O Neal s 21st Century Best Team: Harden and Paul s Third Team, KD Second Team, No Suspense

The NBA arena in the 21st century is full of stars, with countless legendary stars born, from the "Four Major Scorebacks" to the "Four Heroes", to Curry, Durant, Harden, and now Antetokounmpo, Jokic, etc. The emergence of these players not only made the NBA international, but also accelerated the development of basketball.

Recently, the "Big Shark" O'Neal selected the NBA's best team from the 21st century to the present and divided it into 1-3 teams, which aroused heated discussions among fans. Let’s take a look at the specific situation of this lineup.

Best three teams: Paul, Harden, Garnett, Nowitzki, Howard

Although Paul and Harden have not reached the championship so far, their strength is unquestionable. The former was once recognized as the first point guard in the league. The assist king was lenient and was selected for one team and one defense many times. The latter has scored three consecutive goals and scored an epic performance of 36.1 points per game in a single season. His offensive talent is no less than Jordan Kobe.

Garnett and Nowitzki are undoubtedly the best power forwards of this era. Both have been elected as regular season MVPs and both shine on the stage of the finals. Howard is known as the "Warcraft" for his explosive physical fitness. He is extremely dominant on both sides of the offense and defense. He has been elected as the best defensive player, rebounding king and blocking king many times.

The Best Second Team: Nash, Wade, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Jokic

Nash is a passer master and also has outstanding scoring ability. He has been the regular season MVP for two consecutive years and led the Suns to play a gorgeous running basketball that year. Wade is a Heat legend, known for his outstanding scoring ability and defensive skills, leading the Heat to the championship three times in his career. Durant is a scoring machine, he is almost unable to be defended on the offensive end, and winning the score king with four consecutive hits is enough to say everything.

Antesco is known as the most outstanding offensive and defensive player in active service. He has won many honors such as the championship, Finals MVP, regular season MVP, and Best Defensive Player. Jokic is recognized as the number one player in the NBA today. In addition to being elected as a regular season MVP three times, he also led the Nuggets to win the first championship in team history.

Best Team: Curry, Kobe, James, Duncan, O'Neal

The five players are not only the leaders in their respective positions, but also the core leaders of the dynasty team. Curry was the pioneer of the small ball era, with his three-point league titles and four championship trophys for the Warriors. Kobe is known as the second-most-scoring defender after Jordan, and his offense and defensive performance is at the top level. At the same time, his Mamba spirit is also regarded as a professional benchmark by many athletes.

James is the NBA face of this era. He has won four championships, four Finals MVPs, four regular season MVPs, historical scoring champions, and "411" record. It can be said that the above achievements alone are enough to make him enter the best discussion range in history.

Duncan is recognized as the No. 1 power forward in history and the founder of the Spurs dynasty. He has led the team to the playoffs for 19 consecutive years and won five championship trophys. O'Neal is undoubtedly the most dominant center in history. The Lakers won three consecutive championships that year, which was enough to prove his strength.
