Need the detailed introduction and comments of the 96 golden generation.

With a flick of a finger, 10 years passed in a hurry. Those young boys who were full of youth in those days have now become the mainstay of each team and join hands in the entire NBA league. Every time we look back on the far-reaching draft event in 1996, we can't help feeling deeply. It is not uncommon for several people in the same rookie to make a name for themselves, but it is almost unprecedented for a 96 th rookie class to collectively create a big scene. First, let's take a look at what this year's superstars have brought us-

1, Kobe Bryant, Lakers

This is an era of calling for heroes, and Kobe's single-game score of 8 1 just caters to people's needs. From the day of 65438+20061October 22nd, Kobe's historical position was unshakable, and "Air Jordan" was no longer an unreachable goal for him. With the aura of "Mr. Youngest 16000", he has three championship diamond rings, and has been elected as an all-star starter for eight times. He is a frequent visitor to the best lineup and the best defensive lineup ... A series of heavy honors are dazzling. What can you tell me about Kobe's achievements besides using "myth"?

2. Allen Iverson, 76 people.

10 years ago, the bold choice of 76 people was regarded as gambling. 10 years later, "the answer" became the symbol of Philadelphia. At that time, "I'm not afraid of Jordan!" His declaration is still ringing in my ears, and now he also needs to meet the challenges of the new players on the field. As the shortest MVP in NBA history, Iverson completed the transformation from a rebellious youth to a national hero in 10 years. Holding a bronze medal on the podium of the Athens Olympic Games touched the whole United States.

3. steve nash, Suns

When Cuban, the "crazy boss", decided to give up Nash in the summer of 2004, he never imagined that this point guard, who was over 30 years old, could actually set off a bigger storm in the league. The "Sun whirlwind" in 2004-05 season made Nash the fourth player in the history of the league to win the MVP trophy as a point guard, and naturally won the title of "the first point guard in the league".

4. Ray Allen, supersonic.

In the photo of Zhang Zhengui, Allen sat quietly in the corner, but the murderous look in his brow was aggressive. He first became the leader of the "Three Musketeers" in Milwaukee, and then created a dark horse miracle at supersonic speed by his own efforts. Five-time All-Star, 0 1 3-point champion, member of "Dream Team 4" ... not earth-shattering, but enough to dominate one side.

5. Jermaine ONeal, walker

He used to be the youngest player in NBA history. Xiao Ao's four years as a pioneer only confirmed the idiom "encouraging young people to grow up". Fortunately, after moving to Indiana, he finally shattered people's doubts and accusations with his actual performance. In the second season after joining the Pacers, he produced a report card close to "20- 10" and won the 0 1-02 most advanced player trophy. Then he was elected as an all-star four times and became one of the most intimidating inside superstars in the East.

6. Steven Marbury, Knicks

Marbury wouldn't have been criticized as much as he is now if it weren't for last season's rant that "Laozi is the best in the world". This individual defender seems to be a lone star. As soon as he made his debut, he was dubbed the "lone wolf" and traveled to Minnesota, New Jersey and Phoenix. Until he returned to his hometown of new york, he was still regarded as a selfish spokesman by the world, but his excellent personal skills were undeniable. It was Marbury and Iverson who shot at the 0 1 All-Star Game and the 2004 Olympic Games at the same time, which made the East Star team and Dream Six team reverse.

It is worth mentioning that Ben Wallace was not favored in this year's draft, but he finally joined the then Washington Bullets as a free agent in 1996. If you count the three "best defensive players", the quality of the' 96 golden generation will undoubtedly be even more amazing!

