US media divides players into grades based on their fast break capabilities: Curry s fourth gear, Jordan s second gear, and 3 players in one gear

There are many ways to score in the NBA and there are many tactical styles. Nowadays, everyone is playing fast and playing fast breaks as fast as possible. This can reduce time loss and also have unexpected effects. In fact, there is no shortage of players with excellent fast breaks in any era in the NBA. After all, this kind of scoring method is easier. It is worth mentioning that recently, the US media has divided the players according to their ability to get fast breaks. Let's take a look. Is it reasonable?
The fifth level is basically some players who are good at counterattacking and completing fast attacks. There are many players in this level: Drexler, Paul, Billups, Gary Payton, Rondo, Penny Hardaway, and three other forwards are Durant, Dr. J Irving and Sean Camp. The defenders are all good at counterattacking immediately after stealing, but their finishing efficiency is not very good. Perhaps these players have excellent finishing in the backcourt players.
Durant's fast break is not uncommon, and relying on his outstanding height and stride, he can easily complete the dunk. Sean Kemp is a representative of the violent stream. He not only has fast speed enough when he goes to the fast break, but often performs performing dunks, etc. The same is true for Dr. J. Irving. Although the glider is called the Western Jordan, he can only be regarded as the shrinking version of Jordan in all aspects, a 80% Jordan, but this is also very powerful.
The fourth level
The finale is more efficient than the previous level in the fast break, and there are obviously more center players in this level: McGrady, Ginobili, Bird, Pippen, Barkley, Parker, Curry and Chamberlain. Curry's fast attack ability has always been underestimated. His chasing layups and three-pointers are all big killers. It is also surprising that Chamberlain, as a center, was able to enter this list.
However, considering the coach's athletic ability, it is normal for him to enter this list. After all, many backcourt players are not as fast as him in 100 meters, and they are talented. Although Barkley is a power forward, his athletic ability is better than most small forwards, and his strength is also top-notch. Ginobili was very good at counterattacking fast attacks after stealing when he was young. McGrady could easily get rid of the defenders and complete the attack with his outstanding explosive power.
The third level
There are Ross, Wade, Nash, Bill, Kobe and Big O. Seeing this, there may be fans who have questions: Can Nash play fast break ending ability? Nash is the founder of running and shooting, the founder of 7-second fast attack. Think about what the concept of 7-second? Not only can he end it himself, but he can also feed his teammates a cake. Oscar Robertson, a small player in the 1960s, averaged 30+ games in 6 seasons because of his outstanding fast attack ability.
Kobe and Wade are the top three point guards in history, it is reasonable for them to enter this level. Ross and Bill are representative figures of the speed backcourt. If it weren't for the two who rely too much on their physical playing style, they wouldn't have lost their peak early due to injuries. However, the two were indeed powerful at their peak. You know that he was going to break through and kill, but they just couldn't defend themselves. The fast attack was even a person who couldn't even catch up with the taillights. It was so amazing.
The second level
The level is the top fast breakers in history. Everyone knows Westbrook well. If you have a disagreement, you will have a fast break counterattack and dunk dunk, and you can even dunk your opponent's big center, making the opponent helpless. Westbrook's physical fitness is also exaggerated enough. If he is allowed to have the height of James, he will probably be the next James, a weakened version of the projection. Kidd has good physical fitness. He can pass and singles well, whether it is fast or slow.
Jordan is also in this category. It is quite surprising that Jordan did not enter the first category. I think one of the main reasons why he failed to enter the first category is that there are too many positions in Jordan's era. Many times, when they see that it is not an absolutely good opportunity for fast attack, they will stabilize the rhythm and play the position. Therefore, Jordan's fast attack ability has also been ignored. Iverson is also a master of fast attack, and I think he should be on par with Kobe and Wade. There are only three players in the first level, Magic, James and Antetokounmpo. Many fans have guessed that these three are too strong when taking fast breaks, especially James and Antetokounmpo. You know that he wants to hit the basket at the fast break, but you can't defend it. Even if you say that a player on him can't stop him from rushing into the inside, you can't stop him from rushing into the inside. You can't stop him. Now James is no longer able to do it. In the past, James may be better than the letters.
The Magician's basket damage may not be as unsolvable as Antetokounmpo and James, but he is also a top-notch existence, and the Magician's passing is better. He helped the Lakers create Showtime back then, and his passing ability is better during the marching, so he also entered this level. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about this level? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
