There are many familiar combinations in NBA history, such as the four major points guards in the 2000s. In that golden age of the NBA, the rise of the four major points guards can be said to have influenced a large number of fans. When it comes to the four major points guards, although they play the same position on the court, in fact, each of them plays differently. Because of this, they each have a large number of fans. So let’s review the careers of these four major points guards, and also see who among them has earned the most salary by playing in the NBA!
4. Allen Iverson (150 million)
As the player with the highest starting point in the NBA among the four major point guards, Iverson was the No. 1 pick by the 76ers in the first round of the draft. Therefore, he was regarded as the core of the future by the team from the beginning, so he gained a lot of playing time and extremely high tactical status in his rookie season. Iverson did not disappoint the 76ers. He averaged 23.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game in his rookie season, and he also scored 30 points, 6 assists in a single game in his NBA's regular season debut.
Later, Iverson gradually reached the peak, became one of the best defenders in the league. So in the third year of his career, he won the first regular season scoring champion in his career with his average of 26.8 points per game, and this season he was selected for the NBA All-Team for the first time. Under such circumstances, Iverson naturally renewed his contract with the 76ers for a maximum salary, and then his personal strength is still improving.
Iverson averaged 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals per game in the 2000-2001 season. He also successfully won the regular season MVP and led the team to the Eastern Conference championship all the way. Therefore, looking at the height Iverson reached during his peak, it is undoubtedly very outstanding, but unfortunately his condition did not last long, so he was traded by the 76ers. He played for too many teams in the later stage of his career and was unable to recover his form. In the end, he retired after only 14 seasons in the NBA. Therefore, his total salary in his career could only rank at the bottom of the four major points guards with a total salary of 150 million.
3. Tracy McGrady (163 million)
McDy, who entered the league one year later than Iverson, chose to skip college and directly strive for the NBA after graduating from high school in 1997. In the end, he was selected with the ninth pick in the first round. However, because McGrady was too young at that time, he could only start from a substitute at the beginning. Therefore, his performance in the first two seasons of his career was not particularly outstanding, and he had never been able to double-digit score per game. However, during this period, the team saw his progress, so his tactical status and playing time in the team were getting higher and higher.
In 2000, McGrady was traded to the Magic, and he received higher attention here. Therefore, he has been firmly starting since the first season, and his data has soared to an average of 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks, so he was elected as the fastest-progress player at that time. In the two seasons at the peak of the Magic, McGrady not only was selected as the scoring champion in a row, but also was selected for the Best Team many times. In addition, his defense was quite outstanding during that period.
Later, McGrady joined the Rockets to join forces with Yao Ming. I thought that their pair would be one of the most dominant duoes in the league, but due to injury factors, the two of them had not played many games together healthy. Also due to injury, McGrady's condition quickly declined, so he completely missed the All-Star level when he was less than 30 years old. In the later stage of his career, McGrady thought about playing in the NBA for a few more years, but in the end he retired when he was only 32 years old. In the end, his total salary in his career was frozen at 163 million.
2.Vinscart (184 million)
Although Carter is McGrady's cousin, since he entered college, McGrady had already ended his rookie season when he joined the Raptors as a rookie. It is precisely because of his experience in college that Carter performed better as soon as he entered the league. In the second year of his career, he averaged 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, so the Raptors decided to trade McGrady away in the offseason. Carter, who was regarded as the absolute core by the Raptors later, became a regular visitor to the All-Star and was even elected as the All-Star vote leader. During his peak period, his personal strength was selected as the All-Star team with his average of 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. However, compared with the other three of the four major points guards, Carter's peak period is obviously much inferior. You should know that the worst of the other three have been selected for a while and won the scoring champion.
However, Carter won a long career. He started to enter the league in 1998 and played until 2020. During this period, he played in the NBA for 22 seasons, so his total salary in his career also reached $184 million. Unlike many veterans, Carter did not join a strong team to compete in the championship at the end of his career. In order to play on the court, he joined teams like the Kings and the Hawks.
1. Kobe Bryant (328 million)
As the player with the lowest draft pick among these four people, Kobe, like McGrady, participated in the draft after graduating from high school. The reason why he was not selected until the 13th pick in the first round is also related to the quality of the draft in the 1996th. After all, this session is a well-known draft year. However, although Kobe's draft pick was not particularly outstanding, the Lakers were very optimistic about him at that time, so they brought him to Los Angeles through trades.
At the beginning, Kobe could only start from a substitute, but after entering the league, his performance on both offense and defense was constantly improving, so he was still promoted to the starting lineup without any surprise. With the help of Kobe, the Lakers won three consecutive championships in the early 21st century. Although O'Neal was undoubtedly the number one core of that team, Kobe, the second-in-command, performed well, especially in the 2001 playoffs, he also averaged 29.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
Later, Kobe began to stand alone, using this to play more luxurious data, and won the scoring champion, MVP and other honors. In 2009 and 2010, he led the Lakers to win the championship for two consecutive seasons. At this time, he obviously left the other three far behind. In the end, Kobe played in the NBA for 20 seasons, and he made 328 million in his career contract alone.
