One life and two fortunes! Jordan Jr. was once the center forward of one defense in the small ball era

8:19pm, 1 October 2025【Basketball】

Recently, the NBA officially released a video of DeAndre Jordan's photo compilation of his media day photos last year.

During the offseason this season, Jordan Jr. did not renew his contract with the Nuggets and is still a free agent.

Although there is a possibility of unemployment now, the editor remembers such a Jordan, a center forward who is defending against each other.

In the 2015-16 season, Jordan Jr. was selected for the first team of the best team and the first team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team of the best team

After Howard, before Davis and Jokic, Jordan Jr. was in the NBA in 2008. Let's see which players were elected as center forward after Jordan Jr. entered the NBA.

2008-09—Howard

2009-10—Howard

2010-11—Howard

2011-12—Howard

2012-13—36-year-old Tim Duncan

2013-14—Jokin Noah

2014-15—Marc Gasol

2015-16—DeAndre Jordan

2016-17—Anthony Davis

2017-18—Anthony Day Weiss

2018-19-19-2020-Anthony Davis

2020-21-Jokic

2021-22-Jokic

2022-23-Embid

2023-24-Jokic

2024-25-Jokic

From the data, we can see that after Howard left the Magic, his condition declined due to many aspects. Howard, who was elected as a center for one team for five consecutive years, has never been selected as a center for the league first team again.

At this time, the first round of the league center is in an open state of competition. In the next four years, four different players were elected as centers in the first team. It was a bit like "There is no major general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer."

Until Anthony Davis grew up, in four years, Davis was elected as the first-team center of the league three times.

Then, Jokic emerged from the league. Jokic was an epoch-making center. He showed the world that the center can still play like this and also organize the center. He was elected the league's number one center five times in 7 years.

Jordan Jordan, who has defended the game for one team and one defense, relies on his offense, and his specialty is frame protection, rebounds and blocks. The disadvantage is that his free throw shooting percentage is pitifully low. In the 2015-16 playoffs, the free throw shooting percentage ranked third from the bottom in the league (Dramond down and Howard down), which made Jordan Jordan frequently cut during the playoffs, which is also one of the reasons why the Clippers are not far from the playoffs. Although Jordan Jr. was a league-level defense center in the 15-16 season, he was not even the top two players in the team. Paul and Griffin were the core players in the Clippers.

In this case, we can only sigh that fate favors Jordan Jordan.

Imagine the achievements of one set of defense. Embiid has never won it, but Jordan Jr. Embiid has won the MVP and the scoring champion twice, but what about that? He and Jokic were born in the same era, but he only had one best team. But we all know that Embiid is a much better player than Jordan Jr.

I can only say that Jordan Jr. caught up. As a second round pick, he played for 17 years, won the championship, got the first defense, got the rebounding king, and won the Olympic gold medal.

Jordan Jordan's career is perfect enough
