Which NBA superstars are inspirational and have worked their way up from the bench to become superst

What is a substitute player, for people who don't know much about the NBA, a substitute player is equivalent to a stand-in, which is fundamentally different from the player in the last game. But for a team, it's the bench players who represent the depth of the team, and they are an integral part of the team. Many good stars are born as bench players, so who are the players in the NBA who have gone from bench to superstar?

There are only 4 people, and Maddie Bryant is on the list!

Bryant. <>

Kobe Bryant is one of the most influential superstars in the world, and his rise began off the bench. We all know that Kobe Bryant is a high school player, and when he first entered the league, it was not smooth, although his strength is not bad, but not to the point where he can compare with the star players in the peak of the team. He has grown from a high school player to a well-rounded player in the NBA, and the hardships are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Kobe Bryant went from the bench to the mainstay of the team, won many NBA Finals championships, and won the scoring title and MVP many times, and the strongest substitute is him!

Nash. <>

Nash is a representative of the first generation, he is the super point guard we know, the "son of the wind" on the court, and he also started as a bench player when he started his NBA career. Bench players are the guarantee of a team, a player with a super high ball quotient like Nash, it is a chance to become the main player of the team, and the Suns are Nash's chance to rise. Nash is the ninth guard in NBA history to win the MVP, the third guard to win the MVP, and has entered the NBA All-Star team eight times in his career.

Mcgrady. <>

Maddie's basketball is halfway to the beginning, he first started practicing baseball, and then gradually liked basketball, compared with other players, Maddie's foundation may be relatively poor, but after entering the NBA, Maddie's growth is rapid, we can see Maddie's changes and progress in every game, and he also won the "NBA Most Improved Player Award". Maddie is a super-athletic talent, he is a defensive stalwart on the team, and even as a substitute, he is the strongest reserve force on the team.

Drexler.

Drexler's glorious nineties were full of superstars, and many stars were the best of that era, and Jordan was one of the most iconic figures. Drexler has attracted a large number of fans and fans with his pleasing dunks, which is why he is known as "The Glider". A 10-time NBA All-Star in his career, Drexler helped the team win the NBA Finals, and he started off as a bench player for three seasons.

Kobe Bryant is a very inspirational typical case. This is because Kobe Bryant was a substitute in the team when he first entered the NBA, but we saw that Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity given by the team and eventually became a superstar in the NBA.

Maddy's career is more inspirational, he and his cousin Carter entered the Raptors team at the same time, but everyone's eyes are on Carter, and Maddy slowly plays results.

Jimmy Butler. He was the 30th pick in the first round and has been working hard for several seasons to lead the Heat to a championship.

Not every player who enters the NBA is as star-studded as Duncan, O'Neal, and James, and most of them are still mediocre. For example, Brother Alphabet was not high at the beginning, and he also relied on hard work the day after tomorrow. It's even more difficult if you're a substitute, and you need to play well enough in the limited time you need to be a starter and you can get to the next level.

There are many bench players in NBA history, but there are very few who have become superstars, and there are only 5 players at present.

Drexler in the 90s, his popularity is not inferior to Jordan, although there is a big gap in personal strength, but Drexler with his gorgeous style of play, it is still a circle of fans, and then he has the reputation of "glider". His success was not easy, in the 90s when the gods were fighting, Drexler was only a substitute at first, and he only became a starter at the beginning of the fourth season of his career, and slowly played his dominance. A one-time champion, a 10-time All-Star, a five-time All-Star induction, and an induction into the Hall of Fame in 2004, he has long been one of the 50 superstars of all time.

Nash was only a substitute in the first two seasons of his career, averaging only about 3 assists per game, and his passing strength was not visible at all. However, after moving to the Mavericks, Nash began to have the ball, and his ability to control the court was shown. Coming to the Suns, he ushered in the peak of his career, he is the first superstar in the NBA to win the MVP in a row, he also has 5 assists, 3 seasons for a while, and Nash will be even more powerful in this era.

Maddy was not only a backup for the Raptors at the beginning, he was also just the younger brother next to Carter, and he was only a defensive titan on the Rubbers team. But gold will shine, and after Maddie's transfer to the Magic, he was a big killer on offense, and he won the scoring king twice in the 4th year of the Magic. He is also the only superstar in history to have been selected for a while as a shooting guard and small forward, and he is the ultimate representative of the swingman at the front.

There are still 35.13 seconds left in his career, saying that Maddie is not worthy of the Hall of Fame, obviously black for the sake of black.

Harden is the NBA's No. 1 quarterback, and his offense is the No. 1 presence among active guards. Harden was the Thunder's second-team surprise at the beginning, when the Thunder were Durant's team. When he came to the Rockets, he had enough possession of the ball, and he started his own scoring spree.

He has won three scoring titles, one MVP, and one championship away, and Harden is basically equal to Wade at the point guard position.

The last one is Kobe Bryant, who is familiar to us, and his career is like an inspirational blockbuster that inspires many people. Kobe Bryant, who first entered the league, was just O'Neal's younger brother, and he didn't have the ball at all in the Lakers. It was through his own efforts that he gained the trust of the team, which led to more opportunities to play.

After breaking up with O'Neal, Kobe Bryant led the team to win the championship twice, and won the FMVP on both occasions, and he proved his strength. His 81 points and 60 points in the retirement battle are unbeatable records, and the picturesque back-up is constantly being imitated!

