Kobe s Hall of Fame recommender is Jordan, who will James be? Only 4 players in the NBA are qualified

In a blink of an eye, James has reached the age of 40. He has played in the league for 22 seasons. Even if he is unwilling to admit it, he is at the age of retiring. For players of his level, entering the Hall of Fame is almost a foregone conclusion. Generally speaking, there must be a referee when entering the Hall of Fame. For example, Kobe's original referee was Jordan, which shows how valuable he is to enter the Hall of Fame. So if James enters the Hall of Fame in the future, who will the referee be? I'm afraid there are only 4 players in the current NBA. Let's take a look at who they are!

4: Magic Johnson

Both the Magic Johnson and Magic Johnson have a certain relationship in terms of personal relationships and cooperation. When James wanted to leave the Cavaliers in 2018, the Lakers were the most active team, and the leader of this matter was Magic Johnson.

He privately explained the pros and cons of joining the Lakers and was willing to help James gain a foothold in Los Angeles. At that time, James left the Cavaliers to give his family a better environment, and his business plan also required himself to have a bigger stage. The Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly the most promising team among James' suitors. Magic Johnson also explained to him the future plan of the Lakers, which completely touched James. We all know the story that followed. In the 19-20 season, the Lakers welcomed Brother Davis, and the team's lineup also underwent in-depth strengthening and finally won the championship. So it is very appropriate for Magic Johnson to introduce James to the Hall of Fame.

3: Duncan

Duncan is James' old opponent in his career, and he is also a very important opponent. He met three times in the finals alone. The first time was in 2007. The young James met the experienced Duncan. Duncan led the team to sweep the Cavaliers led by James 4-0. Then in 2013, James led the Heat to narrowly defeat the Spurs 4-3, which was also James' only series victory against Duncan in the finals.

Then in the 2014 finals, Duncan led the team to make a comeback, and the gentleman swept the Heat led by James 4-1. Duncan was the advantage in the finals. He was also a respectable opponent on James' career growth path. Duncan's words "The future is yours" were true. So it is also appropriate to ask Duncan to recommend James.

2: Jabbar

Jabbar

Jabbar is also a relationship of both mentors and friends for James, because many of the scoring records broken by James in the later stage of his career are related to Jabbar. Before James, Jabbar was the NBA scoring leader and dominated the list for more than 20 seasons in a row. It was not until James' appearance that his scoring record was broken. When James broke this record, Jabbar also came to the scene to congratulate James. He is also an important witness to James' growth. Moreover, as a legend of the Lakers, it is reasonable for him to recommend him to James. As a center at the NBA's historical level, Jabbar is completely qualified.

1: Jordan

Finally, it is Jordan, which is also the James Hall of Fame recommended by many people. Nowadays, when many people are talking about who is the best player in NBA history, they are just two names, either Jordan or James, which is also everyone's consensus. In fact, before James really played, there were no players who could be compared with Jordan, and their achievements were more or less far from Jordan.

But James continued his legend step by step. He first won four championships, four FMVPs and four MVPs, and then broke the score record of 40,000 points. Many people say that James is the longest river in the NBA history, so as to compare with Jordan's longest mountain. In fact, there is no problem. James is the only player in the NBA who can win the title of Best Player with Jordan, so if Jordan can introduce James to the Hall of Fame, it would be a good story.
