Chapter 652: Generation 07 who took over the alliance
"Replace the Age Players to Officially Accept the League? 》
In the NBA, there has always been such a saying, called "84 Diamond Generation, 96 Gold Generation, 03 Platinum Generation!" ”
The reason why these three drafts are taken out separately is also very simple, that is, because the quality of these three drafts is very high, and many superstars have been born, taking the "84 Diamond Generation" as an example, there are "basketball gods" Michael Jordan, "big dreams" Olajuwon, Barkley, and Stockton...... These are all historical superstars who have been retired by the team, and there are countless stars of other levels.
It is also worth mentioning that Michael Jordan and Olajuwonga won 8 of the championships together, except for the championship of the year, the other 8 championships were won by these two guys, from here it can actually be seen how good this "diamond generation" is!
And the "96 Golden Generation" but in terms of the number of stars, it is more than the "84 Diamond Generation", such as Kobe, such as Allen Iverson, and then Steve Nash, Ray Allen, in addition to these four superstars, the "96 Draft" also has Marcus Camby, Marbury, Walker, O'Neal Jr., Big Z and other players who have entered the All-Star!
In terms of success rate alone, the 30 players with the first round in the entire 96 years basically did not have any parallel goods, and they all left a little footprint in the NBA more or less. For example, Dampier of the "second center in the West", and then "Marksman" Pejastojakovic, as well as super role players such as "Old Fish" Fisher......
It can be said that the first round of the entire "96 Golden Generation" is a group of guys of very high quality compared to the previous first round shows.
After the "96 Golden Generation", the league ushered in the "03 Platinum Generation", for the superstars that came out of this year are more familiar to today's NBA fans, LeBron James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh is one of the representatives, in addition to these 4 guys, the players who played in 03 are Chris Carman, Korver......
In short, from the point of view of quality alone, this session is the best performance after the "96 draft", and in the 08 All-Star Weekend, when LeBron James, Wade, Anthony and Bosh were selected for the All-Star team, many experts predicted that the players of the "03 Platinum Generation" will take over the league, but it is a pity that from the 08 years to the current situation, the superstars of the "03 Draft" did not have the last laugh in any of these seasons, The final winners in recent years are the Celtics, Lakers, Bucks, and Knicks, and none of the players who finally won the MVP of the Finals are guys from the "03 Draft"!
"We've been waiting for LeBron James to come to the throne, we're expecting Wade to be back on the Finals stage, we're hoping that Anthony can cash in on his talent, and Chris Bosh, I have to admit, they're in the Finals that's something I want to see!"
"But now, I think the future of the NBA may become a fantasy, and from the current situation, the league will usher in a new owner, a group of newcomers who belong to the '07 draft, and in their fifth year in the league, they are beginning to leave their mark on this league!"
ESPN published a special article, in which a new point of view emerged, and many experts believe that the group of talents who came out of the 03 draft is likely to be just a transition in this era, and this league belongs to the 07 class of guys in the future!
And there is a reason why they say this, just from this year's East and West finals, the "03" has a total of 3 people participating in the East and West finals, and the reason is well known, because LeBron James, Wade and Bosh are all in the same team, they either appear together, or they don't have to show up!
But even so, the number of players from the 07th draft meeting who appeared in the East and West finals exceeded the number of the 03 class, and the 07 class players included in the East and West finals included the first round No. 4 pick Yi Jianlian, the first round No. 2 Kevin Durant, and the first round No. 6 pick Mike Conley, and the second round overall 48th pick Mark Gasol, if it weren't for the Thunder team made a trade after the All-Star break, then the name of the first round No. 5 pick Jeff Green would have to be added to this list!
What's more, these 4 guys are the core of three of the teams, the core of the Knicks is Yi Jianlian, the core of the Thunder team is Kevin Durant, and the core players of the Grizzlies are Mike Conley and Marc Gasol!
"This is enough to show one thing, that is, when our eyes are still on whether the guys in the class of 03 can play at the same time, the talented newcomers of the class of 07 have adapted to the league and began to try to take over the league, I don't know how to say it, but one thing I have to admit, if there are no unexpected situations, one thing is for sure, that is, in the next few years, the finals will inevitably be impossible to lack the figure of the class of 07, and this started two years ago, But in the entire 03 class, except for Wade, who won the championship MVP, LeBron James entered the finals, and no one else touched the floor of the finals at all, which is a very interesting phenomenon, and one of the things that this phenomenon shows is that if the guys in the 03 class don't work hard, then this league really belongs to the 07 class! ”
……
ESPN's report also caused some discussion after the game, and many fans, as the article said, have been concerned about when the guys in the class of '03 will be able to play, and they don't notice at all that the guys in the class of '07 have grown to this point.
It was also after the reminder that everyone was a little surprised!
"I feel that the class of 07 has grown up very fast! It's only been a few years! These guys' teams will be able to knock out the other teams and make it to the final East and West finals! This kind of adaptability is really rare to see in other drafts, especially these 4 guys are the core of their respective teams, which is even more unexpected, it seems that this league is really going to be taken over by the class of 07, but it's a pity! When the '03 draft came out, everyone was so optimistic about these talents, but when they played in the NBA for seven or eight years, no one could rule the league! ”
