Chapter 1043 (1/2)
As soon as link returned to Memphis, he found himself a hot topic again.
But it's not his performance in the last game that people are talking about, but the historical ranking of a basketball writer.
In the afternoon, Bill Simmons had to respond to the hot discussions of fans on his social media after a huge stir and quarrel on bill Simmons' hall of fame pyramid ranking.
”First of all, I think that link is worthy of such a ranking. For one thing, he has done things that many people have never done, and all the records he has broken can make you dazzled. His strength, his versatility, is also many great players can not match
”Of course, some people will say that he has only three championship rings. God, three rings are enough, and only two are great players like Hakim Olajuwon! And these three rings, or three consecutive seasons to get. Isn't a player who built a dynasty deserve to be rewarded? Count with your fingers, there are several people in NBA history who can lead the team to win three consecutive titles
”Besides, link's career is not over. I'm quite sure that the number of rings in his hands will not stay at three all the time. Do you know why I only ranked him sixth? Because he has not yet reached his final form. If link gets a few more rings in the future, let alone surpass Kobe, I might put him in front of Michael
”Also, this is my goddamn leaderboard. I can arrange whatever I want, and don't look if I don't like it!”
Simmons's response is very tough, not to ”kneel and lick” the fans.
In fact, link and Simmons are similar in some ways.
Link is a ”villain” in the league, and Simmons is considered the most difficult writer to discipline in ESPN.
He has always been a man of his own. No matter to the fans or the stars, they never give lip service.
Because in his concept, there are few people in the world who know NBA better than him.
If what he says is not authoritative, what others say is farting.
Simmons did not accept the fans' advice at all, stubbornly believed that link's ranking was not high at all.
Instead of calming down the debate, this has made things worse.
As a result, it was even led to link's opponent, Chris Paul.
”I don't care what his ranking is. I don't care at all. No matter where he is, we will do our best to win today Paul had a serious look, and he didn't want to join the fray.
It's been five years since Paul joined the Clippers. When he joined the clippers, the expectations for him and Griffin were very high.
But in the past five years, Paul's career achievement has almost stagnated.
Don't mention the championship. He and the Clippers haven't even touched the edge of the western conference championship.
