Looking at NBA history, only 5 people have enjoyed the "treatment" of four or five people, James is on the list

In the long history of the NBA, there are always some players who stand out in the crowd, with outstanding personal abilities. Once they get the ball, they will be double-teamed by four or five people. There are very few people who can enjoy this kind of treatment in the NBA. Judging from the history of the NBA, only the following 5 players have truly enjoyed this kind of treatment.

1: Kobe

Kobe

Kobe has excellent personal skills. It can be said that he is proficient in everything on the offensive end. In addition, Kobe is paranoid and loves to fight alone. Often, as soon as Kobe receives the ball, his opponent will take assisted defense to limit Kobe's passing or breakthroughs. However, the more this happens, the more Kobe is inclined to use his personal ability to complete his shooting. Do you remember that in the 2009 finals, Kobe faced the Magic's four-man defense and jumped off the building and hit it. Kobe's career is a strong offensive approach that is a big fan favorite.

2: Curry's three-pointer at his peak can be said to be unsolvable. As long as Curry gets the ball, his opponents basically use the method of siege defense to defend Curry. In the 2016 game against the Celtics, all the Celtics players directly gave up their respective defenses and directly surrounded Curry. In the 2019 finals, the Raptors formulated a tactic to target Curry, which was to use 4 players to defend Curry in the area, plus one person to defend Curry closely. These cases are enough to prove how insolvable Curry's three-pointer at his peak.

3: Jordan

Playing in Jordan's era can be said to be too strong and the defense is savage. The Pistons have used all methods to target Jordan. Three to four people have directly pulled in the air, or elbows or even hugged each other. In general, as long as Jordan can be prevented from scoring, all kinds of barbaric methods have been used. Later, the league had no choice but to reform the rules to limit this malicious foul. It can be said that Jordan used his superb personal skills to make his opponent reach a desperate state.

4: O'Neal

O'Neal is the most dominant center in the NBA league. He is 2.16 meters tall and 315 pounds. He is basically unpredictable at the basket. His personal skills are relatively comprehensive except for free throws. Especially for low-level singles, the ability to move under the feet. At the basket, we often see O'Neal attracting double-teams of 3 to 5 players, especially in the 2000 Finals, the Pacers used 4 players to defend O'Neal from the basket, but in the end it was ineffective, and finally used the shark-cutting tactic to limit O'Neal. It can be said that O'Neal at his peak could give birth to the league's three-second defense clause, which is enough to prove everything.

5: James

The early days of James can be said to have a very obvious physical advantage. He uses a strong body to use a tank-like breakthrough, and basically no one can defend himself. Generally, four people need to surround James. Just as Popovich said, he would rather let James shoot than let James break through. Although James has already passed and organized more, James' breakthroughs are still very threatening. As long as James hits the basket, it will still attract the opponent's team to consciousness and shrink its defense.
