Since Jordan retired, it can be said that there are very few players who have convinced their opponents with absolute dominance. Judging from the performance of the field, personal honors and data, only 5 players have impressed the entire NBA with absolute dominance since Jordan.

1: O'Neal

Jordan created two three consecutive championships in his career, and O'Neal also won a three-game championship for the Lakers from 1999 to 2000. The FMVPs of the three championships were O'Neal. Because no one can defeat the basket and the penalty area, he has extremely strong destructive power, almost no one can defend, and he can contribute 29 points and 13 rebounds per game. In order to limit O'Neal's current situation, the league modified the league rules, and then developed the shark-cutting tactic, but it can be said that the results are very little. It can be said that O'Neal dominates the 00-04 season with absolute dominance.

2: Duncan

Duncan's career can be said to be very low-key and introverted. He averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks in his 19 years of career, bringing 5 championships to the Spurs, including 3 Finals FMVP, and the winning rate of the Spurs with Duncan is more than 60%. He has been selected into the Best Team for a total of 15 times in his career and is currently the No. 1 in NBA history. Although he does not have many outstanding data in his career, Duncan's stable performance and output run through the times. It can be said that Duncan is a cornerstone player and any system team building.

3: Kobe

Kobe is recognized as the strongest point guard after Jordan. He is a player with extremely high offensive and defensive efficiency. He was selected for one team 11 times and one defense 9 times. 81 points in his career and 60 points in his retirement tour were all impressed by the opponent. Since O'Neal left the Lakers in 2004, Kobe has led the team many times but failed to enter the playoffs. It was questioned by everyone. Kobe, who has the spirit of Mamba, led the team twice to win the championship in 2009 and 2010, shattering all kinds of doubts. Looking at Kobe's career, it was definitely Kobe's era from 2006 to 2010, whether in terms of influence and dominance.

4: James

James has won 4 championships in 22 seasons, 4 Finals FMVPs, and 4 regular season MVPs. So far, he has reached the first place in 42,000+ points, 25th in history in history in history in 11,673+ rebounds, and 4th in history in history in history. Through this data, it can be said that James is the most comprehensive player in NBA history. He has dominated the Eastern Conference for many years and has led three different teams to win championships in his career. Although James is 40 years old, he still maintains the average of 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. It can be said that James has his own offensive and defensive system in his career. No matter who goes to any team, he needs to build a team around James. He is an evergreen superstar in the NBA.

5: Curry

As the pioneer of the small ball era, Curry conquered his opponents and the league with his precise three-point ability. 402 three-pointers and 73 wins in a single season are unforgettable miracles for fans. So far, Curry has achieved 4,000+ three-pointers, ranking first in NBA history. This miracle is also something that future generations may not overcome. He has won 4 championships for the Warriors. Looking at Curry's career, using precise three-pointers to attract multiple opponents to double-team. Fighting for more mobile phones for his teammates will improve the team's scoring efficiency and force each team to adjust his defensive strategy. Curry's dominance is no less than the top four players. Although Durant's personal honor in his career is also extremely brilliant, he has 2 championships, 2 Finals FMVP, and 4 scoring champions, he is only a mercenary and lacks the leadership temperament in leading the team. He basically overlaps with James and Curry at his peak and has never been recognized by his opponents and teammates.