There has never been a word "perfect" in the world. The existence of Kobe Bryant, Iverson and Nash does not mean that everyone in the "golden generation" in 1996 has full colors. Kobe didn't get a big bargain from the Lakers until he was ranked 13. In front of him, including Kittles, Dampier and samaki walker, they are all "famous, but really hard to compare". Finally, let's re-examine the rookie in the lottery area and see who is fooling around-

1, lorenzen wright (No.7), grizzly bear

Strong insider is always the object of NBA team's fanatical pursuit. In the draft, as long as you have both height and weight, OK, just wait for a pen to sign the contract. After being selected as the seventh overall pick by the Clippers, Wright's performance has been lackluster, and the rookie's best performance in the first three years was only 9.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, which really answered the old saying, "It's a pity to eat tasteless." There are talented players like Kobe Bryant and Nash who are not selected. Obviously, it is not a mistake for 1998 to choose olowokandi as the number one scholar.

2. Retired Cory Kittles (ranked eighth)

If Kittles could take the time to watch Hamilton's videos, his career might not be so mediocre. This well-proportioned and accurate shooting guard averaged 16.4 points and 1.9 1 steals in the rookie season, but he has been going downhill since then. In the 2004-05 season, he played 1 1 game on the Clippers and was swept out of the house, averaging only 6.3 points per game. At that time, the Nets had given up Kobe for him, and now it seems that it can only be explained as a matter of eyesight.

3. samaki walker (No.9) is unemployed.

Walker is simply Swift's chunky version. His offensive skills are very rough. He has no scoring means except dunking and throwing cricket at the basket. He is always reckless in defense and often fouls in a few minutes. The best period of his career was with the Lakers. At that time, he got 102 starting opportunities in two seasons 136 regular season games, but the average number per game was only "5-5". Fortunately, he followed the OK group and became the only player in the top 96 draft 10 to wear the champion diamond ring. People can't help but think: Walker and Kobe are both 96 generations, and the gap is so big!

4. Eric Dampier (No.10), calf.

When Dampier is mentioned, people will naturally think of his grandiloquence of "I am the second center". However, no matter how loud the cowhide blows, the statistics will still reveal the stuffing. The peak of Dampier's career was in the 2003-04 season. At that time, he averaged 12.3 points 12.0 rebounds per game and sent 1.85 blocks per game, which fascinated Mavericks owner Cuban and attracted him at a high price. I thought I had found the only magic weapon to deal with O 'Neill, but I didn't expect this "second center".

5. Todd Fuller (number 1 1) has disappeared.

Who is Fowler? It is not surprising that most fans are confused about this issue. As early as 0 1-02 season, the center with a height of 2m 1 1 has faded out of the NBA. During his five years with Warriors, Jazz, Hornets and Heat, Fowler had only 18 starting experience, averaging only 3.7 points and 3 rebounds per game.

6. Vitaly Potapenko (No.12), Kings.

10 years ago, the status of international players was far from as high as it is now, but the Cavaliers were willing to risk the world to choose this Ukrainian, which shows how amazing the potential of Potapanko was at that time. Now, however, it can only be said that the choice of his knight's vision is very problematic. In the career of 10, Potapanko averaged only 10 points in the 99-00 season, and only 2.8 points in this season.

On the big stage of NBA, not everyone has the opportunity to stand in the center of the stage and be cheered and sought after by fans. For more players, they can only do their job in obscurity, which is a flash in the pan and then forgotten by the world in an unknown corner. In the "golden generation" in 1996, there were also many successful supporting roles, and "Mr. 0.4 second" Fisher was one of the most well-known representatives. Next, let's take stock of the "model walk-on" in the rookie of the year-

1, Derek Fisher, Warriors

1996 When the Lakers recruited Kobe Bryant and Fisher into the team at the same time, they didn't expect the latter to be as popular as the former. In the eyes of the Lakers at that time, Fisher was just a "small fish". However, to everyone's surprise, a few years later, if this "little fish" hadn't repeatedly put an arrow in the back in the key competition, I'm afraid the OK group would have been completely discredited, let alone "three consecutive championships". For a role player, what is the regret that he can reach the playoffs, the finals four times and the championship trophy three times in the middle of his eight-year career?

