In the NBA, entering the Best Lineup means that a season's performance has been recognized by everyone. This not only represents personal strength, but also lays the foundation for your subsequent salary. So everyone will squeeze out their heads and want to enter the Best Lineup. However, entering the Best Lineup once and twice may have something to do with luck. Being able to enter the Best Lineup at least 14 times is the standard for superstars. There are only 6 people in NBA history that have done this. Let's take a look at who they are!

Six: O'Neal (14 times)

As a super center in the NBA history level, O'Neal is very dominant on the court. Entering the Best Team is a piece of cake for him. He has made 8 attempts in one match, 2 attempts in the second match, and 4 attempts in the third match. In his 19 seasons career, he has made 14 attempts in the Best Team and his performance is also very stable.

And he led the Lakers to three consecutive championships in 2000-02. This is also the only NBA championship in this century, with a very high gold content. O'Neal also won the FMVP trophy three times in a row. It can be said to be the star of the star. At that time, O'Neal was almost the common opponent of the entire league. Everyone was trying to target him. This was O'Neal's dominance at the peak.

5: Carl Malone (14 times)

Malone is also the best among NBA power forwards. He has excellent physical talent, especially his upper arm muscles. On the court, he often uses iron elbows to open the road, making it very difficult for his opponents to defend, and Malone almost does not miss the game due to injury, so there is no need to say about stability. He entered the first team of the best team 11 times in his career, 2nd team 2nd team, and 1nd team 3rd team. Just 11 times in his career, this is enough to show how outstanding his personal ability is. He was almost a regular visitor for the first team at his peak, and he only began to miss a while in the late stages of his career. After all, he is a superstar who averaged 25 points per game in his career.

4: Duncan (15 times)

Duncan is the No. 1 power forward in NBA history. He has outstanding abilities on both offense and defense. He can enter the first team in his rookie season. He has entered the first team in a total of 10 times in his career, 3 times in 2nd and 2nd in 2003. Duncan also won the honor of MVP twice in a row. At his peak, Duncan also has no solution in the position of power forward, and even has a unique dominance. At the end of his career, Duncan can also use his field experience to help the Spurs win the fifth championship.

3: Jabbar (15 times)

Jabbar entered the first team in a total of 10 times in his career and entered the second team in a total of 5 times. In addition, Jabbar won the championship six times and won the MVP six times. As the second-largest player in the NBA regular season, he is also a candidate for GOAT in the hearts of many people. After all, his career resume is also very outstanding, and his performance has always been very stable. In the position of center, he is the most honorable existence.

2: Kobe (15 times)

The Lakers also won three consecutive championships after Kobe truly grew up. At his peak, Kobe had his unique scoring ability. 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a single game were his masterpieces. Unfortunately, at the end of his career, Kobe suffered from Achilles tendon and shoulder injuries, otherwise he would not have retired so early.

1: James (21 times)

James is the player with the most entry into the best team in NBA history. He entered the first team in one team 13 times, ranking first in NBA history, entered the second team in the second team and entered the third team 4 times. This season, the 40-year-old James can still enter the second team in the best team. This is something that no players have done before, which is enough to prove how stable James' performance is. Even at the age of 40, he is still the level of a first-line player in the league.

At the same time, James is also the NBA's total scoring champion. In the field of scoring, his record is probably no one can break.