There is still a big gap between the strength of the substitute and the starter, and it is even more difficult to be able to play the starting lineup all the time. There are many stars in the NBA who are not guaranteed, and they have been starting in their careers, and as their strength declines, the status of the team will also decline, so it is likely to fall from the starter to the bench, such as the current Howard, Anthony, and Rose. However, there are also stars who start with thunder, which is a reflection of the strength of the players, and these 5 are like this today!

Paul is indeed old now, not as tough defensively, not as fast, but he is still the absolute core point guard of the team. His ability to take the Thunder to the playoffs this season is already a testament to his strength, and his ability to handle the court is among the best in history. Paul has not been on the bench once in 15 seasons, and a master of control like him is estimated to be a starter until retirement.

Irving's ability to lead the team is indeed average, and the defense is also unsatisfactory, but the offense is really strong. He has a lot of offensive means, and he is expected to score 60 points on open attack. Irving is the perfect two-player, especially in a scoring impasse, and he is the best option to break the scoring drought.

Owen is because of his excellent offense, and he is also a starter, unless his statistics fall off a cliff, otherwise he has been a stable starter for the past three years.

Durant is in demand on any team, and his offensive ability is 30 million a year. Durant's shooting is too incomprehensible, and with his physical talent at the No. 3 position, there is really no opponent. Durant is also strong defensively now, and he also belongs to the offensive and defensive integration.

Even if the Achilles tendon is seriously injured, Durant after his comeback is still a safe starter.

Lillard is the star of the Trail Blazers, and he's likely to live here for the rest of his life. Lillard is in peak offensive form right now, and his "watch-wearing" moment really scares opponents. Not only does he have the best regular season stats, but he also has the best performance in the playoffs, and he has a chance to improve again in the future.

Griffin is no longer the "White Monster" who flies away, but his starting position is still unreplaceable. Griffin's transition has been successful, and now he has developed both mid-range shooting and three-point shooting, and if he needs to play strongly, he is still at the top of the 4 position. He is still averaging 20+8 data per game, and Griffin is likely to return with full blood next season!

James, as the first active player, why he didn't start all the time, because he chose to come off the bench with Vallejo in order to stand out for Valejo. His only substitution game is to give his brother a head, which is really righteous, otherwise with James's strength, even if he wants to play as a substitute, the team will not allow it!

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

Durant, Irving, Lillard, Griffin, Paul. It had been a record held by Anthony before. I believe that in the near future they will all have to go through a substitute role, unless they retire directly.

There are some superstars in the NBA who have never played off the bench in their careers, such as Paul, Irving, Durant, Lillard, Griffin.

There are only 5 people on active duty, namely Paul, Lillard, Griffin, Irving, and Durant.

The strongest bench player in the NBA is Harrell, the first of whom is Harrell of the Clippers, who just won the Sixth Man of the Year this year, and he is very strong. The second is Louis Williams of the Clippers, who has won the Sixth Man of the Year three times and is one of the strongest bench players. The third is Gordon, a Rockets bench player who has also won the Sixth Man of the Year and is also the strongest bench player.

Loewe, Harrell, Iguodala, Seth Curry, Rose, etc., these are very capable players, better than many starters. Both Lowe and Harrell won the "Sixth Man of the Year". Seth Curry has become a very important role for the team, and he is probably the team's best sixth man.

Ross's ability is unquestionable.

I think the strongest is the Clippers' Louis Williams, who has a lot of scoring ability and is fully qualified to play as a starter.

The strongest active bench players in the NBA are the following: Louis Williams; Harrell; Beverley; Livingston; Rondo; Sabonis Jr.; Kuzma and so on.

In fact, in the NBA, not all superstars can show their personal talent after entering the league, many superstars start from the bench, such as Kobe, Maddy, including James Harden, etc., all started from the bench, and slowly played to the current results.

Kobe Bryant, as one of the greatest players in the NBA league, also started from the bench after entering the NBA league. At that time, Kobe Bryant entered the NBA league as a high school student, although Kobe's skills were very good after entering the league, but compared with some of the old players in the team, he still seemed relatively immature. And Kobe Bryant also through his own efforts, slowly won everything for himself, Kobe is a very hard player, often spend a lot of time on training, maybe Kobe's talent is not high, but the acquired efforts can indeed make up for these shortcomings, so there is a later superstar.

Maddie is a super talented basketball player, and Maddie himself is a halfway home. Maddie started playing baseball, but then found that she was more and more fond of basketball, so she gave up baseball and started playing basketball. After entering the NBA league, Maddie's foundation is relatively poor, but after all, the talent is relatively high, but Maddie also started from the bench, and after entering the league, he also won the Best Improved Player Award.

Then let's talk about James Harden, everyone knows that James Harden formed the Thunder Three Less with Durant and Wei Shao when he was on the Thunder team, but in this combination, James Harden only played a bench position. And at that time, James Harden's scoring ability was not particularly **, but after coming to the Rockets, James Harden became the main force, and at this time, James Harden gradually began to show his scoring talent, and slowly became a superstar in the NBA league.

Among the active players in the NBA, Harden slowly started from the bench, Harden played as a substitute for three years, and Harden played off the bench mainly because the Thunder starters were full of talent and good potential, but they lacked a strong scoring point on the bench, so Harden was placed on the bench.

Jon Buss slowly started from the bench, because he was very determined to play the main team, and because of his lack of skills, he has been working the bench, and finally achieved his dream.
