Chapter 717 The Number One Player in the League—Kobe Bryant!

"NBC announced the player strength rankings for the 1998-1999 season!"

"Show me quickly!"

NO.1: Kobe Bryant: The youngest Finals FMVP, MVP, AMVP, Finals scoring leader with 79 points in a single game, regular season scoring leader, DOPY, double team, All-Star, steals leader. His honors last season have already put him on the altar! He is the strongest man in the league in this era!

2. Michael Jordan: The God of Basketball was not obviously at a disadvantage in a one-on-one contest with Kobe. The 35-year-old basketball god’s gas tank is still full of gas! If he can maintain the form of last season, then it is not impossible for him to pull Kobe down with the new team and regain his throne.

3. Shaquille O'Neal: The king of kings in the era when the inside was king! The youngest top 50 superstar! Shark, the league's number one center, has demonstrated his dominance both in the regular season and the playoffs. His goal this season is MVP and FMVP. If he wants to take another step forward in history, this is an achievement that O'Neal must achieve.

4. Karl Malone: ​​The league's number one power forward, his body and skills have reached perfection. This is his prime age. Last year, he almost averaged 30+10+5 per game. His presence allowed a team like the Utah Jazz, which is not a star-studded team, to maintain its top four position in the brutal Western Conference.

5. David Robinson: Although the Spurs did not achieve very good results last season. But the Admiral's performance is still outstanding. With the cooperation of Tim Duncan, the Spurs will be the strongest twin-tower team in the league this season. The addition of Richmond will take the offensive pressure off the Admirals and allow him to play more freely.

6. Anfernee Hardaway: Webb has left the Magic, and Penny will assume a very large offensive right this season. His performance in consecutive seasons has proven that Hardaway is the strongest defender after Kobe and Jordan. Pence, led by a single core, may have the most explosive season in his career.

7. Grant Hill: Hill's injury caused him to miss most of last season. However, many Hornets players have reported that Hill is still the player with the fastest first step on the court! As long as Hill can return to his pre-injury form this season, he will still be the undisputed strongest small forward in the league. His combination with Jordan will be the strongest forward-guard combination in history!

8. Chris Webber: Coming to the Kings from the Magic, Webber, who is on his own, will first become the absolute core of a team. His data and performance this season are bound to explode! His performance will determine how far the young Kings team can go.

9. Scottie Pippen: The league's number one small forward last season, he spent the last peak years of his career in Houston with a 100 million yuan contract! Pippen is still one of the strongest small forwards in the league. Can his presence activate the Houston Rockets and bring this legendary team to the championship stage again?

10. Kevin Garnett: An offensive and defensive power forward averaging 20+10+3+2+2 per game. His height and wingspan determine that as long as he is on the court, he is a point that cannot be ignored. The Wolf King, who signed a 100 million yuan contract, has undoubtedly joined the ranks of superstars. His goal this season is to lead the Timberwolves further into the playoffs.

11. Allen Iverson: Under Adelman's system, Iverson became the strongest sharp knife in the league. Allen gets better every offseason, and the results of his hard work this summer are worth looking forward to.

12. Tim Duncan: Last year's rookie made the most progress among all previous rookies. From being confused at the beginning of the season, to almost performing at a superstar level in the playoffs. The combination of Russell and Big Dream, this scouting report is well-deserved. How much progress the young No. 1 pick makes will determine whether the Spurs can continue to move forward this season.

"F*ck! That's outrageous! Why am I only ranked 103?" Xiaoyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"One thing to say, NBC's player strength rankings are still very reliable." Eddie Jones, who was ranked 24th, was happy. Ranking 24th showed that he could make it to the All-Stars again.

In an era where there are more than a dozen superstars this year, Eddie Jones is very satisfied as the third player to be able to join the All-Stars.

"Boss has been elected as the number one player in the league!" Big Ben beamed. He was happy for Kobe from the bottom of his heart.

"You deserve it! Kobe, you deserve this honor!"

"Congratulations, boss."

"Kobe, congratulations."

"We, the Lakers, finally have another number one player in the league!"

"Michael's face is probably going green with anger! This is probably the first time in more than ten years that he is not at the top of the rankings of future players!"

The Lakers players are laughing and joking, and they have the first and third players in the league at the same time, giving them confidence to achieve success again this year!

The benefits of winning the championship are visible! Even the Lakers' bench players are ranked very high, which makes their next salary guaranteed.

Eddie Jones has the opportunity to fight for a 100 million yuan contract after his contract expires! As the old superstars age, he is the mainstay! Although he is not a superstar, he is also a solid offensive and defensive All-Star. Every team is eager to get this kind of player.

Although Eddie Jones is now a little worried about whether the Lakers will renew his contract. After all, Kobe's contract expires next year, so it must also be a super-maximum contract.

If you take on O'Neal and Kobe's two billion-dollar contracts, will you still give yourself a big contract?

Eddie Jones was a little unsure.

And Horry is only 28 years old! At the end of this season, as the top role player, he will definitely get a mid-level contract! Jerry West has given his commitment to a contract extension!

Old Curry is 34 years old and he is still hesitating. Harris invited Curry to join the Lakers coaching staff after the season. West also promised to offer a veteran's minimum salary. Of course, no matter how he chose, Curry decided to stay in Los Angeles.

Except for Eddie Jones, who is in the contract year, the other players are not too worried at the moment.

O'Neal, who was laughing and joking, had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Am I just third?

The third player in the league?

Once upon a time, my goal was to become the first person in history. What changed me?

Not reconciled

This season, I want to be the strongest!

I am already the strongest center!

Next step, I want to become the strongest player!

O'Neill clenched his fists, and the fat all over his body trembled a few times.
