NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

[The tragic later years of the four great shooting guards].

The discussion surrounding this keyword is even higher than that surrounding "[Iverson doesn't play as a substitute]".

"This league must have had its 'Big Four' shooting guards: East Iverson, West Kobe, South McGrady, and North Carolina. These are memories for so many people."

"Yes.

Back then, many times, winning or losing wasn't the point of the game; all we wanted was to watch the "Big Four" shooting guards play and enjoy their dazzling, diverse scoring opportunities.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the era of the "Big Four" shooting guards will eventually pass.

Many of the current top four shooting guards are nearing the end of their careers; these once-glorious stars have grown old.

Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball".

In the year he retired, at the age of 40, he was still able to average 20+ points per game and maintain a respectable appearance.

But the "Big Four" shooting guards fared much worse.

First and foremost is Allen Iverson, who never plays off the bench. At only 34 years old, he averaged just 17.2 points per game last season, a dismal performance.

I played three games off the bench for the Grizzlies this season, which was unacceptable, but even starting him has led to a situation where nobody wants me.

At last.

His hometown team, the 76ers, welcomed the "Son of Philadelphia" home, giving him a starting role and a final moment of dignity.

This is also a way of thanking Iverson for his contributions and the honors he has won for the 76ers over the years.

but.

AI is old. He has been ruined by injuries. He is no longer the "Golden Generation of '96," the strongest and most invincible unruly genius.

just now.

He was already at a disadvantage defensively, and without speed and explosiveness, he became a sieve, a target for almost every opponent to exploit.

Attack one end.

Without his speed, he couldn't shake off his opponents when shooting, and he couldn't finish his drives, resulting in extremely poor offensive efficiency.

The man who could once shake off even the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan now finds it incredibly difficult to get past opponents.

He used to be the undisputed leader of the 76ers and the most crucial player in the team's victories, but now, whenever he's on the court, his plus-minus is always negative.

He always drags the team down whenever he's on the field.

Iverson's abysmal performance, after repeatedly stating that he would never play as a substitute, is truly regrettable.

Haters went wild and started attacking.

True fans sighed with regret.

Another of the "Big Four" shooting guards, T-Mac, is also having a rough time, even worse than Allen Iverson.

Former Magic leader, two-time scoring champion, the Rockets' "Yao-McGrady duo," the "McGrady Moment" with 13 points in 35 seconds, and so on.

The scenery is infinite.

However, due to constant injuries, he gradually became mediocre, averaging only 15.1 points per game last season with a shooting percentage of less than 40%.

He played 6 games for the Rockets this year, averaging a paltry 3.2 points per game, and was immediately put on the trading block.

No matter how well the "Yao-McGrady duo" played, how much popularity they gained, or how many fans' youth they captured, it didn't matter.

but.

Once they lose their ability, they will be immediately abandoned.

This is the NBA league, just like the world of martial arts or even the world of immortals in novels, where the strong prey on the weak and strength reigns supreme.

Only by being strong enough can you consistently earn respect.

But with such a lackluster performance, McGrady still has a top-ten salary in the league. Who would want him?

There are actually people who want it.

The Knicks, who are "foolish and rich," are wanted.

Taking over this business is a bit foolish.

But whatever the Knicks' management's plans, their purpose in acquiring McGrady was certainly not to simply be a fool taking over.

They weren't interested in McGrady's current ability to average 3.2 points per game.

They want McGrady purely because they value his popularity and want to capitalize on the popularity he accumulated during his peak.

This will boost the Knicks' popularity.

Before McGrady is completely abandoned by the league, squeeze out all his popularity and make a fortune.

On the surface, it seems that some teams still believe in McGrady, but in reality... McGrady has become a money-making tool for Madison Square Garden.

Tracy, once a wildly popular and flamboyant player, has now become a money-making tool for the team to boost its popularity.

This sounds so ironic, so tragic.

And Vince Carter, the "half-man, half-god," the "Ghanaian Flying Man," a four-time MVP, is a "dunking champion" who can fly high and low.

He was incredibly successful during his time with the Raptors.

As a result... after being repeatedly tripped by "Dirty Dog" Bowen, he was gradually ruined by injuries.

In 04, he went to the New Jersey Nets and formed the "New Three Musketeers" with Kidd and Richard Jefferson, aiming for the championship.

It looks very glamorous.

In fact, since joining the Nets, he has become the second-best player after Kidd.

This year, he joined forces with the Magic, teaming up with "Superman" Howard, to once again make a run for the championship, and it seems that he is once again the focus of everyone's attention.

Reality.

Upon joining the Magic, he became the third option, with Howard being the leader and Lewis, the "hundred-million-dollar man," being the team's second option.

He could only come in third.

Once one of the "Big Four" shooting guards, after years of ups and downs, he could only be the third option, and his stats and performance declined year after year.

Even the "half-man, half-god" Carter has fallen from grace.

Three of the four great shooting guards had less than satisfactory later years, and all of them suffered somewhat misfortunes.

Only Kobe, the "Black Mamba," played better and better, from the three-peat under the "OK combination" to leading the team with "81 points" and becoming a two-time scoring champion, and then winning the MVP and Finals MVP under the championship.

Kobe's accolades are numerous.

He's reached the peak of his career, aiming for his fifth championship, challenging for the title of "best active player," and ushering in his era as the "Black Mamba"!

"Sigh... Hearing you say that, it's really lamentable that the 'Big Four' shooting guards have fallen from grace. Their past was truly my youth."

"Eastern Iverson is a change-of-direction maniac, Western Kobe is the scoring champion, Southern McGrady shows off his talent, and North Carolina dominates the rim."

However... the answer eventually stopped dangling, and even Jordan couldn't defend against it.

In the end, Carter didn't become king; he became king by gliding along the wall.

In the end, McGrady didn't go crazy, firing thirteen shots in thirty-five seconds.

Apart from Kobe, all four shooting guards had tragic ends in their NBA careers, but the "Four Shooting Guards" were a cohesive unit.

One person panicked, and the other four scattered.

Our youth, the era of the "Big Four" shooting guards, is completely over.

"Times are always changing, and times will always change."

We're currently in a transitional period, so who will be the next leader of the alliance?!

Duncan, Kobe, LeBron, Howard, or...

"..."

Allen Iverson's poor performance on the court last night triggered a wave of nostalgia among fans amidst their discussions.

Memories are just memories.

Feelings are feelings.

The era of the four great shooting guards is over.

A new era will surely emerge.

How can we stagnate?

Charge forward with all your might!!!

……

Amidst the nostalgia of the "Big Four Shooting Guards" among fans, the Clippers, on a 17-game winning streak, will face the 76ers and the Knicks in succession.

The 76ers have Allen Iverson.

The Knicks have McGrady.

For some reason... the popularity of these two matches has skyrocketed!
