Chapter 565 More and more interesting
Shaquille O'Neal had a great time after retiring.
Joined TNT to become a commentator, very popular with fans, and he also organized and planned many programs, the most famous of which is the five big embarrassments.
Every week, O'Neal edits the players' mistakes on the court and makes them into funny material, which attracts the attention of many fans.
This time regarding the ranking of power forwards, O'Neal also invited several people to participate.
"Hi everyone, I'm Shaq O'Neal. Recently, the issue of the ranking of power forwards in the league has attracted a lot of attention. Today we are here to invite the deadliest superstars in the league, and let them chat with you about their own judgments on power forwards."
O'Neal has a wide network and invited Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley and Qin Yang.
Among the five, Qin Yang was the only active player and the one who caused disputes.
Charles Barkley spoke first:
"I think Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett are better. They have a tenacious will and excellent confrontation. In our era, the two of them can play again, and the others are hard to say."
Charles Barkley and O'Neal advocate confrontation.Because the two were the strongest centers against each other in that era. In his peak period, O'Neal squeezed his back, turned around and dunked directly, which no one could do.Charles Barkley's large number of ghosts is even more famous throughout the league.
But Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith disagree.
Reggie Miller:
"The problem of confrontation intensity is not reflected by whoever shouts loudly or who dares to play hard inside. Nowitzki's performance at critical moments is equally good, so I think Nowitzki should be ranked after Duncan, and a single core leads the team. Nowitzki is the only one."
Kenny Smith agrees, Nowitzki is ranked low.
The ranking of O'Neal and Charles Barkley is Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Gasol.
The rankings of Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith are Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett, Gasol.
Their question is about the ranking of Nowitzki and Garnett. As for Duncan and Gasol, there is not much doubt.
But when Qin Yang came here, Qin Yang raised a question:
"I have one biggest doubt, what do you use to judge the status of these four people?"
"honor!"
"data!"
"On-court performance."
"OK, let's talk about it. When it comes to honors, it is usually the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals. In this data, Tim Duncan is undoubtedly the first, even if Tony Parker and Ginobili are credited. After that, it should be Dirk Nowitzki, then Gasol and Garnett."
"In terms of honors, the best team of each season, the best defensive player and so on can explain a lot of problems, but this thing must be explained with the average data and performance on the field. Regarding this point, the record and data are the most convincing. Don't you think so?"
Qin Yang started to go around in circles, making the others follow his own pace.
There's nothing wrong with that.
All four nodded.
"Tim Duncan's average data and performance on the field need not be said. When he retires, he should become the greatest power forward in NBA history. There is no one. Sir Charles, do you have any opinions?"
Qin Yang looked at Charles Barkley, and everyone else laughed.
In the power forward position, the superstar in NBA history must be Charles Barkley, because his statistics and performance are so outstanding.
Charles shrugged in agreement.
"Our opinion lies in Nowitzki, Garnett and Gasol, so let's take a look at the regular season data and playoff data of the three."
"This is the regular season data and playoff data of the three from 02, as well as the team's record."
"From the perspective of statistics alone, Nowitzki is the best among the three. Nowitzki has excellent regular season statistics and even better playoff statistics, and the team record is even better among the three. On the other hand, Garnett and Gasol are different."
"Many people generally believe that Garnett's peak period was in the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves at that time had such a poor record that it was jaw-dropping. If a core leader is so weak, I really can't agree that he is a superstar, let alone a historical superstar."
"Pau Gasol was also questioned. But aside from this, Nowitzki is among the three, and his defense is average, but his offense is undoubtedly the strongest, and his average per game record is the best. Three years ago, he led the team to win the championship with a single core. I think after reading the statistics, there is no problem with ranking Nowitzki second."
Charles Barkley and Shaq O'Neal were stunned when they heard this.
Charles: "Wait a minute, Bruce, there is a problem with what you say. Garnett's role on the court cannot be reflected by statistics."
"So? You mean, in the seasons when Garnett's data was the best, he averaged 25+5+5 per game, but the team's record was poor, and the data of the Big Three dropped sharply when the Celtics teamed up. Instead, his role was highlighted?"
Qin Yang responded with a smile.
There is no way to answer this question.
When the data is good, the team's record is poor, and when the data is poor, the team's record is better. Of course, there are factors of the team lineup, but fundamentally speaking, it is still a question of the ability to lead the team.
No one can hide this.
"Therefore, I rank Nowitzki second only after Duncan. If Duncan is not too good, Nowitzki may be the best power forward in NBA history. His offense is unsolvable as a power forward."
Qin Yang couldn't help admiring.
All four fell silent.
"Next, let's look at Paul Gasol and Kevin Garnett. Regarding these two people, there is a very interesting question. If you want to choose teammates, would you choose Kevin Garnett or Paul Gasol?"
Qin Yang avoided the strength of the two, but asked such a question,
"Of course, the opinions of you retired old guys are not important, so how about we do a test?"
"How to test?"
O'Neill asked, and the show became more and more interesting, beyond the imagination of others.
If this goes on, this show will definitely be popular.
"It's very simple, Shaq O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, each of the five of us finds an active perimeter player we are familiar with, calls them, and asks them who they prefer to partner with Kevin Garnett or Pau Gasol?"
"good idea!"
Shaquille O'Neal nodded immediately.
Others have no opinion.
The show is getting more and more interesting.