2. Malik Rose, Knicks

Ross was not selected until the 44th pick in the second round. Later, there were rumors of false height. However, during the Spurs' championship in 2003, the stout striker with a height of only 2.0 1 m was the most powerful inside help behind Duncan. Although his height is limited, Ross's offensive skills at the basket are excellent, and his "disturbing the war situation" kung fu is even better. Of all the players in the history of the Spurs, Ross ranked fourth with 73 playoff appearances.

3, Jerome Williams, retired

For Williams, the stadium is the battlefield. As long as he jumps off the bench and is put on the court by the coach, he will fight with his opponent to the end under the basket, which is why he got the reputation of "garbage dog". The four-and-a-half-year Pistons career taught Williams how to defend hard, and soon surfaced after joining the Raptors, becoming one of the most difficult inside experts. The only regret is that the "garbage dog" who has always been conscientious was finally swept out of the house by the Knicks with the "Amnesty clause".

4. moochie norris of the Hornets

Norris always catches the eye on and off the court, but he doesn't rely on superb technology, but always surprises people with his hairstyle and clothes. Although he has always been accused of "high salary and low energy", Norris can always win the hearts of fans quickly and become the "best mascot" on the bench. Being a substitute to achieve this state is probably the only one in the NBA. However, Norris also has a proud record. He played 274 games in a row, ranking fourth among active players.

5. Tony Delk, Piston

/kloc-during the 0/0 years, he changed eight masters, and everywhere he went, he was like a passer-by and never really integrated into the lives of local people. Delk has always been famous for his strong scoring ability in college, but because his height is only1.88m, he can only play point guard after entering the NBA, and his embarrassing position doomed his failure. However, for the player who only got the starting opportunity of 103 in 525 regular season games, 200 1 1 2 will definitely be unforgettable-he scored 53 points in the away game against Kings that day!

6. Jeff McInnis, Nets

The 37th place in the second round was only seen by the Nuggets, but it was quickly dismissed. It only won the Greek League for a while, and then returned to North America to play the CBA League. It was not until1June 65438+1October 999 that it was recalled to the NBA by the Wizards. Soon after, mcginnis was fired again and had to sign two short-term contracts with the Clippers for 10 days, finally gaining a foothold in the NBA again. Since then, his luck has changed. In the last season of the Clippers, he scored 14.6 points and 6.2 assists, and then successfully played the role of the right-hand man around James, the "Little Emperor".

The rookie of 1996 can be recognized as the "golden generation" by the world, not only because there are super-class superstars such as Kobe Bryant and Iverson in this rookie, but also because many players including Stojakovic, Walker and Ilgoskas have gradually gained a foothold in their respective teams and become an indispensable cornerstone of the team. Next, let's take stock of the "cornerstone" players of the 96 th generation one by one-

1, peja stojakovic, walker.

For this sharpshooter from Europe, fighting in the NBA is better than walking around. His movements are always so elegant, but he also bears the stigma of "weakness". He was elected as an all-star three times, won a three-point championship twice, and is even expected to win the MVP trophy in 2003-04! Because of Stojakovic's existence, Weber's position as "the king of kings" was shaken, and he could only end up in the distance.

2. marcus camby, Nuggets.

If it weren't for the lingering title of "Glass Man", Camby's position in this rookie is much higher than it is now, at least it should be commensurate with his status as a "second-yuan show". Endless injuries plagued Camby. Otherwise, with the title of "blockbuster king" and the experience of being the first to reach the finals, the gap between him and Iverson would not be as big as it is now. It is worth mentioning that Camby has been the "rebounding king" for the first three months of this season, but unfortunately-he was injured again.

3. King Sharif Abdul-Rahim

Rahim is an out-and-out "pathetic figure". Although the data is stable at the level of "20- 10" all the year round, he is a star player in Grizzlies, Eagles, Trailblazers and other teams, and has also been elected as an All-Star. However, he has played 723 regular-season games so far, but he has never been able to pierce the playoff window. The only honor to boast about is 2000.

