"Link is very strong. I guess few players in the league can have the advantage in him. It makes me feel desperate to play against him."

This is what Wiggins said to reporters three days ago after the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves bloodied in Minnesota.

Generally speaking, young players with high potential rarely admit defeat, especially star players who are dissatisfied with having gained a foothold in the league.

For example, when Kobe entered the league, he was dissatisfied with Jordan.

When James entered the league with the halo of "Son of Chosen", he did not think he was worse than Kobe.

As soon as they entered the league, they began to be enemies with the best players in the league.

But Wiggins, the No. 1 pick who is known as James, fully demonstrates his helplessness and has no intention of using Link as an enemy at all.

He didn't say "I look forward to the next fight with Link."

He also did not say, "I will continue to work hard and strive to do better next time."

Instead, he said: "Link makes me feel desperate."

So after the interview that day, Wiggins was ridiculed by the crowd.

People say he lost his energy at a young age.

He said he had no ambitions that a No. 1 pick should have.

I don't have the necessary desire to win for a great player, I'm sorry for his talent.

Wiggins' attitude towards games and strong enemies is destined to be a great player.

Originally, many people wanted to wait for the Grizzlies and Bucks to use Antetokounmpo to reversely black Wiggins.

Little did he know that Antetokounmpo also suffered a crushing defeat when facing Link. And he also agreed with Wiggins's speech!

It turns out that Wiggins is not as unbearable as people say.

He was not cowardly, he was just telling the truth. Like all other young people, he tried his best, but he was still beaten to pieces.

Link is really strong. He is indeed a nightmare for all new stars. He makes these newcomers understand that "just work hard can win the game" is just a lie.

Players like Antetokounmpo who have terrifying talents are like this, how can you expect other young people to do better?

It can be said that after the game, Wiggins was saved by Antetokounmpo.

Now everyone knows that Wiggins is not wrong. Because all the new stars in this league have no resistance in front of Link!

At the post-match press conference, Antetokounmpo also admitted the huge gap between himself and Link.

"I said last season that the best players in the league were wearing Grizzlies jerseys. But to be honest, Link is better than I thought."

"I have no chance at all. He seems to be able to predict all my actions. My every move is completely within his control."

"Link is impeccable on the offense, and I tried to interfere with my height and wingspan, but it didn't work at all."

"Even though the champion of last season was the Warriors, I still think Link is the best player in the league. How to say it? He is a character at the top of the pyramid. I hope I can catch up with him one day, but it is certainly not now."

As a fan of Link, Antetokounmpo did not complain after losing the game, but generously admitted Link's greatness.

But the reporters were surprised by the fact that he had just defeated Paul George's players in the last game.

Does this guy Link have a boundary?

Was the Warriors able to defeat Link last season a coincidence or a proof of their real strength?

The Grizzlies are in such a good momentum this year. Can they really win the championship just one year?

If Antetokounmpo praises Link, it is because he has a good impression of Link.

Kidd's praise for Link at the press conference made people unable to find fault.

"Link is a smart player. He knows how to solve the current dilemma. This is what makes him the most unique. Many people only focus on Link's bounce and his precise shooting, but I think his best place is here." Kidd said, pointing his finger to his head.

That guy Link was on the court, as mature as a 40-year-old football player!

Kidd knew that experience could not be formed quickly. But when he and the Mavericks fought against the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals in 2011, Link, who was first-year, showed incredible maturity and sophistication.

Yes, experience cannot be accumulated quickly. But there are always a few exceptions in this world, and Link is one of them.

The entire Bucks' press conference seemed to have become Link's commendation conference.

Antetokounmpo and Kidd confessed their defeat and praised Link while praising him, which really made the reporters speechless.

What they wanted to see was a verbal battle between the two sides, but unexpectedly, they were all one-sided praises to Link.

The day after the game, when Kidd and Antetokounmpo's praise of Link flew all over the Internet, Bill Simmons made another big news.

He updated the highly anticipated column "Hall of Fame Pyramids" in his column.

This column was first updated in 2010. As the name suggests, the so-called "Hall of Fame Pyramid" is a ranking that Bill Simmons has given to all the great NBA players in history.

From the bottom to the top of the pyramid, a total of 96 people were selected. And these 96 people also ranked in a certain order.

This "Hao of Fame Pyramid" selects all players in league history, so both active and retired players are among them.

This kind of drama of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" made fans talk about it with relish.

