Which players in the NBA have really gone from bench to supergiant?

If you want to play in the NBA, in addition to strength, what you need is opportunity, because being able to enter the NBA stage proves that your strength is already at a relatively high level in the world. So a lot of superstars come out of the bench, so let's take a look at the superstars who came out of the bench.

TOP5 Medica.

When Maddy was drafted at that time, he was very talented and was also favored by many teams, but after being selected by the Raptors, because Carter was on the second position, Maddy could only play Carter as a substitute. However, Maddy averaged points per game on the bench, but this did not attract the attention of the Raptors, who instead hoped that Maddy would continue to be the best sixth man. Maddie wanted to be the main player instead of being on the bench, and finally Maddy switched to the Magic team and started the era of Maddie, and then came to the Rockets to surpass Kobe Bryant in popularity, especially in China, Maddie's popularity has been high.

top4 Leonard.

At first, Popovich just wanted to train Leonard to become a top 3D player, but after Leonard's ability to show, Popovich was also very surprised, it was originally a template for Bruce Bowen, but it gave Popovich the feeling of Emperor Zhan, which made Popovich very surprised, and then successfully cultivated Leonard into a superstar player, and at this time the Spurs dealt with the secret of Emperor Zhan**. However, in the end, Leonard was different from Duncan and chose to leave the Spurs and began his prime.

top3 Harden.

Harden should be the only player on this list who has the best sixth man, and the Thunder also wanted Harden to play this role all the time, but it can only be said that the Thunder did not see the superstar potential hidden behind Harden. When Harden came to the Rockets, everyone changed their views on Harden, and it is estimated that Harden also regretted it very much after the detonator saw it, he could have had a big three, but he sold a big giant.

top2 Nash.

Nash hasn't been able to get rid of one person since he entered the league, and that's Kidd. At first, Nash played as a substitute for Kidd, and later moved to the Mavericks, but he didn't have much performance, and it can only be said that Nash is already an All-Star level player. But when Nash returned to the Suns, he showed his superstar quality and won the regular season MVP twice.

TOP1 Kobe.

Kobe Bryant also started playing from the bench after joining the NBA in 96, when the Lakers' second position was held by another All-Star player, Kobe Bryant has been playing him as a substitute, but since Kobe Bryant was selected as an All-Star in the second year, the Lakers began to change their attitude and straighten Kobe Bryant, of course, this is also the right choice, and in the end Kobe Bryant brought a total of 5 championships to the Lakers.

Paul George, Maddy, Leonard, Harden, Nash, Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was a substitute for Jones in the early years of the Lakers, and Maddy was also a substitute for Big Brother Carter when he first entered the Raptors, Leonard was the same with the Spurs, and Harden was often substituted in the Thunder!

Kobe Bryant and Harden, Kobe Bryant played as a substitute in front of the Lakers in 1996, then won three consecutive championships, and then won two consecutive championships and MVP in 09 and 10, and really dominated the league.

Harden is the same, he played as a substitute for two seasons with the Thunder, and after coming to the Rockets, he became the team's big man, with unlimited players, and also allowed him to win the scoring title and MVP many times. has become the strongest player in the active roster except for James, Leonard, Durant, and Brother Alphabet.

There are 12 players in total, including 5 starters and 7 substitutes; There are certain rigid requirements for the number of limbs, because in this way the fairness of the game can be ensured, so that there is a rough waiter who can reduce disputes with the effect of arguing.

A team can play 12 players, 5 official players, and the rest are substitutes, so there are hard requirements.

There are 12 players in total, including 5 starters, 7 substitutes, and a maximum of 13 players.

Under normal circumstances, no one who can play as a starter doesn't like to play as a substitute, except for those who are willing to play sixth man for the sake of the team system. The core of the team is often the starting players, but it is very difficult to start all the time in your career. Players will always go through the rookie period, injuries and late career form declines, so 99% of players will have the experience of being a substitute.

Even James, who is as strong as him, once chose to come off the bench with his good brother Vallejo in order not to be booed by the home fans. Anthony has always been a starter, and later broke his own golden body for the 404 team.

But these 5 superstars in the current service have played many games in their careers, but they have always been starters, and they do have some outstanding strength.

Irving started as a top pick, and has shown great scoring ability since his rookie season, and has immediately become the core of the team. In the '16 Finals, he teamed up with James to stage a shocking reversal, and Irving's singles were almost unguarded in the playoffs. He has such strength, naturally he can get the maximum respect of the team, whether it is in the Cavaliers, Celtics or Nets, no head coach dares to let him play as a substitute, starting 528 games.

