1. "Basketball Emperor": wilt chamberlain
Speaking of NBA, it's hard to forget someone, and you shouldn't forget him. He is wilt chamberlain, who is known as the "basketball emperor". This guy with a height of 2. 16 is nicknamed "stilts". If Russell's 1 1 championship ring is the Lord of the Rings, few people know that Chamberlain has an NBA record, and it is no exaggeration to give him the title of king of records. What puts him in the first place is not the magic of his single game 100 points, nor the professional basketball champion who won the championship in 14 season/1times, nor the surprise of 55 rebounds in a single game, nor the NBA basketball record of 23,942 rebounds.
The reason is that he has another record that makes us rank him first, that is, in the season of 196 1- 1962, it seems that the iron man Chamberlain has forgotten the feeling of fatigue. He played 79 games for 48 minutes in 80 games throughout the season, with no rest at all. What is even more incredible is that Chamberlain's average playing time this season has reached an incredible 48.5 minutes because of overtime in some games. Of course, this also benefited from another record: he set a career record of 1045 games being sent off.
Second, "Postman": karl malone-regret in glory: championship ring
Karl malone ranked second because in his career, 18 played 82 games in one season, only missed 1 game in six seasons and missed two games in two seasons. Although another iron man record in NBA is 1 192 games held by A.C. Green, Malone is more worthy of the title of the first tough guy in NBA career. Of the 10 games in which Malone was absent, 6 were suspended.
From April 22, 1989 to March 22, 2002, Malone never missed an NBA game because of injury. From this perspective, you can say that Malone was healthy throughout the 1990s! This seems incredible. It should be more accurate to say that Malone insisted on playing even though he was injured in the 1990s. His total score ranks second in the NBA, and he is fully capable of surpassing Jabbar to rank first, but he chose to retire, averaging 25 points 10. 1 rebound.
However, Malone also had regrets because of his persistence. On October 3rd, 2002/KLOC-0, Utah played against the Sonics. Malone insisted on playing with the flu, but for the first time in his career, he tasted the taste of not getting a point. Malone recalled: "I shouldn't have played that game." This is the only game in my career that I need to say this. " Now I understand the difference between playing with injuries and doing stupid things. You shouldn't do stupid things. This is a kind of balance. "
Third, "Big Left": Alenzo Mourning-the tough guy Mourning helped the Heat dream the championship.
165438+20031On October 25th, the New Jersey Nets announced that Allen Zomonen, a tough guy in NBA, would be forced to end his basketball career prematurely because he needed a kidney transplant! Rod Thorne, chairman and general manager of Nets, said: "Alenzo is a real fighter. He is confident to overcome his illness and hopes to return to the NBA, but unfortunately his body does not allow him to continue his basketball career. He will continue to fight against the disease. Let's pray for him. "
In 2000, after playing 13 games in a Heat jersey, he had no choice but to announce his retirement from the whole season because of kidney function treatment. No one expected that in 2006,5438+0-02, Mourning could regain his glory and be selected as an All-Star in 75 games. Just as fans were crying for his return from illness, the doctor's re-diagnosis report to Mourning was even worse: renal failure worsened. After treatment, Mourning represented the Nets in the first 12 games of the 2003-04 season, and then fell down again. And the previous scene.
From June 5438 to February 65438 to September 2003, Mourning received a kidney transplant from her relatives, and the operation was very successful. On1October 29th, 2004, 10, mourning magically re-appeared for the NBA. In pursuit of the championship, he came to the Heat to fight side by side with Shaq. When Shaq was injured in the regular season, he stepped forward. The 36-year-old kidney transplant hero averaged 1 1.7 points and 7 1 rebounds, which was definitely not lost to those younger generations. It is worth noting that he actually made technical statistics on shooting percentage (59.8%) and blocked shot (3.75). In the playoffs and finals of the Heat, whenever a shark is troubled by a foul, he can always prop up the Heat insider with tough defense and airtight cover. Strong dunks, waving fists, loud shouts and passionate fighting spirit helped the Heat win the first championship trophy in history, and also fulfilled their championship dream. He is worthy of the title of the third iron man, with passion, strength and perseverance, and is a real tough guy in a sense.
Fourth, "Iron Blood Power Forward": A.C. Green-consecutive appearances 1 192 times.
A.C. Green, known as Iron Man, can rank fourth because he has a record worthy of the title of Iron Man: continuous appearances 1 192 times. 6' 9 "Green was selected No.23 by the Lakers in the draft of 1985, and played for the Lakers, Suns and Mavericks successively. His record also began with the Lakers coached by1986165438+10/0/9 Riley. From 1985 to 1990, he played for the Lakers at 1997 165438.
5. "Red Iron Man": johnny cole-ranked third in NBA history with 844 consecutive games without absences.
Johnny cole was ranked as the fifth iron man because he ranked third in NBA history with a record of 844 consecutive games without absences. His nickname is "Red". Because he played in the NBA from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, his appearance rate after 50 years is very small, which is why most young fans don't know him. From 1954 to 1965, Johnny Cole played 844 games in a row, and none of them were absent, setting a record for consecutive games in the league. According to NBA convention, any player who can set a record for consecutive games will be called "Iron Man".
6. "Flying Man": Michael Jordan-If you want to find a player who is most qualified to speak for basketball, it must be Jordan.
