What absurd statements have been made in the NBA?

When fans get to know a player, they are often one-sided. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Many comments are made by more people, and gradually everyone starts to believe them. This has resulted in the phenomenon of labeling. It is often difficult for stars to remove labels. The following five absurd statements were once widely circulated among fans. However, if you look deeper, you will find that each one is more outrageous than the last.

When James was young, his flying style of play worried fans. At that time, many fans questioned that James' style of play would no longer be good before he was 30 years old. But Lao Zhan has more than just talent. His increasingly sophisticated skills and strict self-management have made his condition better and better. Not only was he the number one player in the league at the age of 30, but now at 35, he is still one of the best stars in the NBA, making the younger generations look up to him and slapping those original fans in the face.

Nowitzki is very soft, which was the label on young drivers. A white star whose scoring is mainly based on shooting, has mediocre athletic ability, and is not a top-notch defender. He was even beaten eight times in the MVP season. Indeed, at that time it was hard for you to refute saying he was soft. But as time went on, Nowitzki proved just how tough he was. In 2011, Single-core led the Mavericks to win the championship, defeating the defending champion Lakers. In the finals, he even defeated the Heat's Big Three despite being sick. No one said he was soft anymore.

Curry has encountered a lot of prejudice in his career. From high school and college to entering the NBA, he was not favored because of his thinness. But is Curry really thin? During the physical test, he ranked first in the team in bench press, far better than Durant, and his jumping and speed data were also on par with Westbrook. Even now, when Curry takes off his clothes, he is still full of tendons. Although his talent is not as good as Westbrook, he is definitely not thin, but most fans have lost the impression.

We often hear fans say that Kobe’s talent is not good, but this is actually a ridiculous statement. Kobe's talent is not good. That is compared to monsters like Jordan and James. His physical test data is also S-level. His jumping, speed, explosive power, and even height, wingspan, strength and coordination are all top-notch in the league. He is definitely a talented player. . He became the slam dunk contest champion at the age of 18. His title of Peter Pan was due to his explosive playing style, especially when he was No. 8, which was called elegant.

Yao Ming is the most successful player in Chinese basketball, but when it comes to Yao Ming, many fans say that he relies solely on his height. With a height of 2.26 meters, Yao is indeed unappreciable in the world, but Yao's talent, hard work and skills are very strong. With such a height and weight, he has very good flexibility and athletic ability, his shooting touch is historically top-notch, and he has great footwork around the basket. He is skilled in hook shots, throws and other center skills, coupled with great diligence and self-discipline, Dayao's success is no accident. He is also a once-in-a-century prodigy who cannot reach this height just by relying on his height.
