No ranking, no basketball! The charm of competitive sports lies in competition, the scores are high and low in competitions, and the rankings are ranked by players, which makes you and me accustomed to it. Generally speaking, the media and players have different opinions. The former focuses on data and honors, while the latter takes player skills and game influence as the starting point.

Recently, the former NBA single-game 55 points talked about his top five rankings in history! In today's NBA games, 55 points in a single game is not uncommon, but if it were 15 years ago, the value of this single game was also extraordinary.

At the beginning of the 2009-10 season, Jennings, who was selected as the 10th pick in the first round, was only 185cm tall and a left-handed rookie, scored 55 points in a single game and became famous overnight when facing Curry, who was also a rookie!

Braided head, with a flexible and thin style, crazy moves and helps the team win. This is his seventh game on the NBA stage. While scoring 55 points, it also makes it difficult for James to match his popularity at that time.

After all, Jennings' 55 points in a single game broke James' youngest single game 50+ score record, and he often appears in football rating programs after retirement. This is not the case, in the "VLADTV" podcast, Jennings talked about the top five in history.

"When Michael danced for the last time, I was only 8 years old. I don't know what happened in the NBA?" For this reason, Jennings also did not choose Jordan among the top 5 players in history because he witnessed Jordan's game with his own eyes, which means that the Flyingman was defeated.

"Curry entered the NBA with me, but he was completely different from other players. The outside world questioned that he was too weak and unable to dribble and stayed in the league. As a result, he made all the doubters wrong. Now people are paying more and more attention to shooting three-pointers!"

"This makes me perhaps need to change the top five in my heart in my heart. Kobe is there, no doubt, Duncan is the same, and then O'Neal, James and Curry!"

For this reason, from Jennings' point of view, Curry ranks in the top five in the NBA. At present, whether he is in the top ten in NBA history is still controversial. But we also mentioned earlier that this is the player's personal opinion and media listing data and honors, obviously the situation is not passed!

He is in the same class as Curry, so naturally he has also seen Kobe, O'Neal and Duncan play. To this end, Jennings chose to rank Kobe and Duncan in the top two, and these two players are also the greatest players in the first decade of the 21st century NBA.

There are obviously no doubt about the championship, regular season honors, personal data, record and event influence! O'Neal is the same, but compared to Kobe and Duncan, his peak period is relatively short.

As for James, Jennings ranks him fourth. After all, since 2010, James and Curry have won the most championships in the NBA and their influence on the game is hard to match.
