Controversy continues! US media rated the top 100 NBA stars, Kobe fell out of the top ten, and many stars were not selected!

Recently, the famous American media Bleacher Report released a news report. Media reporters made some evaluations based on the performance and achievements of all players in NBA history, and finally selected the 100 greatest stars in the NBA and ranked them accurately. But what is unexpected is that once this news was released, it caused fierce quarrels in the fan circle because there were indeed some unreasonable situations in the ranking. Moreover, some players failed to enter this list, which surprised many fans. Let’s take a look at the most controversial issues together!

1. Kobe fell out of the top ten, and his ranking was extremely unreasonable!

First of all, the biggest question raised by fans is naturally Kobe Bryant, who actually fell out of the top ten. And in response to this point, BR actually gave their reasons. They believe that although Kobe's career lasted for 20 years, he has been not the best player in the league for most of the NBA, and pointed out that Shaquille O'Neal is the only leader in three consecutive championships. In the eyes of many fans, these reasons are completely nonsense. During the three consecutive championships, even O'Neal, who was picky, said in public many times that Kobe and himself were dual cores. Without Kobe, the team would not be able to break out of the West or win the championship. BR's selection is likely to be based on the FMVP result, otherwise it would be impossible to draw the conclusion that "O'Neal is the only leader in three consecutive championships." In addition, Kobe is one of the few players in history to complete two consecutive championships without having the 75 superstar teammates recognized by the NBA. In this regard, Kobe is definitely worthy of the top ten in history, so it has also caused great controversy.

In addition, it is not just Kobe's ranking, but the rankings of other players are also controversial. For example, Jason Tatum, who helped the Celtics last year and won the championship again after 16 years, actually ranked 93rd. Although he had never won the regular season MVP, Tatum also had many honors. He was selected for the Best First Team of the Season many times and also had honors such as Eastern Conference Finals MVP and All-Star MVP, he should not be in this embarrassing position at all. Moreover, since entering the NBA in 2017, Tatum has never missed the playoffs stage and is also a regular in the Eastern Conference Finals. As a result, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, and Luka Doncic, who has better personal abilities, are ranked higher than the champion Tatum, which is absolutely incredible. In addition, although Vince Carter has made some contributions to promoting the NBA, he ranked 65th without a championship or hardcore honor, which is also a ranking that is difficult for people to agree on, so the ranking of this list is difficult for all fans to accept.

2. Alexander led the way, and many well-known stars were not selected!

In addition, looking at this list, there are some stars who have lost the election, which is also very strange. The most unacceptable one is this year's big winner Shea Gilgers Alexander. This season, Alexander helped the Thunder achieve the best top record of 68 wins and 14 losses in the team history. Not only did he win his first regular season MVP trophy, but he also defeated many strong opponents in the playoffs and successfully won the first championship trophy in team history. He also personally received honors from the Western Conference Finals MVP and the Finals MVP, which was also a successful help to be elected as the ESPY Male Athlete of the Year Award. Moreover, his honors are more than that. He was selected into the Best First Team three times and won the title of scoring leader this season. These honors and achievements can fully help Alexander be selected into this list, but he still failed to get the recognition of BR. This is difficult for fans of the Thunder or other teams to accept.

Finally, not only Alexander, but also some former top stars were also "abandoned" by this list. Among them, there are fans who are familiar with the central axle of the Detroit Five Tigers that year, Ben Wallace, who was elected as DPOY four times and has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame. In addition, if we look at the selection criteria, Kevin Love, Rudy Gobert, Blake Griffin, including Lamarcus Aldridge, these players should all be qualified to be selected. And some veterans who have left their names in NBA history and have won championships many times should also be nominated. Therefore, this time the BR selection is indeed full of loopholes, and the reasons they gave are very far-fetched. Perhaps, the only list that fans can convince are probably the NBA official selection. After all, among the 75 superstars selected before, most of the selected players have been recognized. In the future, when the NBA's 100th anniversary celebration is celebrated, the official may give a more fair selection based on the comprehensive performance and achievements of each player.