However, this column has never been updated for the second time since 2010.

Now that six years have passed, the situation in the league is already very different from the time. Kobe has left, and James and the Heat have not reached the expected height.

Therefore, everyone is eager to know what changes will happen if Bill Simmons is asked to rank again.

For this reason, fans have argued a lot on basketball forums.

As a result, Bill Simmons' "Hall of Fame Pyramid" was updated today, and his ranking is really coming!

Fans were excited to flock to Bill Simmons' column, which even caused the server to be paralyzed for a while.

Otherwise, how could Bill Simmons be a very influential basketball writer worldwide?

Less than ten minutes after the "Hall of Fame Pyramid" was updated, basketball forums in various parts of the world were all exploded.

Because the ranking this time is very different from the last time, and it is quite controversial!

Vince Carter, who ranked 89th in 2010, surpassed the "Rain Man" Camp, Robert Horry, Dwight Howard and McGrady, and soared 12 places and ranked 77th!

The reason is very simple. Carter has an additional championship ring compared to 6 years ago!

In 2010, Simmons predicted that the elderly Carter would retire in a simple manner and would never have any amazing performance in the playoffs in this life.

As a result, the veteran, who is almost 40 years old, is still fighting hard.

Moreover, the redemption winning shot from the left corner in the playoffs in 2015 and the final victory against the Grizzlies exceeded Bill Simmons' expectations.

So this time, he improved Carter's ranking, before McGrady, who had no championship and Howard who played badly now.

After that, Kidd and Nowitzki's rankings also improved.

Because at that time, Bill Simmons never thought that these two veterans could win the championship tenaciously a year after he was ranked out of this "pyramid".

Kidd and Dirk were originally ranked 43rd and 39th, but now Kidd has surpassed Nash, Kevin McHale and others to rank 30th!

Compared to Nash, Kidd won the championship after all, and played a key role in winning the championship season, so he now ranks higher than Nash.

Nowitzki rose to 26th place, with great players such as Garnett, Isaiah Thomas, Pippen and John Stockton.

In other words, the 26th place is already a very high position.

You should know that before winning the championship in 2011, Dirk was not popular. At that time, he had nothing to do with the word "great". Compared to greatness, people would rather call him soft-boys.

But this super-god season of 10-11 made the "German Chariot" salted fish turn over. He not only won honor, but also respect.

Therefore, Simmons adjusted Dirk's ranking, and Nowitzki deserved this honor.

Afterwards, James soared from the original 20th to the 13th place.

In 6 years, James successfully entered the ranks of the top 15 cranes from the top 20 in history.

When Bill Simmons worked on this "pyramid" for 10 years, James had no championship yet and had not even announced that he would join the Heat.

But with his strong personal ability, Simmons still put James without champions in 20th place.

While the Heat won a championship, James also reached the end of the day for six consecutive years!

This allowed him to surpass Barkley, Elkin Baylor, Julius Irving and Moses Malone and temporarily ranked 13th!

The two above James' head are two historical monsters, Olajuwon and O'Neal.

If James wins the championship more times, the ranking may be further.

However, seeing the end, the fans found that neither Carter, Kidd, Dirk or James, their rankings changed the most.

This year, the player with the biggest change in rankings has surpassed 90 players directly!

In 2010, this player had not yet entered the "pyramid".

But now, he was ranked sixth in the pyramid by Bill Simmons, replacing the position that originally belonged to Wilt Chamberlain!

In addition to their strong personal honors, Jordan, Bill Russell, Jabbar, "Magic" and Bird, among the top five, have many historical status bonuses.

Because the five of them are not just a matter of personal honor, but have driven the development of the entire alliance.

Therefore, the rankings of the top five are generally considered unshakable.

To put it bluntly, the sixth-ranked one is actually a super basketball superstar who has put aside historical factors and other factors. Simmons believes that his strength is on par with the top five!

He is a player between God and man.

Previously, Bill Simmons left this position to Chamberlain, even though he hated that guy very much.

And now, he thinks this person is Link!

Legends such as Chamberlain, Duncan, Kobe and "logo man" Jerry West were forced to drop from one place by Link!

There is no doubt that Link has become the most controversial in this "pyramid".

Ranked sixth, second only to those five "gods". Moreover, it is the highest ranked player among the active players!

Bill Simmons' praise for Link caught everyone off guard! Link's appearance is also the reason why he became so popular after the "Pyramid" update.

The strongest active service, or the greatest member in history!
