U.S. media comment on jersey numbers representing superstars: James has two legendary backgrounds, and Kobe Curry is also on the list

Friends who know the NBA know that many superstars have special reasons behind their choice of jersey numbers. Some of them are habits developed since childhood. Of course, many players do it to pay tribute to their idols or remember their predecessors, but what they have in common is that they all have an extremely brilliant career.

The American media hoopshype selected each jersey number to represent the superstars in NBA history. James is very embarrassed. He became the background of two legends and simply failed to make the finals. In addition, the achievements of Kobe, Curry and Durant in their respective jersey numbers are indeed difficult to compare with, so there is no doubt that they will be on the list.

James is a bit unlucky. Although many people recognize him as second in history in terms of his current historical status, when he wore the No. 6 jersey, his honor was not that prominent. Although he helped the Heat win two championships and James also won the FMVP award, after all, they are a team of the Big Three, and the accumulated honors are not too many. On the contrary, the representative superstar No. 6 is the great "Lord of the Rings" Celtics legend Russell, and James is really inferior.

But when it comes to No. 23, James is still at a disadvantage, because the representative king of this number is the god of basketball, Michael Jordan. So James has nothing to do. Except for these two legends, he basically kills other competitors in an instant, but he has no choice but to serve as a background. Of course, there are indeed many superstars No. 23. Even current players like Anthony Davis and Draymond Green have achieved impressive results.

Some other superstars we are familiar with appear on this list, among which Kobe Bryant was shortlisted twice. First of all, during the No. 8 period, Kobe showed his invincible scoring ability in the later period. In addition, the competition for this number is really not too fierce. Kobe has no opponents at all. On the contrary, the gold content of the No. 24 jersey seems to be very high, because the competitors include Rick Barry, Moses Malone and Sam Jones, etc. Paul George is not qualified at all.

Before Curry came out, the No. 30 jersey was considered unpopular. Only Bernard King and McGinnis were famous. However, Curry became the fig leaf of this number and the real talker. Other contenders include No. 0. Westbrook was elected over Lillard, Tatum and Arenas. McGrady replaced "Big O" Robertson at No. 1, which caused a lot of controversy. In addition, Chamberlain, Jokic, Duncan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also appeared on this list.
