Yao Ming is the number one in China! US media rated the best basketball player in various countries: James, South Korea, Hesheng Town

Yao Ming is the number one in China! With the deepening of the offseason and the progress of the globalization of the NBA, the US media "hoopshype" also selected the best basketball player in history in various countries based on its latest performance. Among them, James beat Jordan to become the best in the United States, and South Korea was elected by Hasheng Town.

China: Yao Ming (Yi Jianlian Second)

Honors: 5 Best Team, 8 All-Stars, 3 Asian Cup Championships, 3 Asian Cup MVP

No doubt, Yao Ming is the best candidate for the best basketball player in Chinese history, and even the best candidate for the best basketball player in Asia.

At its peak, Yao Ming was not only one of the best inside players in the NBA era, but also an invincible insider weapon in the international arena. He led the relatively weak Chinese men's basketball team to successfully enter the top eight.

Since Yao Ming retired, the Chinese men's basketball team has fallen into a long period of decline, not only losing its former position as the king of Asia, but also suffering from the blow of missing the Olympics.

United States: James (Jordan's second)

Honors: 4 championships, 4FMVP, 4MVP, 13 first team, 21 All-Stars, 5 defense first team, 3 Olympic gold medals, 1 Olympic MVP

There is obviously huge controversy in the US media ranking James before Jordan. At the NBA level, Jordan has more championships, FMVP and MVP, and has led the team to complete three consecutive championships twice to establish a dynasty team.

In terms of international basketball achievements, the American men's basketball team led by Jordan occupies absolute dominance, allowing international basketball to witness the absolute dominance of top NBA players. The only pity is that Jordan won not as many gold medals as James.

In terms of personal influence, James has gained the dividends of the new media era and the globalization of the Internet, but Jordan is still the undisputed "God of Basketball" and the strong binding of GOAT with basketball. In contrast, James' label is the ultimate commercialization and the maximization of personal interests.

Japan: Hachimura (Yota Watanabe)

Honor: None

After Yao Ming retired, the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian basketball world declined, especially after Australia and New Zealand were also included in the Asian basketball range, the Chinese men's basketball team became a second-tier team.

In contrast, the Japanese men's basketball team quickly adapted to the naturalization adjustment of the FIBA and quickly completed the pursuit of the Chinese men's basketball team. Among them, the mixed-race player Hachimura is one of the key figures in the rapid rise and growth of the Japanese men's basketball team.

He also occupies a stable role in the NBA. He not only competes in many seasons in the NBA, but also serves as a starter for most of the time. He also won a multi-year contract of tens of millions, which also helped the Japanese men's basketball team to join the top international basketball competition for the first time since the 1970s.

South Korea: Heshengzhen (Yang Donggen second)

Honor: third place in the Asian Cup and Asian Games

As Yao Ming's "little fan", Heshengzhen is also an inside big man produced in Asia and is also the only player selected by the NBA in the history of the Korean men's basketball team, so he is undoubtedly the number one person in South Korea's basketball.

However, he did not gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and as a second round pick, he did not get too patient training. He was given up after playing for two short seasons and directly faded out of the NBA arena.

In the international arena, he encountered the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming, so the honors he received were relatively limited.

The best players in the rest of the countries are as follows (second in brackets)

Turkey: Tkoglu (Shenjing)

Switzerland: Capela (Seflosha)

Spain: Grand Gasol (Gasol Jr.)

Slovenia: Doncic (Dragic)

Russia: Kirilenko (Belov)

Nigeria: Austria Rajuwon (Diogu)

Latvia: Poe (Vitra)

Greece: Antetokounmpo (Spannolis)

Germany: Nowitzki (Schroeder)

France: Parker (Gober)

Canada: Nash (Alexander)
