7:59pm, 20 August 2025【Basketball】
James becomes the best key player! After another season, the US media CBS selected seven NBA awards in the 21st century, including Manu top six, and Duncan won the DPOY.
MVP: James, Curry and Duncan, as the No. 2 pick in 2003, all of James' achievements were created in the 21st century. During this period, he won the championship 4 times, FMVP 4 times, and MVP 4 times. He was the first in total score history, assisted the second, triple-double, and rebounded fourth in the 21st century. He is the real king of data.
Curry is the "king of the NBA's "in the small ball era", leading the Warriors to establish a dynasty and becoming the best shooter and three-pointer in NBA history.
Duncan performed better against James in the playoffs, but the MVP selection focused more on regular season performance. In this regard, James has a longer career, more impressive statistics and achievements.
DPOY: There is a lot of controversy in the selection of Duncan, Zhu Meng and Garnett. If the selection is based on the number of DPOYs in the same period, Ben Wallace should be the best candidate for this award, and Howard and Gobert are also more qualified to be selected than Duncan.
However, in the actual voting process of CBS, it is difficult to put aside the amplification of a player's defensive ability by star level, team leader record and his overall achievements. Therefore, Duncan was selected as the defensive cornerstone of the Spurs dynasty. The same is true for
Chasing Dreams. He plays a core role in the Warriors Dynasty, while Garnett is an all-round defender, but because his team's overall achievements are not enough to rank third.
Best Rookie: James, Vinbanyama and Doncic
James defeated Vinbanyama strongly and won the Best Rookie Award. The reason for his victory was because of his comprehensiveness and the improvement of his team's record.
More importantly, James received unprecedented publicity from the media before entering the league. As a result, he also performed as he deserved after entering the league. Not letting down expectations is the core reason for him to win the top spot. There are not many rookie players who can do this.
Best coaches: Popovich, Phil Jackson and Spoo
If you look at the number of champions and dynasties, Phil Jackson has an absolute advantage, but from the perspective of the continuation of tactical concepts and systems and its impact on modern basketball, Phil Jackson is difficult to compare with Popovich.
Triangular offense almost disappeared in the small ball era, and the Spurs coach trained by Popovich has become half of the NBA.
The best sixth man: Manu, Iguodala and Luwei
If we look at the number of people we get, Luwei should get a higher ranking, but in terms of actual ability and game influence, Manu and Iguodala deserve the corresponding position.
Manu and Iguodala both have the ability to start, and the reason they play the role of the sixth man is mainly for the team's victory.
Especially Manuginobili, Manu led Argentina to defeat the American Dream Team in the international arena during his peak period, which shows his top ability.
Best Executive: RC Buford, Presti and Riley
represent three completely different team building ideas and styles. Among them, Spurs executive RC Buford not only established a dynasty with competitive championships for nearly 20 years, but also shaped the Spurs system and unique team culture.
Presti relied on his top vision and training system to select the third young master of the Thunder and the third young master of the new Thunder. He won the first championship in the team's history as he wished last season and is expected to establish a dynasty team.
Riley, who is in charge of the team, fell behind in today's small ball era, especially after falling out with Butler, his style of behavior seems to be unable to live in harmony with the new generation of young players.
Best Key Player: The selection of James, Nowitzki and Kobe
has certain controversy. James' ability to play the key ball has always been questioned, but in terms of the number of key ball hits, James does have the advantage.
Therefore, from which angle to measure key players becomes the key. If we look at rationality, James is indeed the best key player in the 21st century. He can always make the most correct decision at critical moments and hand the ball to the most reasonable open players, rather than forcibly ending it by himself.