Speaking of basketball, we must mention Michael Jordan, because basketball has developed to this day, and if we want to find a player who is most qualified to speak for basketball, it must be Jordan. As we all know, Jordan has an extraordinary scoring ability. Jordan once became the NBA 10 scoring champion; Of these 10 times, seven were winning streaks-both of which ranked first among all players in NBA history. The first one was won in 1986- 1987. At that time, he was 24 years old and scored mainly by his amazing physical talent. The tenth place was won in the season of 1997- 1998. At that time, he was 35 years old, and he scored mainly by his precise jump shot and various attacks. As many NBA records as Jordan, perhaps only Chamberlain can match him.
It is no exaggeration to list Jordan as Iron Man. No matter where he ranks, it will not affect his position in the hearts of fans. If you have to ask why, in short, there are two points that can prove his title of Iron Man:
First, Jordan once ranked first in the league in playing time for three consecutive seasons, second only to Chamberlain's record of five consecutive times, and scored more than double digits in 842 consecutive games, setting an NBA historical record.
Secondly, NBA fans will never forget the scene when Jordan came on the court sick. That was before the fifth game between Bulls and Jazz in the 1997 finals. Jordan had a bad flu. Just when everyone thought that Jordan would not play, Pippen almost carried the flying man away with his strong will, but he still scored 38 points and 7 rebounds, helping the Bulls beat the Jazz, rewriting the total score to 3-2, and then winning six games in a row at home.
Seven, "Jabbar": Jabbar-the perfect "Jabbar"
If the nickname "Jabbar" comes from his elegant and sharp sideways hook shooting, then another nickname "Evergreen Tree" is to explain his magical state and iron man quality. 1989 when Jabbar fought in the NBA for 20 years and bid farewell to basketball at the age of 42, there was no second player in the history of basketball who could dominate the basketball court in such a wide range of fields for such a long time. He ranked first in the NBA with nine main data. The total score is 38,387 points, which is more than 7,000 points higher than the second-ranked Chamberlain; * * * played 20 NBA seasons; Scored 5762 points in the playoffs; Six most valuable player titles; 57,446 minutes of playing time; Participate in the 1560 game; 28307 shots, 15837 hits and 3 189 blocks.
Although some records have been broken by later generations (such as blocked shots), the total score is 38,387 points, the total participation time is 57,446 minutes, and the total participation times 1.560 games are still unattended. As for the honors he has won in his 20-year NBA career, fans talk about them, which are beyond the reach of many professional athletes: Best Newcomer Award, 6 NBA championships, 6 NBA Most Valuable Player Awards, 19 NBA All-Star Games, 2 scoring champions, 8 NBA playoff records and 7 all-star records.
197 1 when he changed his religious belief from Catholicism to Islam and changed his original name to Karim Abdel-Jabbar, which is what we know now. 1980, which means "mighty hero", Jabbar and Magic Johnson formed a famous golden combination in the history of the Lakers and NBA. In the five years of 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988,
Eight, "General": john stockton-fantastic passing and assists.
When John stockton's 12 jersey was retired in Salt Lake City, we knew what loyalty was. Behind the loyalty of 19, we see an iron man who participated in 1504 games in his career. You won't like stockton if you don't have any age, enough knowledge of NBA and the feelings of a real fan. 1.85 meters of white, no fancy movements or dunks, 19 identical shorts, a face of car-scrapping ... people who have never seen him play will never understand why such people have achieved so much.
Stockton was born on1March 26th, 962. He was elected NBA assists king for nine times in a row, NBA All-Star Team for nine times, 1993 All-Star MVP, 1992 and 1996 Olympic gold medals. He is the best passing expert in NBA history and the most elusive stealing expert. 15086 assists and 3265 steals ranked first in NBA history. 19 has always been loyal to Utah jazz, and together with the postman Malone, it has become a black and white double evil spirit that scares all opponents, and "pick and roll" has become a permanent classic. It is a result that many fans like to list the gold partner who has played with the longest time in the NBA as Iron Man.
Randy smith-The record of consecutive appearances stayed at 906 games.
1On March 3rd, 983, randy smith's record of consecutive appearances stopped at 906 games, breaking the record of 844 consecutive appearances held by the then NBA record holder johnny cole in Buffalo, San Diego, Cleveland and new york. It was 14 years later, 1997,165438+1October 20th when Mavericks AC- Green broke his record. Unfortunately, the image information of 1978 all-star game MVP was not found. I really can't think of anyone who can replace him!
X. "answer": allen iverson-an indomitable fighter.
Finally, I really want to choose an iron man among the active guards. Who is it? Answer? Yes, that's answer number three of the Philadelphia 76 ers. If you are an NBA fan, you must know him. Although many people don't like Iverson, I chose him, not only because of his aloof personality and indomitable spirit, but also because he is a fighter who never gives up!
Thirty years ago, the official symbol of the NBA was the dribbling posture of the Jerry West Academy; Twenty years ago, it became a man next door, Johnson, who smiled like a magician. /kloc-upgraded to Michael Jordan's elegant taste and style 0/0 years ago ... Now, it is no longer the image of a superstar, but a culture: rebellious personality, loose clothes, graffiti tattoos, full pigtails ... If you have to find a spokesperson, Iverson may be a good choice.
Iverson's lightning speed forced him into the restricted area, making him extremely vulnerable. In the 10 years since he joined the NBA, Iverson Jr. has repeatedly forgotten the doctor's advice. Even though half of his body is scarred, he still leads the team forward bravely. It is his tenacity that has won him the respect of countless fans. I can't forget that in the final of 200 1, he was injured 13 times all over his body, including his shoulders, knees, fingers, ankles and even his head, almost everywhere, but he could still fight and win. Isn't this indomitable spirit and indomitable fighting spirit a sign of an alternative iron man?
