Just like everyone has his own name, NBA players also have their own jersey numbers. When a player makes achievements and is famous all over the world, his number will be marked in history and will be remembered throughout the ages.
When we say the 23rd? Naturally, Jordan comes to mind; and when it comes to No. 24? Naturally, Kobe comes to mind. At the same time, there will also be cases that are remembered because of his special jersey number, such as No. 91 Rodman. Among the many numbers, there are not a few players who choose single-digit numbers. Today, let’s select the best players No. 0-9 in history. Which players will be on the list?
Tony Parker, who has played in the league for 18 years, has won 4 championships and one FMVP. It is certainly not controversial to say that he is the best No. 9 player in history. Tony Parker will always be the Spurs' exclusive "French sports car."
Superstar No. 8? I believe this is the player who least needs to question it - Kobe Bryant, who is the only star in the history of the Lakers to have two jersey numbers retired at the same time. Kobe Bryant, who wore the No. 8 "shirt", symbolized youth, vitality, hard work and enterprising, bravery and courage. He is an idol who accompanies the youth of a generation and is well-deserved!
There are not many stars wearing the No. 7 jersey. Fans may think that there are Roy, Odom, and Maravich, but they are ultimately defeated by one person-Carmelo Anthony (Knicks) period). Although Gua failed to achieve too dazzling results during the Knicks period, Gua during this period was after all the time when his competitive level was at its highest. His textbook-level offensive kaleidoscope will be praised.
When it comes to jersey number No. 6, many fans will blurt out a name - LeBron. After all, he is a popular superstar. LeBron's name already occupies the hearts of many fans. But everyone must not forget that there are many outstanding No. 6 players in history, such as Lord of the Rings and Dr. J. In terms of status and historical honors, LeBron James still has some way to go if he wants to catch up with Russell.
Speaking of the No. 5 jersey, fans and friends, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is Garnett during the Celtics. After all, he is closer to us. When it comes to historical status, Kidd, the No. 5 star, is above Garnett. Kidd is a famous top point guard in history. He is a "textbook" and a "book" that defenders must study.
Historically, there are not many players wearing the No. 4 jersey, and there are even fewer stars with brilliant achievements. Barkley once wore the No. 4 jersey, but at that time he was no longer at his peak. Therefore, the player who also wore the No. 4 jersey in his true peak period was Webber of the Kings. At his peak, the Kings' Webb was also the rebounding leader averaging 27+11 per game and was the most dazzling power forward.
The selection of the best No. 3 candidate is still controversial, with people holding different opinions. In the past decade or so, there has been an unwritten habit. Defenders often like to wear the No. 3 jersey. This is to pay tribute to that man - Allen Iverson. But among the many No. 3 players, the two most qualified to win the best are none other than Wade and Iverson. When it comes to personal strength, the two are equally matched, but when it comes to historical honors, Wade is obviously better. However, Iverson is Wade's idol, so who will be the best No. 3? Perhaps fellow fans have their own answers.
Historically, there are not many stars who have performed well wearing the No. 2 jersey. Some old fans may remember Moses Malone during the 76ers period. But today, whether talking about statistical honors or personal strength, the current star Leonard seems to be more worthy of being the best No. 2. Now Leonard has won two FMVPs, and his offensive and defensive efficiency is stable enough to make him a Hall of Famer.
Seeing this, some people can't help but ask: Isn't there the best No. 1 among Tracy McGrady, Rose, and Hardaway? neither! As the best No. 1 in history, he is also a triple-double king, that is Big O Robertson. His career data can reach 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game. He has won 6 assists and an MVP trophy. In 1971, he led the team to win the championship.
Number 0 was not popular a few decades ago, so naturally this number usually comes from the past ten years or so. Representatives of the No. 0 jersey number include Love, Lillard, General Arenas and so on. But Westbrook, who can be called the best in history, definitely deserves it. Perhaps today, Lillard's personal strength is not inferior to Westbrook, but as the historical triple-double king, Westbrook is obviously superior in terms of statistics and honors.
In the long history of the NBA, just like everyone has his own name, there are always people wearing the same jersey number. Why should history remember you? The answer is, make achievements and make achievements! Only then can you be praised by fans and remembered by history like the stars we selected above. Just like the popular poem: Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years! Who has been leading the way for hundreds of years? Only men occupy their positions.
