Pippin as the league recognized history of the strongest two, after retirement still did not fade from the public view, and often as a basketball column guests appear on television. Recently, Pippin once again threw out a surprising statement, saying that James, if placed in the league history of all players in the scope of the draft, is not eligible to be elected first prize. So in Pippin's mind, which players have a chance to be elected first prize?

Fifth: Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson was selected by the Lakers in 1978 as a first-round pick and played dominantly in his rookie season, helping the Lakers win the championship that season, and Magic was elected Finals Most Valuable Player with outstanding performance. The Magician's open career start surprised people at that time, and the Magician also lived up to the expectations of the people on the field to spill their talent, and Bird together with the league opened the era of the magic bird to fight for supremacy. Magician as a point guard but has the height of the front line, can be said to be the league's first generation of BUG. This height did not affect his control and passing level, but gave him the traditional point guard no field vision, superb physical talent and very high basketball IQ achievement of the league generation of gods. If not affected by the disease premature retirement, Magic's achievements may even threaten the god of basketball Michael Jordan, so Magic in the league's historical players on the range of elected first prize is fully qualified.

Fourth place: the shark O'Neal

The "Joe, no Joe Shark" is a popular saying among fans, meaning that the peak Shark's dominance on the court is even comparable to Jordan's. O'Neal was drafted by the Magic in the first round in 1992, and was among the top 50 superstars of all time in 1997, and its terrifying dominance was evident. O'Neal joined the Lakers in 1996 and ushered in the peak of his career. After Kobe grew up, O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive championships and three consecutive MVP in the Finals, becoming the first person to reach this achievement after Jordan. O'Neal as a representative of the traditional center, both the center's excellent physical qualities, but also has excellent flexibility and small technology, is the NBA history of rare genius, so O'Neal can overwhelm the crowd elected first prize is not wrong.

The third: the big dream Olajuwon

Olajuwon as the first of the four centers in the nineties, in the 1984 draft over Jordan was elected the first yuan, can be seen its strength. The first of these is the "Dream Dance", a unique technique that still attracts many stars to learn. Olajuwon led the Rockets to the championship twice and won the Finals MVP award twice in the two years after Jordan retired, and was one of the most accomplished players in the 1990s under Jordan's rule. It is not impossible that Olajuwon, who has received such praise, will pick the first prize in the history of the players.

Second place: Sky Hook Jabber

Jabber entered the NBA as a first-rounder in 1969, and began to make a name for himself after being selected by the Bucks, and was later traded to the Lakers to partner with Magic, becoming a generation of superstars. Jabber's excellent physical condition, together with his mastery of the "sky hook", has made him a great player in the league for 20 years, and still holds the league's all-time scoring record. Jabber played in the league for twenty years, the honor is very rich, but because of the early career development of the league is not perfect, and the late with the Magician is basically in the second position, so it is difficult to reach Jordan's historical status. But considering the rich honors Jabber has received, it makes sense to become the first prize in the historical range.

No. 1: Stone Buddha Duncan

Duncan is a very low-profile player, so much so that many fans would be surprised to learn that he is a top-10 player in history, and is recognized as the most powerful forward in history. Duncan was picked up by the Spurs with the first pick in 1997, and the Spurs chose to go crazy in order to get Duncan, which proved to be the right choice for the Spurs, as the first pick directly helped the Spurs to top the league championship five times, and helped the team to maintain the strength of the league's power for nearly 20 years. Duncan is one of the few players in the league to have won five championships as a core, so this first-round pick is well deserved.

It is not difficult to find, in the eyes of Pippin, even big brother Jordan were not selected, he believes that the interior players in the field of basketball is more dominant, more powerful elected first prize, and in modern basketball played not bad honor James, Durant, Curry and others were not selected, and early in high school fame, and has a strong physical quality of the little emperor James can not be elected first prize, obviously difficult to convince the public!
