaciously one year after he was discharged from this "pyramid".

   Kidd and Dirk were originally ranked 43rd and 39th, but now Kidd has surpassed Nash, Kevin McHale and others to rank 30th!

   Compared to Nash, Kidd has won the championship after all, and played a key role in the championship season, so he is now ranked higher than Nash.

   Nowitzki rose to 26th place, with great players such as Garnett, Isaiah Thomas, Pippen and John Stockton.

   In other words, the 26th place is already a very high position.

   You must know that Dirk was not seen by anyone before winning the title in 11 years. At that time, he had nothing to do with the word "great" at all. Compared with greatness, people are more willing to call him soft.

   But this super season of 10-11, let the "German Chariot" salted fish turn over. He not only won honor, but also respect.

   Therefore, Simmons adjusted Dirk's ranking, and Nowitzki was well-deserved for this award.

   After that, James has soared from the original 20th to 13th.

   In 6 years, James has successfully entered the top 15 ranks from the top 20 cranes in history.

   When Bill Simmons made this "pyramid" for 10 years, James hadn't had a championship, and he didn't even announce that he would join the Heat.

   But with his strong personal ability, Simmons still put James without a crown in 20th.

   While the Heat won a championship, James also reached the total score for 6 consecutive years!

  This allowed him to surpass many historical-class players such as Barkley, Elgin Baylor, Julius Owen and Moses Malone, and temporarily rank 13th!

   The two above James’ heads are Olajuwon and O’Neal, two historical giants.

   If James wins the championship more times, the ranking may be even higher.

   But at the end of the day, the fans discovered that whether it was Carter, Kidd, Dirk or James, their rankings were not the biggest change.

   This year, the player with the biggest change in ranking directly surpassed 90 players!

   In 2010 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this player has not yet entered the "pyramid".

   But now, he is ranked sixth in the pyramid by Bill Simmons, replacing the position that originally belonged to Wilt Chamberlain!

   The top five ranked Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "Magic" and Bird, in addition to their excellent personal honors, they also have a lot of historical status bonuses.

  Because the five of them are not just a matter of personal honor, but have driven the development of the entire league.

   Therefore, the top five rankings are generally considered unshakable.

   And ranked sixth, to put it bluntly, in fact, after setting aside historical factors and other factors, Simmons believes that the strength can be equal to the top five super basketball superstar!

   is a player between **** and man.

  Before, Bill Simmons left this position to Chamberlain, even though he hated that guy very much.

   And now, he thinks this person is Link!

   Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe, and "LOGO man" Jerry West and other legends were all forced to drop one ranking by Link!

   There is no doubt that Link has become the most controversial in this “pyramid”.

   ranked sixth, second only to the five "gods". Moreover, it is the highest ranked among active players!

   Bill Simmons' praise to Link caught everyone by surprise! The appearance of Link is also the reason why the "Pyramid" is so popular after the update. .

   The strongest active duty, or the greatest member of history!

  People are very curious, does Link really deserve this position?
