"LeBron James actually went to the second team, but this is also something that can't be helped, indeed, the whole league must now believe that the future is these two super small forwards in 07!"
"Chris Bosh's name can't be seen directly, although this is also the right choice, but I really can't see this guy's name, I really feel a little uncomfortable!"
"I have to say that the competition for this year's best team is indeed a bit fierce, Griffin as the most powerful power forward representative of the new generation actually failed, and Tim Duncan's name is missing, but I really can't say, what's wrong with this list!"
Fans naturally have a lot of opinions about the selection of various positions in this best team, but compared to the last discussion of last season, this season everyone does not have too many different opinions except for discussions!
Yes, LeBron James was ranked in the second team of the best team, and it didn't cause much commotion, you know, two years ago, fans of this league couldn't wait to directly announce that the league would be surnamed LeBron in the next ten years!
But two years have passed, and LeBron James can't even squeeze in for a while!
What's more, no one has figured anything is wrong yet!
Of course, this is really nothing to think about, because from the current situation, it can already be seen that the two most outstanding small forwards in the entire league must be Kevin Durant and Yi Jianlian, which is also a matter of no choice!
LeBron James can't compare these two in any way!
For example, in the scoring list, the first place in the scoring list of this year's regular season is Yi Jianlian, who scored more than 50 points per game after Zhang Dashuai that year, but it is also the only one in history who averages 40 points per game.
Aside from him, no one else has averaged 40 points per game in the season.
As mentioned before, Chamberlain averaged more than 50 points per game.
And although Kevin Durant is much worse than him, he is also much higher than other players, averaging more than 33 points per game, which is enough to be the scoring champion in other seasons.
And although LeBron James's score is not bad, averaging 27.8 points per game, but if this score is really compared with these two, it will be a bit insufficient!
First comparison, LeBron James failed!
Looking at the team's results, the Heat had a good regular season record and ended up in third place in the East, but this ranking is the same as the Thunder, who are also third in the West.
It may seem like a half-hearted, but the Thunder made it to the Finals in the end.
Not to mention Yi Jianlian, he directly won the championship trophy.
LeBron James ended up being the Eastern Conference champion.
LeBron James lost again.
Both of these songs were lost, and LeBron James naturally lost.
What's more, he is surrounded by Dwyane Wade, who is also a superstar, and Chris Bosh, who was once a superstar.
With such two teammates but fell in the East for two consecutive years, this is definitely not a success, and it can even be said to be a very failure.
And the follow-up impact of his two leads is also very great, and it can actually be seen from the current public opinion that there are a lot, and when the current fans talk about small forwards, they obviously talk about Yi Jianlian first and then Kevin Durant, and LeBron James is no longer as directly blurted out as before!
In fact, it can be seen from here that LeBron James has indeed fallen behind!
This is also the reason why, after he failed to enter for a while, although some people were a little surprised, no one argued for him.
I can't move my braids!
Suffice it to say, Kevin Durant's run to the Finals this year allowed him to finally overtake in the corner, successfully squeezing LeBron James behind him.
Speaking of which, this Finals has changed a lot of players in the league.
Kevin Durant is one of them.
His teammate Westbrook is also one of them, as Westbrook, who only entered the All-Star for the first time this year, was successfully selected to the best team after reaching the finals this year, although it is only the second team, but he can squeeze out Derrick Rose, which shows how optimistic many experts are about him.
Of course, it is more likely to be optimistic about the future of cooperation between the three young Thunder teams.
Either way, though, it's now certain that Westbrook has managed to become a superstar who has lived up to his talent this season.
And then there's Tyson Chandler.
He was also selected for three teams.
In this era when the center is gradually dying, his successful selection to the third team can actually be regarded as providing a direction for the future No. 5 position in the league.
A blue-collar center like him is bound to become a trend in the future.
No matter how the current trend is, now the tactics of the whole team are more and more dependent on the outside line, which is the general trend, so for such a general trend, these players who do not have the deterrent power of O'Neal can only become blue-collar workers.
Wasn't that how the big forward was defined back then?
It wasn't until Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and Nowitzki emerged in the league that the definition of power forward changed radically.
It's just a pity that this year's Tyson Chandler still didn't win the Best Defensive Player award, which is a pity, but for Tyson Chandler, being able to make up for it in the third team can be regarded as making up for this regret.
In addition, what also caused heated discussions was that some people on this list were not selected, such as Griffin, as the most representative person of the new generation of big forwards, finally failed to enter the forward position, which made many fans regret.
But seriously, after the league grouped both small forwards and big forwards, the competition for this position is a competition for two positions together, and in this "small forward era", it is really not that simple for some new generation of power forwards to enter the rankings.
Similarly, the disappearance of some names also made fans sigh, and seriously, no one would have thought that Tim Duncan would leave the list one day!
