In the NBA 79th year, James participated in any draft, and only two players beat him to become the No. 1 pick

Some fans asked me to talk about the NBA's history of 79 years. Which players have the ability to compete in the draft and become the No. 1 pick? To be honest, from my personal point of view, if you don’t open your eyes, there are only two players, namely O’Neal and Duncan. Why do I say this? I will talk about my own point of view.

First of all, let's talk about O'Neal. In terms of physical talent, it is at the level of the NBA monster, with a height of 2.16 meters, an astonishing 300 pounds, and strong strength. It can be said that it is relatively rare in the center position. Such physical talent has absolute advantages in confrontation. Being able to grab rebounds, block positions and block shots at the basket makes the opponent desperate. He performed very well in college, and averaged 21.6+13.5+4.6 per game. He was the number one center in the United States at that time. In terms of technology, it can be said that apart from free throws, there are almost no shortcomings, comprehensive skills, and there are also many scoring methods, such as strong attack at the basket, hooking, turning jump shots, rebounding, frame protection, and blocking are top-notch.

Duncan averaged 11.2+11.9+3.2 blocks per game during his college years. It can be said that at that time, the top inside players in the United States were technically comprehensive, with top offensive capabilities at low posts. He could use his rich footwork skills and strength to score at the basket. He was also accurate in mid-range shooting, with rebounds, blocks, and frame protection all at the top. It is also unmatched on the defensive end, such as blocking awareness and large defense area. Duncan became the No. 1 pick completely thanks to his outstanding ability and the role of stabilizing the team.

Through some of the above descriptions, I believe many fans may recognize my point of view. O'Neal and Duncan are no matter in any draft, they are no. 1 pick. Like Jordan, Kobe and others have achieved themselves through their acquired efforts. James has played for 22 seasons since 2003. It can be said that he is a player of the pride of nature in terms of self-discipline, character, personal skills, and performance in the arena. It can be said that talented players like O'Neal, Duncan, and James will be difficult to come out in the next 100 years. It can be said that since Howard, there has never been a qualified No. 1 pick in the NBA. This is the sad thing about the current NBA. What are thick eyebrows? Wenban Yama has glass attributes.
