How difficult is it to stand a statue after retirement? Only 4 players in the NBA are qualified, and Durant has no chance

In the NBA, players can get many honors, but most of them are obtained when playing, such as MVP and championships, which are important honors during their players’ time. Once retired, the difficulty of obtaining honors increases exponentially, such as Hall of Fame and Statue, are not achievements that ordinary players can achieve. Especially asking the team to set up a statue for themselves is even more out of reach. There are only 4 players in the active NBA. Let’s take a look at who they are!

4: Jokic

Jokic is the most powerful star in the league today. He can also be regarded as a historical center. He averaged triple-double per game this season, and forced the Nuggets, who had poor lineup depth, to the playoff stage. Although he failed to make the Western Conference Finals, his personal ability can be said to be impeccable.

As a center, Jokic has solid basic skills in the inside and has rich technical skills, and he also has shooting abilities that other centers do not have. When the team needs him to shoot three-pointers, he can shoot 40% of the three-point shooting percentage from the outside. In addition, Jokic can also connect teammates. His overall view of organizing team offense is very outstanding. He is also the most assisted center in NBA history. He has won three MVPs so far in his career and has led the team to win the first championship in team history. He is the first player in the Nuggets' history. Besides, Jokic is now 30 years old, which is the peak period of his career. It is no problem for the Nuggets to set up a statue for him after he retires.

3: Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo's experience is similar to Jokic, but Antetokounmpo's career started as a substitute, and later, through his own efforts, he gradually became a superstar in the league. First he won the fastest-progress player award, and then he won two consecutive MVPs. In the 19-20 season, he won two honors in MVP and DPOY in a single season, second only to Jordan and Olajuwon, and was comparable to two legendary stars.

And in the subsequent 20-21 season, Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to win the second championship in team history. Since then, his team status has surpassed Jabbar and has become the well-deserved first person in the Bucks' history. However, Antetokounmpo also caused a storm in leaving the team this season. Not to mention whether he will leave the team later, just in terms of his contribution to the Bucks, he was completely qualified to be erected by the team after retirement.

2: Curry

As a point guard at the NBA's historical level, Curry can be said to be a team soul-level figure for the Warriors. After entering the 10s, Curry led the Warriors to become a strong team in the league. In 2015, he led the Warriors to a long-lost championship. In the subsequent 15-16 season, Curry shot 45% of his three-point shooting percentage, and scored 402 three-pointers in a single season, breaking the NBA historical record. The team also scored the first record in NBA history with 73 wins and 9 losses. Since then, the NBA has set off a trend of crazy three-point shooting. Curry is undoubtedly the pioneer of the small ball era.

In 2015-22, Curry led the team to win four championships and won the FMVP at one time. He is also the well-deserved number one in the Warriors' history. Not only in terms of honor, but also in terms of team business value. Before him, the Warriors were not as large as they are today. So after Curry retires, the Warriors will surely set up a statue for him.

1: James

James has played in the NBA for 22 seasons, and he has won countless honors. He helped the team win two consecutive championships in the Heat, and he helped the team win the first championship in the history of the Cavaliers. Although he is not in the Cavaliers now, it is where his dream begins. He won two MVPs and won the third championship in his career. The Cavaliers will also give him the greatest respect after he retires.

and the Lakers are now. Although James is already in the middle and late in his career when he came to the Lakers, he still led the team to the championship, and he also broke the record for No. 1 in NBA history here. He is likely to retire with the Lakers in the future. The commercial value he brings to the Lakers is beyond the reach of ordinary players. If he holds a retirement tour, it would be a great thing for the Lakers. Overall, the Lakers are also likely to have a statue for him when he retires.
