In the 75-year history of the NBA the success rate of the number one draft picks has been very high
11 of them have won the MVP award 19 have been inducted into the Hall of Fame
Another 29 players have been selected to the All-Star game or the All-NBA teams
Out of the 15 current number one draft picks two have already been selected to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team
If the 70-plus top scholars from history were all in
the same draft who would be the first pick for each team
Based on players' natural talent prestige and accumulated contribution
value let's take a look at the top 10 NBA draft picks of all time
Tenth Alan Iverson Everyone knows in the basketball world even being
just one centimeter shorter than
others makes your advantage much smaller
But Iverson carved out his own space in the NBA with his 1.83-meter height
Rookie season eased Jordan a definite ankle breaker
Led the team to the finals in 2001 and faced the OK combination alone
In the legendary class of 2001 Iverson stood out among many great stars to
become the number one pick thanks to his physical gifts and scoring ability
Iverson's powerful mental attributes even inspired Kobe's growth However
Iverson never won a championship or the honor of a lifetime with one team
Iverson's contribution to the pressure of victory Iverson accumulated 99
is also the last in the top 10 draft picks in history
above the tenth players who can compete with Iverson
Also Alvin Hayes or "Gorilla" Ewing
Ninth Algin Baylor
Because Algin Baylor played in an era too long ago
So it's hard for some fans to acknowledge his greatness
Baylor is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms
The average player score is 27.4 points 13.5 rebounds and 10 selections to the All-Star team
His scoring ability is stronger than Iverson and LeBron
During the four years of peak sound pressure Baylor averaged
35.4 points 15.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 47 playoff games
It was just bad luck running into the Celtics dynasty As a result they lost
eight times in the finals and failed to bring a championship to the Lakers
Baylor's sound pressure victory contribution only accumulated 104.2
Ranking ninth among the top ten draft picks in history
Eighth Oscar Robertson
In 1960 the Great European Persson was selected first overall by the Kansas City Athletics
but because the Athletics also held the first pick
So Dirk Nowitzki was also considered a
top pick That year Lakers' father figure Jerry
West was only the second pick It shows how excellent Dirk Nowitzki was
Besides being known as the "Triple Crown King" of history Big O also
had another title that of the league's number one center in the 1960s
His accumulated pressure from victories only reached 189.2
ranking fourth among all top picks
From the 60s to the 69s season
All-Star starting lineup and best medical care
But unfortunately Big O was unable to bring a championship to the Royals
After playing for his hometown team for ten seasons
The big bear in the late 1970s was traded to the Bears
He teamed up with second-year player Abdul-Jabbar to
win the 1971 championship the seventh David Robinso
In the 90s a championship-contending team must have a top-tier center in the league
Unless you have Michael Jordan
In 1987 the Mavericks selected David Robinson with the first overall pick but
because he had to serve in the military he didn't join the league until 1989
Mats has always liked using max-level accounts
He entered his peak during his rookie season
He is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 106 kilograms
Versatile in skills playing style is more like a small forward Also
has excellent shooting range In an
era where inside players dominated
The general still managed to stand out with his powerful strength and won
all the honors throughout his career
with a total contribution value of 178.7
It was only when Duncan
joined that they finally
achieved their dream The
sixth Hakeem Olajuwon
Akeem Olajuwon's victory over Jordan
in the 1984 draft
already says it all
Hakeem Olajuwon led the Rockets to two of the
franchise's three all-time championships It could be said that
the Dream was the second-best player in the league during the 1990s after Jordan
Dwight Howard is 2 meters 13 centimeters tall has a wingspan of 2 meters 29 centimeters and weighs 115
kilograms When he entered the draft Dwight Howard had only been playing basketball for five years
He is considered to have extraordinary talent
He not only combined top-level strength speed
and agility but was also very skilled at using
strategies to defeat his opponents 94-95 season
David Robinson narrowly beat Hakeem Olajuwon in the MVP voting
By the time the playoffs arrived the Rockets and the Mavs met in the Western Conference Finals
Hakeem Olajuwon held his breath as his
team defeated Matisse 4-2 with an average of 35.3 points
12.5 rebounds 5 assists and 4 blocks
Averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds per game against the general
In addition Olajuwon once recorded a quadruple-double in a single game
Eighteen points sixteen rebounds ten assists and eleven blocks
And another game with 29 points 18 rebounds 9 assists 11 blocks and
5 steals It could be said that Olajuwon was besides Wilt Chamberlain
The most balanced center in history
The saying goes if there's a bridge choose the bridge if there's no bridge choose
