"Link is very strong, and there are probably few players in the league who can dominate him. Being in front of him made me feel hopeless. ”

That's what Wiggins said to reporters three days ago after the Grizzlies bloodied the Timberwolves in Minnesota.

Generally speaking, young players with high potential are rarely willing to concede, especially if they don't accept star players who have established themselves in the league.

For example, when Kobe Bryant entered the league, he refused to accept Jordan.

When James entered the league with the aura of "The Chosen One", he didn't think he was worse than Kobe.

As soon as they entered the league, they began to play against the best players in the league.

But Wiggins, who is known as the champion comparable to James, vividly reflects his helplessness, and has no intention of making Link an enemy at all.

He didn't say, "I'm looking forward to my next fight with Link." ”

He also didn't say, "I'll continue to work hard and try to do better next time." ”

Instead, he said, "Link makes me feel hopeless." ”

So after the interview that day, Wiggins was ridiculed by the crowd.

People say he lost his heart at a young age.

said that he had no ambition at all for a champion.

I don't have the desire to win that a great player has, and I'm sorry for his talent.

It is said that Wiggins' attitude towards the game and strong opponents doomed him to not being a great player.

Originally, many people wanted to wait for the Grizzlies and Bucks game and use Antetokounmpo to hack Wiggins in reverse.

As everyone knows, Antetokounmpo also failed miserably against Link. And, he agrees with Wiggins' statement!

As it turns out, Wiggins is not as bad as people say he is.

He's not cowardly, he's just telling the truth. He, like all the other young people, tried his best, but he was still beaten to the ground.

Link is really strong, he is indeed a nightmare for all rising stars, and he makes these newcomers understand that "if you work hard, you can win the game" is nothing more than a lie.

With a player like Antetokounmpo and terrifying talent like that, how can you expect other youngsters to do better?

It can be said that after this game, Wiggins was saved by Antetokounmpo.

Now everyone knows that Wiggins wasn't wrong. Because all the new stars of this alliance are powerless in front of Link!

In his post-match press conference, Antetokounmpo also acknowledged the huge gap between himself and Link.

"I said last season that the best players in the league wear Grizzlies jerseys. But to be honest, Link was more powerful than I thought. ”

"I didn't stand a chance at all, he seemed to be able to predict all my movements. My every move is completely under his control. ”

"Link was impeccable on the offensive end, and I tried to use my height and reach to interfere with him, but it didn't work."

"Even though last season's championship was the Warriors, I still think Link is the best player in the league. How so? He's one of those characters at the top of the pyramid. I hope I'll be able to catch up with him someday, but certainly not now. ”

As Link's little fan, Antetokounmpo didn't complain after losing the game, but generously acknowledged Link's greatness.

But from a physical condition so exaggerated, and the last game just crushed Paul. George's players couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this.

Is there a boundary to Link's strength?

Was the Warriors' ability to defeat Link last season an accident or a proof of true strength?

With the Grizzlies having such a good momentum this year, can they really regain the championship after just one year?

If Antetokounmpo praised Link, it was because he already had a crush on Link.

Nakidd's praise of Link at the press conference is impossible to fault with.

"Link is a smart player who knows how to solve the situation in front of him and that's what sets him apart the most. A lot of people are focused on Link's bounce and his accurate shooting, but I think he's the best thing about him. Kidd said, gesturing at his head.

Link's guy is as mature on the court as a 40-year-old old ballruffian!

Kidd knew that experience was something that couldn't be quickly formed. But when he and the Mavericks faced the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals in 2011, Link, then a first-year, showed incredible maturity and sophistication.

Yes, experience doesn't accumulate quickly. But there are always a few exceptions in this world, and Link is one of them.

The entire Bucks' press conference seemed to have turned into Link's commendation meeting.

Antetokounmpo and Kidd acknowledging their defeat while praising Link really left the reporters speechless.

What they wanted to see was a war of words between the two sides, but what they didn't expect was all one-sided praise for Link.

The day after the match, when Kidd and Antetokounmpo's praise for Link was flying all over the net, Bill. Simmons made another big news piece right after.

He updated his column with the much-anticipated "Hall of Fame Pyramid."

This column was first updated in 2010, and as the name suggests, the so-called "Hall of Fame Pyramid" is Bill. Simmons has made a ranking of all the great NBA players in history.

From the bottom to the top of the pyramid, a total of 96 people were selected. And these 96 people are also ranked in order.

This "Hall of Fame Pyramid" counts all the players in the history of the league, so both current and retired players are among them.

This kind of drama of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" makes fans talk about it with relish.

However, since 2010, the column has not been updated a second time.

