Chapter 321: Goat Jordan

The award of the best player of the month is still a little different from the award of the best of the week, and the time span of one month is not small, and the strength of the players who can win this award should not be underestimated.

But for Chen Zhi, this award really doesn't matter, how many people will pay attention to how many epoch-making players like Jordan, Kobe, and James have won the best player of the month? This honor is really not worth mentioning for them.

In Chen Zhi's heart, only getting the supreme championship ring in the basketball world, and leading the Mavericks teammates to get the championship ring, is the greatest honor.

Seeing Chen Zhi's extremely flat expression, Matthews couldn't help but shake his head, "Can you show a little respect for this award, I haven't won this award so far." ”

Chen Zhi looked at Matthews, who was pretending to be indignant, and smiled, ignoring his anger.

The second senior brother Delong just looked out the window and smiled when he heard this, the award of the best of the month is indeed still golden, and he has only won it once in his entire career, even if it is Nowitzki, it is only a few times.

Justin Anderson heard everyone discussing this topic, and also took out his mobile phone to read the relevant news reports, and after reading it, he couldn't help but squeak, "Westbrook saw this award, and probably had the idea of running to play in the East." ”

"Westbrook's statistic, an average of triple-doubles per game in November!" Curry Jr. saw that the award was given to Chen Zhi and James before, and the following report did not look closely, only to find out after a closer look that Westbrook's first 20 games turned out to be a luxury triple-double of 31.2 points, 11.3 assists and 10.5 rebounds!

No wonder Anderson would tease Westbrook for wanting to play in the East, if it weren't for Chen's 39 points, 14 assists and 9.7 rebounds, the Thunder might have won the Western Player of the Month award without any suspense, even if it is compared with James in the East, it will beat James to win the best of the month.

"Poor Westbrook." Curry Jr. couldn't help but feel a little gloating.

"Wait, a triple-double per game? Did he grab so many rebounds? Why haven't you seen much media coverage? Matthews was stunned.

He also pays attention to the league news from time to time, but basically doesn't notice the reports about it, and it is still very shocking to suddenly find that Westbrook is averaging a triple-double per game.

"Everyone's focus is on Chen Zhi, there are reports about Chen Zhi everywhere, if it weren't for this month's award selection, I'm afraid there are still many people who don't know that Westbrook has performed so well this season." Curry Jr. said.

After saying that, Curry Jr. couldn't help but shake his head again, and muttered again, "Poor Westbrook! ”

Chen Zhi's performance against the sky this season has overshadowed the brilliance of many stars, and under his performance, other stars have suddenly lost a lot of color.

The bus stopped in front of the hotel, and the Mavericks had already arrived in downtown Charlotte from the airport.

Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina.

However, even the largest city is still only a small city with about 2 million people in the entire metropolitan area, and it is another out-and-out small ball market.

The University of North Carolina and Duke University, the two most prestigious universities in the NCAA, are both in North Carolina, but compared to the brilliant achievements in college basketball, professional basketball is much bleaker.

The Charlotte Hornets, founded in '88 NBA expansion, after the first few years of struggle, successively used the top pick and the list pick to select "Big Mom" Larry Johnson and "Iron Man" Alonzo Mourning.

With these two talented players on board, the Hornets saw hope of rising and began to become a playoff team, but it soon ended when Mourning's conflict with the head coach was traded to the Heat.

Shortly thereafter, the Lakers traded for the Charlotte Hornets, and the Lakers had to clear the contract of their main center Divac in exchange for Kobe Bryant, a high school player selected by the Hornets No. 13 pick, in order to have enough space to bring in Big Shark O'Neal.

Divac and Glen Rice, who traded for Mourning, built a new Hornets framework, but that framework didn't last long.

Because soon after, the Lakers and the Hornets made another big trade, trading Eddie Jones, a starting point who didn't play well in the playoffs, to get Glen Rice, and after straightening Kobe, the OK pair began to sweep the league. Having won two championship puzzles from the Hornets, one of which is the cornerstone of the future, the Hornets can be called a friend of the Lakers!

The Hornets were still a playoff powerhouse under Jamal Marschben and Byron Davis, but the Charlotte Hornets briefly became history when the Hornets changed hands and moved to New Orleans in '02.