the sand Although there was talk of the four great centers in the 90s
But the great sharks of the peak era could make the other three players bow in
defeat Six times in the finals four times champions three times winning the FMVP
But unfortunately O'Neal was unable to bring a championship to his hometown team the
Magic Although the problem was that the Magic intentionally annoyed O'Neal and let him go
But for many years O'Neal has always been swept in the playoffs
After joining the Lakers O'Neal finally completed his full evolution into the most
dominant player in the league even when people
thought he was past his prime with the Lakers
O'Neal could still make a
move to Miami to help young
Wade win a championship if looking only at raw talent
Considering O'Neal's size strength and speed it's hard not to pick him as the first
overall pick The only possible weakness is
that his energy level is slightly lacking
Over his 20-season career O'Neal accumulated a win contribution
value of 181.7 ranking fifth among all NBA draft picks in history
But围棋 once said that even if Duncan
had only one leg his basketball injury
could still dominate that land
Duncan was the number one pick in 1997
And in his rookie season he entered the MVP discussion
in his second year he led his team to a championship he
became the second-year FMVP in the history of the league
Duncan never left the Spurs throughout his entire career
It also helped the team develop two NBA Finals MVPs Parker and
Leonard If it weren't for Ray Allen's game-winning three in 2013
Duncan could achieve a 100% win rate in the finals just like Jordan
Throughout his career Duncan brought five championships to the Spurs
And between the first and fifth 15 years passed
Especially in 2003 facing Hu Ren who was aiming for a fourth consecutive championship
Duncan in his prime defeats the OK组合 with a solo move
Over his 19-season career Duncan accumulated a win contribution
value of 206.4 ranking third among all NBA draft picks in history
A single champion used 19 times as
the NBA's all-time greatest
power forward the ultimate example of a player who stayed with one team
Duncan is undoubtedly the top pick in the hearts of many fans
The magician was the number one draft pick in 1979
and one of the most well-rounded players in history
with outstanding natural talent and athleticism
giving him a natural advantage when facing open shots
It's an excellent choice as the cornerstone of the fleet
The magician once said a sentence
During the peak era the magician averaged 23.9
points 12.2 assists 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals
Although he only won four assists titles he averaged 11.2 assists per game for his career
ranking first in history and is
undeniably the greatest pure shooter in history
More importantly the magician has spent his entire career serving Hu Ren
winning five championships for his team and ushering in the Showtime era
Not only did he get the honor but he also made
his boss rich and even revived the entire NBA
But the problem with the magician is that his 13-year career is relatively
short with a total win contribution value of 155.8 which is also relatively low
Kareem was the first overall pick of the 1969 Bucks He was 2 meters 18
centimeters tall had a wingspan of 2 meters 26 centimeters and weighed 102 kilograms
In his sophomore year proud Chamberlain admitted that Jabbar was a better
shooter than himself After entering
the league Jabbar only took two seasons
But helped the Bucks win their first-ever NBA championship It was a huge
contribution to his hometown team
However after six seasons with the Bucks
Jabbar chose to leave After joining the Lakers
he won five more championships and six MVPs
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the greatest center in NBA history but after
Magic Johnson emerged Kareem voluntarily became the second-in-command
Willing to sacrifice personal data and status is also highly commendable
Over his entire 20-season career Kareem's career win contribution value reached as high as 273.4
First in history
Whether it's the peak's length or height
it is the strongest level in history
What is a chosen
one It means even heaven chooses him to be the top scorer
If he didn't graduate high school and directly entered the NBA
James could have dominated the NCAA
LeBron has been an all-star since his rookie season
In his fourth season he led the Cavaliers to the finals
It's because of players who can ensure the team's floor and determine its
ceiling Individually James surpassed Jordan to become the all-time leading scorer
Winning four championships four MVPs
Four Finals MVPs also belong only to Qiaodan ranking second in history
James can still maintain his peak level from the age of 18 to 38 in terms of ability
With 20 seasons to date the accumulated victory contribution value is as high as 255.1 ranking second in history
More importantly after James left the Cavaliers to join the Heat and fulfill his dream he returned
to the Cavaliers using his valuable championship experience and his impressive Finals performance
The team's first-ever and highly prestigious championship title
James not only achieved personal redemption
Even making the knight boss Gilbert write a personal apology letter
It was posted on the knight's official website for a full four years