Now, six years later, the situation in the alliance is very different from what it was back then. Kobe Bryant has left, and James and the Heat have failed to reach the heights they expected.

Therefore, everyone is eager to know if Bill. Simmons is ranked again, and what kind of changes will be made in the rankings.

For this reason, fans have been arguing on basketball forums for a while.

Results today, Bill. Simmons' "Hall of Fame Pyramid" has been updated and his rankings are really here!

Fans flocked to Bill with excitement. Simmons's column, which even caused the server to be paralyzed at one point.

Otherwise, what to say about Bill. Simmons is one of the most influential basketball writers in the world.

Less than ten minutes after the "Hall of Fame Pyramid" was updated, basketball forums in all parts of the world exploded.

Because this time the ranking is very different from last time, and it is quite controversial!

In 2010, Vince was ranked 89th. Carter, this time ahead of "Rain Man" Kemp, Robert. Horry, Dwight. Howard and Maddie and other gods soared 12 places to 77th place!

The reason is simple, Carter has an extra championship ring than 6 years ago!

In 2010, Simmons predicted that the aging Carter would retire uneventfully, and that he would never be able to make any spectacular performances in the playoffs in his lifetime.

As a result, the veteran, who is almost 40 years old, is still fighting.

And, his 15-year redemption shot in the bottom left corner of the playoffs and his eventual championship with the Grizzlies surpassed Beal's. Simmons' expectations.

So this time, he moved up Carter's rankings, placing him ahead of Maddie, who didn't have a championship, and Howard, who is now playing poorly.

Since then, Kidd and Nowitzki have also moved up the rankings.

Because at the time it was estimated that Bill. Simmons could never have imagined that these two veterans would be able to tenaciously win the championship a year after he cleared the "pyramid".

Kidd and Dirk were originally ranked 43rd and 39th, but now, Kidd has surpassed Nash, Kevin. McHale et al. ranked 30th!

Compared to Nash, Kidd won the championship after all, and played a key role in the championship season, so he is now ranked higher than Nash.

Nowitzki moved up to No. 26, ahead of Garnett, Isaiah. Thomas, Pippen, and John. Great players like Stockton.

That is, 26th place is already a very high position.

You know, before winning the championship in '11, Dirk was not welcomed. At that time, he had nothing to do with the word "great". People prefer to call him a soft egg rather than great.

But the 10-11 super god season turned the "German tank" salted fish over. He has not only earned honor, but also respect.

As a result, Simmons adjusted Dirk's ranking, and Nowitzki deserved the award.

After that, James soared from the original 20th to 13th.

In the past 6 years, James has gone from the top 20 crane tail in history to the top 15 in history.

Bill. When Simmons did this "pyramid" in 10 years, James didn't have a championship and didn't even announce that he was going to join the Heat.

But with his strong individual ability, Simmons still put the uncrowned James in No. 20.

While the Heat won a championship, James also entered the total consciousness for 6 consecutive years!

This puts him ahead of Barkley, Elgin. Baylor, Julius. Owen and Moses. Ma Long and other historical celebrities are temporarily ranked 13th!

And the two above James's head are Olajuwon and O'Neal, two historical monsters.

If James wins more championships, he may be able to move further in the rankings.

However, in the end, fans found that whether it was Carter, Kidd, Dirk or James, their rankings did not change the most.

This year, the player with the biggest change in rankings has directly surpassed 90 players!

In 2010, this player had not yet entered the "pyramid".

But now, he's been replaced by Bill. Simmons took sixth place in the pyramid, replacing the one that had belonged to Wilt. Chamberlain's location!

The top five Jordans, Beals. Russell, Abdul-Jabbar, "The Magician" and Bird, in addition to their own personal honors, also have a lot of historical status bonuses.

Because the five of them are not just a matter of personal honor, but drive the development of the entire league.

Therefore, the top five rankings are generally considered unshakable.

And the sixth-ranked one, to put it bluntly, is actually a super basketball superstar who Simmons believes can be on an equal footing with the top five after putting aside historical and other factors!

is a player between god and man.

Previously, Bill. Simmons left that position to Chamberlain, even though he hated the guy so much.

And now, he thinks this man is Link!

Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe Bryant and "Logo Man" Jerry. West and other legends have been forced by Link to drop one place in the rankings!

There is no doubt that Link has become the most controversial of this "pyramid".

Ranked sixth, second only to those five "gods". Moreover, it is the highest ranking among active players!

Bill. Simmons' praise for Link caught everyone off guard! Link's appearance is also the reason why this "pyramid" update is so popular.

The strongest in active service, or rather, the greatest in history!

People are curious, is Link really worthy of this position?