But Charlotte's professional basketball history soon continued after a short two-year period, with the emergence of the Charlotte Bobcats, who had made basketball gods laughing countless times.

In the short history of the Bobcats, the only player who can be called in the NBA is Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace, but he can only be called, and after a short period of peak, he quickly disappeared from everyone.

Jordan started out as a minority shareholder of the Bobcats, and Bob Johnson, the first black owner in NBA history, was the majority shareholder of the team.

However, the Bobcats suffered a poor record and lost money year after year, and finally the first black owner in NBA history had to sell the team, and finally held 89% of the shares of the Flyers, and the NBA owner's dream finally came true in 2010.

Soon the Bobcats gave Boss Joe a big gift, the lowest number of wins in a season in NBA history, with only 7 wins in the entire season! Jordan is almost synonymous with the worst boss.

The Clippers before Paul joined were undoubtedly the worst team in NBA history, and there was no one.

The Charlotte Bobcats are a team that rivals the Clippers, or even more, in the decade that the Bobcats have been named, the team has made the playoffs twice and has been swept out of both playoffs, without even winning a playoff game.

When the New Orleans Hornets decided to change their name to the Pelicans, Boss Joe couldn't wait to scrap the name Bobcat and revert to the Charlotte Hornets.

At the same time, the Charlotte Hornets also inherited the history of the Charlotte Hornets from '88 to '02. As for the history of the New Orleans Hornets after '02, it was inherited by the New Orleans Pelicans.

So there is a very interesting phenomenon, the Charlotte Hornets, become the only team in the league to have a break in team history.

After renaming back to Charlotte Hornets, the team seems to have really ushered in a turnaround.

They finished the playoffs with a 48-34 record in their second season, and that was after starting big man Michael Kidd Gilchrist's season was injured for the season.

And in this round of the playoffs, although the Hornets lost after seven big games, they won the only three playoff games in Boss Joe's boss career, which can be called a great credit.

The Hornets have had a difficult start to the season, and with the departure of Jeremy Lin, Courtney Lee and Al Jefferson, the Hornets have undoubtedly weakened their strength.

So far, the Hornets have a decent record, with a 10-8 record that far exceeds what the Hornets expected at the start of the season.

However, this team, led by Kemba Walker and Batum, is obviously unable to compete with the Mavericks!

All the attention of people on this team will always be drawn to the basketball god Michael Jordan.

Probably this is also an important reason why big-name players are reluctant to join the Hornets, in addition to teammates and opponents, they also have to steal the limelight with the team owner, especially the team owner is also the god of basketball! Can there be a chance of winning?

Michael Jordan has many nicknames, Black Panther, Flying Jordan, Gangmaster, Old Rogue and so on, but the nicknames that best show Jordan are Goat, Goat, Greatest of all time, Best ever!

He averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in his career.

Even a player who can reach that number in a season will undoubtedly become a superstar, but that's Jordan's career average per game.

This data may not be shocking enough, after all, most of today's fans have grown up watching James play, and James's 27.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists are not inferior to Jordan's, and even look more versatile than Jordan, at least in terms of rebounding and passing ability, James should be stronger than Jordan.

But that's not the case, and perhaps fans who are used to James, the first man of our generation, will not believe that Jordan's ability to James is an all-encompassing victory.

Needless to say, the difference in scoring ability can be said to be a chasm.

Jordan averaged 1.6 frontcourt rebounds per game out of 6.2 rebounds, while James only had 1.2 frontcourt rebounds out of 7.3 rebounds!

Just as the Eight Wise Kings were able to get a big contract, frontcourt rebounding is the true essence of rebounding ability, although it is only a gap of 0.4 per game, Jordan's rebounding ability can be said to be more than James.

You must know that Jordan is a pure scoring guard, James, as a small forward, has played the power forward position for a long time, and even played the center for a short time, and he is closer to the basket than Jordan, and Jordan's rebounding content is undoubtedly higher.

As for the assist ability, it is estimated that fans will generally think that James is stronger, after all, Jordan is a relatively unique player like Kobe.

But look at Jordan's stats against the Lakers in the '91 Finals.