4. Antoine Walker, Heat.

"Fat Toutuo" Walker has crossed a unique track in the NBA. He was once touted as the "new organization striker" after Pippen, and he was also called "Boston Gemini" with Pierce, and he was in full swing in the league. However, Walker's hobby of shooting three points and the embarrassment that he can only send 0.6 blocks per game are unbearable. Even the maverick coach Nelson finally loudly said no to Walker. He can only drift from place to place all the way and become a "comedian" teased by the world.

5. Zadrunas Ilgoskas of the Cavaliers

2 1 century is an era when the center is scarce, and considering the lack of pure insider in the 96th generation, the existence of this Lithuanian center is even more precious. Ilgoskas has a variety of offensive means, and at the same time, relying on his height of 2.26438+0 meters, he can build a solid barrier inside. He was elected as an All-Star twice and won the MVP of 1998. Yao Ming once said that he is most afraid of the three European centers, Sabonis and Divac, who have retired, and the only one who is still active is "Big Z".

No one can predict the future, so it is not unacceptable for Kobe to fall to 13. Although history cannot be tampered with, it is absolutely necessary for us to rearrange our seats for the past 96 golden generation. Let's take a look at the "Re-ranking of the 96th Generation" released by the American NBA Fans Association in 2003 (formerly 10).

1, Allen Iverson (1),-,with a vote rate of 32.4%.

2. Kobe Bryant (13), ↑, with a vote rate of 28.9%.

3. Ray Allen (5), writing, 9.4% of the votes.

4. Antoine Walker (6), leftist, with 8.7% of the votes.

5. Stephon Marbury (4), left, with a vote rate of 6.2%.

6. Jermaine ONeal (17), ↑, with 6.2% of the votes.

7. Charif Abdallah Shim (3), left, with a vote rate of 4. 1%.

8. Steve Nash (15), ↑, with a vote rate of 2.3%.

9. peja stojakovic (14), =, with a vote rate of 1.7%.

10, Cory Kittles (8), left, with a vote rate of 0.9%.

Looking back at this list now, we can't help laughing. Walker has now become a role player in the Heat, and Kittles was eliminated by the league early. 10 years is like a blink of an eye. We might as well give the most correct draft winner (top 10) according to the comprehensive performance of the' 96 Golden Generation in10:

1, Kobe (13), write

2. Allen Iverson (1), ↓

3. Steve Nash (15), =

4. Jermaine ONeal (17), =

5. Ray Allen (5),-

6. Stephon Marbury (4),

7. peja stojakovic (14), =

Marcus camby (2), ↓

9. Charif Abdallah Sim (3), ↓

10, Zadrunas Ilgoskas (20), =

Finally, let's choose the best lineup of the' 96 Golden Generation:

Forward: O 'Neill Jr.+Stojakovic. Austria attacked the city from the inside, and Stojakovic provided long-range artillery shells from the outside. The combination of the pacers' front line is both luxurious and practical, and no opponent dares to ignore this.

Defender: Kobe Bryant+Iverson. Xiao Ai's performance in Dream Team 6 has proved that he can be a point guard if he wants to, and Kobe's scoring ability is no less than Jordan's. At the same time, both players are famous for their tenacious defense. This combination of offensive and defensive backcourt will make the opponent's offensive and defensive afraid every time.

Center: Camby. As long as he is healthy, Camby is like a tiger going down the mountain under the basket. He can enter, attack and retreat. A stable mid-range jumper can also force the opposing center to clear the inside, creating a breakthrough space for Kobe Bryant and Iverson who are good at cutting.

Sixth person: Nash. Not only has a broad vision and perfect passing skills, but also can provide points for the team at critical moments. The existence of Nash undoubtedly gave this lineup a "double insurance."
