The "Four Heroes of Fengchen" have already achieved success and fame, so have they surpassed their own templates?

Many fans know that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Cameron Anthony and Chris Paul are collectively known as the "Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust", or the "Four Brothers of Banana Boat", but it is probably a bit vague about why they were called like this. In fact, this title originated from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In order to relax and find excitement, these three players of the same class came directly to the bathing center in Macau and ordered a one-hour Vietnamese technician service of 1,000 yuan. After the incident was exposed, domestic fans jokingly called them the "Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust".

At the same time, because Chris Paul and LeBron James had a good time, their wives were roommates in college, and it was later reported that the four of them rowed a banana boat together while on vacation in the Bahamas, so the fans added the innocent Chris Paul into it, calling them the "Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust" and the "Four Brothers of the Banana Boat". As for why so many fans are interested in the gossip news of the four of them, it is naturally because the four of them are very powerful. After all, only strong players will be paid attention to by fans. So, have these four superstars with good personal relationships surpassed their templates in the first draft and achieved success? Today, I will take you to take a look.

1.LeBron James

LeBron James's first draft pick, the scout report gave the player templates for Lakers' Elvin Johnson and Bulls' Scottie Pippen. To discuss whether LeBron James surpasses the two of them, first look at Scottie Pippen, who has a relatively low historical status in the NBA. As the "second leader in NBA history", Scotty Pippen has 6 NBA championships, 2 more than LeBron James, but there is no FMVP trophy, which has lowered the value of the championship. The two can only be said to be half a dozen in this regard; secondly, there is a number of regular season MVPs, with LeBron James having 4, but Scotty Pippen has no chance to win this award because he is in the same team as Michael Jordan. From a point of view, LeBron James has surpassed Scotty Pippen. Compared with "Magician" Elvin Johnson, LeBron James' advantage is a little smaller, because Elvin Johnson has all the advanced awards mentioned above, that is, Elvin Johnson won the 5th NBA championship, 3rd FMVP and 3rd MVP. The two can be said to be comparable. However, LeBron James' career length and condition retention are beyond the reach of other NBA players. During this period, he was selected for the All-Squad 13 times and achieved a total score of 40,000 points. In this regard, Elvin Johnson, who retired early, could not catch up, so in the end, LeBron James was slightly better, and could be regarded as a player template that surpassed his own.

2.Cameron Anthony

Cameron Anthony's draft template is George Gervin, the Spurs' "Iceman". As a super small forward who was "a little bit" with LeBron James in the first draft, Cameron Anthony's NBA career can be said to be completely opposite to LeBron James. At first, when LeBron James was still struggling to lead the playoffs, Cameron Anthony had already led the team to the playoffs and began to lead the way. Then the two led the team to the division finals one after another. In the NBA Finals, Cameron Anthony fell one step behind. As time went by, Cameron Anthony's development seemed to stagnate. When LeBron James won the championship with Dwyane Wade, he was still struggling for the playoffs. In the end, Cameron Anthony not only did not have high-level honors such as the NBA championship, but also had not been selected for a team of the NBA's best team, and only won the honor of the NBA scoring champion for one time. Therefore, compared with George Gervin, who was the first team of the 4th NBA scoring champion and the fifth NBA All-Team, although Cameron Anthony has a more famous reputation, he actually has not surpassed him.

3. Chris Paul

The original player template for Chris Paul was Isaiah Thomas. As we all know, Chris Paul has never won a championship. This is what makes him the most "criticized" by fans. Specifically, although he has the honors of 5 assists and 6 steals, he has never been ranked among the super point guards at the NBA history level for discussion. As for the "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, he has two NBA championships and one FMVP in hand, and his historical status in the NBA point guard has always been in the top five, so in general, Chris Paul, who has no championship in his career, has not really surpassed his own template.

4. Dwyane Wade

Compared with the first three, Dwyane Wade can be said to be the least favored by scouts, because his original draft template was only Steve Frances. Regarding Steve Francis, many domestic fans are probably very familiar with him. They know that he was the boss of the Rockets and had taken care of Yao Ming, but in fact, that's all. There is no NBA championship, no NBA best team, or even no team honors, only three NBA All-Star lineups, this is Steve Francis' career. Therefore, Dwyane Wade, who holds three NBA championship trophys and one FMVP trophy, has actually surpassed him a long time ago.
