BR ranked 5 reasons why Kobe failed to enter the top ten in history: Three consecutive championships are not the number one star, his peak period is short

The top 100 stars in history released by the US media in the past two days have caused heated discussions across the Internet. The list selected by experts, writers and editors is inevitably somewhat controversial, but the most shocking one is Kobe's position, which is only ranked 11th, and some even ranked him 18th. It is difficult to understand that Kobe did not enter the top ten, but the US media BR also listed 5 reasons to explain why Kobe did not enter the top ten.

1, peak period and ability durability

Kobe's total career score ranked fourth in history, second in history for the number of selected best teams, and third in history for the number of All-Stars. In the past two decades, Kobe has been one of the best players in the league, but not the best player.

Kobe has won the league MVP only once. His teammate O'Neal was considered the best player in the league in the early days. For a period of time, Duncan was also considered, and then James appeared. Curry also received this title before Kobe retired. They all had peaked in multiple seasons, and Kobe was not very long-lasting.

2. During the three consecutive championships, O'Neal was the team's number one star. There has never been a shortage of superstars in the past championship team. Jordan has Pippen, Magicians have Jabbar, Bird has McHale and Parish. Duncan has Parker, James has Wade, Curry has Durant, etc., but these players all dominate the low post.

Although Kobe was an absolute star in two consecutive championships, he was obviously the second-ranked second after O'Neal during his three consecutive championships. O'Neal is ahead of the strong team in terms of victory contribution, scoring, rebounding, blocking and playing time. Five championship rings are very important for Kobe's career legend, so it is inevitable to analyze who is the player who contributes the most.

3. Comparison between other figures in the history of the league and their

Since its establishment, many excellent and great players have been born. Players who can enter the top ten are considered the best in the league at their peak, and their state has lasted for several years, each with their own unique features.

Jordan won 5 MVPs and 6 FMVPs; James's historical scoring leader;

Jabbar has 6 MVPs and 6 championships; Magicians' history total assists;

Russell has 11 championships, O'Neal is Kobe's best player in his career;

Duncan has three FMVPs and two MVPs, and has been selected into the best team 15 times;

Bird won the regular season MVP for three consecutive years; Chamberlain averaged 30.1 points and 4 regular season MVPs in his career;

Curry is the first scorer in history. Although Kobe is great, he is still slightly inferior.

4. Among the active players, only James and Curry are ranked higher than Kobe. James has surpassed Kobe many years ago. After all, he has stabilized in the top two in history. James not only has the longest career in history, but has surpassed Kobe in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks per game, and has also higher three-point shooting percentage and shooting percentage.

Curry is the most controversial player and is also the player who squeezed Kobe out of the top ten. Curry averaged only 0.3 points less than Kobe, with significantly more assists, and the plus or negative value is 20 more. Curry's real hit rate is also far higher than Kobe. As the league progresses, some people even think Curry is better than James.

5. Ranking 11 does not mean belittling Kobe

The US media also believes that although Kobe ranks 11th, it cannot be considered that this is belittling him, because the career achievements of the players ahead of him are indeed too unbelievable, and Antetokounmpo and Jokic, who are behind him, are still at the peak and are recognized as one of the 11 best players in history. It is a great achievement for an iconic genius in the league.
