The top 100 stars in the open-air stands sparked controversy! Kobe ranked 11th Curry entered the top ten, O Neal angrily denounced: This is a crime

The latest list of top 100 NBA history stars released by "Open Stands" is like a deep water bomb, instantly detonating the entire basketball world. Michael Jordan is still firmly ranked first in the altar, and LeBron James is next to second, which is expected.

But the tenth and eleventh place on the list - Stephen Curry ranked tenth and Kobe Bryant ranked eleventh - caused a huge wave. At this moment, historical rankings are no longer a dusty record, but have become the fuse to ignite the passion of fans.

Kobe Bryant, the Lakers legend, who has 5 championship trophys, 18 All-Stars, and has been regarded as a god by countless fans, has historically fallen out of the top ten list. Instead, the Warriors' Stephen Curry, a three-point shooter who changed his modern basketball style, made it to the top ten all-time for the first time. This position exchange was like a heavy punch, hitting the hearts of Kobe fans around the world.

Kobe's achievements are unquestionable: 5 championships, 2 Finals MVPs, and 1 regular season MVP, ranking third in NBA history in total scores. In almost all mainstream media selections in the past, Kobe has firmly ranked in the top ten in history and is often regarded as the top ten "goalkeeper". This ranking immediately attracted heavyweight bombardment. Kobe's former teammate and Shaquille O'Neal, who had won three championship trophys with him, criticized without any mercy: "This is simply a crime!" The relationship between O'Neal and Kobe has experienced twists and turns, but at this moment he firmly speaks for his former partner. As early as in an interview in 2023, O'Neal made it clear that Kobe must be the best team in his heart. Clay Thompson, who is currently playing for the Mavericks, also couldn't hide his anger: "It's incredible to see Kobe so disrespectful. In which world would he be ranked 11th in history? But this situation has really been out of control for a while. To be honest, if he was still alive, this disrespect would not exist at all."

The ranking dispute between Kobe and Curry is not the only powder keg on the list. This top 100 list is almost full of topics:

Jokic ranked 17th, surpassing the two legendary centers, David Robinson (19th) and Olajuwon (12th). The Serbian center rewrites the traditional inside evaluation system with the subversive play of "center point guard".

Durant ranked 13th, and the four-time scoring champion surpassed ancient beasts such as Jerry West (15th), but still lags behind Oscar Robertson (14th). His position reflects the delicate balance between data honors and moral judgments of “submitting to the enemy and competing for the championship”.

Westbrook's rankings of 48th place and 45th place in Davis sparked discussion. Westbrook is a triple-double king in history, with dazzling personal data. Although Davis has the championship, his personal achievements are slightly inferior. Thompson's position of only 98th is hard for Warriors fans to accept. As a core member of the Warriors Dynasty, his historic projection ability seems to be underrecognized.

After all the debates about historical rankings are fans looking for coordinate systems for their youth. The 1970s quarreled over who is greater, Jabbar or Russell, the 1980s quarreled over who should be fifth, and the 1990s quarrels with Curry or Durant, who is more suitable for the top ten. These quarrels themselves prove the charm of the NBA - it has never been a cold digital game, but a faith totem that carries the passion and tears of countless people.
