US media rated the 10 best offense and defense stars in NBA history: James ranked ninth, Kobe third

There are many kinds of players in the NBA that measure the versatility of a player, some of which are both offense and pass, and some of which are both offense and defense. The easier it is for such multifunctional players to be liked by the team. After all, they can do more things that players cannot do. In the past era, everyone likes players with both offense and defense, and now they are more inclined to players with both offense and pass. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the 10 best players with both offense and defense in history listed by the US media.

Tenth Leonard

Leonard was called the card frame version of Jordan at his peak. The unsolved middle distance gave him a stable scoring method. Relying on the defensive end, he could easily interfere with the opponent's offensive route and win the existence of the best defensive player in two sessions. However, Ka's peak period was too short, so he was only ranked tenth. If Leonard was healthy enough, he would probably be able to win more honors.

Ninth James

Why can James be ahead of Leonard? James' scoring ability at his peak was better than Leonard. Those who have seen 13 James know how outstanding he is. At that time, James either rushed 2+1 or sent a foul, which was even better than the current letters. James has been selected as the best defense five times. He can defend five positions at his peak and almost won DPOY in 2013.

Eighth Chamberlain

Chamberlain's era did not have the best defensive player selection, otherwise his ability would probably be won many times. Chamberlain's talent was a plug-in in that era, and the scoring was so easy. Not to mention the defensive end, if there were block statistics, he would probably be the king of blocks in history. Even in this era, there was probably no center that could have his talent. Chamberlain was a 2.16-meter player, but he had the level of a professional track and field athlete in running and jumping, which was terrifying.

Seventh David Robinson

Where can enter the inside line of this list, he is either a top-level frame guard or a talented monster like the Grandmaster. The speed of the general is very rare among centers. His speed is even comparable to many small forwards. With his strong body, he can easily switch to multiple positions. Now Towns and Ayton are fast enough, right? It's far worse than him. Winning the scoring champion and best defensive player is enough to show how great his defense is.

The sixth O'Neal

O'Neal's defensive ability has always been underestimated. Because his offensive ability is too strong, his defensive ability has been ignored. O'Neal's speed and flexibility are top among players in the same position. He also has excellent strength. When facing opponents hit the basket, he can easily lock the opponent with his own defensive area and strength. He has also been selected for the best defense team many times. As the most dominant center in history, there is no reason why he can get such a title.

Fifth Garnett

Garnett is considered to be the most versatile power forward in history. He not only has stable mid-range shooting and small hooks, but also has good defensive ability. He can switch to five positions, but also has excellent passes. He is the first center in history to hold the ball. He has averaged 6 assists per game in a single season. In fact, Garnett can be selected and the letters can be selected, but there is no letters seen on this list.

Fourth Duncan

Duncan has been selected into the Best Defensive Team 15 times in his career, but he did not win one of the Best Defensive Players. Is his ability not good? No, Duncan did not win the honor he deserved because he was not popular with the media. If he was just a defensive ability, he was among the top. Duncan was not fast, but his defensive prediction and long arms could easily limit his opponents. Duncan's football quotient was too high, which is why he often could get a stand-up hat.

Third Kobe

Bryant Kobe at his peak, that is, in the 2000s, he has never missed the best defense team, and the same is true for Duncan. Kobe has been selected for the first defense nine times. Looking at the few people in history who can achieve this record, only Jordan, Garnett, Payton and others, Duncan did not do it. The reason why Kobe was able to rank ahead of Duncan is more because his offensive ability is better. Kobe is the closest existence to Jordan in history.

Second Olajuwon

Olajuwon is considered to be the best center forward in history with offense and defense. From this we can also see how outstanding Olajuwon is. In the 1994 season, Olajuwon supported the Rockets' offense and defense system alone and led the team to win the championship. He is the king of blocks in history, and a center steals the top ten in history. Olajuwon's big dream footsteps are a weapon that many stars want to learn. Kobe and James have both become disciples. It is said that they cost 100,000 US dollars in a class.

No. 1 Jordan

Jordan is the first person in history and the best player in history with offense and defense. He has been selected for the Best Defensive Team 9 times, and he has also won the Best Defensive Player Award. Compared with his outstanding individual single defense ability, Jordan's offensive ability is even more terrifying. He has the highest average score in his career and has 10 scoring champions. He deserves his reputation. Speaking of this, what do you want to say about these 10 players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