In a 4-1 win over the Lakers, a total of five games, Jordan averaged 11.4 assists per game while scoring 31.2 points on nearly 56% shooting!

The most famous player in the NBA before Jordan was Magic Johnson!

It can be said that the early part of Jordan's career, especially before he won the championship, was spent in comparison with Magic. The media questioned his solitary style of play for not being able to make his teammates better and lead the team to victory.

So in the first step of the Bulls' dynasty road, when facing the Magic-led Lakers in the Finals, Jordan averaged 11.4 assists per game, and there were many wonderful assists that could be called wonderful.

It's a pity that James, who is known for assists, has never handed over this statistic in the Finals!

You know, the Bulls play a triangle offense, and a lot of the time the ball is the axis player, or Scott Pippen.

And James has always been a point guard at the small forward position, even with an All-Star point guard partner like Irving, the ball is still in James' hands.

Isn't Jordan good at assists?

It's just an illusion!

James' assist ability is stronger than Jordan's, which is even more of an illusion!

The difference is only whether the old rascal is willing to do it or not!

Whether it is scoring, rebounding, or assisting, Jordan is not weaker than James at all, and even has a lead in all directions!

But that's not all Jordan is all about!

In addition to points, rebounds, and assists, there are also steals and blocks.

Jordan is a three-time NBA steal king, averaging 2.35 steals per game, the third in the entire NBA history! And James averaged 1.8 steals per game, and the highest season was only 2.3, which did not even reach the average level of Jordan's career per game, so it can be said that the gap with Jordan is very obvious.

James' blocking ability is always above Jordan's! After all, Jordan is only 198 cm, while James is over 203 cm tall. James is very famous for his blocks, while Jordan is not very famous for his blocks.

Maybe James' blocking ability is indeed above Jordan's?

But James averaged 0.8 blocks per game, and Jordan also had 0.8, which is not inferior.

You must know that Jordan's era was the era when center was prevalent, and now it has entered the era of small ball, and the team's height on the court is much lower than at that time!

How is this possible! Jordan is not even inferior to James in blocks!

However, this is not all, in addition to the basic five data, the ability to control mistakes is now more and more important, and it can be said that it is the sixth largest data.

Jordan averaged 2.7 per game! James averaged 3.6 per game!

This may be the negative effect of James holding the ball for too long, but it is true, Jordan's mistakes are better controlled than James!

How could anyone be so much stronger than James!

Maybe no one is really so much better than James!

It's a pity that Jordan, the god of basketball, is indeed stronger than James beyond people's imagination! And Jordan's various data are still obtained when he has been seriously delayed for two years after returning after the age of 38, and it can even be said that without his advanced age, Jordan's average blocks per game will be above James.

6-time NBA Championship, 6-time FMVP.

5-time MVP, 10-time scoring champion, 3-time steal champion, 1-time Defensive Player of the Year!

10 All-Team and 9-time All-Defensive Team.

Maybe Jordan's honors don't need to be listed, just to simply say, except for the best sixth man, rebounding king and assist king, Jordan has all the NBA individual honors, and there are so many of them that they are outrageous!

Six finals, six championships, six FMVP!

And as the most dominant player of our generation, James has won only three of his seven trips to the Finals.

Jordan's powerful dominance is simply eye-catching!

It's a pity that James fell behind in the comparison with Jordan, but being able to compare with Jordan is already the best indication of his strength.

And Kobe, as Jordan's most fanatical imitator, has also achieved countless glory, but in terms of personal strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to beat James.

Kobe Bryant and James, respectively, dominated the players in the last two decades of the twentieth century, Kobe Bryant has the spirit closest to Jordan, and James has the closest physique to Jordan.

Perhaps only when these two people become one, it is possible to shake the past and the present like the god of basketball.

This is Jordan the Goat, the best player of all time!

Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan appeared at Time Warner Cable Arena, and now he is already bloated, but God's will is still proud of the entire basketball world, whether it is Kobe Bryant or James, when fans claim to have surpassed themselves, they will only smile lightly, and compare them in ten years!

However, the young man who appeared on the court tonight made Jordan feel that the god of basketball may really have an opponent!
