1:36pm, 23 September 2025【Basketball】
How to judge whether a player is a super giant in the NBA? It is the most authoritative to see his performance in tough battles. If a player becomes more and more outstanding in tough battles, then this player is likely to be a top star. Curry, Durant and James are all players of this type among the active players. It is worth mentioning that a host of the US media selected the top 10 strongest personal performances in the 21st century. Let’s take a look at who is on the list.
10th Curry
Curry was in the G5 of the 2215 Finals. In this game, Curry made 13 of 23 shots, made 7 of 13 three-pointers, scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the Warriors to defeat the Cavaliers. Before this game, James led the Cavaliers to lead 2-1. If he loses again, the Warriors will likely have to pay the gun. As a result, Curry turned the tide and scored 17 points in the final quarter. Unfortunately, the MVP of this year's finals was not given to Curry.
Ninth Leonard
Leonard was in the G7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals. He made 16 of 39 shots in the game, made 2 of 9 three-pointers, scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Although his efficiency was not very good, Leonard hit a final in this game, and this mid-range shot also helped the Raptors advance to the division finals. The scene of Embiid crying is still fresh in memory. It is precisely because of his unsolvable performance that the little card won the title of Jordan this year. In the 18th West Finals G7, Durant and the Warriors fought to the tiebreak in the Western Conference Finals by five teams that relied on unlimited switchovers. Although the Rockets lacked Paul, both sides were already very familiar with each other. They also played very stalemate in the early stage of the game. The Rockets even led the lead in the first half. As a result, Durant completed a reversal in the second half. Durant made 11 of 21 shots in the whole game, 5 of 11 three-pointers and scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks. The efficiency was great.
Seventh Wade
In G3 in the 2006 finals, the Mavericks were already leading the Heat 2-0 with a big score. If they lose in this game, the Heat can give up the series in advance. Wade, who returned to his home court, obviously wanted to win a game back. He made 14 of 26 shots in the game, made 13 of 18 free throws, and scored 42 points, 13 rebounds and 2 steals in the game. Wade in this game was like he was in a state of no one and couldn't defend himself at all, and he might even have to take a foul.
The Sixth Nowitzki
In G2 in the 2011 finals, the Mavericks completed a big reversal. After they lost the first game, if they lost again, they would obviously be very passive in the next series. At the end of the first three quarters, the Mavericks were already 15 points behind. It seems that they really have a chance to complete the reversal. As a result, the King of Nova scored 9 points in the final quarter and completed a layup at the last moment. He made 10 of 22 shots in the whole game, scoring 24 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
Fifth James
The G6 Heat lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in the 12th finals. They had no way out in this game. Under such circumstances, James staged a desperate situation of James' strong strength. His death pupil is still impressive. In this game, James made 19 of 26 shots in the game, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, scored 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. He relied on his own to defeat the Celtics' iron-blooded defense. After entering the tiebreak, he also led the team to defeat the opponent.
The fourth Antetokounmpo
In the 21 finals G6, the Bucks had 3-2 Suns before this game. If they could win this game, they would win the championship. In this game, Antetokounmpo showed O'Neal's sense of déjà, which could not be defended at all. He made 16 of 25 shots in the game, made 17 of 19 free throws, and scored 50 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks, dominating both ends of offense and defense. Ayton was completely defeated and his mentality was surprisingly in good condition.
Third James
The G7 in the 13th finals, before the G6 relied on Ray Allen's desperate three-pointer, and the Heat were narrowly passing. Duncan angrily slapped the floor. In fact, Duncan had guessed the result at that time. If he fought in the tiebreak, his opponents would have James and Wade, two top five stars in the league who were in his peak period. They could not beat them no matter what. In the end, the fact was the same. James made 12 of 23 shots in the tiebreak, made 5 of 10 three-pointers, scored 37 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Second Curry
In the G4 of the 22 finals, the Warriors fell behind the Celtics 1-2 in the previous three games. It can be said that the winning of this game completely defeated the young Celtics' mentality. Curry made 14 of 26 shots in this game, made 7 of 14 three-pointers and scored 43 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Curry this year can be said to be the true peak of his career. His condition is still very outstanding, but his finishing ability is far beyond his previous one. In the end, he won the FMVP trophy this year.
No. 1 James
This year, many fans have guessed that it is James in 2016. To be honest, they are quite unprofessional. They originally chose one game before, but this turned out to be the entire series in 2016. After all, they have achieved the only big score 1-3 backward reversal in history, and the two teams are the first in five statistics. It seems that he is worthy of being selected, averaging 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks.
