As soon as this list was announced, many people thought it was real at first, because it looked decent, and it was indeed the names that the media had analyzed in the past two years when there was no news to speculate on. However, they saw that the power forward was inserted. A single name¡
The degree of realism does not seem to be that high.
When many people see this name, their first reaction is - are you kidding me? False news?
But, the other names all look too real! Moreover, the editor-in-chief of this magazine stated in an interview that this is the news they received within the NBA, and the specific source does not need to be disclosed.
When the media wanted to ask NBA officials whether the exposed list was true, NBA officials refused to be interviewed.
This made the media who originally thought it was fake news dumbfounded. After the news that NBA officials refused to accept interviews spread, things became confusing
Finally, after a night of heated public opinion, at 8 a.m. the next day, in the live news program of the American cable TV station, the NBA announced the list of the top 50 superstars 4 hours in advance.
The list officially announced by the NBA is almost the same as the list exposed by the gossip media, except that Zhang Hao's name at the power forward position has been removed, and Shaq O'Neal is added between Olajuwon and Robert Parish at the center position. In terms of name, the power forward position has become 8 top 50 superstars, and the center position has become 15 top 50 superstars.
After the list was announced, David Stern appeared on the live broadcast.
After chatting with the host, David Stern said: "We spent more than a month and went through multiple rounds of voting, combining personal data, contributions to the NBA and basketball, personal honors, team honors and a series of conditions, combining the opinions of retired players, senior fans, basketball experts, professional commentators, professional announcers and other professionals to complete this voting and select the 50 most authoritative superstars , these 50 superstars will become the 50 superstar representatives of the NBA's 50th anniversary, and they will be honored at the 1997 All-Star Weekend in Cleveland.
I am very sorry that this precious list was leaked in advance due to our mistake.
But the leaked list is not accurate. We have been working hard in the past few days. We only completed the calculation of the final comprehensive score yesterday morning. When counting the top 50 players with the highest comprehensive score, we accidentally omitted the 50th player. , and accidentally put the 51st player on the list.
¡°Before we reviewed, confirmed the final list, and just sorted it alphabetically by position and last name, someone stole the list.
I¡¯m sorry for this mistake. I will strictly investigate the cause of this accident and give an explanation to the fans.
Finally, I am still very proud to announce that we have selected the 50 greatest superstars for the 50th anniversary of the NBA! "
After saying that, David Stern bowed with apologetic expression on his face
¡¡
The final result officially announced by the alliance actually said it was just an accident!
The media, fans, and experts discussed it all night and finally got this answer.
?That is to say, I just sprayed Zhang Hao for one night
However, O'Neal's selection into the top 50 was equally controversial.
Because compared with any of the other 50 superstars, regardless of statistics, personal honors, and team honors, O'Neal is the most defeated one. After all, heHe didn't disturb anyone. He knew very well what impact his absence had on the team. He couldn't continue to affect others. Before he came back, he had to rely on his teammates to get off to a good start, otherwise he would have to rely on his teammates to get off to a good start. It¡¯s still very tiring to chase.
??Especially not to disturb that guy
But the training was over, and O'Neal limped next to Zhang Hao, who was doing Kareem-style post-game physical therapy to trigger the effect of "Health Master (Bronze)".
When Zhang Hao tried to perform Kareem-style physical therapy after a training session, he discovered that this medal not only triggered the effect after the game, but also triggered the effect after normal training. That is, the consumption caused during training will also be obtained. therapeutic effect, so this aspect becomes more attentive.
The longer you fight, the longer you live
Suddenly, a fat man in a suit appeared next to him. Just as Zhang Hao was about to say a polite greeting, O'Neal said: "Akers, don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. In 10 years, when the 60 superstars are selected, you will definitely be there!"
The subtext is¡ª¡ª
Zhang Hao glanced at O'Neal, said nothing, and left directly after the physical therapy.
A little angry! You have to find a way to fight back.
Let Big Ben beat O'Neal?
The difference in tonnage is too big. If there is a peak Big Ben of over 110 kilograms in a few years, it may be okay now.
But no! Still have to think of something!
"By the way, don't I have an interview this afternoon? Let him"
¡¡
In the afternoon, after the lunch break, the Lakers began to warm up for the game against the Knicks at 5:30 in the evening.
O'Neal also came. He received an invitation for an exclusive interview. The TV station said it was best to conduct the interview at the training ground. He could express his regrets about missing the "debut day of the top 50 active superstars" and also encourage his teammates.
Today¡¯s interview is one of the few that O¡¯Neal has accepted recently that makes him happy. Because the topic of today¡¯s interview is about being selected into the top 50 superstars, O¡¯Neal is naturally very happy, and the questions asked by friendly channel Time Warner Cable Sports are also very friendly.
While O'Neal was happily being interviewed, another 50-year-old Starbuck Lee and Zhang Hao, who was almost selected into the 50-year-old superstar, barged in.
"Come to take advantage of the camera? We are too popular and there is nothing we can do about it, so let them take advantage of the camera!"
Just when O'Neal was about to cheer, Barkley asked first: "Shaq, have you ever seen fireworks?"
O¡¯Neal asked in confusion: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
"Akers and I want to set off fireworks to celebrate your selection into the 50 Greatest Stars!"
"real?"
"Really, are you ready?"
"What? Put it here? Isn't it safe!"
"Don't worry, it's safe!"
O'Neal is also interested. It's really interesting to set off fireworks in the Madison Square Garden Arena. Since it's safe, it should be no problem. If there is a problem, it's not his problem.
At this time, O'Neal saw Barkley take out a firecracker This thing, Er Pang, you call it a firecracker?
O'Neal wanted to get angry on the spot, but he only saw Barkley snap his fingers, and then made a "whoosh" sound from his mouth.
"What is this retard doing?"
O'Neal watched as Barkley raised the firecracker while making a "whoosh" sound. Sitting there, he subconsciously raised his head to look at where the firecracker was moving.
He thought that there must be some reason for this, and it couldn't be so stupid.
Then¡¡
¡°Kang, ang, ang, ang, ang¡¡±
O'Neal was startled by the sudden "explosion" and subconsciously covered his face. His first reaction was that the firecracker raised by Barkley had exploded.
Then suddenly I realized something was wrong, and there was laughter!
When he opened his eyes, Buckley let out a crazy laugh. The "explosion" just now seemed to come from behind. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Hao holding two large bottles with no expression on his face. It's trembling, and there are still sounds!
¡°This¡How could O¡¯Neal not know that he had been teased just now? He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao moved and nimbly dodged¡
Turning around to catch Barkley again, Barkley had already retreated far away.
O¡¯Neal stood up to chase, but Zhang Hao threw it away, turned around and ran away. Barkley also turned around and ran away, and in a different direction!
When O'Neal stood up, the pain in his calf suddenly came, and he could only sit back down.
At this moment, O'Neal was furious!
"If I were agile, I wouldn't be able to kill you!"
