Center
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Ralph Sampson, Wilt Chamberlain, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone, George McCann, Willis Reid, Wes Unseld, Bill Wharton, Dave Cowens, Nate Thurmond, Hakeem Olajuwon.

⑴I mentioned earlier that Wharton might be squeezed out. Later, I thought about it. A player who has won all the top honors within a year and a half should not be removed from the Big [-] even if his peak is only a few years.If I can substitute these players, I would rather have Walton's brilliant year and a half than Ewing's mediocre elite career.

Once the list was announced, it immediately swept the media circle.

Everyone began to deliberate on the rationality of this list.

In the end, we came to two conclusions.

There are too many bastards in the first and second positions.

Excessive favoritism towards the core members of the Knicks dynasty.

14 centers are obviously not enough.

"The number one victim of the 50 biggest stars - David Robinson."

In terms of strength and honor, Robinson is definitely a candidate for the top [-], but for some reason, he lost the election.

Some people think that Louis doesn't like Robinson, so Robinson's loss has something to do with him.

This is really wronged Louis.

There are too many talents at the center position. In the case of similar personal data, everyone chooses the champion if there is a champion, and chooses the MVP if there is no champion.

In the end, it is actually a choice between Olajuwon and Robinson.

Olajuwon won the MVP in 1993. This top hard product seems to be more important in the eyes of voters than Robinson's outstanding performance in the Showtime2.0 era.

The media doesn't like Robinson because his personality is too soft.

Players don't like Robinson, because he is almost white except for his skin color. The difference from OJ Simpson may be that he is devout enough for his beliefs and has a good personality. Even if all black people in the United States are suspected of murder, he will be the first to be excluded.

This kind of personality that is fine for ordinary people does not work in the predominantly black NBA.

Players don't like him.

On the contrary, the coach representatives prefer Robinson, and Louis is the only exception.

So far, the mid-season drama has come to an end.

In the future, the legitimacy of Benjamin Wilson's throne will be greatly questioned, because the seven championships he won with the Knicks were won with six 50 superstars at their peak.

This is exactly why Louie believes that this year's Lakers need to win the championship.

However, whenever someone questions Wilson about this in the future, he will say: "There is another person who has also cooperated with the five top [-] superstars, but he did not win the championship."

After the selection, Louis had to go back and continue to lead the team.

Because the holiday has not yet started, the Lakers still need to play three games before the All-Star weekend.

The opponents are the Mavericks, Kings, and Bulls.

Of these three teams, only the Mavericks are considered a strong team, the Bulls are a weak team competing for the No.

In the game against the Mavericks, Barkley, who was in a bad mood, took them directly.

Before the league announced the top [-] list, Barkley thought he was stable.

Unexpectedly, he was no match for a "Debussy" in the end.

When Barkley learned that it was a man named "Debussy" who killed him, his first reaction was to wonder who "Debussy" was.

In the end, he was also forced to get to know the NBA star, but in his heart, he was not convinced.

Barkley's defeat is actually doomed, because his reputation is too bad.

Rodman almost missed out on the Big [-] because of his bad reputation, but if you really want to get to the bottom of it, that's just off the court.And Barkley is not only in trouble off the court, he is also unpopular on the court.

Whether it's an early failed Chicago career or a three-game losing streak in Portland, people have the impression of a loser.

So far in his career, the only resume that Barkley can single out is that he was a member of the Dream Team in 1992 and after being traded to the Clippers in the 1994-95 season, he changed his mind again and led the team that no one was optimistic about to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Barkley got the achievement of "eliminating Benj in the playoffs" faster than Jordan.

It's just that no one noticed it.

Now he has come to the Lakers with the title of ultimate loser.

If Jordan cooperated with all giants who could be teammates at the same time, Barkley hugged all the thighs of the same generation. If he still can't win the championship in the end, he will be a little heavier than Jordan in terms of loser weight.

The notoriety allowed Barkley to miss the Big Fifty.

With dissatisfaction with the world, Barkley killed the Mavericks.

That night, Barkley and Garnett demonstrated various cooperation between high and low positions inside.

First of all, they made it clear that Barkley was the main attacker and Garnett was the supporter. Then, they made a fuss about the former's high-post offense and low-post blast.

Barkley's shooting consistency will be an issue if he's going to play high and low.

He can shoot, but he's not Dirk Nowitzki's kind of player who can shoot dead people by shooting.At best, shooting is an auxiliary means in his entire offensive deterrence system, because his strength is extremely terrifying, carrying people to play in the inner muscle jungle, just like Mu Shenyi in "Slam Dunk".

But today, he seems to be affected by his personal emotions, and his overall state is full. On the contrary, Garnett's auxiliary skills are not enough.

Among the high and low positions that Louis has seen, the most extreme is not the Spurs twin towers in the previous life, but Bird and Sampson in this life.Because Sampson has developed a three-pointer, when he and Bird play a pick-and-roll, they can basically blow up the opponent's entire defense.

And Garnett has no awareness of shooting three-pointers yet.

Louis didn't rush to instill this concept in him, because he was still learning how to be a real insider. Early contact with the three-pointer would make his style of play more and more outside, which is no different from the original him.

No matter what era it is, the inside will always rely on the power of the inside to prove its dominance. Even Dirk Nowitzki, the most impressive scene in his career, was facing Bosh in the 2011 Finals.

The most inarticulate superstar in NBA history, Moses Malone, once said a famous saying that if you die inside, you must die at the basket.

That's the truth.

However, Louis does not directly affect Garnett's awareness of practicing three-pointers, but through various tactical arrangements, he can find that he still needs to improve those skills to better cooperate with Barkley.

Tonight, when Garnett was emptied beyond the three-point line, the ever-loud Garnett fell silent.

There have been many such silences.

Barkley didn't pass him the ball, and he didn't have a problem.

Because both of them know that there is no point in passing the ball.

At the end of the game, Barkley scored 48 points and 20 rebounds, leading the Lakers to a big victory over the Mavericks.

Louis joked in front of the reporters: "Tonight's Chuck is so powerful, I haven't seen such energy in him for a long time."

"Do you think the loss of the top [-] superstars has a great impact on Charles?"

"I think every star wants to be in it, Chuck is great, but he hasn't done enough so far for the judges to consider him one of the 50 Greatest, so he should stay angry and keep trying."

The next day, when Barkley weighed himself, he found that he had gained three pounds.

It turned out that it was because we played too hard last night, so I didn't control my mouth and ate countless donuts.

Louis was furious on the spot: "Just like you, you still complain all day long that others ignore you. Look at your weight. It would be really disgusting if you entered the Top [-] Fucking Stars!"