Durant is also the kind of player who enters the league as a super rookie, and the SuperSonics were also rebuilding at that time, so they naturally took Durant as the core, averaging 25 points per game from the second year, and has been at the level of a superstar ever since. has won 4 scoring titles, 1 MVP and 2 championships and 2 MVPs, even if Durant suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, the Nets still offered him the highest salary, and I believe that until he retires, he will not be arranged to play on the bench, starting 849 games.

Griffin, who played in the playoffs with an injury last year, has now slipped a lot, averaging only 15 points per game, but the Pistons have always arranged for him to play as a starter. He was famous for his dunk during his time with the Clippers and was once the league's No. 1 forward, and the Pistons originally hoped that he and Zhuang Shen could bring a breakthrough, but now it seems that the plan has failed, and Griffin's starting position is likely to be lost, starting 622 games.

Although we haven't been able to see "Yellow Mamba" Roy reach his peak, there are more or less shadows of him in Lillard now. As an older rookie, he was given a main position when he entered the league, and after the team's starters disbanded, only Lillard stayed and grew into a superstar step by step. The Trail Blazers' four-year contract with Lillard is very sincere, and he should end up in Portland, a good story of one man and one city, starting 603 games.

Paul is the only active player who has played 1,006 games and started all of them. It can also be seen from here Paul's status in the rivers and lakes, the former No. 1 point guard in the league is not blown out, Paul's ability to lead the team is rare in history, and having him is equivalent to having a playoff ticket. Coupled with the fact that Paul is also the president of the players' union, basically all teams will give him face.

Counting the players who have not played on the bench in the NBA, there are only 7, and Zhan Huang can't do it.

Trail Blazers star: Lillard.

Nets star: Kyrie Irving.

Nets star: Kevin Durant.

Thunder star: Chris Paul.

Pistons star: Blake Griffin.

Celtics star: Jayson Tatum.

76ers star: Ben Simmons.

76ers star: Joel Embiid.

The NBA is the highest temple in the basketball world, and being able to enter the NBA to play is the greatest ideal of every basketball player. Then after entering the NBA, it is even more rare to be able to play as a starter throughout his career, and there are only a few active NBA players who can do this, even James is difficult to do (one bench).

Paul was the No. 4 pick in the 2005 draft and has now played 15 seasons with the Hornets, Clippers, Rockets and Thunder. He played a total of 1,013 games in the regular season in his career, started every game, averaged points, rebounds, assists, and steals, shooting 47% from the field and 37% from three-point range.

Durant, the 2007 draft pick, has played 12 seasons with the Thunder and Warriors, and has not played since joining the Nets this season due to injury. In his career, he played a total of 849 games in the regular season, started every game, averaged 27 points and 7 rebounds and assists per game, with a high shooting percentage and a three-point shooting percentage, including four scoring titles, and is really the top scorer in NBA history.

Griffin, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, has played 10 seasons and missed a rookie season due to injury, playing for the Clippers and Pistons. He played a total of 622 games in the regular season in his career, started every game, averaged points, rebounds and assists per game, and shot from the field and three-point range. Due to injuries, Griffin has missed more games in recent seasons, and after his explosiveness declined, his dominance gradually declined.

Irving, the top pick in the 2011 draft, now played nine seasons with the Cavaliers, Celtics and Nets. He played a total of 528 games in the regular season in his career, started every game, averaged points, rebounds and assists per game, and shot percentage from the field and three-point percentage. Irving is a tough scorer, but because of his unique personality factors, he often has a series of conflicts with his team.

Lillard, the No. 6 pick in the 2012 draft, has now played eight seasons with the Trail Blazers. He played a total of 607 games in the regular season in his career, and can be described as one of the representatives of the Iron Man, starting every game, averaging points, rebounds and assists per game, shooting percentage and 37% three-point shooting percentage. Lillard's toughest thing is his big heart, and "countdown" has become synonymous with him.

James! All-weather starters! No matter at any time, any teammate, there is the strength of the absolute starter! If you don't include the Olympic Dream Team, Durant can also be said to have never played off the bench. You tell me?

Jokic, this star's skills are very good, Brother Alphabet has a lot of talent, Leonard has been an FMVP for 14 years, and Harden is known as a scoring god.

The NBA's current stars who have gone from the bench to supergiants include Harden, Curry, and Leonard. Harden entered the NBA as a backup for Willis. And Curry also started off the bench in the early days of joining the Warriors. Leonard is no exception.

They're Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Leonard and Harden. They are very explosive on the field, and their strength is even better.
